FEEDING ON WET LEAVE*.
VVetoine lime since copied from the Farmer's
Register, a communication headed, "Silk
Worms Fed on Wet Leaves," by A. L. Archer,
of Petersburg, Va. in which the writer
stales that he this year fed 10,000
'worms?%Jort!y or entirely ou wet leaves,
and that he last year fed GO worms* and
"they did not know what a dry iraf was."
Doth parcels did well. The Editor of the
Journal of the American Silk Society copies
the article into a late number of his periodical,
with the following comments.

From the American fcS.Ik Grower.
Preservation of Silk Worm let
houses not the on'y means fry which these
may be preserved from hatching.
Those who design feeding si k worms
from the uinrtis mil! icuulis, planted in die
j Spiing, should know bow llio eggs may !>
I k>ptfroin hatching by the ir.cretiscd warmth
of the season, before tbo leaves have iit:aiiied
n size sufRcicn' to afford enough food Q
Icehouses have been miiuly depends !
upon for litis purpose, but the results of an
experiment made by Aubert, manager of
the Royal Domain at Neu-lly, near Paris,
shows that- silk worm eggs may be kept
two years, and perhaps lor a much longer
I peri.td, without ueing subjected to ugica'or
degree of cold tliun that which forms the
natural temperature of tbo earth, namely,
nhotv 06 ar 57 Fulirenlieit. So that cellars
caves, and wells, fro in which the attnosphetic
air is excluded, will answ er us
depositories for the preservation of eggs
j as w< u, ii not ocucr, iiiuii ice nouses.
The following is a condensed account
??f Aub'-rt's cxp rimrnts:?Silk worm eggs,
obtained from ninths in 1*34, ut the regular
1 season, werti put into n sm .11 tin lidx which
! was ilcpositoJ in a cctler at Ncuilly. The
! tempera'uo of this eel cr during the greutI
c-h heat of August 1H35 never row above
1 11 Rcuninut-r. or 57 Fahrenheit, nor did
j the eggs manifest the slightest indication
j of hatching, (laving remained in hesaine
i situation during another season, they wep*,
j after a lapse of ubnir 22 m??n lis, brought
! out and batchuJ hy C. ll auvis, under
i whose superintendence they were reared
; with the most perfect nuccs*.
Tlio result of this exp-riment makes us
, acquainted wi;h some highly interesting and
1 useful fiets. It demonstrates "dearly liial
j silk worm eggs require n temperature lvgh?
i or than that met w ith in thu earth at .lie
| ordinary depths of cellars and wells, to give
i ili nn the ha cuing movement, and conse.
| qneiuly go< s to show that tlie preservation
of a Ik worm eggs enn probably be more
sifly ellcoted in cellars properly adapted
for tho purpose, than in ice houses. Th- w
last are not always within the reach of persons
engage J in rearing silk worms, where,
as almost every one can have access to n
suitable cellar, cave, or diy well.
The place where the eggs are deposited
should be clos-d or cut off so as to prevent
the circu'ution ofi.s air wli cli will thus always
irmnin at the temperature of tho surrounding
earth. A thermomrvftr placed
near the eggs should be examined occasionally
in the warm n< ason, to ascertain
whetll ;r the temperature ke-'ps suffioien ly
low. It will not do to trust to the feelings
for this purpose, as a place may (eel sufficiently
cool, whilst it is actually warm enough
to c .use the eggs to hatch out. To
insure success the thermometer should nevit
be above 5(1 or 57. Tlio eggs having
once p iss1 d through iheir hybernation, a
very short exposure to wurm.h will excite
the hrcb ng movement, ro tliat handling or
breathing U|>ou:he vessels containing diem,
should he iivoided us mueli as possible.
In asserting that silk worm eggs maybe
prevented fioin hatching, if kepi at a temperature
not exceeding 57 Fahrenheit, some
explanation may he necessary, especially to
those who, in their attempts at preservation,
have h d t >u e; gs io hatch in vessels almost
f not dir-cdy in contact with ice. The
egg* designed to be kept from batching must
bo deposited in the situation whno they are
to remain, cither previous to winter, or at
least sonic time before its < lose. This wll
prevent them from Parting or getting a
tendency to hatch ; for if this handling move,
m nt ever commences, the worms must be
suffer* d to come out at the natural period,
and any attempts to restrain them from doing
so, will destroy the embryo nsoct in the
shell, cr injure it to such a degree thai the
worms will either die sorn after hatching,
or drag out a f? eMo ex stonco. If tlt?*y live
to spin, lheir cocoons will be very indifleren .
S Ik worm pgs imported from Europe last
winter and spring, generally turned out
very unfavorably with those who atte mpted
to preserve them for late feeding tho pant
season. T.'io reason nl thi ?nii/ rl/.nUi

ment Is a proper d<*gree of warmili, unci
this ih<y meet with in crossing the gull
s rcam, the temperature of which is never
below 70 even in the dead of wint< r. Silk
worm eggs that havo thus had the hatching
tendency oxciied in tltem during their vov.
age to this country may serve very well lor
the fust or enriy crop ; but uny attempts to
keep tin ki back for lato feeding will end in
disappointment aa no degree of cold will answer
which will not either destroy, or pro-I
Juce irreparable injury to the tender eiubry.

VVHtO NOMINATION PGR THE PRESIDENCY
Il iv.ig announced in pari ul the edition of our
iaa*. week's paper that the Whir; National j
Convention at llairisburg had nominated j
Gen. Win. il. Harrison of Ohio for the Pre*w ^
dency. At the first balloting, Mr. Clay had (
a plural)y ol vote* ; hut many of his riemls
learning that the whole s'rength of the Whig *
parly could not be carried for him in either
New York or Pennsylvania determined on that
account after son#- day*, to vote for ilairison. '
On die final ballott, Gen. Harrison had 120 v
votes, Mr. Clay 1)0 and Gen. Scott 10. The s
Convention then by unau.inous vote passed a J!
resolution rcc< mmendmg Gen. llarrisom c
Mr. Tyler of Virginia, was unanimously
chosen as the cand.dato for the Vice Presi*
deucy, on the first ba loting. The delegate* v
from Virginia dclined voting on this question, li
not from opposition to the person in nomina- $
tion , but because ihcy found th t the only <
person spoken of was a citizen of their own a
state. Gov. Barbour, of Virginia was Presi- c
dent of the Convention.
The Join! Commit leu of the Houses of our
State Legislature to whom wag refe.-rcd the p
memorial of the Great Rail Ro id Company,
praying for an extension of the charter for
batikmg privilege*, and for an advnnce by the
Stato of 9000,000 of Stale Stock on it* *ub. li
scriptioi), have reported favorably to the prayer n
of the memorialists. Wo have neither room l'
nor time this week to co(.y the report. We v
hall do eo next week, if it should be adopted by "
the two houses; which frcm all we can learn,
we consider probable.
Exactly Riour.?The city Council of f,
Cincinnati lately laid a tax of 20 cehts on vva- (l
jons employed in that city. The owners re- d
used to pay, and determined to suffer suit, r
Whereupon an individual offered to clear w
hem all front the penalty of th* ordinance? for ,r
i dollar each, whielt the wagon owners
tromplly paid. He then went to the collector
in J paid the twenty five cent tax for each
vagon, and pocketed the 70 cents.
Threat of Rebellion.?The Van Ren- 1,1
ellear Family near Albany had a large tract
f tenitory granted to them tinder the Du'ch
>yn:tsty, which was afterwards confirmed or
llowed by both the British Government, and

ig an annual rent in wheat and other pro- ?"
ucti of the soil. Since tho death of the I'afoon,
as the venerable Gen. V. was called,
!ic tenants have refug'd payment. The She 1)1
IF was gont to collect. Ilo was resisted, ^
le then went with hi* possee commitauts, and
as again resisted. The Gover. or thereupon
rdered out sovorul companies of militia,
'Inch it was hoped might quell the spirit of fo
>s stance without bloodshed. Tlio Sheriff sa
as allowed to serve his processes, and the
tilitia were disbanded, 11
Gen. Bernard, formerly at the hoad of the
'ngmecc department of our Federal Goveruneut,
but who returned to France at the resolution
which brought the present King to

Fruit or Drunkenness.?Whilst a lad tlio

torses were frightened by eome drunken men
on of a respectable widow in Abbeville was
tlong tho road, and runaway. The whito hoy
