SILK. We have heen informed upon
good authority, that gentleman in Con
necticut appropriated one acre of land to
the cultivation of the Mulberry. From the
silk worms, which he was thus enabled to
Keep, he manufactured silk. which he sold
Tor two hundred dollars and all the ex-
penses OF manufacturing it was only one
hundred and fourteen dollars. There was
thus clear profit of eighty six dollars,
from one acre Of land. He could not have
realized so much profit from any other Gull
ture, and the labor could all be performed
by those, who could not attend to any 9th
er business.-.NdShua Gazette.

On Wednesday last, says the Camden

large size was discovered by negro man,
crossing the main road, short distance
below the bridge over Pine tree creek.
He was pursued, the negro having collect
ed number of others, and was discovered
in small pond formed in bend of the
creek. His course to the main creek being
thus cut off, and the shallowness of the
water preventing his concealing himself, a
rope was procured, and as he lay near the
shore, a moose passed over his head. He
did not attempt to escape until he felt the
rope around his neck, when his exertions
became violent. When partially exhaust

AsrRoLoGY Tiberius, when he was at
Rhodes, wished to satisfy his curiosity with
respect 10 the judicial. He sent for, in sue
cession, all those who pretended to fortel
future events, and received them upon the
terrace of his house, which was built upon
the rocks close to the sea. One of his en-
iranchised slaves, of muscular height and
extraordinary strength, conducted them to
him through the intricacies of the preci
pieces. If Tiberius discovered that the
astrologer was cheat, the slave alluded to,
immediately upou given signal cast him
into the sea. At that time there was at
Rhodes certain man nameds Trasullus,
who was deeply skilled in astrology, and
ef cunning disposition. He was taken,
in the same manner as the others, to this
retired spot, assured Tiberius that he
should be emperor, and revealed to him
many other events that should take place.
Tiberius asked him if he knew his own
destiny, and if he had consulted his own
horoscope. Trasullus, who had some sus-
picions when he did not see any of his COM
panions return, and who felt his fears IN
crease on viewing the countenance OF Tie

did not quit him for moment,) the eleva-

pice which lay beneath him-turned his
eyes up to HEAVIER. as if he intended to

was menaced with death TibeTius was

spirits of Trasullus, embraced him,a from
