Suk-We visited yesterday the silk establish ment of MT Duponceau and Mir Garoche, in Ches- nut street near Second, and were asonished at the vast number of worms which were feeding and spin ming One circumstance was mentioned to us, that
 is worthy of notice. Last summer, number of CO., coons were laid away in the supposition that the worm was killed; but in short time, the animal in its winged state worked it's way through them, and as they were near the north window they took their station in the sill of the window and on the out side
 here they laid their eggs. No further notice was
 taken of them until this spring, when, to the asto
 nishmsnt ofthe people about the building, these eggs that had been exposed to all the severity the win

Judge Gayle, one of the candidates for the office of Govarnor of this State, delivered an address to the citizens of Florence in the Court house on Tues day last The topics selected, the manner in which they were treated and the opinions of the Judge in relation to them, were JudciouSty adapted to the at tainment of his object--the oflce-the office On the whole were pleased with the speech. If any objection could be urged it would probably be this that "it was too c0a1ing to be candid" Where a public orator in the of one address attempts 10 "trim his sails to every breeze" we may give him credit for accommodating disposition, which |" car res hm with the crowd and the crowd with him;" but there is little to give him credit for that ble independence and purity of patriotism which would sacrifice self interest to promote the public good. We regret that Judge Gayle has seen fit 10 make eIectoneering tour through the State in or der to present his claims to popular suffrage The other candidates for the office plain farmers who rely for the general information in relation to them, of which the people already possessed Many are opposed to the practice of electioneerng in all cases If in any case objections are valid, it surely is where candidates for the highest office in the State set the xample.-FlOrence Gazeue

JOHN c. ADAMS, EX-President of the C. s. deli vered the Fourth of July Grafton at Quincy. The Boston Patriot, speaking of it. says it fully sustans the reputation of that accomplished statesman. The which produced the revolution and led to the Independence of our country, were descanted upon at some length, and several new and striking views of the subject were presented. The succeeding events of our political history then passed in view and their effects upon the destnies of Europe were briefly noticed. In commenting on our excel lent constitutional form of Government MT Adams adverted to the preensons of the nullifers, treating their doctrines with that mixture of satire and rid- cue which Is often as potent more sober argument The oraon occupied something more than an hour in the delivery, and was heard with attention by q crowded auditory"

We know not whether to laugh or to treat with that contemptit deserves, the following pucre, dog nautical and demagogueical paragraph ofthe Inquirer on the subject of the approaching elections. Brand ed as factionistsi" When, Mir Inquirer, were the people branded as factonists by us? When, where, and by whom, has every scheme that ingenuity could invent and all that defamation and detraction could Accomplish" been resorted to by Judge Gayes political opponents Surely the Editor of the Inqui- Ter has picked up one of his own papers, in which Mir Davis has been so vilely abused, and mistaken it an attack upon Judge Gayle:
 "The election of Governor too, is not without it's interests and importance. The certainty that Judge Gayle will be elected by very great majority, tends very much to lessen the interest felt in it. The peo pie, however, owe it to themselves to shew their strength on this occasion. They have been brand ed factioaiSt by neighborng print. Every scheme that ingenuity could invent, and all that defa- nation and detraclion could accomplish, havo been resorted to, by his political opposers. But as in the cases of Pickens Murphy and Moore, the people will prevail, and smile with contempt at those who have the efrontery to call them factioniSts and the man of their choice partizan."
 In another article the Inquirer says" It is anus ing to witness the cfrontery and prodigacy of the Ineligencerin in preferring the election of Capt Davis to that of Judge Gayle!" By which, we presume, he means that any one who dares to show opposition to his candidate, or the general course and complex ion of his paper, is prcfigate wretch. Iris pity the Editor of the Inquirer had not controlling pow CT equal to his ambition. We might then expect the establishment of an mquision to enforce his beauti-
 ul doctrines of democracy and thereby free the pre- sent generation from the evil machinatons of(what hc terms) aristocracy.

European Emigrants. New York Journal of Commerce contains the following information re- specting emigrants :-
 "The number of emigrants arrived at Quebec this season, up to the Sd inst was 19S74. A con siderable proportion of them, it is presumed will find their way to the United States If they repair directly to the new settlements instead of crowdng into our cities and towns, already over-suppled with that species of population we care not how many or how few of them take up their abode among us. It is estimated that the increase of population in the United States by means of emigranls is about 1000 week; while the natural increase is more than 1000 day The process of amagamation is rapid, and the name American speedily swallows up all other distinctions"

Extraordinary Occnrrence.--Mr Joshua Hemp. stead, respectable citizen ofths place, an acquant of ours has been so blind for ten years past as scarcely to discern the difference between day and night.-Being of an industrious habit, it was his habit to be led into the field to assist in hocing his corn and potatoes. A few weeks since, while at work, he placed as usual his staff in the center of hill corn as guide; when stopping with quick motion, the top of the staff struck his eyebrow violent blow, and glanced over the eye produc- ing severe pain. Immediately an intense light broke in upon the organ of sight ofevery color the rainbow; "a new heaven and new earth" were presented to his view, and he immediately hastened home alone, bearing the joyful tdings to his aston shed and happy family.

ltwonld seem that whenever the valiant Editor of the Inquirer calls to mind his exploits on the Plains of Marengo," he is strangely affected with a swim ming in the head which frequently renders his men, tai faculties confused that his lncubratons diff fcult to be understood.
