STATE CONSTITUTIONS.
MASSACHUSETTS.

The territory Of Massachusetts com.
prsed, for many years after its first settle
nent, two separate Colonies, styled the
Plymouth Colony and the Colony oi
Massachusetts Bay.
The first English settlement that WAS
made in New England, was formed by
lOI persons who fled from persecution in
England, landed at Plymouth on the 22d
of Dece mber, 1920, and laid the founda-
ton of Plymouth Colony.
The settlement OF the Colony of Mas
sachusetts Bay, was commenceda at Salem
in 1923. Boston was settled in 1880.
The two Colonies continued separate
and elected taeir own governors annually
ill 1885, when they were deprived OF
their charters, and were placed under the
government of Joseph Dudley, and alter
wal ds of Sir Edmund Andros. In 1899,
they were united into one colony under a
new charter and the governors were
afterwards appointed by the king.

SILK WORMS.

Mn. EDIToR. sm Induced % be-
Iieve from the increasing astentfon u tho
culture ofslk that the following expert
ment may bs interesting 10 some Of your
readers. If you think SO, do with it as
you see tit.
Doubts have been expressed whether in
our climate it were practicable to saise
two crops, that is, two generations, Of the
silk worm in the same summer, and one
ofthe peculiar merits attributed to the Mo-
rue multicaulis, or Chinese mulberry, has
been, that it enabled the cullivator to eff
lect this object in the climate OF Long ISL
and.
With the view Of ascertaining what
could be done with the common white
mulberry, l took in July last, soon after
they had wound, few cocoons OF four
different colors-pure white, tinged
with greenish buff, buff, and orange
The pure white were small, compact and
pointed, as those wound first generally
are; the millcrs which they produced were
all OF one sex, and no eggs were procured.
Eggs were obtained from each Of the 9TH
er varieties, but those from orange did
not hatch into worms sufficiently early and
were laid away for next spring. Those
almost white, and the buff, produced in
succession. eggs, worms, and cocoons,
and though fed entirely on white mulber-
ry, and though the season has been unu-
suaIly wet and cold, have produced a
crop Of cocoons in all respects equal to
those Of their parents. 1t is observable,
however, that those descended from but
cocoons were almost all buff, while those
which came from the balls almost ,Shite,
were Of ull the four colors. The fact as
certained, however, which l think Of most
Importance 10 that tSo crops may be raised
in one season from the common phite muI.
