THE VILLAGE PRIZE.

In one Of the loveliest villages oldVirgin.
ia, there lived, in the year l775-an ode
and old man, whose daughter was declar.
ed, by universal consent, to be the lowell.
est maiden in all the country round
The veteran, in his youth, had been ath.
letic and muscular above all his fellows
and his breast, where he always wore
them, could show the adornment Of three
medals: received for his victories in gym
nastic feats when young man. His
daughter was now eighteen, and had
been sought in marriage by many suitors.
One brought wealth another a fine per-
son; another this, and another that.
But they were all refused by the Oldham,
who became at last by-word for his
obstinacy among the young men Of the
village and neighborhood.
At length, the nineteenth birthday of
Annette, his charming daughter,who was
as amiable and modest as she was beau
tiful, arrived. The morning of that day,
her father invited all the youth of the
country to "a haymaking frolic. Seven
teen, handsome and industrious young
men assembled. They came not only
to make hay, but also to make love to
the fair Annette. IN. three hours they
had filled the fathers barns with the new
ly dried grass, and their own hearts with
low Annette, by her fathers command,
had brought the malt liquor of her own
brewing which she presented to each
enamored swain with her own hands.
"Now my boys,n said the old keeper Of
the Jewel they all coveted, as leaning on
their pitch-forks, they assembled around

NATIVE II AMERICAN SILK WORM. .
Wew planjor The aoorms to aoind The cocoons
Mr.. EDIToR--Since the receipt o.
your paper Of Yesterday, | received the
Nantucket Inquirer of the 10th inst.
in which Mr.. jerks asks for further in
teligence in relation TO the silk worm
published in the Star Of the third instant
As the words, six different plants for
the worm to wind the cocoon" were
published verbatim as | expressed them
in conversation with you, the call seems
to require some explanation on my part.
| | will give it briefly thus: 1t is so ma
ny contrivances to accommodate the in
sect in its preparation for winding up"
or so many different contrivances on
which, (not round which) the larvae may
suspend and wind the cocoon. One Of
the plans may be described thus: nine
laths | Ia inch thick, Id inch wide,
and forty inches long, placed on edge
horizontal, parallel to each other, and
one inch apart in the clear; these are
connected by lath, Ia inches long,
placed on edge, horizontal, parallel to
each other, and one inch apart in the
clear; these are connected by lath, Ia
inches long, fastened across the ends;
the whole forming a CRATE of 8 bars IL
IA by 40 inches. Five of these CRATES
placed parallel and above each other,
3-4inch apart in the clear, connected BY
a single nailat each corner, with lath
0 IA inches long, standing vertically on
end, forms one plan, which is probably
the best ofthe six, and in the opinion Of
some good judges is superior to all 9th
er plans (not excepting the European
plan Of bushes and branches Of trees) for
economy, both in the space which it oc-
cupies to accommodate an equal number
Of worms, and the expense Of ccostruc-
tion. The forty-six lath required for
its construction are worth 8 cents and
can be made with the labor Of an hour,
worth I2 cents-tnaking in all 1s cents.
The worms wind the cocoons between
the bars and between the CRATES, when
by removing the four vertical lath at the
corners, the cocoon can be cleared out
in few minutes, certainly in less time,
and in better condition, than the same
number can be removed from among
bushes and trees. 49, a ri

A GOOD JoKE.-A grocer of New

the whole batch of suspended banks, and
commenced paper issue to his customers
in the usual form, found his shin-plasters
returned upon him in such quantities,
that on counting over his "money," in
order to. see how much he still had In
circulation, he found that he had already
redeemed about 800 dollars more tsan
he had ever issued! The best Of the
joke is that the counterfeits are so well
executed, that he cannot for the life III
him distinguish them from the genuino
issues. sf
