 | Reader, did you ever see an ant-hill crush ed by a cart wheel and did you notice the great variety of painfully interesting circum- stances which attended the operation? If your answer be affirmative, then are you the proper person to form correct opinions ofthe present condition of our country, and of the various situations of its citizens. A year or two ago, all were busy as ants; each one se- cure and happy in his cell, and engaged at his occupation; all harmon;ously building up the common mound multiplying its re- sources and inhabitants, and providing abun- dant supplies for wet days and winter But drunken Folly, driving tandem, and not knowing how to handle the lines, run his gig wheel directly oyer US. Our grand mound, the result of so much toll and effort, has been wickedly invaded the whole establishment convulsed and disorganized i; its resources wasted; its constitution half destroyed; its departments broken up; the whole economy deranged /; order turned to confusion, and the once happy tenants "of the mound" lie man. gled in their cells, with nothing but shin plas- ters to heal their bruises.-Sunday Neos.
 Vei1s US. Pretty F'aces.-A couple of ladies, not long since, discussing the prices and quail ities of different kinds of veils, when one re- cost t,oenty dollars, to which young woman of the company replied:
 My face is too handsome to need a veil worth twenty dollars to conceal it!''
 The response was so we'll suited to the oc- casion, and so just withal, that we have ven- tured to Chronicle it, hoping it may console many who possess pretty faces, but lack the means to veil them in so costly a manner as the fashion ofthe day seems to demand.
 Wool-This is the month in which it is usual for the farmers to bring their wool to market, or rather in which the manufacturers and dealers have been accustomed to SCOUT the country, post haste, grasping every thing upon which they can lay their hands. The sheep have probably yielded their fleeces as usual, but as to buying there is dead and universal silence. No one goes to the wool, and the wool which is brought to market, finds no buyers. Some barter trades might be made for goods at the prices of last year, on both sides, but for cash, we should think 20 to 37 cents would cover the whole range of prices for native wool, and even at such prices, or at any prices at all, we hear ot no buyers. Wool however, will be again want ed, and at no distant day. In the mean time, there are no men so we'll able to hold it as our farmers and especially the wool growers, than whom more independent class of men do not walk the earth.-Jour. cf Com.
 Ne,o Process for Winding SiM.-,se,o siM 'corm-sik aoorm gut.-Mr. Durant at Jersey city, is making extensive experiments in win ding silk from worms of his own rearing.- He has six different plans for the worm to wind the cocoon. Dr. D. has likewise dis covered native silk worm of our forest, whose cocoon is 50 to 30 per cent. heavier than that of the Asiatic. Its silent la bors are often encountered in the solitary depths of the forests, on bushes and trees, chiefly the elder, but like many other of natures works pre- pared to our hand they have passed by un- needed. MT. D. hopes to domesticate this worm, and direct their habits to the purposes of useful industry. One of the great advan- tages resulting from this, would be that very superior quality of the silk worm gut, so much used by amateur fishermen, and which this worm furnishes 80 per cent. heavier and stronger than those hitherto in use. This giutlnous matter is known to be the most te- nacious substance of any thing we are ac- quanted with, spun out of the same fineness. m 1act' this of Mir. D.'s, though not thicker than two horse hairs braided, and therefore scarcely perceptible 10 the fish, in which de- ceptlon consists its value, is enabled to raise weight ot 100 lbs. and consequently with ease hold powerful shark, for example, of 40 lbs. struggling with all his additional mus. s. cular force to escape. To give an idea of this article, we may mention that sagacious flshermen pay for one selected from the A. slatlc worms, from l2 1-2 to g cents. and there are thousands in the market of an in. terlor description, because they are from small worm, and which may be purchased for one cent apiece.-N. r., Star. 4..
