We are happy to learn that an enterprise
of the nature spoken of in the following COM
munication has found favor in the eyes Of our
citizens, and we have no doubt but the un-
dertakng is in competent hands, and will be
prosecuted judiciously. More sowing, more
hoeing, more ploughing, and more moving,
is what we want, and he who makes two
spears of grass grow in the place where but
one grew before, is to some extent public
benefactor.
How much more so then is he who would
strive to elevate the standard Of mans noblest
employment, and 70 awaken u spirit of pride
and emulation in its pursuit.
Mr.. EDIroR.--Sir, your paper of the Cd
inst. you complain that while associations
and companies for the growth of the muber-
ry, and the manufacture of silks are fast form
ing in all parts of the United States, it is a
subject of regret that no enterprise Of that
kind has occupied the attention of the people
in this immediate vicinity.
"That large portion of the land around us
is admirably fitted for the growth of the null
berry, is fully proved by the large quantities
of the trees now growing indigenously on our
new lands"
My object in writing you is to correct this
error, and to inform you that a company has
been formed of the above kind, that an expe-
rienced Gardner and Horticulturalist has been
obtained to superintend the same, that choice
piece of land has been selected, and that a
quantity of "Morus Multculus," and other
choice roots and shrubDery have been obtain
ed from the east, and are now fourshing, and
under 'ssuccessfu experiment"
That sufficient quantity of the Italian
Mulberry seed has been planted this Spring to
produce, with reasonable success, two hundred
thousand trees.
That an extensive and well selected assort-
ment of Bulbous roots and ornamental flowers
have been planted, that great variety of fruit
trees of the choicest kinds will be added to
the list; vegetable garden is also included,
of sufficient size to supply our city daily,
and seed store will in due time be connected
with the establishment.

NovEL SurT.--A suit Of rather novel
character in this country was tried in the
Court of Common Pleas for this county on
Tuesday Of this week. The Plaintiff Mr..
Young Of Brecksville, in this county, brought
a suit against a school teacher in that township,
for injury done to his children in not permit
ting them to read Volney's Ruins,D as rea-
ding book in school. 1t appeared that the de-
fendant used for that purpose, the Testament
and American Class Reader, but nothiag
would suit the Plaintiff, but that his children
must read in 4" Volney's Ruins" and no other
book. AS for their reading in that vile thing
called the "Bible," that could not be allowed
at any rate The teacher put himself upon
his reserved rights, and refused to have the
book read in the school, which so incensed the
father, that he proceeded to the school-house,
and, in defiance of the injunctions of the
teacher, ordered his children to commence rea-
ding forthwith from the " Ruins" and that too
while another class was reading. The teach
er, however, remained firm in his purpose, and
the plaintiff failing in his object, commenced
suit against him for the damages done his chill
dren by the denying them the unspeakable pri-
vilege ofreading "Volney's Ruins, in school.
We are much grati6ed to be able to state
that the Jury promptly returned a verdict for
the defendant. Long may it be before Jury
shall be found any where in this happy land
to return verdict for plaintiff in such case
as this.--Ohio City Argus.

INsKCTIvoRoUs BIRDs.-These are to the far
mer and the gardner of great value. They
were designed by the Creator to check the too
great increase of insects, and no farmer ought
to suffer them to be wantonly destroyed on his
premises. The number of insects destroyed
by the robin, swallow, sparrow, mock. bird, and
other small birds, is astonishing. One little
family will destroy several hundred in single
day. Some little time since pair of small
birds built nest on a lilac, which grew close
to one of my windows. In the time of incu-
baton there was long and severe storm, and
strong wind. The eggs were in danger of be-
ing blown overheard by the writhlng of the
bush. Conscious of this, the female kept on
the bush to prevent any accident which might
follow on her leaving it, to collect food. Her
mate, like good provider, was busily engaged
during the day in collecting food, (insects)
which he carried to his companion, and which
she received of him with apparent affection.
This circumstance excited particular attention,
and of course this little society was closely oh
served. In short time the eggs Matched, but
the roughness of the weather, or the tender
ness of the brood, prevented the female from
leaving her young. During this time, the
male, with surprising industry, brought small
insects III tne ldrVa StaIe 70 tne nest, QUE was
not allowed to feed the nestlings. The female
received the food and divided it among her lit
tie charge. When the young gained sufficient
strength, the male was permitted to feed them,
and from this time both parents wero mutually
and necessarily employed in collecting small
insects from every quarter, and on moderate
calculation, to the number of about 700 In a
day.
One cause of the increase ofmany insects so
destructive to vegetation is the decrease of
these little friends to the agriculturists.-
Should few Of them innocently trespass on
the farmer, to the amount ofa few cents, let
him remember that he is greatly indebted to
them for service rotdered, and not to wage a
war Of determination.
They are not merely useful in destroying in
sects---for they call the faYner and the gardner

The fleecy clouds above. A little group stood
in the centre of the camp, and among them
stood the murderer. His step was firm, and
his lip curled as in scorn of death. An aged
chieftan addressed him, informing him of his
sentence and requesting him to prepare for its
immediate execution. He signifed his readi-
ness to die. He had no exploits to weave into
a scng of death, for his tribe had long been
broken down and opposed. The wild bear and
the buffalo had long fled from their old haunts
around him, and his deeds in hunting had
amounted only to gaining sustenance. He
was to die the death of felon, and although
he had killed his enemy he could not exult.
He knelt upon the sword, and with unfinching
eye and firm lips, met the blow of the knife of
the executioner, and in an instant was in eter-
nifty.
arrived at the village about two hours af-
terwards. The rival chiefs were clothed in the
habiliments of the dead, and the mingled friends
of both were pouring there tears over these re-
mains. Side by side, in death, lay the mortal
enemies, and the same blanket of skins served
them Doth for covering. They slept in the
bosom af the land Of their fathers, now desert
ed and forlorn, and the same little green
mound, covers the remains of both the rival
chiefs.

YES! TAKE THE PAPERS.

BY GEO. B. WALLIS,
Oh yes, take the papers
Their trifing cost is never missed,
Although I've stood for forty years
Upon the printers list.
Talk not of warrior's-Faust released
Earth from the terrors of her kings
He twirled his Stick and Darkness ceased,
And morning streamed along the East,
On Freedoms FURNISHED wings.
Dyes, take the papers,
And sons and daughters--tall and small
For they have been, through thick and thin
The pastime Of us all.
Twas nobly said that should star,
Be stricken from the dome of Night,
A printing press-If stationed there
Would fill the vacuum to hair,
And shed a broader light.
That man who takes no papers,
Or taking, pays not when they'er read,
Would sell his corn to buy "horn,"
And live on borrowed bread.
The printer opes the wide domains
OF Science-scatters Education
All DER the land, like April rains:
And yet his labors and his pains
Are half his compensation.
