heal it must continue to bleed as long as his
memory (Which nothing can obiterate) is
fresh in the recollection of his family. His
godsy walk in the Presbyterian church, Of
which he was devoted member for years,
exhibited bright example worthy the i'nita-'
ton of all, but which few reach, he was
correc; and consistent but not bigoted. lie
was liberal but not licIntious. Nor is his
country loss less than that OF his family or his
church. He was not only father and

months and II days. He left a fond wife, and
several children and grand children 10 mourn
their loss.
The deceased was born in Grsyabbey, Coun.
ty Down, ireland, on the 18th Of January 1753,
and emigrated to this country in 1874. For
% years, he filled the Office of Clerk of the
Court OF Common Pleas, and General Sessions.
He was distinguished for stern integrity, de-
cision OF character, and Grmness of purpose.
Prompted by lively sense ofjustice, he pur.
sued what was right, regardless ofthe ephemeral
opinions Of the croud, and the popular delusions
of the day. A chasm is made in society by his
death His friends cannot now, as heretofore,
enjoy his cheerful conversation, interspersed
with chaste and instructive anecdotes, which,
while they delighted, so well illustrated the
lessons of wisdom he taught. But his loss is
moro keenly felt by his weeping wife and af-
feclionate children and grand children. AS
husband he was unusually afectionate and ten.

the way they should 60. His last sickness
was protracted and his decline gradual. Sur

Let silk cultivators bear in mind, that the
careful and attentive manager of silk worms,
will make his worms spin cocoons in four
weeks; eight pounds Of his cocoons will make
a pound Of raw silk, and pound and a quarter
of his raw silk will make pound Of finished
sewing or other silk. The careless manager
will require at least six weeks before his worms
spin their cocoons, ten pounds at least Of his
cocoons will be required to make pound of
raw silk and at least pound and six ounces
Of his raw six will be required to make a

That the country IS intent upon making silk
as we'll as raising mulberry trees is proved
by the high price Of silkworm eggs. They
have been selling through the winter at from
$50 to $40 per ounce and as The feeding sea-
son, at the North, approaches the price seems
to rise. We see that, at Hatfield, Massachu.
setts, an ounce brought $50. Now from l0O
to l2O worms viii produce an ounce of eggs
aud three hands are sufficient 10 attend to
,300,O00, or l00, 700 to the hand which 100000
would lay from 500, II 90 ounces ofegss. The
price then it is evident bears no proportion
to the labor Of production. Nor is it owing to
any deficiency Of the stock on hand las, year.
The worms which were stifled in the cocoons
for the silk were much more than sufficient TO
supply the demand Of the present year, and at
a moderate cost. The high price is owing only
to the unexpected extension o: the silk cul.
.ure.

For the ChcraW Gazette.

Mr.. Edi.cr,
To answer your inquiry iuteili,gbly "What
quantity OF turnips can be raised IN our
climate on our light SOL" I must enter into
a calculation. the result of which, / am
confident will have the test OF experiment.
Let us suppose the land 10 be planted, has
been ploughed deep two or three times during
summer and well manur d, and measures
seventy yards square, which we will cal! an
acre. Let the ground be made into beds IS
inches apart, and the seed planted on those
beds, 10 inches apart and we shall have l40
rows, each row conta ming two hundred and
fifty two hills, now multiply l4O by 252, and
we have, supposing each bill to produce
a turnip, thirty five thousand two hundred
and eigh. turuips; which at30 to the bushel
would make one thousand one hundred and
seventy six bushels But let us make an
allowance of one fourth, for missing hills, and
other disasters, and we shall have twenty six
thousand four hundred and sixty turnips. or
eight hundred and eighty two bush, Is. This
statement may startle some Of your readers,
who perhaps have never thought much about
the matter; to any such, l would say make
the experiment fairly, and you do not make
eS2 bush. Is per acre, / will venture to assert,
that you will make more than you ever made
by any other mode of planting.
Turnips should be planted in this climate
between the 18th August and 10th Sept. and
receive two or three hoeings, which will add
greatly to their size The best species that
am acquainted with, are commonly called
Summer, and Winter Turnip; the former are
o fla, turnip and grow good deal above
q ound the latter grow be!ow the surface
and are longer from top to bottom than their
diameter, and keep well through winter.
Yours Respectfully,
