Price of Six. Worm Eggs.--We see an
advertisement, in the Fayetteville Observer,
bya man residing in Pitlsboro' N. c. Of.
iering sik-worm eggs at one dollar per
thousand, which is equal to $40 per ounce.
Tney sold at this price last spring in some
places at the northaand perhaps still higher
by the small quantity. But it was only be.
cause the extension of the silk culture
proved 10 be so much greater than had been
anticipated by those engaged n,he business
last year that the quauity ofeggs preserved
was not not sufficient to meet the demand.
The price VIII probably be high next year
again for we have no doubt that the de-
mund will be at least ten times, perhaps fif'
ty times, greater than it was last year ;
still we consider it probable that northern
cu,uris,s W Il preserve eggs enoughto meet
any demand likely 10 arise, and at much
lower rate than $40 per ounce. It would
be more profitable to preserve the cocoons
for eggs at So per ounce than to reel them
at Sc the pound for silk. One hand could
very easily rear worms enough TO produce
from l25 to $50 ounces ofeggs, supposing
only one half of the cocoons to be of sulta-
bic quality to be preserved for that purpose
and tho time required would not exceed
seven weeks. AtS4O per ounce l25 ounces
would bring $4,000; pretty good compen'
sation for z weeks labor Of ono hand. Six
worm eggs could very well be afforded
and will be sold in all parts of this country
in very few years, a. the rate OF 'eSs '''an
10 cents the thousand.

TEXAS AND MEXICO.

From a private letter from Vera Cruz,
saws the New Orleans Bee of May (3l,) we
learn that Col. Bee, the Texan Minister to
Mexico, has been allowed to take rooms in
the city of Vera Cruz, until the Government
de'ermine whether ne will he received or not,
in his official capacity. Col. Bee thinks he
will be able to effect a treaty.
This Information, the Bee says, Is from

Minis .er himself.

as to pu, all doubt. as to its truth and cor

though she ultimately recovered from her

About two weeks ago, without giving

ness and ease, as one, whose power of ut.

still more remarkable is. tha: she commenced

Dear Brother-The following account
of the conversion and death Of an aged
Catholic lady, written by her grandson,
has been furnished me for publication in
the Register; it is therefore forwarded TO
you for that purpose, should you think it
worth publishing. | am persuaded that
we make too little effort for the salvation
of this portion of the community, from the
belief that our attempts must generally be
unsuccessful. But few cases, perhaps,
can be found, where prejudice and super
stition exert greater control, and present
a more discouraging aspect than in that OF
this aged female. Our efforts must be pa
tieut and persevering. | had the priyi-
lege of hsptizing both the mother and
daug liter, and of being acquainted with
the mother until the time of her death :
and feel the fullest assurance of the genu
neness of her conversion. Praying tina
the number may be greatly multiplied wht
shall turn to the Lord from among tha
deluded people,

Dear Brethren,-As have written on
business, will you permit me to make a
few remarks in regard to the spiritual in
terests OF our Zion in. this place. Last
year we had the pleasure Of reporting an
accession to our communion, on probation,
and by certificate, of more than 100, a
majority of whom continue to ornament
the cause OF Christ, for which we have
great cause of JOY and gratitude to our
: Cod.
During the present year we have not
had the pleasure of Witnessing so many
conversions as during the past; but the
spiritual prosperity of church is not al
ways graduated by her numerical strength.
Every period of the history of Christiani-
ty, from the apostolic age down 10 the
present time, is sufficiently in proof of
this; sill. however. we rejoice in the as
surance that or 10 souls have recently
- passed from death unto life all of whom
still stand fast in the liberty wherewith
Christ hath made them free.'
The tone of piety in the church is evil
IDENTIFY rising our prayer meetings are
peculiarly spiritual and profitable, and,
what is matter of great thankfulness,
peace and harmony prevail throughout
the length and breadth of our borders
MAY Heaven continue to smile upon the
station, until the wilderness and the soli-
tary place shall be glad, and the desert
rejoice and blossom as the rose-

charge Of the Rev. John Hills, commenc- |
ed prolracted meeting few days since,
and in answer to the prayers Of the devot-
ed pastor and OF the church, God has open
ed the windows of heaven, and is now
pouring them out large and glorious
blessing. 1t was truly refreshing to my
poor heart, 10 hear many of the young
converts with whom had, not long be-
fore, shed the tear Of sympathy over de-
parted friends,) arise in the crowded as
sembly, and speak of the goodness OF God
and state their determination to follow
Christ. There was, at that time, suppos-
Z ed to be about one hundred conversions,
together with about fifty backsliders who
had been reclaimed since the commence
ment OF the meeting.
The meeting still continues, and the
place for divine worship is crowded TO
overlooking.
am happy to be able to state that
brother Parker, together with the Presby-
terrain church, have joined with brother
Hills and his church in the promotion Of
the God-like and glorious work.
