SILK. Incredibly as to the possibility
of raising silk in this country, must, we
should think, give way, if facts have any
force. 1t has long been contendcd by gem
tlemen who have investigated the matter,
that silk might be as easily raised here, and
Of as good quality, as any where in Europe.
Every experiment, judiciously conducted,
has proved the truth of this conviction.
We have now almost before our eyes while
we write, another demonstration of the
practicability Of the silk culture in our eli
mate. DIR, Deane, of this village, has in
the course OF rearing about 10000 silk
worms. This we believe is the first at
tempt in this .own. Some of his, broodhave
spun their cocoons, part of which have
been reeled and made into very beautiful
raw silk. The reeling was performed on
common reel, by young gentleman, as a
temporary amusement. We advise all who
are curious in the matters, to call at the
Doctors. They will probably see speci-
mems of the business from half to fall grown
worms feeding, and winding cocoons
ready made, and the raw silk procured from
those that have been rceled.
There can be no doubt that the silk busi-
ness is profitable one when properly man
aged. In the first place it is entitled TO a
bounty of ten cents pound on cocoons.
and dollar pound for reeed or raw silk,
which is about equivalent to two dollars
pound, where one person raises and reels
the cocoons: and this will just about pay
the expenses attending it. The market
price Is about five dollars pond, which will
be mostly clear profit. What better busi-
ness than this can IL man find?--,GreeaGeM
Mercury.

Mn. EDrroR:-Will you call the atten-
ton of the tax payers of Lucas county TO
the enormous tax levied for county pnrpo-
ses the present year. For county purpo-
ses did say? Rather, | should say for the
purpose of redeemng the county orders,
which the Toledo office holders have re-
cciyed and bought at discount. Take up
the account for The last year as rendered by
the Auditor, and you will see how the off
ciols at Toledo are grinding the county.
But our ropacious Auditor will be satisfied
nothing short of the redemption of all
his county orders this year, no matter how
burdensome the taxes to the people: and
unfol tunately he has obtained the sanction
Of majority of the Commissioners to ac-
complish his purpose. A county govern
ment such as ours, and SO administered, is
curse-for it grinds with taxes, anu its
benefit who can see!

Great Western steamboat, was burned at
the wharf of Messrs Gillet and Desnoyers
in Detroit on Sunday evening last. The
particulars so far as they have been learned
are as follows. The Western had just re-
turned from Chicago, and was on her way
to Buffalo, with large number Of passcn-
gers. While laying at the wharf at Detroit
she was discovered to be on fire near her
boilers. The flame communicated itself
to about fifty cords of wood in the fire
room, md the heat soon became so intense
as to render all efforts to save the cabins
and upper works of the boat unavailable.
The extent orthe injury to the hull and en-
CINE is not known. 1t is stated that many
of the passengers on beard, lost their bag
gage, and that even the books iii the Office
were not saved. The cause of the disaster
was, without doubt, a defect in the arrange
ment Of the boat. A large boat, with the
hold full of high pressure boilers Is more
unsafe affair than people generally imagine.
With large boilers below deck, fire and the
timbcrs of vessels ure brought in too close
proximity to be exactly safe. The Wash
ineton of Ashtabula was a case in point,
and we hope the Great Western will prove
such an one as shall from this time forth
entirely discourage the building of large
high pressure boats, with their boilers un-
der the deck.
We learn by a later account, that the
loss is estimated at twenty-five thousand
dollars.

The Toledo gentlemen who attended the
Conventions at Flpdley, and who retired
from both on the failure orther several mo-
tions to exclude the delegates from the
other parts of the county, have published in
the Toledo Blade, u long manifesto expla-
natory of the course they pursued on the oc-
casion referred to. This is all well enough,
and the good temper, if not the fairness Of
the publication is evidence that there is
some decency, if not much honesty left in
Toledo-that is to say, when the people are
all at home. These gentlemen, ms it is
well known, have deemed ii for their inter
est to take different view of those procce-
dmgs which resulted in the appointment Of
two setts of delegates for this county, from
that taken by the delegates from tins and
the other townships. And their course was
perfectly consistent with the views which
they professed to have adopted. They ac
ted as nearly right as it was possible for

have no doubt but their fellow citizens, of
Toledo, will consider them as having dis
charged their commission with fidelity.
But there is one opinion expressed in the
document under consideration which we
cannot pass without remark. These To-
ledo gentlemen express u decided belief
that although the convention would not act
in their favor by expelling the members to
whom they were opposed, yet a majority of
the delegates were, in opinion, favorable to
the claims which they set up, considering
them of superior validity to those of the del
cgates from the others part of the county.
We think that the conclusion is rather non
scguitur to the facts; and moreover, we are
perfectly well assured, that after the gem
tlemen had made their dgnifed retiracy
from the convention, the feeling was so
strong against them that vote for their
expulsion could have been carried by ac-
camation with scarcely dissenting voice.

Mn. J. w. ScorT AND THE TOLEDO
BLADE.-The Toledo individual who has
earricatured the scriptures by turning his
Blade into "dung fork" and has equally
misrcpresented humanity by claiming to be
a man, has taken upon himself to abuse our
fellow citizen, Mr.. Scott, by, in the first
place charging him falsely, and in the rec
ond by calling HIM hard names on the
strength of the charges. This is some
thing like "tdking The sequence 10 provc he
consequence, and then turning round ard
prOving he latter by The .foymer," and
equally "absurd.' Mr.. Scott cannot of
course feel very much injured by anony-
nous lalsehoods, that appear IN a paper that
has not the name of Al responsible person
at its head; and we only appear in this mat
ter, to assure whom 1t may concern, that
a large part of the matttr in our paper at
trbuted to Mr.. Scott, was from our own
pen, and the responsibility is ours.
