MAssILLoN.-The editor Of the Massil-
lon, Ohio Gazette is Of the opinion that that
place will certainly take the head in bust
ness and regulate all the other places in its
vicinity. He states that more wheat is
purchased from wagons there, than any
other place in the United States. Eigh,
thousand bushels were purchased in one
day at an unusual season for selling. He
says furthcr:-
The gross amount af flour cleared OF this
Collectors Office during the last year, was
forty thousand nine hundred and twenty
one barrels, which was equal 10 204,605
bushels Of Wheat. And of wheat there
was cleared at this place eight hundred and
forty-four thousand, five hundred and
sovcnty-two bushels; making an amount
equal to one million, forty-nine thousand,
one hundred and seventy-sevcn bushels, of
wheat; and this amount annually incrcas-
ing with the rapid strides making in agri-
culture by our Industrious farmers.-Thcre
has been paid out for Wheat and Flour alone
$50, 900 week.

A Washington Correspondent of the N.
York Herald says that the following facts
are soon to be LAID before our government
for its action:
His holiness the Pope of Rome, in tho
exercise of his Apostolic function, called
the Bishop of Detroit, (Michigan) to ap-
pear before him in the year 1888 or 90
The latter in obedience to the divine man
date repaired at Rome. 1t appears no was
thrust into prison in the holy inquisltion,
and urged to resign his Apostolic function
Of pastor Of tho diocese Of Detroit. He
refused, and continues to languiSh in tie
dungeon Of the Holy hquisHion, cut of
from all communication aoith his country
and friends. This will be officially COM
municatcd to the department of State to-
morrow by a Catholic priest, who says our
worthy feIIow-ctizen is suffering this pro-
longed incarceration owing 10 certain Gu
lumnies Of his colleagues in the United
States, who have been accessory TO bis
Imprisonment, and havo known tho fnct
ever since its consumation, but have care
fully kept ii a secret from the laity in this
country, md especially from the flock Of

REASONS FOR MAKING SILK.

The Adams County pa. Silk Society,
oticrthc following reasons why they should
cultivate silk:
l. Because it has been proven by the
experience OF many, that the soil and eli
mate OF this country are we'll ADAPTED and
that the crop Is as certain as any other.
:. Because II can be produced by the
ordinary members of the family, 10 the va
lue OF seven hundred dollars. Mr. Hcer.
plain German farmer Of Lancaster couh-
~ with the aid of one Of his farm hands,
made this season about $270 worth Of silk,
exclusive of state bounty.
3. Because one pound Of silk will sell
for as much as a barrel of flour, and can
be moro easily produced.
T. Because 1t requires one-fourth Of an
acre to produce a barrel of flour, whilst
the same amount of land will produce IL
pounds OF silk, as proven by the Rev. ID.
W. McLean, Of New Jersey, and many
others.
3. Because one pound of silk, worth So
can be taken TO market AT as little expense
as pound OF flour worth four cents.
6. Because the labor Of producing silk,
is performed in six weeks, W hist any 9th
er article OF produce requires six months
7. Because it will add much to tho wealth
of the country, without any material ad-
dltlonal cost, since most of the labor can
be performed by children and infrm per-
sons.
8. Because it is encouraged in this coun-
try by State bounties, whilst in European
and As!atic silk growing countries, tax
oil S3 per pound has been paid by the pro-
duccrs.
9. Because the Chinese mulberry, mo-
rus multicauls, can be propaga,ed more
speedily, and at less cost, than any other
tree in tho country, the leaves of which
may be used for worm feeding in two
months after tho bud is planted.
10. Because our importations Of foreign
silk already amount to $40, 900, 900 annu-
ally.
IL. Because there are hundreds Of silk
factories in operation in our country, at
which they arc anxious TO purchase all the
raw silk that can be made, being at pre-
sent forced to impor; raw silk to keep
them employed.

From the Report Of the School Com of Portland.
SINGING IN COMMON SCHOOLS,


Vocal Music which has been introduced
by way OF experiment into some Of the
schools tho preceding year, has, fer the
past, been regular exercise in nearly all
OF them; and the committee are now pre-
pared TO give their decided testimony to
the benefits nccruing from it, They have
been watchlul to observe It's influence on
the scholars, that they might give an intel
ilgont opinion as 20 the expediency Of con-
cation. They are satisfied, beyond all
question, that it would not only be iniudi-
clous, but bad conomy-indeed q severe
caamity-to dispense with it. They re-
gard the small appropriation made for in
struction IN music, as a most profitable ex-
penditure. There is an attraction in the
music, which attaches children 10 the
school, makes them mere constant in their
attendance, and more punctual TO tho hour.
So far from impeding theirprogress in 9TH
er branches, it greatly aids it. The assi-
tudc brought on by sitting long in one po-
sltIon, or by porting listIessly over books,
or by inhaling an atmosphere, the vital
qualities Of which the respiration Of some
one or two hundred children has partially
exhausted; is driven away at once by a
lively patriotic song, and the mind, its
energies stored, leturns with fresh vigor
to It's task. Often have the committee
witnessed, and themselves participated in,
this effect, in their visits to the schools
1t is like tho shadow Of death turned in
TO morning" AS source and means of
enjoyment, it cannot be too highly appre-
ciated. They knew no way in which the
same amount Of money could be made 10
purchase SO much amount Of good for
our children. OF course IFS influence must
be great in umolioratng their bad tempers;
and consequently, invaluable as q means
of moral education. 1t supplants and ba-
nishes from use, and eventually from me-
mory. those wanton, profane and corrupt
ing dtties, which are "caught" in the
stroots and thoroughfares; and furnishes
heathful and useful amusement for the
nursery and the sitting ROOM Families
whose children are connected with our
public schools, begin to speak Of somo
Of these benefits as already realized. Fur
Their, music is much better learned in the
day school, than in the schools established
for the sole purpose Of teaching it. Tho
elements learned at ono lesson are not for
gotten, and the skill acquired by practice
is not lost, by tho Intervention of long
season before another is attempted; tho
voice is not exercised to hoarsoncss, nor
the lungs to dangerous exhaustion.

advantages Of Scicnce.-,Mr. Holbrook
Of Midway, the celebrated bell founder,
who has put up clock upon tho Baptis,
Church in this town on the present week,
goyo us ittlo incident Of his life, which
is worth relating, if nothing moro than to
show the importance Of n knowledge OF
chemistry. An immense pile Of cinders
and dross had accumulated near his foun-
derry, which was supposed to be entirely
worthless, and was used to fill up stone
walls, sc. A foreigner who happened TO
be in town. examined the pile ono day,
and offered 800 for it. So large price
excited Mr.. HIS suspicious, that the Gin
dcrs might contain valuable metal, and he
declined selling it. The man then offered
him $500, which Of course confirmed his
opinion, and after little parley, the stran-
ger acknowledged that he was acquainted
with q process by which valuable metal
might be extracted from the cinders, which
he offered to divulge for small compen-
sation. 4 furnace and apparatus were
constructed according to his direction, and
when the whole pile was run through, the
mass Of neglected rubbish yielded nett
profit OF thirteen thousand dollars. So
much for knowing how to do il.
