New York is to-day reeeiving over three
fourths of the tota imports of the country, and
more than half of all the exports shipped
from this port aloue. The direct interest of the
whole country in this Investigation and its results
is thus clearly demonstrated. Tho canal interest
of the State of New York has deep concern in
this matter. A larger sum Of money is annually
wasted ia demurrages caused by imperfect wharf
accommodations il this city. In truth, there is
not an interest throughout our entire State which

In the season Of 1864, Mr.. John Gould, Of
Wenham, had five hives Of Italian bees (;
four Of them stored seventy pounds or sur
plus honey each, the other stored 80 pounds
of surplus honey, besides throwing of two
large swarms: the first swarm filed a Lang
strOth hive with new comb and honey,
besides storing Is pounds Of surplus honey,
the second swarm required a little feed
ing the next spring. Last season was a
very poor honey season here in Essex cOun-
~, but the Italian bees did nearly as We'll
as they did in the season Of 1864, the com
mon bees did not store much surplus honey
Mr.. ID. Clark Batchelder, OF Newburyport,
Mass, bought hive Of common bees in
April last, which had an Italian queen
given them on the 9th day OF that month.
and in two months not black bee remained
there, and that hive stored last season more
than eighty pounds Of honey, beyond their
winter supply. A hive Of common bees
sitting On the same stand, stored only -
pounds. / introduced an Italian queen
into a hive Of common bees fora gentleman
in the town Of Essex, Mass, in July Of 1864.
and in the month Of October he took from
them 20 pounds oil surplus honey, while his
common bees, sitting on the same stand.
did not store an ounce. Last season put
two good swarms OF common bees into an
empty LangstrOth hive, and on the same
day put one good swarm Of Italian bees
into another empty LangstrOth hive: the

The Wool Crop of Michigan.

In the year 1865, Michigan produced ii
million pounds OF wool, and tins from the
Southern hall Ofthe lower peninsula. When
we contemplate the magnitude Of the ma
tiOnal debt, or even that our own state.
and when we are called upon by the tax
gatherer, we are apt TO feelpOOr, very poor
On the other hand, when we consider the
aggregate wealth of the country asricul-
tural, manufacturing, commercial and min
ing, we are wont TO grow cOmplacent aud
boastful over the magnitude and variety Of
our resources, which, in fact ii fully deve-
oped, would eclipse those OF any country
on the globe, under one government. The
annual wool crop Of Michigan, alone, would
at last years prices, wipe out our State
debt in a single year, pay all our local tax
es for the year, and leave margin ofab0ut
