of worms have hatehed aud the first ones finished
their eoeoons These coeoous are Of beautiful vel
low. but rather small ia size In about two weeks
from now I shall have fresh eggs of this variety
which viii hatch next year. when the worms will
/ probably prove to grow considerably larger
] OF thu variety No. 5, few worms have patched a
few day. ago; Of No. 2, not worm has come out as
ye;.
As soon as I get more eOeoous I will sepd you
samples Of all varieties. Although the japanese
worms make very much smaller and lighter cocoon,
they seem to make up for it in being much handler
and coming 70 perfection sooner; they also spin i'm
mediately amer having done growing aud feeding
which the othervarieties do not sometimes running
about for day, or even two, which is very trouble
I some indeed.

ties are getting on as soon as have myself aseer-

that the Rev. J. Il. Mahoe was badly shot, on the
Goth Of March 1852 at Apaiang. Of the Gilbert
Group. It appears from our information that the
rebel party as it Is called has driven out the Chris
tan PARTY from the Island; the Chief who bad pro-
fessed Christianity, aud bis friends, had been COM
PEELED TO 90 to another Island, thus leaving the
Island in possession Of the Anti-Christisn party.

to coucilate them, and do what good be could On
the morning above mentioned, a large and tumultu-
Gus party gathered around his house, and two
natives, by name Of Tiugetap and Teuaught, fired
upon him, ball entering his right breast and
coming at his shoulder quite disabling his arm.
His wife Immediately sought the protection of
foreigner who was there, whose name is understood
to be Randolph. This foreigner took them into his
house, and gave them protection, and they subse-
quenily left for another Island The property of
the Mission, as We understand. has been broken up
and scattered about the Island including the house
