THE MINERS’ AND FARMERS’ JOURNAL. P»OM TIIS AMERICAN FARMElt. A market for Cocoon*.—The Editor of the American Fanner is authorised lo say that anv quantity of cocoons will l>e pur chased the ensuing seastm, by a gentl;iiian who is preparing to erect a Jilalure in Hal-1 tiinore. From forty » tifty cents a |x'Uiid will he given fur them, according to quali ty. Particular care should be taken in kill ing the crysalis, that the fibre of the co coons be not injui-ed by heat, and that all the crysalis be certainly killed. It the co coons be put into a tin vessel, the cover clo- »e.l perfectly, and tin; vessel 1* placed in ii kettle of lx)iling water for half un htmr, the crysalis will be all killed and the cocoons receive no injury from too high a heat, as the water wiil prevent the teaqicraturc ris ing above the boiling point. We have thought it proper to give this notice, that those who have l)cen deterred from raising silkworms by the abscnrc of a market for cocoons, might be induced to comirxnce. At forty cents a pound, co- coMi3 will be a very profitable article. One person with a boy to assist during the last ten days, can attend to one hundred thou sand worms; which, if well atfewled to,— kept clean and well fol with white niulberrv' leaves, w ill pro*luce 300 pounds of cocoons, which wdl bring at the minimuin pricc, $rJO; and if really first quality, which they w ill be by proper attention, they will bring S^lOO,—and the time occupied will not bo over six weeks. hat more profitable em ployment can females pursue? The gentle man will give notice in a future advertise ment Ilf thf place at winch the cocoons w ill be (HirchaseJ. In the nu'an time, the Ed itor will take pleasure in giving all neces sary information on the subject. All let ters must be jH«t paid. The correspondent of the London !Mom- in; Post, writes from Paris under date of Feb. 9, as follows: “ It is surmised that the ancient Arch bishop of .Maines (the Abl>e do Pradt) is anxious to take part in public alKiirs, from which the restoration of the Bourbons so Ion;: ein luded him. A friend of mine met an.l had some gossip with the Abl>e, a day or two since. ‘ Sir,’ said the latter, ‘ there are two Powers in Eun»pe which desire war; the rest are anxious for nothing more forvontly, than pence. First, Russia longs for war—the whole of Russia. She pres ses against civilized Eurc-pe with all tht weight of her mass on the one side. On the ttther side, we have four millions in France w ho pant for war—four millions of restless and ambitious men. We have also, the remainder of the popu'.aticm, the indus trious population, that prajs for continued poace. Let us hor- that tha 28 invlliona may prove too^Ji»«»5rW thw'nmwriiv ^ the four.’ The Abbe is, therefore, peaccftil in his conversation, if not in his counsels, (len. Bernard, the celebrated en^neer of- fi'jer, is just arrived from the'U. Slates, where he iias Iteen a resident since the ab- liication of Nap-fleon, one of whose favorite officers he was. It is supposed by some that he was sent fijr by this Government; his talfii.ts l>eing deemed indispensable for the exte.T-'inn and rcjair of the fi>rtifications of the frontier fortresses; and not improlw bly with a view to active s»;rvice in cat^e of a war. I dinod in company with this dis- tiiiguished oflicer, at a friend’s house a few da\ s since, and found him a man of great information and extraordinarv’ simplicity of manners. He gp»aks English fluently, from his long abode and active scrvicc in the I'nitcd States, where he has rank in the army, anl has been employed for many vears in superintending and planning de fences for the princijial towns awl points v.pon the whole of the seaboard, which report states to lie impregnable to all attacks. One may still trace the ardent officer of KapiWin in the sparkling eye of the veteran when war is talked about, though all his wislies are for peace.” Something Rf markable.—There is a man i;i this county who is now between fifty and tiixty years of age, has alwaya tilled the eartli for his su(>port; yet nerer in hi* life owned one fijot of land or a bouse, fie is reinarkable fi^r his indu-stry and economy, although was rierer known to have over fifteen or twenty dollari in cash at one time ; vet hi« credit in gocxi wherever he is known. Often times with not a cent in his pocket, and not five dollars worth of property, in cluding even hii> clothes, he has b^a heard to dfeflare, that he “ would give five hun dred dollars, to have the feelings of a poor man half an hcmr.” The only property he has in the world is an axe, a lioe and plou;h ; he - ays he kee}>8 a schedule of it abfjut him, and when he dies, he is determined lo die his own executor.—Athens (On.)
