16. Gold in Maryland. — A letter just received from a corres- 

 pondent in Baltimore, informs us that gold has been recently found 

 in Maryland. It is known to exist in Virginia, and these localities, 

 with those of North Carolina, appear to form a straight line parallel 

 or nearly so, it is believed, with the Alleghany range. Quartz is 

 abundant in the region about that discovered in Maryland, as is the 

 case also in that of North Carolina. 



17. Culture of SilJc. — Dr. Felix Pascalis, has published "Prac- 

 tical Instructions for the culture of Silk and the Mulberry Tree," 

 Vol. I. ; to which is added, " The Natural History of the Silk Worm." 

 This work abounds with valuable and pleasing information, and can- 

 not fail to arrest the attention of all who are interested in the impor- 

 tant manufacture to which it refers. 



The 2d volume of the Practical Instructions is promised to appear 

 in October, and with it the 2d No. of a quarterly periodical work, 

 called the Silk Culturist, to be devoted, as its name implies, to the 

 promotion of that branch of industry.
