sdaiction BY the Rev. Grand Chaplain, when the
procession retired from the church, observing
the order in which it had first set out. limo.
we'd down Charles to Market street-thence to
St Paul's Lane, and thence to the Hall. The
order OF entrance into the hall was the same as
that observed at the church, the Grand Lodge
taking precedence. The interesting ceremo-
mes of dedicating the edifce to the Grand Ar
chitecJ of the Universe, and to Masonry--to
Virtue and Science--to Universal Charity and
Beneyolence, then took place in solemn form.
After the conclusion of these the fraternity Sc
parated.
Thefavorable state of the weather, the eIe-
gance of the banners and decorations, and the
respectability Oft the unusually large number of
Masons who marched in procession, all tend
ed to promote thatimpressive character which
SO properly appertained to the solemn occasion.

From the Massachusetts Spy.

Mr.. MISUNDERSTANDING that an es-
senlal improvement might be made in
the breed Of swine in this vicinity, have
turned my attention to this object. have
bred from the frs, quality OF our native
stock; bur have found ihe produce va
Rant and uncertain in form, size, and
propensity; some improved, and others
deterioraled. have crossed with more
reputable breeds; but did not obtain that
feshy form and disposition TO fat!en upon
light Keeping, most valuable to farmers
who supply the market, and families who
supply themselves.
In 1920, | examined the pens of Mr..
John Reed, of Roxbury, who, by the
agency of Col. Pickering, had procured
a breed from Eng land. AS he was rais-
ing and fat,ening upon large establish
men', having, as estimated. Is tons pre-
pairing for market, had an opportunity
OF yiewlns, them in their various stages.
From their appearance and his account
OF them, was satisfied of their excel
lence, and obtained the kind. One OF
thelkind was exhibited at our last Cattle
Snow by Mr.. Gleason, who obtained the
frst premium.
It being suggested by the Committee
on Neat Stock, the last year, tina, the
breed might be improved by crossing
with a coarser kind, wrote to Mr.. Reed
on the subject, and received the follow
ing statement -" have often tried the
experiment OF crossing with coarser
breed Of hogs, and as often found my
hogs to degenerate; but when have
crossed with small-boned hogs, ii has
answered WELL My hogs are Of the
Bedford breed, SO called in England +;
and experience has proved, to my satis-
faction, that this breed is far the hes,
that has been introduced into our coun-
try. They are quiet in their nature, fat
easy, and with little expense or trouble.

grown; the consequence is that we ere
compelled 10 seek al distance mark CT
Tor the surplus productions of our soil.
The stagnation in trade, arising from the
want OF demand, which prevailed be-
tween the loss of the home market, and
the finding of a distant one, has been
sensibly felt. But the profits realized by
our citizens from the shipments down
the Mississippi, during the last season,
hold out flauering encouragement Tor the
future. Being situated in advance ofthe
States lying in the great valley of the
Ohio, and being contiguous TO better
navigable stream, Illinois has greatly the
advantage OF them i'll supplying the car
y markets OF the country bordering On
the lower Mississippi, and the West In
dia Islands. submit to the considera-
ton of the esislature how far facilities
and encouragement can be afforded to
cur citizens to avail Themselves OF ma
turc's great highway 10 the markets OF
The world.
The Agricultural Society Of the State
has made laudable efforts to advance the
great interests of agriculture and manu-
features F.; bu, its means are too limited

Whilst the Legislature has its atten-
ton drawn 10 tho consideration OF the
measures best calculated 10 develop
and bring into active operation he re-
sources Of he State, il will not, am

which would result from connecting by
