HAVING. For the last ten days the weather
has been delightful, without any rain, and we
believe it has been improved to good purpose,
by the farmers in hay-making. Grass, in most
places, is still growing rapidly, and the crop of
hay, although not SO large as in some years,
at is believed, from its excellence, will be worth
as much to spend as the average crops of other
years in this immediate vicinity it is thought
that it VIII be full an average crop in weight
but we understand that, as we go to the south of
this, it has been more sensibly affected by the
late drought.

The FOURTH OF July, it appears from the
papers, was wet, uncomfortable day through
out the country. This is said to be an uncom-
mon occurrence, and those who believe in
signs will probably see in it no favorable au-
gury for Gen. Jackson's administration The
editor of the New York Commercial Advertiser
says, however, that not being superstitious, he
does not believe that Gen. jackson has any
Thing to do with the weather. The Brooklyn
New York; Star relates an anecdote of poor
fellow at a booth near the park in New York,
who was sadly beaten by his companions for
having, during heavy shower, drunk as
toast success to the raining administration a."
Even his pun, it seems, could not save him.

UNITED STATES MINT. The corner stone
of an additional building, for the use of the
mint establishment about to be erected in Phil
adelplIia, was laid on the 4th inst with appro-
pirate ceremonies. The following paragraphs,
showing the amount of specie coined since the
establishment Of the mint, are extracted from
the scroll deposited under the stone:
"The operations of coinage commenced in
the year 1892. The coinage effected from that
period to the first Of January, 1929, was as fol-
lows:
Gold coins ;-i32 ,592 eagles; 1874, $50 half
eagles 39,239 quarter eagles-making $780,
1870 pieces of gold coin, amounting to $685.
Silver coins IL ,439,5 l7 dollars; Al ,GO4. SAY
half dollars; 1856, 629, quarter dollars $780,
$50 dimes; 265, 543 half Understanding So
6)l,2S6 pieces of silver coin, amounting to
$23,27l ,499 90.
Copper coins SO, S82042 cents; 6,135,5l3
half cents-making 57,O2O555 pieces of copper
coin, amounting to $5395l2,984.
Total amount :-l09, 279 ,03l pieces of coin,
making $32 ,206,S25 $50"
We suppose (says the Boston Advertiser) it
is now intended to extend the operations Of the
establishment, and to furnish greater amount
of American coin, for the circulation of The
country. A more ample supply of smaller
coins would be of great use as substitute for
the worn out, debased, and clipped foreign coins
which now make great part of the specie cir
culation. We are glad to perceive that the
coinage of the half dimes has been resumed,
after being discontinued, we know nof for what
reason, from the year 1905.

RUmoR. There is a rumor 1--WE know not on
what authority that preparations are making
for an arrangement with Great Britain on a
basis Of extended commercial reciprocity and
that tariff on imports will he agreed upon
between that government and the U. States,
which will meet the appreciation Of both. 1t is
said the British Minister at Washington APP
proves of the project, and that special mis-
sion to England is on foot, for the purpose of
completing the Arrangements.
The above, which is from The New York
Mercantile Advertiser, confirms report which
we have heard from other Sources that the
administration, fearing that Congress could not
be induced to repeal or SO to modify the tariff
laws us to take away whatever protection they
afford to our own industry, are determined to
accomplish the same object by treaty stipula-
tions. 1t is highly probable that such an at
tempt will be made. Wo doubt, however,
whether the Senate would sanction such an
interference, on the part of the executive with
a branch of our polity which has heretofore
been regulated by Legislative enactment. Time
must determine the question.
