MASONIC CELEBRATION AT BERRY
VILE.

Charlestown, Harper's Ferry, Smokers

cesslon and other ceremonies, st Berry.
vile. The procession CONSIST of not
less than one hundred members, under
charge Of Col. Joseph Tuley as Chef
Marshal, and Col. Morgan Johnson assist.
ant. The procession was escorted by
Capt. Nelson's Troop, (on foot) and by
Capt. Sewers RIhemen, lin the absence
OF the Captain under command OF Col.
Morgan,) and after passing through the
Main street Of the village, proceeded to
the Baptist Church. II, re the Harper
Ferry Band played tune appropriate to
the occasion, and prayer was offered
up by the Rev. Mr.. Shlraz.
CHARLES JAMES FAULKNER, Esq. then
delivered an Grafton, illustrative Of The
origin and objects Of the Order, which
was list ned to with great pie aSure. 1t
was in truth an eloquent production, which
could not fail to make an impression on
the auditory, who expressed their feelings
in decided rounds of applause. In de-
fence Of the Order. Mr.. +. had an oppor.
tunity Of citing authority which is always
conclusive with Americans. He referred
TO tho fact that Gen. Washington had
been a member Of the Order; had held
lodges, of which he was master, in a cave
in the neighboring county of Jefferson,
10 years ago; and had continued men,
Der until his death. He held up 10 his
hearers an Apron which the General had
frequently worn, Ia present from Lafay-
cite, and which had been preserved as n
precious relic by the Grand Lodge OF
Maryland. This incident had a thrilling
effect and Mr.. F. made very happy use
of il. His admonltion to the brethren, as
TO the example they should give the world
Of the good results of Masonry, was well
conceived and beautifully expressed; and
Mr.. F. greatly enhanced his reputation as
speaker and scholar by this effort.
The Music of the Harper's Ferry Band
gave life and animation TO the scene, ard
:hetr contributions were appreciated by
all present.
The day will long be remembered by the
| fraternity, as one Of more than ordinary
interes,--and it afforded much pleasure
to the numerous spectators, of whom a
large portion we're ladies'.
P. S. Since the above was written, we
understand the Apron Of Gen. Washing.
ton is now the property of Mount Nebo
Lodge, OF Shepherdstown, having been
preserved 10 that body BY relative of he

want OF moisture in the fall sufficient 10

In fae, we are blessed in all else save

half dollars, now circulating about. Per-
sons should therefore be particular in re.
ceiving thus description of coin. The fol-
loving fact may account, in some degree,
Tor The prevalence Of this spurious money
throughout the country:
"A men calling himself William Brake,
OF Harrison county, has recently been or
rested in Winchester, Va, for passing
counterftii coin. He was taken before
John w. Miller, Esq, who committed him.
Several spurious dollars were found upon
his person. He proposed furnishing MIR.
Anderson and MIR. V. Bush with any
amount from 5 cents up 10 $50, 900. His
liberal offers excited suspicion, which led
to the arrest. It's supposed that he has
many confederates at home"

SOMETHING SINGULAR Wiskonsan and
For R,uers.--These rivers, near Fort
Winnebago on the Wisk onsan, run PARA.
lei to each other, though 10 different direc-
tons. The distance between each is but
mile and quarter. They are simply
separated by plane or fat piece Of
ground, and what is remarkable, 10 high
water they run into each o,her and thus
become united. Almost ever since the
snow melted this spring they have been
thus connected. The fat, separating them.
has been covered with water to the depth
of four feet-some say six-the present
season, or sufficient to admit a steamboat
to navigate up the Wisconsin, across the
fiat, and thus find its wsy down the Fox
river into Lake Michigan at Green Bay,
A canal could easily be constructed, one
mile and quarter in length which would
most effectually unite the waters Of tho
Mississippi with those Of the Great Lakes.
