THE MAsoss.-After many years Of strife,
there is at last n prospect of a union of the
antagonsic Masonic bodies in the State of
New York. The Grand Lodge of Free and
Accepted Masons, under the Grand Master
ship Of Mordecai Myers, commenced its an
nual session in the city of New York on
Tuesday last, and has continued its sessions
daily. Among the subjects Of interest that
have been discussed and acted upon were the
"artices of union" as reported by the COM
mittee of conference. After full and free
discussion Of them, they were unanimously
accepted as the basis of settlement of the
unhappy difficulties that have existed in the
Masonic fraternity since ls49. The Grand
Lodge under the Grand Mastership of John
NJ. Lewis, jr., has also had the "articles of
union" under consideration, and they were
adopted on Thursday. So says the New

for, having always observed that, ms soon as

were left to slander him. 1t is very certain
that when a man leaves the Democratic party
all the rest begin to slander him, and tho

W-A correspondent of tho Nashville
Union and American, writing from Camden in
relation to the discussion at that place be-
tween the two candidates for Governor, says
that Gen. Harris "was unwell and indsposed
to speak," Now we don't know or care how
nor where the correspondent got his informa.
tion, but We are creditably informed by one of
Gen. Harris old friends, who met with him
only few minutes before he went to the
stand, that Gen. Harris told him that he never
had enjoyed better health than he did at that
time.
The whole truth of the matter is, Demo-
cracy is badly whipped, and these are the ex.
cuses they are offering, for the purpose, if
possible, of boIstering up dying cause. But
the handwriting is on the wall, gentlemen,
and coming events piH east their shadows

Enquirer, who are anxious to serve the coun-

sleep, he cannot find one who is willing to
accept, or is qualified to discharge properly
the duties of the Utah Governorship. Where
are all the Hotspurs of the South, that Utah
must go ungoverned? Who will volunteer
to accept an office of great responsibility, but

SPLENDID PAIR OF, ANTLEEs.-The good

the Republican, ever seen in that region
There may be others,s sit adds, us fine, yet
proudly worn by some sswild monarch of the
forest and prairie in the far Northwest, but
they have not been taken, and are out of
the latitude of our remarks. These splen-
did antlers have thirteen branches, and are
four feet four and half inches in width, and
four feet four i,,chsr IN height. The circum.
ference of each horn at the base is twelve
inches, and they weigh forty five pounds

IMPORTANT TO FARMERs-THE WHEAT
CRor.-Tennesse wheat is gaining posi-

second to no other. BY this the farmers are
the ones directly benefited ofcourse. 1t is
important to them, therefore, to spare no
pains to bring their wheat in a strictly mer-
chantable condition. Let it be pel cleaned
above all things, and well sacked. Much de-
pends, in giving it it's proper position, to con
sidera!ions of this kind, and we trust our far.
ming friends will bear them constantly in
mind.
