Wednesday, May 6, 1857.

May Day.--Friday last ushered in the first day
Of Spring, though with little Of the mldness usual in
that genial season. The sky overcast with clouds,
and chilly cast wind was blowing. But though the
outdoor prospect during the day was thus ceeress,
visit to the Masonic Hall in the evening brought US 10
scene bright poets dream--the innocence and
beauty Of the sprngtme Of life. II was the browning
Of the May Queen. We have not poet fancy nor
poets language, and can therefore give only plain
Prosaic account Of the affair." The young lady who
Personated the Queen by her appearance and manner
was well fitted for the position; and her attendant
maidens made truly handsome display. Bat our
attention was particularly attracted to the
younger portion Of the cortegc--thc flower girls
and the "nymphs." Their young, innocent and
bright faces, their sparkling eyes, their white dresses
and garlands and circcts Of aowers-was scene
which, while looking at it made the heart grow young
again. The whole pageant was well gone through
with, and was ina high degree interesting. rich
and plentiful collation. was then served out to all the
company. About nine O'Clock the more youthful
among the children accompanied their parents home
but lively company. we understand, remained to
amuse themselves with the exciting exercise Of dan
cling, which they kept up till about eleven o'clock.

600 distributed amongst the States under the
deposit act of 1886. has conferred unnum-
bered bene6s upon the people at large
benefits which are still felt and still enjoyed,
and which will be for all time to come. Ia
regard TO the advantages flowing from the
deposit act Of 1856, 10 the State Of New
York. The Albany Journal says:
"On the LIST Of January, 1886. sec. 200.
