Msssrs. Eators:-Having occasion a
short time since, 10 visit the 'sLard of
Steady Habits, +" i propose tojot down a
few things that interested me during my
sojourn there, thinking they may. per-
haps, also, interest some of your read
ers.
1 was much impressed with the
beauty of the New England villages, and
much of their beauty is owing to the
many magnificent trees, with which al
most every village, and even the cities.
abound. The finest elms and naples
ever saw, are there in abundance; not
the tallest and straightegt trunks, but
the widest spreading branches, and the
most luxuriant foliage.
The PARIS, the streets, the yards, arc
all embelIished with choice shrubs and
trees, giving each village. an air of cool
ness and comfort, seldom seen in our
western back woods towns.
The city OfSpringdeld. Mass, appears
to be built ia the midst of thick forest.
# viewed from the top of the Arsenal,
which is situated on the high grounds of
the city.
Here and there, steeple peers e5oye
the dark green leaves, and a few dusky
roofs, seem to be all the evidence you
have, that you are in The midst of a
populous city.
The grounds of the United States AR
mory, are extensive and very beautiful.
They are enclosed with picket fence of
cast iron about eight feet high, and laid
out with beautifully gravelled streets and
tagged side walks, and taslefully orna-
msnted with trees, shrubs, flowers, &c.
There are about three hundred hands
employed manufacturing arme.
They are chiefly employed now, in
altering The old-fashioned nusket, into
the "Minnie Rifle" or rather a rife to
shoot the ''Minnie Ball'' with. They
ars riaed, or groved inside, bGt not so
deep as the rifles in use with us here,
and the ball is cast so as to expand at
dhe base, and completely ill up these
grooves, that there may be no waste of
the force of powder. Rifles of this
kind shoot farther, and much more ac-
.curately, than the musket, or e=en our
common rife. Let no one visit Spring
field, without visiting the Arsenal.
The polite superintendent seems very
willing to show all objects of interest %
visitors, and TO give them all information
in reference to the establishment; and
the view from the top of the main
building. viii amply repay the trouble
of clambering up that cOrk-screW like
stairway.
