The weather for the past two weeks has been favor

hands are busy in planting corn and preparing to

Notwithstanding the short crop of potatoes last

RESULT OF HAsTY LEGIsLATIoN-The National
Integencer mentions an omission, resulting from
the hasy legislation of the late Congress, which is of
no little importance. 1t appears that although the
Committee of Ways and Means had reported an item
of 100000 for the national armories, no such item
appears in the law and the manufacture of arms for
the current year must be considerably curtaed, or
the financial ingenuity of the War Department must
be exercised to find method Of borrowing from some
other fund.

MASTER MASONs OF ANTwERP.--A curious custom
still exists among the guild of masons. Henri Con-
science, the Belgian writer, says that whenever new
master was n br elected it necessary that prev
ous, IN lt,lng initiated into his somewhat important
position he should prove himself worthy of the dig
nifty about to be conferred on him, by pulling down
and rebuilding with his own hands the facade of one
portion of the building, which has consequently been
re,erected innumerable times, though the remainder
of the edce is sufficiently venerable. If the candi-
date shrank from this trial, there was no alternative
but to give up his claim.
