among the best of Hives. The one exhibited by S. Roller, 

 is thought by some as the perfection of Hives — the arrange- 

 ment being such that the bees can continue to make honey 

 the whole year, by having the material placed in their reach. 

 « The Candies of M. C. Lewis and C. Zimmer, were said by 

 the judges, (and they tested their qualities in the most posi- 

 tive manner, by eating something less than half a pound,)

 J. J. Wilson, and exhibited by W. P. Wilson, were far supe-

Mr. Jesse M. Hutton, submitted the plan of his dwelling 

 house to the inspection of one of the committees, and was 

 awarded a Diploma, for its general arrangement, convenience, 

 and its relative cheapness for the same. We should be 

 pleased to see a sketch of it published. Mr. Lewis Morris,
