MAY DAY was celebrated at Charles
town, Va. by the pupils of Miss Church
ill's Seminary Miss Jack having crown
ed Miss Mary Hammond with chaplet of
fresh flowers as Queen ofthe Day, addressed
her as follows:
"Thou canst not steal the roses bloom,
To decorate thy face;
But the sweet blush of modesty
Will lend an equal grace.
Those violcts scent the distant gale
They grew in lowly bed;
So real worth new merit gains,
BY diifidence o'erspread
Nor wilt thou e'er that lily's white,
: In thy complexion find;
Yet innocence may shine as fair,
Within thy spotless mind.
Now in the opening spring oflifs,
Let every flow'ret bloom;
The budding virtues in thy breast,
Shall yield the best perfume.
But as that fragrant myrtle wreath,
Will all the res. survive,
So shall the mental eraces still,
Through endless ages live.
The following is the reply Of the Queen:
While beauty and youth arc in their full
prime
Let folly and fashion engross our whole
time
o let not the phantom our wishes engage
Let us live SO in youth, that we blush not
in age.
The vain & the young may attend US awhile,
But let not their flattery our prudence be-
guile
Let us covet those charms that will never
decay,
And listen 10 all that our teachers may
say.
Isigh not for beauty nor languish for wealth,
But grant me kind providence virtue and
health
Then richer than queens and far happier
than they,
My days shall glide swiftly and sweetly a
way.
For when age steals on me and youth is no
more,
And the moralist, Time, shakes his glass
Mt my door,
What pleasure in beauty or wealth can
find;
My beauty, my wealth, shall arise from
my mind 3"

it, that negro man belonging to Mr..
Andrew Young, living near Mount

Of the family were away from home, at

ST. LOUIS, May 18th 1882
On the morning of the 18th instant, a
respectable looking young man was
found dead in the yard of house in this
place, known by the name ofGoosehorn.
He appeared TO have been killed by a
stab In the thigh, inflicted with a knife.
from which wound he had bled to death
The act is supposed to have been COM
mltted by female inhabitant of the
house who is committed to Jail for trial.
About III O'Clock on the same day. a
number of the citizens, exasperated at
the occurrence, assembled and tore down
the house together with some smaller
buildings connected with IT. after which
the Keeper was tarred and feathered.-
by this time the multitude of people was
great, and, having barrel of whiskey,
with one head out, number of them
drank very freely. One or two of their
most respectable citizens acted as Gener-
al Lynch, gave the war whoop, and
proceeded TO tear down several houses of
similar character with the first but of
a private nature, breaking and destroy
ing the furniture as they went along.
lhe destruction Of property has been
considerable. and would, no doubt, have
been much greater, had not heavy rain
commenced in the evening, which had
the effect of dispursing the crowd
The few respectable inhabitants that
headed the mob in the morning, intend
ed nothing more than to demolish the
house in which the murder had been
committed. They did not foresee the
consequences Of collecting drunken and
desperate ramble,
Three houses were sacked and burnt
to the ground, and about nine others
destroyed. The mob took possession of
the fire hooks with which stone and
brick houses were torn to their founda-
ton and it is said that two respectable
families are left houseless and in abiect
poverty. No doubt ifa finger had been
pointed at the Bank, it would have been
plundered.

A destructive fire occurred in Man
chester last night. 1t originated in the
kitchen of Mr.. Mcdonald, between ID
and l o'clock, and swept off near or quite
thirty Buildings before its progress was
arrested. Six of the Buildings destroy
ed were on the Main Street, in the CEN
tire Of the Town the others on cross
street, with out-houses, connected with
the principal buildings. The principal
sufferers are John Turpin, the Estate of

the origin. of the fire can be obtained.
The inhabitants of Manchester were
unprepared with Engines. &C., to sub
due the fire. Our fire Companies re-
paired to their assistance, and did good
service after they got to work. Many

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.
Mr.. Durant, the enterprizins eronaut,
called yesterday to relate q case of this
curious process, by which he has been
loser to large amount. A new bal
loon, double the size of his former one,
which was vanished on Saturday morn
ing for the first time, having been ex-
posed to the sun through the day, was
rolled up in the evening and deposited
upon several chairs in building in Jer-
sey City. At 5 O. clock the next morn
ing, the balloon was found to be almost
entirely destroyed by fire, originating
in its interior, and which could have oc.
CURED only spontaneously Large mass
es of the silk are reduced to cinder, and
one of the chairs is charred on the whole
surface next to the balloon.-The var
nish was composed ofoil, terpentine and
cacutchoac.
The occurrence is the more to be re-
GREETED, as Mr.. Durant was preparing
this balloon to attempt the great discov-
cry of the art of directing its course-of
making aerial navigation useful-and as
he entestains strong hopes of succeeding,
the delay.is unfortunate. He will how
ever resume his undertakings immedi-
ately.
