MASONIC PROCESSION, dc.

The Masonic Order had most interesting
and agreeable meeting in Smithfeld, in this
county on Saturday last The occasion, was
the laying Of the Corner stone, with all the
rights and ceremonies pertaining 20 the Or
der, by Iriluminer Lodge, III. This build
ing, designed for the future convenience Of
the Order, is to be built Of brick two sto-
ries high, aud viii be an ornament to the
town no less than creditahlc to the liberality
and enterprise of the Lodge that have under
taken its erection Edmund p Hunter. D.
G. Master Of the State was present, and Off
eated on the occasion. Delegations were
present from all the surrounding Lodges en-
bracing many Of the highest Masonic breth-
rem. The Procession moved at about II
o'clock numbering some go which would
have been much larger but for the prospect
of rain in the morning and was in all respects
one among the most handsome displays The
Masonic Order ever made in that Village.
The Ceeilian Band OF Martnsburg was pres
cnt and added very much to the interest of
the occasion by the harmony Of sweet
sounds" IN the absence of the speaker Sc
leesod for the purpose Charles j. Faulkner,
Esq, kindly consented to deliver an extern
pore Address, and he acquitted himself in a
manner most pleasing 10 bis Brethren and
highly interesting aud satisfactory TO the large
assemhlage present, who crowded every nook
and corner Of the Church. Many portions
Of this address was exceedingly eloquent and
the whole conceived in good taste, and ex
pressed in the most fclieitous manner. The
Masonic Order every where is onward, and IN
but few counties Of the State is it progress.
ing more rapidly than this. The efforts of
Triluminer Lodge to erect Hall for their
own necessary uses is in every degree com
mendahle, and it has the best wishes Of their
Brethren every whore. for its early compile

KILLED by an INDIAN.

Late intelligence from California says
The Spirit Of jefferson, bears 10 Us The
mournful intelligence that hlr Jacob Ben
der, formerly Of Berkeley county, Va,
and member Of the Chales,own Compa.
ny. came 10 his death BY The hands OF an
Indian early 10 the month Of July last.
We have hopes that The news is incor-
rect, as is a great deal we receive from
that quaIler, but the facts as they have
been detailed to us, derived from broth
c. Of Mr.. b are such as almost 10 preclude
even hope OF their being unfounded.
II appears that Mr.. Bender, together
with his parlner--which we presume to
be Mr.. Robert NJ. Bakemore Of Froat
Royal-were induced 10 accompany two
protested Indian friends some six or seven
miles on prospecting" tour in The mines.
Alter they had gone some distance, one Of
the indians slipped behind Mr. Bender
and inflicted mortal blow in The neck
with a knife, completely seyerlng the
main artery. Mr. Il. fell at once, and
and was heard 10 exclaim to his
partner, .'run for your life II Mr.. Ben
der's partner fed at once, and was holly
pursued by one Of the Indians who soon
overlook him. Having dirk he drew it
in defence. and as the Indian approached
made lunge, and buried the knife deep
in the Indians breast, causing him to fall
Mr.. b. partner again fled, and was for
tunate enough to reach settlement. be-
fore he was ovettaken by the remaining
Indian.
Mr.. Bender followed the occupation of
Mill-wrlght, apd-was extensively known
as a mechanic Of rare genius, combined
