Stea MbOat Festivities.

On Thursday evening one of the most de-
lighttul of all gatherings took place upon the
Prairie State, lying at the Lower landing
Everything passed off with the most complete
harmony-the peace that passeth all under
standing" The music was excellent, and the
dancing continued till late hour the sounds
Of revclry gently dissipating into the enjoy
nlent of as fine supper as ere graced festive
board The elite of Saint Paul attended,
though not in as sufficient numbers as could
have been wished. The gray dawn was fast
endeavoring to shake off the sable mantle of
night, when we left. Capt. ABEL has our kind
wishes for his prosperity, and speedy union
with his fair .fancee. The Prairie State left
for st. Louis yesterday morning.

THE WARD TRAGEDY.


The Louisville and Cincinnati papers bring us as
full reports of the progress OF the Ward trial. the
mandate of the Judge will permit. Matt F. Ward
Is in very feeble health and is said to present mis-
cradle appearance He has evidently slept on no
bed of roses for the past few months His wife has
shared his sorrow with him in the JAIL and sticks by
his side in the court room with unmstakable marks
OF anguish stamped every feature of her counte-
nance The entrance of the Ward family into the
court room the first day of the trial, was most
touching scene The sobs of the ladies brought tears
to the sternest eyes, But the scene which was most
moving, was the appearance of the widow Of Prof
Butler upon the witness stand. Her testimony was
necessary to prove the conviction her husband en-.
tertained from the moment he was shot, that the
wound was mortal and death must ensue. Clad in
the habilments of ofmourning. pale, wan and worn by
the great afcton that had deprived her ofa compa-
MON whose presence rendered life most dear, surely
that must have been callous heart that did not
share largely in the agony then rending her mind,
as the recollections of the dying scene came back
to her with such vivid and terrible reality.
Several boys, pupils of Prof. Butler, were exam
ued for the prosecution. Their testimony was
straight forward and conclusive despite the battery
of cross.questions. Thomas F. Marshall, one OF
the counsel for the defence, excessively ardent
in his endeavor to render nugatory the evidence of
the first witness. The Cincinnati Enquirer says.
"During this examination, MIR. Marshall spoke
some fifteen minutes, and replied to by Mr. Car
penter. 1t vast the second passage-atarms between
these gentlemen during the day, and high words
were banded. Mr.. Marshall considered himself
nsulted and, by way OF retaliation, made iusinua.
tions against Mr.. Carpenter, which that gentleman
indignantly and defanty hurled back at the Captain
from Woodford. Capt NJ. then said he had incura-
BILE peculiarities of manner, and he would not in
future have them criticized. So he played quits,
and the Judge admonished the parties, while the
Sheriff. at the conclusion of the difficulty and the
restoration of peace cried "order," and requested
the gentlemen to keep COOL"
The examination of witnesses on the part of the
Commonwealth, closed about o'clock on Thurs
day and then quite number of witnesses were
called to testify to the general character and de.
meanor of Mr.. Ward prior to the killing of Prot
Butler. The point on which the defence will rest,
is selfdeience.
