M.sor1o Ct1rpRarIoN.-The Mason

Masonic CkLrBRArroH.-The Mason
ic Order had a grand parade in thii
town on Saturday last, st. Johns Day
A number of members of the order from
distance were in attendance, which
number would have been greatly aug
mented but for the low stage of the nv
er and the irregularity of the boats
They marched from their Hail to the
Presbyterian church, where Rev. A. A.
JxEsos delivered a very appropriate
address on the subject of the Order
He gave a brief history of st. John the
Baptist, and his time, but the principal
points of the discourse were-the ma
ture, the spirit, the antiquity and ten
dency of Free Masonry, all of which
were handled in a mastery manner
He closed with an appeal to the Frater-
nity to faithfully adhere to the moral
teachings of the Order. The singing
by the choir was most admirable. AT
ter this they marched to the residence of
Mrs. COLEMAN, where they partoOk of
adinner of the best quality, which was
put up in good style. Every thing pass
ed off well, the citizens were highly
grati6ed, and the Order much encour-
aged to press on in their good work of
charity and love.

STEAMER ONO SUNK.-On Friday
night last, the steamer Ohio on her up
ward trip, struck the wreck of coal
boat, about 25 miles below Portsmouth
and sunk in about FIVE feet water. The
boat, was old and heavily laden for this
stage of water, but it is supposed the
most of the cargo will be saved in a
damaged condition. She was owned
in this place, and we understand there
was no insurance on her. There was
considerable freight aboard for mer-
chants in this place. She was in COM
mand of Capt ]. J. Blagg at the time oi
the accident, and was on her last trip
prior to being torn to pieces for the pur-
pose of fitting out the new Ohio, which
is now being built above. No lives
were lost.

posed to it him out with. The tar and
feathers were at hand, and men willing
y pitched in to give him his new suit.
The brushes and mops were dipped into
the tar bucket, and speedily apulied to
his naked form, while the victim stood
it like q martyr. What was their sur
prise, however, TO find that the sub
stance wouldn't stick and slid off his
person as fast as it was applied. Il
was in vain they worked, for the tar
wouldn't take hold. Upon questioning
him sharply and examining him closely,
they found that the Reverend gentle
man actually CREASED himself all over,
in anticipation Of the course that would
be pursued towards him. His ingenui-
ty, however, wouldn' save him, and
vengeance finally triumphed. Some
genius in the crowd suggested method
which was Immediately adopted. 1t
was nothing more or less than to sprin-
kle him with ashes, and little dirt and
sand. The plan succeeded-the prim-
ing stuck, and the tar and feathers were
applied and adhered; after which they
trotted him around on rail.
