B0~The New York Tribune has been
guilty Of publishing the following tele
graphic dispatch:
"LANoAsrER, Pa, April 5.-The State
Grand Council Of Know Nothings, which
has been in session in this city since Tues
day last, broke up this afternoon in confu-
sion. The cause of the difficulty is un-
derstood to be an opposition to the pro-
posed open organization. The public SEN
timent here runs counter to secrecy and
oath-bound political societies. Gen. Cam
eron, Ex-Governor johnson, and Gen.
irwin were among those who left the coun-
Gil this morning in disgust at the proceed
ings."
We are charitable enough to believe that
the Tribune would not have published it,
had it known what the writer of it did
that he knew nothing about it, but was
only desirous of making his conlmunica-
tion interesting. We are justified, in the
broadest sense, to say, that there is not
one word of truth in it-not the first syl
able. On the contrary to what is here
Il -
said we are reliably assured, that the pro
ceedings of no convention or council coult

A Sad Story.

We have rarely met with more mel

tailed by the New York Courier: "On
the hrst OF January, 1854, a gentleman
doing business in this city Was worth with
what he had invested in business, hun
urcd and ten thousand dollars At the
same time he was blessed with lovely
and intelligent wife, beautiful and prom
iseing children. He was surrounded by
friends who esteemed and respected him.
Ills business was lucrative and promised
10 continue SO, Indeed, his position as
well as his prospects were seemingly, all
that he could desire, to render his happi-
ness perfect. How complete the wreck
which the year closed upon! The tirst
misfortune was the TRANSFER OF merchan-
die to the amount ol eighteen thousand
dollars to California dealer, for which
not one cent was ever received. The next
Were two successive robberies, by means
Of whicn twenty-five thousand dollars were
lost. Soon after this, the unfortunate man
made an investment in real estate to a
large amount. The next and crowhing
misfortune was trip with his family to
Europe. They embarked, ON their return,
with thirty-eight thousand dollars worth OF
goods, on board the steamer Arctic, and
all shared her luckless fatel
In settling up his affairs, his real es.
tate was sold under the hammer, at sac
rihce Of forty thousand dollars, making
the aggregate loss to his property during
the year, one hundred aud eighteen thous.
and dollars, eighteen thousand dollars more
than his assets. Ills friends were Obliged
to make good his deficiency! Was ever
