other articles Of dress belonging TO the Lawrence

trophy of all one which exhibited the appreciation

LAWRENCE. August II, 1885,
The past week (this is Sunday has been not the
least eventful one in our history as Territory;
and o.day, strange as it may appear, although
there was no battle fought was the most exciting
ore Of the week.
A little before noon Gov. Shannon, Major Sedg-
wick. of the United Safes Cavalry, and DR. 'de
rgue, citizen of Lecomptou, and few Others,
came into town and "put up at the Cincinnati.
A Council was immed ately held between then and
few of the Free-State leaders, with closed doors,
which Council lasted five or Elk hours. Ia the
mean time large crowd Of men had collected in and
around the hotel to hear the result of the Council,
and to ascertain, if possible what was going on.
At length, about o'clock in the evening, Col.
Walker, one of the Free State leaders, came out
in front of the hotel and sta ed that peace agree
ment had been made, the terms Of which will
more properly appear in Gov. Shaunon's speech.
After Col Walker got through with bis remarks,
Gov Shannon came out in front Of tho piazza and
addressed tie crowd. He looks very thin, and
apparently careworn-far more so than the last
time saw him, about week afser the sack Of
Lawrence; but he has been so often described, it
would be out of place to say awOrd here, only that
he vas sober.
