From Iawreuce.

The facts relative to the downfall of
Lawrence. are given In the following ar
ticle taken from the Argus. We insert it
in our columns and will vouch for IFS ac-
curacy:
"On Wednesday. 2Ist inst, I. B. Dom
aldson, the U. S. Deputy Marshal. pro-
ceeded to Lawrence with posse of men,
to make some arrests, but not finding all
the persons sought for. returned to Le-
compton. Sheriff Jones was then placed
at the head of about 16 men, and proceed
ed to Lawrence, to carry out the laws In
his hands. The hotel and the printing
offices at Lawrence, had been declared
nuisances by the Courts, and Jones was
commanded to remove them. Jones pro-
ceeded to Lawrence and informed the
citizens OF that town, of his business, and
demanded an immediate surrender and
obedience TO the laws-all of which was
agreed to. Jones then demanded their
arms, whereupon lorty-fire or fifty rifles
and guns. four pieces brass cannon and
one mortar. were given up, but It was sup
posed that great many more were con-
cealed. After this had been done, Jones
ordered the removal of all the furniture.
&c., out of the hotel, that it might be de-
molished. He placed four pieces cannon
within short distance of the house and
began to play upon it. But not being able
to accomplish anything in this way-the
balls passing directly through without other
damage. After about twenty-four rounds,
five kegs of powder were placed inside of
the house, which blew out few windows
and hole through the roof. This failing
to accomplish the object, the hotel was set
on fire and burned down, and few shan
ties around.
All the printing presses were then taken
down and put into the river, all in a quiet
and orderly way. Attempts were made
to pull down some other houses, but sheriff
Jones would object, and the men then de-
sisted. Jones' actions reflected great
credit to himself, and the quiet and Or
derby disposition of his men, showed no
higher object than forcing obedience to the
law. There were no women or children
insulted or injured in the least"

does not forget, she still loves. If hers
be madness, it is such an one as might add
brightness to the character of Gods
angels; it is only love-love against rea-

who, having taken the dead hope TO its
bosom, yet believes there is vitality in the

A GOOD TAKE ORA wild run by a the
atrical company from New York to PhilsdeI-
pha, playing in both cities the same night,
has been extensively noticed. The Philadel-
phia Ledger has the following notice Of bur
lesque on the affair by Sanford. 1t says
Last evening Sanford's immense feat of per-
forming POca-hunt-us, at the Odd Fellows'
Hall, Twenty-fourth Ward, and at his Opera
House, and riding between the two places in
wheelbarrOws, came of pursuant TO announce
ment. The Hsll in West Philadelphia was
well filed, while outside large crowd col
lected TO witness the starting VI tie bsrrows
fOr the Opera House few minutes after
eight the performance concluded, and the in
vited guests took their seats in a six x-horse
omnibus, and the opera troupe, headed by
Sanford, were comfortably accommodated with
Wheelbarrows The omnibus led the way,
amidst the cheers Of thousands stationed along
the route. The street on this side Of Market
street bridge was so densely packed that IL
was difficult for the coach and barrows TO pro-
ceed without running over the enthusiastic
spectators; but fortunately, through the skill
fdl driving Of coachee and the pushers, the
feat was performed without accident in Q lit
tie over is minutes, the quickest time ever
made with wheelbarrows. On the arrival Of
the party at the Opera House the immense
crowd assembled gave three desfening shouts,
and the band stationed on the pavement
struck up, "See the Conquering Hero Comes"
while rush was made for the inside OF the
Hall, TO witness a repetition Of Pocs-hupt-us.
After the performance about sixty invited
guests eat down to fne repsst, which Mr..
Sanford had literally provided at De Ban
res. The entire exhibition was well man
aged, and no exhibition has caused more ex-
citement, or drawn q larger crowd 10 the
streets
