Apollo Hall Meeting.

The Lecompton Office holders "harmony"
meeting resulted in sad disappointment to
the cabal Of plotters. The rank and file re-
fused, in toto, to submit to the drill exercise,
and would not be coaxed nor wheedled into
the ranks. After exhausting all the per-
suasive eloquence that the Post Office, the
Custom House, and the Indian bureau could
command, tho 'shighfalutin". resolutions
seasoned with most extravagant commenda-
tons of Free Schools, were lost amid the con-
fusion and noise which the call for vote on
them produced. Ex-Sherif Gavitt discon-
certed the arrangements Of the leaders, by
calling for the nominations. He said they
had been urged TO support the democratic
candidates; he wished to know who they
were, and how they were nominated. As
Democrats they have denounced the Know
Nothings for their dark-lantern meetings

A MELANCHOLY EvENT.-On an evening |
of last week, Miss Barnard, the only
daughter of wealthy family in Boston, was
standing alone by the parlor fire, arrayed
for fashionable party, waiting the ar
rival Of q gentleman to escort her TO the
scene of gaiety and pleasure, when her light
garments caught fire, and in moment she
was enveloped in flames. Before the house
was alarmed and help reached her, she was
SO badly burnt that she fingered but few
minutes. When the gentleman called to
take her to the party she was corpse. The
Boston Courier makes tho following remarks
on the melancholy event:
A young lady, attractive in person and
manners: in the earliest bloom of youth, an
only daughter, the idol Of the household Of
which she was a member; full of life and
hope, and health, is summoned suddenly
from earth, and by fate SO fearful that the
imagination forbears to dwell upon it. A
few minutes Of fiery agony transformed the
fair and sweet image Of grace and bloom to a
lifeless and disfgured frame, from which it
is a relief to think that the spirit was re-
leased. How impressive is the lesson that
such tragedies teach Here was young
lady, guarded and sheltered in every way
that the most watchful care could suggest;
for whom hundreds would have risked their
lives-in broad day; in her fathers house;
encountering fate so awful, and finding
none to help her in her dread and agony. A
dash of cold wa:er-a pat of the hand-a,
the proper moment, might have saved her
but the vigilant eye, the quick hand, were
not there; and she was left to die alone. The
sharpest weight of physical suffering which
the fanaticism of civilized, or the cruelty o.
the savage man, can lay upon the sensitive
frame was borne by this fair young creature
who had never before known one touch of tho
thorns of life. What a sense of the uncer.
tain tenure on which all earthly blessings art
held does so fearful an occurrence give us
Into the sacred circle within which is gath
cred the grief of her parents, of the house
hold to which she belonged, we, dare no
enter.

George II. Lamb, hotel keeper at Men,

After the marriage they did no. live together,
but Lamb returned to Mendoza, with the os-
tensible purpose of disposing of his property
to buy home for himself and wife. On the

oath, they set ont for st. Louis, where they
proposed to take a boat for Memphis. TWEEN

heard from his daughter, was surprised to
see Lamb who returned his wife's clothing.
Lamb told a long story about his wife hav-

Ancient as the earth;
All within our border
Realize its worth.
Genial is the greeting
That awaits us there,
On the level meeting,
Parting on the square.
Like the workmen olden,
Who our craft designed,
We the precept golden
Ever bear in mind.
Masons never falter,
We each other know,
As around the altar
Hand-in-hand we go;
Loud hosannas singing
To our Source Above
And heart offerings bringing
To the God of Love.
Like the workmen olden,
Who our craft design'd,
We the precept golden
Ever bear in mind.
There's mystic beauty
In our working plan,
Teaching man his duty
To his fellow-man;
AS a band of brothers,
Ever just and true,
Do We unto Others
AS we'd have them do.
Like the workmen olden,
Who our craft design'd,
We the precept Colleen
Ever bear in mind.
