DRouru IN KANsAs.-The people in
Kansas are thirsty, and with good reas-
on. That blessed boon of llea ven, "the
rain. the FLASHING rain" of which we
sometimes get too much here, has not been
vouchsafed to our kinsfolk in that Terri
tory for day after day, and week after
week, as correspondent Informs us,
while the thermometer ranges from 80 to
80 deg; nor has any dew fallen upon the
tender herb. For fifteen years, the Indi-
ans say, nothing like it was ever known
before And the drought. bad as it is in
itself, bespeaks fearful femme. Corn.
potatoes, all the roots and fruits of the
earth, are in the worst possible condition.
Crops Of all kinds arc in serious risk of
utter failure. 70 add to the misfortunes
OF that unfortunate territory it has been
visited by a violent and destructive tor
nado.

TrightfuI Accident at Sandusky
--Fniling Of ~ Balcony AT the
West House White Crowded
with PcOple--thc wounded.

A frightful accident occurred at the
West House, Sandasky, Tursday morn.
ing about half past eight o'clock. The
House was thronged at an early hour by
people from the country, who had come
in to witness the Fircincn's Parade and
Tournament
As large number were coming out of
the dining hall after breakfast, band Of
music passing the hotel ON Water street,
struck up lively tune, and the people
rushed out upon a balcony attached to
the second story, facing Water street,
which was Instantly crowded with men
and women. The balcony was about 40
feet long, supported by six cast iron
brackets, wholly inadequate for such q
purpose. An ornamental cast iron rail
ing extended in front of the balcony
OF sudden the brackets snapped like
pipe stems, and the balcony, with Its
slirieking and terrified humanity fell tC
the stone pavement below. For mo-
mcnt the scene was terrific the groans o.
the wounded and the lranti' shrieks Of the
women and childred oppa,' cling the stout
est hearts. Humane spec ators came al
once to the rescue, and the wounded wer,
carried into the hotel and Immediately
cared for. 1t was providential that Nc
one was crushed beneath the falling of th
balcony, and almost miracle that M
| lives were lost at once.
The following is list Of those whit
were wounded: Mr.. Wales, Clyde, right
thigh badly fractured and otherwise in
jured. Mrs. Wales, slightly hurt Mr.
Armes, of Iillin, fractured diSlocation 0
wrist, and various bruises. lie was abou

fusely from considerable wound in
from some piece of broken iron. Hi
daughter stood by the. side of him whe
the balcony fell but was not injured YER
badly. Mrs. Black, of Nermillion, arm
much bruised. Mary Minsh, German
servant girl from Tillin, was badly in ure,
in the chest and suffered greatly. Sh
was little easier last evening. Her con
dition is considered rather critical. Jane
Costin, Of Bellfontaine, had several rib
broken and was severely injured. Joh
Ross, Of Sandusliy, much disfgured. Nj
Hustick, ofMarion, bruised good deal
Several Others received minor injuries
There was a rumor last evening that

had died during the day, but we could no

r'he Masonic Fraternity,

The past few years have been marked
with the rapid growth of Masonry in tho
United States. The number of members
within tho jurisdiction of the Grand
Lodges of tho several States arc not re-
ported, but we learn from the statistics Of
the Grand Lodge of tho United States.
that there were in 1859 upwards Of A.
600 Lodges; and counting the number OF
members for each Lodga at forty-fve,
which is twenty five less than the general
average for tho State of New York, and
thirty five loss than that Of Pennsylvania,
we have the number Of Masons connected
with Lodges in the Union as nearly two
hundred and seven thousand, while there
are n large number of Masons in every
State not connected with any Lodge. 1t
is safe, therefore, to put down the num-
Der of Masons at the present time within
tho United States at II quarter Of II mil

Dead Body by tl,e Girls.
The village of Hudson was thrown into
great excitement yesterday morning,
when the particulars of foul murder on
the previous evening came to light. An
Irishman named John Mullony, work
man on the Cleveland ~ Pittsburgh Rail
road track, hearing that Michael Staples
(who had few weeks scincc been at
work in the same gang with Mullouy)
was at Hudson on Saturday morning pro-
cccdcd to see him. They met without
any apparent malice or ill-Ieeling on
either side, though there had been trouble
between them. This interview, it was
supposed, was for the purpose of arrang
ing some pecuniary matter They were
together all day Saturday, with every ap.
pcarancc of friendly feeling. In the
course ofthc day someone asked Staples
if he were not afraid Mullony would injure
him or kill him? Staples replied that he
was not, as they had made up their differ
ences and were now good friends. Moth
ing worthy of notice passed between the
two until about 10 o'clock. Staples was
walking with two girls on College street
and observed that Mullony was following
them. When near the residence of Pres
ident Pierce, Mullony came up and deal
Staples terrible blow with u huge clul
upon the head. He then struck him agar
over the eyes. Staples fell to the groun(
dead, the first blow having, as it il
supposed, been fatal one. The wretcl

The Homestead.

The Republicans profess to be great
lovers of a homestead bill AT each elcc
ton they promise many deludcd men n
farm for voting the republican ticket
Men vote accordingly-thc inducemcnt is
strong-but the farm never comes. They
are now ready and willing to promise ev-
ery man homestead, somewhere, who
will vote for Lincoln and Hamin That
is all very nice and comfortable to those
who need the gift, but are our opposition
friends in good earnest, or is it on y votes
they are seeking. When Lincoln was in
Congress he voted against law to allow
1G0 acres of laud--the bounty land law
to the sold ers who served in the Mex
lean war. The bounty land system had
previously prevailed, but Mr.. Lincoln
was unwilling to extend it to the Mexi-
can soldiers. Now, if ho was opposed to
that Just measure, how can he go in tor
giving every man farm? We would
like to know and be glad to have the
matter explained. So far as Hamlin is
concerned the record is equally bad Mr..
lIamlin is said to be so wonderfully So
lctous about the welfare of the poor AT
rican, as to have cried on the passage OF
the Kansas and Nebraska bill, but he did
not love the poor Northern white man
enough to vote for tho Homestead Bill,
by which every poor man could get n
farm for the mere possessing it. 10 show
how Mr. lIamlin stands on this question

speech in relation to American slavery,
arrogantly claimed superiority for the free
States in educational advantages. AS

boast that his early education consisted
of only six months of the rudest kind of

RUNAwAY.-On Saturday evening hack
drawn by two very fine black horses, and
owned by W. B. Sheldon, drove up to the
Angler House, where the driver left the
horses for moment. They started off and
broke into run and dashed at full speed
down Ontario street to the bank where the
excavation has been made for the sewer
They dashed over huge pile Of dirt and
then down the bank at full speed, where no
man in his senses would think of driving a
horse. They finally stopped after running
clear to the waters edge without break or
injury. 1t was the narrowest escape imagin-
able for 9pth horses and carriage.
