The Disaster at Lawrence.

We give large space this week to Incl
dents and testimony relating to this great ca
lamity; and we do SO knowing that very ma
ny of our readers have not access to daily
papers, and will get history Of this deplor-
able affair in no other way.
The testimony before the coroner's inques,
is bringing to light some facts in regard t..
the cause Of this calamity. 1t is rapidly be.
coming notorious that the building was q
sham-never safe for any purpose, and par
ticularly unfit to sustain heavy and powerful
machinery especially when in motion. 1t is
shown by testimony it was faulty from the
foundation up-buit upon quick sand, with
very thin walls. badly cut up by numerous
aud large windows, without the usual sup
port and stays above the second story--it
must inevitably fall
Yet in view of all these facts We can hard
ly endorse the sentiments Of many of our
contemporaries, that this accident was bar
barous massacre, and that the guilt of muir
der is involved in it, However astounding
may be the testimony, or dreadful the deaths
and wounds Of the victims, We can hardly
conceive that men would knowingly build
such extensive and extravagant tombs. For
if they care not for the lives of others, these
capitalists care toe much for their own prop
erty to hazard hundreds of thousands of dol
lars in an insecure building. Such costly
machinery would never have been put in had
the owners known or believed that the Penn
herton mill was unsafe. We can account for
this building being built in this manner only
on the superstition of incapac,y and want of
proper knowledge on the part of the build
ers aid projectors. In view Of this unpar-
allied calamity, something beside unavai::ng
lamentatisn and empty denunciation is de-
manded. Something should be done to pre-
vent recurrence of such disasters.
The whole number of the dead, wounded
and missing from this disaster, is as vet ra-
Their uncertain but as near as we can gath

! the entire northern sentiment and determln-
alton, counsel disunion as the last desperate
remedy for the South; while Others (mem.
bers of the opposition) are inclined to believe
it as but the outbreak of the fanaticism of
the few ultra Abolitionists of the North, and
trust to the good sense and patriotism of the
country for the great Union-saving reaction.
| AS expressive of the former disposition
the Democrats of Mason have recently had
meeting and passed resolutions embodying
dsunion purpose, in certain contingency;
while the latter are holding mass meetings In
this and other counties of KY, responsive to
the Union meetings at the North, and whose
resolutions breathe the true spirit of patriot
ic love and fellowship Of North and South.
1t is to be hoped that neither section may
do aught to check this disposition to harmo-
nize, but that one great Union party may
spring up from the present distraction, whose
ascendency shall be the death of the present
corrupt administration, or whatever other
party may tend, directly or by indirection, to
the dissolution of the United States.
The Gov. of Ky. takes, in his message, ul-
ira ground on the slavery question, condemn
ing Jefferson and all the Old School slavery
ties, of which Clay was member, for their
sympathy with freedom, and hope of its ulti-
mate abolition. He enters into an elaborate
biblico-political argument to prove the right
and expediency Of slavery, and urges the pas
sage of stringent laws to guard the "peculiar
institution" and "kill in the bud" any inva-
sions of Kentucky. To this end, he advises
the reorganization of our militia which is at
present entirely disbanded.

County Agricultural Society was held at the

Their never has been SO much feeling in re-
lation to this great branch Of industry aid
production as atpresent. This augurs we'll for
our society in the future. The suggestion Of
Gov. Fairbanks that orc day be set apar, for
the sale Of stock ard farm productions, was
quite oppor,unc, and we thought met with
the hearty appreciation Of those present.

College Ru@ans.

A most rascally piece of burglary and ruff
fianism was enacted at Harvard College
Cambridge, last week. A short time since g
new and beautiful chapel connected with this
institution was broken into in the night time
and an offensive mixture dauhed upon the
desk and officers seats, and two bibles sto.
len from the desk. As this chapel is pro.
per sanctuary. and used for nothing but re-
ligious worship, such a proceeding can be
deemed nothing short Of sacrilege. The Off
GERS Of the University thus considered ii, and
fearing repetition of this offence. stationed
a Waterman there. On Wednesday night,
three or four students went to the chapel,
broke stained window, and one of them
son of John NJ. Forbes, celebrated Bos-
ton merchant-entered, when he was con-
fronted by the Waterman, who told him that
he was an officer of the law, and demanded
his surrender. He was answered by heavy
blow upon the head by Baltimore "billy,"
inflicting severe wound, but owing to the
thick visor of his cap, not stunning him. The
officer then fred a shot from revolver in
the air, with an assurance to the assailant
that the next bullet would penetrate his NOR.
tai frame. The student thought it expedient
to surrender, when he was ironed and held
prisoner till morning, and handed owe: to
the officers of the law. He is now held in
$4,000 bail to answer for the assault on the
officer.
In view of these facts the students of Har-
ward came together in mass meeting and
passed resolutions "protesting against intro
ducing an armed police to enforce the disci-
pline Of the college," This manifesto of the
students reminds the Springfield Republican
of the exclamation of the raw recruit when
he first became aware in an actual engage.
ment that there were blows to be taken as
we'll as given, "Say, bill, them fellers are
shootin' bullets"
These students, and all others, should un-
derstand that if they take up the business of
ruffians and burglars they will be treated BY
the law as such. HOUSEKEEPING and bur-
gary and assaulting an officer should not be
overlooked because it is done by college STU
dents who are sowing their wild oats.
