Mason JOINS AND HIS oR4TIoEs.-Speak-
ers capable Of holding the breathless atten-
tion of an audience for two hours are not
very plentiful even in legislative bodies
hence the first Grafton of Mason Jones this
sDeaing, at the Academy of Music, under the
auspices of our Library Association, is likely
to excite much interest; for not only is such
his reputation, but it is said of him that he
has a-wealth of imagery and forcefulness
of elOquence which leave their impress on
the memory of the listeners long after he is
through speaking. Mr.. Jones comes to our
city with his fame preceding him, which
had its origin in England and which has
recently won fresh laurels in New York He
is reported to be one Of the most captivating
lecturers who have ever appeared upon a
public rOstrum. Our exchanges award the
highest praise to his powers and capabilities
and we have great pleasure in anticipating
the treat of listening to one whose rhetorical
talent is undoubtedly of the highest order.
He was invited to visit this city some time
since, but the invitation was respectfully de-
clined at the time, owing to other engage
ments. We are informed that it has been
through a very pressing request that be has
been induced to promise the delivery Of two
lectures. The first tonight viii be on Carl
baIdi; simply naming the subject, viii b'
sufficient.
It is to be hoped that large crowd viii
attend these erfra Lectures, giving the Asso-
citation splendid benefit ts assist them il
paying up the large amount contracted by
them in the improvements Of the rooms.

Room now, worthy of the intelligence Of hel

killed near the Pittsburgh shops yesterday
vas the victim of his own careIessncss. A
pony engine had pushed a number Of cars
down the side track, TO be united with others
that were standing there. They were com
ing with such raPidity as to render it dan
gerOus in the extreme for any one to at
tempt to couple the cars as they came to-
gcther. The brakeman was warned by Mr..
Russell not to attempt to do it but disre-
garding the warning, he stepped on to the
track for the purpose of coupling, and as
the cars came together he was caught in the
middle Of his body between the bumpers, and
so badly crushed that he died almost in
stantly. His name was William Lyons
he was a single man.

DEATH OF HAMPTON GARDEER.-We made
mention, in last evenings LEADER, of the
severe illness of Hampton Gardner, who
was wounded year ago, at Winchester
We regret to add to that announcement, the
fact of his death, which took place at two
o'clock yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Gardner
was well known to our citizens, having been
born and raised here. He enlisted under
Captain Rice, when Camp Taylor was estab-
lished in this city, in 1861. Being one Of
the forty Of Captain Rice's men who were
let in Camp, he enlisted in Captain Cranes
Company, A, Of the 9TH regiment. He served
through the Western Virginia campaign with
the 7th, being at Cross Lanes, and other
fights. He was wounded in the head at
Winchester one year and day before he
died. After remaining in hospital three
months he was brought home, and seemed to
improve, until recently. An operation was
performed upon him about six weeks ago,
his skull being trepanned. Since that time
he has had several fits, and lay unconscious
from Friday last until his death. He was
twenty-one years of age last December. He
had many acquaintances and friends in the
city.
