for the occasion. The music stand was
well arranged, and long tables extended
through the wharfboat loaded with tur-
keys, sweetmeats, cakes, etc. The re-
past was all the inner man could wish,
AT nine o'clock the ball opened IN cd
Virginia style. The ebony bellies put on
their best looks. The affair passed off
pleasantly, ai saa rs,
The steamer Fashion, Captain Pratt,
which left vicksburg on Tuesday evening
for New Orleans with large number of
passengers on board, caught fire near
Lobdelr store yesterday afternoon about
half past three o'clock, and burned to the
waters edge Twenty lives are reported
lost, but it is supposed the casualties
are much greater. Among the lost are
three ladies and eight other cabin passen-
gers The rest of those known to be lost
are deck passengers, and some of the
boats crew. The officers narrowly es-
capped, nnd one of the clerks was quite
seriously burned. The steamer had on
board 1900 bales Of cotton oil of which
were lost. The boat was headed to shore,
but the fire spread SO rapidly that she
could not be made fast, and the passen-
gers were compelled to jump into the
river. The origin of the FIRE is as yet
unknown. The boat WAS valued at $780,
600, and is partly covered by insurance.

ARREST OF LIsToN FOR THE SHOOT
ING OF BARRY.-An inquest was held
yesterday afternoon by Esquire Creigh'
ton, on the body of Matthew Barry, who
was killed at Gadsden Station, some
twenty miles beyond Brownsville. on the
Memphis and Ohio Railroad. on the eve
ming of Christmas day. From the evil
dence it appeared that he was killed by
pistol shot fred through window into
the room in which he was sitting, the
ball entering under the left ear, and
passing out on the other side just over
the right ear, and that Michael Liston
had threatened to kill Barry if he did
not cease to frequent the neighborhood.
The jury rendered verdict accordingly.
Liston was arrested and a pistol
and knife found upon him. He is now
under guard at Gadsden. Mr.. Barry
was section foreman on the railroad, and
was very generally esteemed by, Il large
circle of friends and acquaintance. He
was about thirty two years of age, and
has connections at Elmira, N. Y. Els
quire Creighton had the body decently
inferred in the Catholic cemetery.

Brother r. J. Morgan arose and delivered
most chaste and eloquent address. 1t
was listened to throughout with profound
attention and general satisfaction.
After music, the announcement OF
Brother Pixies indisposition was made,
when Brother Lynn was called upon to
speak. He declined in favor of Rev. A.
B. Miller, who excused himself in a few
excellent remarks.
Brother Worsham being called upon,
also begged, through Brother Hamilton,
to be excused. The latter then made a
short but excellent little address, directed
first to the ladies, who were, some OF
them, he feared, anti-masons on certain
good grounds; and then to the brethren,
urging them to conduct their meetings
with dispatch, and to stop not by the way
on their return home-believing, he said,
that if this was always the case, few Of
the ladies would oppose masonry.
The audience rose to their feet and
sang doxology, when the benediction
was pronounced and all retired.

We had the pleasure of call yester-
day from the old veteran pass agent of
the broad gauge Erie railway, A. j. Day,
Esq. Colonel Day informs us, that, in
company with his friend Isaac Paist,
Southern agent of the great broad gauge
Atlantic and Great Western railway, he
has been making an extensive Southern
tour He speaks most encourageingly of
the improvements in the railroads of the
South, and gives great credit to the man
ayers of those institutions for the energy
and perseverance with which they have
and are completing their system. And,
although under almost insurmountable
difficulties they are still scratching
away, especiallyin New Orleans, where
Col. Day spent Christmas He speaks
highly of the Inequalities proffered him
on that occasion. We like to see and
hear of these pleasing reunions between
our Northern and Southern brethren,
and when the North and South become
bound together by such iron bands as the
great broad gauge railway, represented
by such gentlemen as our friends Jack
Day and Ike Paist, there will be 10 need
of Congressional delegations riding over
our country to hunt reconstruction.
