nnnquet at the Contiaentnl.

Last evening magnificent entertainment was
given by Phoenix Lodge, No $50, A. Y. NJ, in
the grand saloon of the Continental Hotel. At
o'clock the members and guests, to the num-
Der of about three hundred, assembled in Parlor
&C." where tickets were given, and, at half past
o'clock the doors were closed and the mem
bers assembled in line and proceeded to the
banqueting-room.
AS the doors were thrown open, the scene
presented was most magnificent. Long tables
graced each side of the room, forming par
allelogram, while at the head of the room, op-
poste the band, was another table thrown
across at right angles, for the accommodation
of the officers of the lodge the whole forming
an oblong square, in the centre of which were
numerous other tables, making ample accommo-
dation for all. These tables were gorgeously
bedecked with sweet-smelling fresh flowers Of
a beautiful and variegated character.
The brethren having assembled at the tables
prayer was offered by the Rev. r. II. Pattison,
after which, on signal from Brother Charles
ID. Freeman, w. NJ, the guests were seated
and at once commenced discussing the elegant
bill of fare. After the cloth had been removed,
a series of toasts were announced, and each
was responded to in an appropriate manner by
gentlemen selected for the occasion.

Robinson in a murderous manner They stated
their object TO be plumber and murder, and without
any further ceremony plunged a large-slzed knife
into his side which Instantly felled him to the
ground. His wife, hearing his cries for help, ran
weltering in his own blood, while the two vii
