MURDEROUs FKEAK BE INSANE MEN.-A
few days ago an insane man named Samuel B.
Brooks, who had been an inmate of the Asy-
lum at Augusta, was brought here from Bos-
ton and handed over to the authorities. He
was not regarded as dangerous, but was COM
mitted to the Aims House by order of the
Overseers of the Poor. After be arrived at
the house be became sullen and at night was
locked up in cell. In another cell in the
same part of the building was man by the
name of Fabyan, who formerly lived ON the
hill and has been insane for some time. though
not considered dangerous. Thursday mig hit
about II o'clock, Brooks broke off from his
bedstead an iron brace, and with 1t succeeded
in wrenching of the look rom his cell and lib
Grating himself. After leaving his cell, armed
with dangerous cudgel, he liberated Fabyan,
and both went to neighboring room and there
demanded from an inmate who was taking care
of one of the sick the key OF the upper door,
threatening to kill him if he denied. He was
frightened and told them it was in his pants
pocket Getting the key they went up stairs
and while there the inmate below heard
Brooks propose to come back and kill him. He
came down, but the man had presence of mind
enough to throw his coat over the light and ex-
tinguish it, SO that Brooks could not find him.
Brooks asked for a match but received no
answer. He then went up stairs and the at
tendant gave the alarm, and several persons
ran to the scene, but in the meantime the
crazy men had escaped to the yard, where they
were captured after some resistance. ~

Report from the Sjgmal once.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11-730 P. M.-The bar
ometer has fallen SLIGHTLY 1T the Rocky Noun
tain stations si2ce Thursday, and has risen in
the extreme northwest. The area of the low
est pressure, which was in Wisconsin, has
moved southeastward, aud now extends from
Southern Illinois to Lake Ontario. Severe
local storms marked its progress, and light
rains, with threatening weather now prevail
from Ontario to Arkansas. The barometer has
fallen on the gulf coast, and rise is again re-
ported from Louisiana to Florida and North
Carolina. The pressure has varied but little
on the Middle and east Atlantic, where clear
and hazy weather prevails with southeast and
9asterly winds. p - a. aA-
Probabilities and warm weather will
probably be experienced on Saturday from
Missouri to Lake Huron and westward. The
low barometer with cloudy weather will prob
ably continue from Louisiana to West Virgin
ia and eastward, and the low barometer with
cloudy weather will probably extend during
the afternoon over New York and New Eng
land. #faHs& a.r-.s ~

Goldsmith making the fastest time in three
straight heats on record by IA of second.
Over 10000 persons were on the grounds. The
2 40 race proved unexpectedly interesting and
exciting, Judge Brigham, a comparatively new
horse, making splendid record, winning the
race in four heats, and making the first quar-.
ter in 81 seconds, and the middle half in LOS.
Immediately after the race, Judge Bingham
was bought by George G. Hall for $50 600 for

In the great race of to-day, Goldsmith Maid
trotted three heats without skip or break till
the last heat when she was crowded from be-
ginning to end by Lucy who Tapped her
throughout after one of.the most closely con-
tested heats ever witnessed and then she only
made two quick breaks one at the start and
one at the home stretch. On coming to the
start on the second heat, the lett rein OF Gold

when Budd Doble, her driver, performed An

A MasOn's Objection to Masonry.

In the Masonic Text Book for Ten.
nessee VIC find the following:
"Begihning within the circle of domcs-
tic and soiial duties, the bosom of the
Master Mason should dilatc to the more
enlarged circle OF the public duties he
owes to his country and not conllninS his
affections even there, his heart should ex-
pand to the spacious circles Of human na-
ture, and swell with emotions Of universal
love and bcncvolcnce,'
This is a noble sentiment, and as we
desire to observe it, we can never be.
come O member of q Masonic Lodge
again, Now, let us explain the reason
why.
Last Friday We were requested by
Bro. Merritt, the Secretary of the
Lodge in Winchester, to attend the fu.
neral OF BIO. Buchanan. We consent.
ed to do so, thinking that but few mem
bers would be present, and that our
services might be needed. The exer-
cises proceeded in the usual way, with
Il little variation. When we were as.
sembled around the grave, the Wor.
shipGul Master, in the course Of the Ger.
emory, (holding an evergreen in his
hand), solemnly said:
This evergreen, which once marked the
temporary rcsting-placc Of the illustrious
dead, is an emblem of our faith in the i'm
mortality of the soul"
He then dropped it into the grave.
The brethren then moved in process
sion around the place Of in,crment, and
initiated the example Of the Master by
dropping into the grave spligs Of ever.
gleen. We, however, did not do this.
We could not do it. And hence we
felt like one who has mwiltin.ly gotten
himself into q place where he has no
business.
The doctrine Of the Immortality of
the soul We cannot indorsc, either di-
rectly or indirectly, as we regard it as
the greatest error which ever cursed
the human race. Therefore, Reason
points out the path VIC must pursue,
and however ragged and thorny it may
appear to be, we have no doubt ;hat
~, :,
God will make it pleasant to our feet,
This is our only objection to the
otherwise "beautiful system of moral
ty" known as Masonry; and as "thc
virtue Of Charity is among the first les
sons we are taught when we pass the
threshold of the mystic temple we
b~esecch ii brethren to exercise this
virtue toward us.
