The only disturbance reported was at Law renee, Mass, where party of 8 dozen Orangemen with their ladies were assaulted by & mob of several hundred and many stones thrown at them. The little party sought the protection of the police, and under charge of the mayor and squad of officers started for their homes. The mob, much augmented
 again attacked them with bricks, stones and other missiles, until every one of the party ex- ceptlng the mayor were injured.

They finally left, taking with them $40, 900 in Virginia bonds.
