KNIGHTS TEMPLAR CELEBRATION.-Thc
Knights Tcmplar celebration which takes
place on Wednesday and Thursday, the 18th
and 10Th OF November, will likely be Should
the weather prove propitious) the most inn
posing display ever witnessed in this city.
Old Dominion Commandery is now arrang-
ing the details for their entertainment, and
propose to make the occasion an event long
to be remembered in Virginia Templarism.
1t is expected that about 800 Knights Tenn
plar with seven or eight bands OF music
will be in line. There being no hall in the
city large enough to accommodate them,
the committee in charge OF the matter are ne
gotiating for the hire OF an immense tent, ca
pable OF seating the whole number at the BAN
quet to be given on Thursday night. When
4 similar celebration composed Of all the
Knights Templar in the country took place
in Baltimore a few years ago the CITY a,l-
thorities and citizens were profuse in their
hospitality, and we bespeak for our people
a prompt and earnest greeting to those who
may visit us in November next. Colonel
r. +. WitherS, Grand Eminent Commander
OF the State, will be in command, assisted
by Grand Captain-G General John F. Reg
INSULT, OF Richmond. 1t is suggested that
our citizens, especially those living along
the line Of march, which will be published,
shall decorate their stores and dwellings on

Found DEAD.--On the evening Of 9th
instant Mr.. Newman Settles, Of the vicinity
of Blueridgc Westinghouse, was found
dead in the road leading from Gishe's mill
to Mr.. Lunsford'S. He had, during the day,
been passing to- and from Gishe's several
times, at which place he obtained at one Of
those miserable sinks OF iniquity intoXica-
ting drinks, and imbibed SO deeply that he
became very drunk, and night approaching
he was trying to find his way home; he by
some means got off of his horse, proba-
bly, fell of, near Mr.. Bird Riddles, where
he was seen by Mr.. Eugene Bush
and others of his neighbors, but they know
ing his habits paid but little attention to
him, supposing he would presently become
sober enough to find his way home, and so
left him for the present: but afterwards
consulting about the matter, concluded to
return and see after him. They found him
near the place where they last saw him,
lying with his neck across rail dead, appa-
rently having died without a struggle after
he fell. 1t was supposed that he probably
broke his neck when falling across the rail.
