James E. Campbell, Butler County's
Prosecuting Attorney, was conceded
by all TO be the handsomest gentleman
In the procession on the occasion of the
grand Masonic celebration Of yesterday.
He had the bearing and looked the Sir
knight to perfection. No disrespect to
those tine-lOoking and knightly gentle
men from abroad, but the truth must be
told,
The famous gun that did the fatal
WORK at the time Of the Tom Mcclellan
assassination, is supposed by many TO
have found lodgment at the time in
the basin, which fact accounts for the
anxiety to explore Its hidden depths,
and the impatience manifested at the
slow exit OF the water theretrom by
many OF the citizens. That gun should
be found at any cost TO Yinuicate pos
terity.
The Hawthorne Club held its last meet
ing for the summer at the residence Of
Mrs. James b. Campbell last night. The
members OF the Club had extended in
VltatiOns to quite number of their
friends which made the meeting rather
larger than usual. The exercises were
all well rendered, and the readings by
| Mrs. Horace Woodrough were unexcep-
| tionally good and proved a rare treat
| indeed to all who were fortunate enough
to be present.
The Masonic celebration Yesterday

The procession was one of the largest

Of welcome by Dr.. Park; singing
and a finely delivered Grafton by Rev.
Sir Ivan Cleve. The exercises for the
afternoon were about similar to the
mornings, with the exception of an ora
lion by Rev. IL. d. Moore, OF Cincinnati.
The heavy rain and wind storm which
| came up about the time for closing the

tered with quiet dismissal of the vast

S33, ,069,3 1856 %, aD amount nearly
sufficient for the sinking fund for that
year. The estimated revenues for
the next fiscal year are 1868, $50, 900.
1t appears from the report that dur
ing the last fiscal year the revenues
of the Government compared with the
previous year have largely decreased.
This decrease, amounting to the sum
of $l8,4Sl,4 ,452 81, was mainly iD
customs duties, caused partly by a
large falling off of the amount Of i'm
ported dutiabie goods, and partly by
the general fall of prices in the mar
kets Of production and of such arti-
cles as pay sd valorem taxes. While
this is felt njuriously in the diminu-
ton OF the revenue, it has been ac-
companied with large increase of
expectation. The total exports dur
ing the last fiscal year. including
coin, have been Se5S. 637 457, and
the imports have been s492, ,097 $40.

the United States amounting 10 the
sum of sl66,529,917. the beneficial
effect of which extended to ell branch
es Of business. The estimated rev.
eneu for the next fiscal year will i'm
pose upon Congress the duty Of
strictly limiting appropriations, in
cluding the requisite sum for the
maintenance of the sinking fund
within the aggregate estimated re-
ceipts.
