der. Starting from the entrance
into the reception hall, until the last
good bye was said, it was a wonder

Rural expressed their sorrow that
they could no longer hold lodge In
their old home, they also expressed
their gladness in being permitted to
become part of old Valley. The
doctrine of Odd Fellowship will be
preached and practiced by strong

young men who want to stand high

course intense anxiety and solicitude.
An immense crowd was gathered
in front of the Presidents house, and
strong guard was also stationed
there, many persons evidently sup
posing he would be brought to his

The entire city tonight presents a
scene of wild excitement, accompa-
MED by violent expression of indigna-
ton and the profoundest sorrow;
many shed tears.
The military authorities have dis
patched mounted patrols in every d.
rection, in order, If possible, to ar
rest the assassins. The whole metro
politan population are vigilant for the
same purpose.
The attacks, both at the theatre and
at Secretary Stewards house, took
place at about the same hour-ten
o'clock-thus showing a preconcerted
plan to assassinate those gentlemen.
Some evidence of the guilt of the
party who attacked the President are
in the possession of the police.

jumped on the stage, and, amidst the
intense excitement which ensued, es-
capped through the rear of the build
ing. The President was shot through
the head. He was Immediately re-
moved, and on examining the wound,
the brain was found to be oozing
therefrom. The best surgical skill
was instantly summoned; but it was
not thought it could be of any avail
towards saving Mr.. Lincoln's life. He
was still living at an early hour this
morning; but the last melancholy
parting scene between himself and
family had taken place, and his death
was momentarily looked for
The attempt to assassinate Secre-
tary Seward was made at an earlier
hour in the evening than the attack
on the President. The assailant forced
his way into the sick chamber where
Mr.. Seward was confined to his bed,
and, after dealing disabling blows on
the attendants, rushed to the bedside
and stabbed the Secretary in the neck
and breast. He then fled from the
house, mounted horse and escaped,
making use, as he did so, of the same
exclamation used in the case of the
Presidents assassination-"Si Sem
per Tyrannis" Though the wounds
inflicted on Mr.. Seward are not of a
mortal character, it is feared that,
owing to his previous debilitated con-
dition, they may lead to fatal results.
The assassin had not been arrested
up to the hour of our latest dispatches
Who he is is not positively known,
though suspicion points strongly to
a certain Individual.

One O'clock A. M.


The President is perfectly senseless,
and there is not the slightest hope of
his surviving. Physicians believe that
he will die before morning. All of his
cabinet, except Secretary Seward, are
with him Speaker Colfax, Senator
Farwell of Maine, and many other
gentlemen, are also at the house
awaiting the termination.
The scene at the Presidents bedside
is described by one who witnessed it
as most affecting. 1t was surrounded
by his cabinet ministers, all of whom
were bathed in tears, not even except
ing Mr.. Stanton, who, when informed
by Surgeon General Barnes, that the
President could not live until morning,
exclaimed, ooh, no, General; no,-no";
and with an impulse natural as it
was unaffected, Immediately sat down
on a chair near his bedside and wept
like a child.
Senator Sumner was seated on the
right of the Presidents couch, near
the head, holding the right hand of
the President in his own. He was
sobbing like a woman, with his head
bowed down almost on the pillow of
the bed on which the President was
lying.

War Department.
Washington, April 15-9:10 A. M
Major General Dix, New York.
The President continues insensible
and sinking.
Secretary Seward remains without
change; Frederick Stewards skull is
fractured in two places, besides a
severe cut upon the head. sThe at
tendant is still alive but hopeless.
Major Stewards wounds are not dan
gerous.
1t is now ascertained, with reason
able certainty, that two assassins
were engaged in the horrible crime,
Wilkes Booth being the one that shot
the President, and the other an &C
complete, whose name is not known,
but whose description is so clear that
he can hardly escape.
1t appears from papers found in
Booths trunk that the murder was
planned before the 4th of March, but
fell through then, because the accom-
plice backed out until Richmond
could be heard FROM.
Booth and his accomplish were at
the livery stable at 6 o'clock last eve
ming, and left here with their horses
at 10 O'Clock, or shortly before that
hour
1t would appear that they had, for
several days, been seeking their
chance, but for some unknown reason
| it was not carried into effect until
last night.
One of the assassins has evidently
made his way to Baltimore; the other
has not yet been traced.

Washington, April Isl A. M

Washington, April Isl A. M
The streets in the vicinity of Ford's
Theatre are densely crowded by an
anxious and excited crowd. A guard
has been placed across the street and
F and e streets, and only official per-
sons and particular friends of the
President are allowed to pass.
The popular heart is deeply stirred
and the deepest indignation against
leading rebels is freely expressed.
The scene at the house where the
President lies in extremis is very af-
fecting. Even Secretary Stanton is
affected to tears. When the news
spread through the city that the Pres
ident had been shot, the people, with
ed every place where there was the
slightest chance of obtaining informa-
ton in regard to the affair.
After the President was shot, Lieu
tenant Rathburn caught the assassin
by the arm, who Immediately struck
him with knife, and jumped from
the box as before stated.
The popular affection for Mr.. Lin
coin has been shown by this diabolical
assassination, which will bring eter-
nal infamy, not only upon its authors
but upon the hellish cause which
they desire to avenge.
Vice President Johnson arrived at
the White House, where the President
lies, about one o'clock, and will re-
main with him to the last.
The Presidents family are in at
tendance upon him also.
AS soon as intelligence could be got
to the War Department, the electric
telegraph and signal corps were put
in requisition to endeavor to prevent
the escape of the assassins, and all
the troops around Washington are I'M
der arms.
Popular report points to somewhat
celebrated actor of known secession
proclivities as the assassin; but it
would be unjust to name him until
some further evidence of his guilt is
obtained. 1t is rumored that the per-
son alluded to is in custody.
The latest advices from Secretary
Seward reveals more desperate work
there than at first supposed. Stewards
wounds are not in themselves fatal;
but, in connection with his recent in
juries, and the great loss of blood he
has sustained, his recovery is ques-
tionable.
1t was Clarence A. Seward instead
of VIM. H. Seward, Jr., who was
wounded. Fred Seward was also bad
ly cut, as were also three nurses, who
were in attendance upon the Secre-
tary, showing that a desperate strug-
gle took place there. The wounds of
the whole party were dressed.

UP TO THEM

A certain man in a small Western
city recently married one of two very
beautiful twins, as like as two peas

the likeness between the twoHwomen
and often wondered how the husband
knew one from the other.
One day one of his friends met him
on the street, and being curious on the
subject, said: John, the whole town
is interested in your case. What we
would like to know is this: How do
