M., June 26, 1853, @rand Masonic Celebration of the Birth of St. John shire—Firemen’s Visit—The Legislatwre—An- ctier Defeat of the Maine Liquor Law—Mr- Burke's Movement— Weather and Crops, $c. ‘The Masonic Fraternity, which for the last twenty- five years has slumbered in a comparatively dormant state, in New Hampshire, had a grand reunion in ‘this city yesterday, June 24, upon the occasion of the “ Anniversary of the Birth of St. John the Bap- tist.”” The weather in the moraing wes rainy, and many were doubtless kept away by the anticipation of an unpleasant day ; but, at about nine o’cloek, the clouds dispersed, and with an atmosphere cool, pure and inv'gorating, more delightful weather could not have been desired. The ceremonies were conducted under the direction of the Blazing Star Lodge of Con- cord, Rev. Jobn Moore, Master. They consisted of an oration, poem, prayer, music, dinner, &c. Col. Jesse A. Gove officiated as Chief Marshal, assisted by Mesars. A. M. Ward, T. Wadleigh, Abie! Carter, Abel Hatch- ins, dy., E. H. Rollins, J. H. Mace, E. Hoyt, and L. A. Walker. Among the lodges which appeared with full delegations, and occupied a place in the proces- sion, were the following: St. John’s and St. An- arew’s, of Portsmouth; Strafford, of Dover; Lafay- ette, of Manchester; Rising Sun, of Nashua; Blazing Star, of Concord. There were also respectable dele- gations from many other lodges in this and other States. In addition, there appeared the Knights Templar, in their chapeaux, black plumes and | uniform; the Royal Arch Chapter, Grand Lodge of New Hampshire, &c., in their appropri- ate regalia. We noticed in the procession many distinguished public men, including a large number of our most esteemed clergymen, doctors, lowers, meckanioc, editor, and reproventatives of almost every trade and calling. Among the number were his Excellency Gov. Martin; ex-Governor Mat- thew Harvey, now Judge of the United States Dis- trict Court; Gen. Israel Hunt, and Dr. William Pres- eott, democratic candidates for governor at the late State Convention; Hon. Andrew Peirce, of Dover; A. R. Hatch, Eeq., of Portsmouth, Clerk of United States District Court; Rev. 8. Kelley, of Portsmouth; Rev. Dyer H. Sanborn, late Chaplain of New Hamp- shire General Court; Col. Cyrus Barton, of the State Capitol Reporter; Jobn T. Gibbs, Esq., of the Dover Gazette, and others. Full one-third of the number were men of venerable appearance, gray-haired and | | House refused to take it up, 131 to 114, the vote | having been agreed on as a test of the relative aged.

The following is a copy of a beautiful hymn, - posed by the poet, Rev. Mr. Greenwood, a Univer- salist clergyman, of Doyer, and sung by a select choir :— Great Architest diviae!

After the conclusion of the exercises at the church, the fraternity repaired to ae Hall, where a splen- did dinner had been provided, under the direction of the Blazing Star Lodge, for about four hundred. Nine large tables were spread with all the luxuries of the season, and together with the hall, were cle- | itly decorated with wreaths of flowers aud nets, prepared by the ladies. Here a number of the ‘members of the Legislature, strangers, and citi- zens, not belonging to the order, participated in the festivities. Among those present were Gov.

They were L sppr priately received and hospitably entertaii by the Concord, No. 2. The Tigers were accompa- nied by an excellent band of music from Milford, the whole corps numbering upwards of fifty men. The Concords had the Concord band. At 3 o'clock the two companies sat down to dinner atthe Phoenix Hotel, his Honor Mayor Low pre- siding, assisted by Col. N. B. Baker, C' ineer of the Concord Fire Department, and the new demo- cratic candidate for Governor. There were good things to eat, good things said, and a good time gen- erally.

WINTHROP RICHATDSON. {From the Bo:ton Mail, June 27 We record to day, with deep sorrow, one of the most awfal railroad accidents that has ever occurred in this section of the country—awfal, not for its oxtent, but its melancholy vature. At a few minutes before seven o’cloek, Jast Saturday evening, as the northern exprees | tesin from Concord, N.

He saw the train from Bos ton appreach en the track opposite, and started to go across. Just at this moment the northern train ap- proached, going at the rate of forty miles an hour, Whether or not Mr. Richardson saw the train or whether he fell upon the track, or was taken suddenly ill, is not known. The engins, however, struck him with tremen- dous fores, His body was thrown into the air several feet above the engine, and scattered in every direction. Nota bone three inches long in his whole body was found. It was an indescribably awful sight. Portions of the head | were in one place, and of thi ly in another. Here was a fragment of an arm, and there of a leg. On the plat- form of the front car was found his heart, and at a dis tance of some two rods from the track his liver. The mutilation and disseveration of the whole body was com- plete. Of a}l the horrid sights ever witnessed, we ven- ture to ray thet this never parallel in the painful. The ecattered fregments of the body were gathered as well ascould be. They presented a sight too gee, Bed describe, if we bad either the heart or disposition. The engine, when brought into the city, had to be washed off, covered as it was with gore and fragments of th» body. -How dreadful must have been the feekings of that diugh- ter, who, instead ef the foud weloome of a father, which she felt war awaiting her, beheld his blood and {lvsh on every hand, noone can tell. It was overpowerioz, and the awful calamity was no sooner made koows to her tham she became unconscious, and was borne to her heme.
