prizes . The war has now commenced—in Asia , at least—in stern reality . The Russian army of the Caucasus has invaded Armenia in three corps , and according to the latest accounts received up to the time of writing , the Turkish
army in front of Kars—a fortress which played so conspicuous a part in the war of 1854-6 , —has been defeated and driven back , under cover of its walls . Tho Russians have also captured tho fort of Bayazid , a position of no little importance . On the other hand , the Turks have
repulsed more than one attack on Batoum , a fort of considerable strength on the Black Sea , and are said to have bombarded Poti and another place . In Europe , the Russians have occupied Roumania , and are said to be advancing , but slowly , towards the Danube . The weather
however , is most unfavourable . The roads are very heavy , and the reports whioh reached us during the first days of the war , of large masses of Russians having advanced rapidly , do not appear to be confirmed . They have , however , secured more than one vory important position , while
the Turks seem to be acting with somewhat of their usual dilatoriness . As yefc no one seems to have divined the plans of the Russian Commander-in-Chief . lb is even said he will play a waiting game , aud endeavour to tire out the Turks . Certainl y he may well hesitate , even if there were
no heavy and well ni gh impassable roads to traverse , about pressing forward too hastily , for the Turks have a strong position , an army respectable in point of numbers and filled with enthusiasm , as well as with the most deadly hatred of foe . They have several very strong fortresses , and also a
splendid fleet . In fact , it is geuerally admitted that Turkey is far better prepared for a successful defence than she was in 1853 , when she repelled the attacks of the Russians and defeated them in so many engagements . However , under existing circumstances , we must expect to
wait some time ere news of an exciting interest is received . As regards the Russo-Rouraanian convention , it is universally condemned , while the Russian edict closing the navigation of the Danube is rumoured to have been cancelled at the special instance of Austria . At homo the

It is with very deep regret we announce to our readers the sad death of Bro . Geo . Frank Gouley , Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Missouri , at the early age of fortyfive . Bro . Gouley and his wife were staying at the Southern , Hotel , St . Louis , when the terrible conflagration
which destroyed it broke out . They had dressed themselves as soon as the alarm was given , and Mrs . Gouley , with a wet towel over her face , left the room , in the full belief her husband was following her , and escaped . Bro . Gouley , however , is believed to have remained a few minutes
to collect some papers or documents , and , on endeavouring to follow , was beaten back by the smoke . He was afterwards seen at the window signalling for a ladder , but before this means of escape could be brought , he is believed to have been rendered insensible . At all
events , he fell from the window , and on being picked up was found with his skull fractured , his chest crushed , and one leg aud an arm broken . Everything was done to comfort the widow which the sympathy of friends could suggest , though it is impossible the recollection of the terrible
calamity can ever be driven from her mind . Let us hope that , as time passes , the bitterness of her great sorrow may be assuaged . Bro . Gouley was born at Wilmington , Delaware , on 15 th Februaiy 1832 . He had received a good academical education , and had studied for the law in the
office of Senator Bayard . He had in his time played many parts , as Secretary to Stephen A . Douglas , in the Land Department in Nebraska , and lastly in St . Louis as a bookkeeper ; in each and every of these positions he acquitted himself honourably . He was made a Mason in Washington ,
and after settling in St . Louis became a member of Masonic Lodge No . 1 ,- St . Louis R . A . Chapter No . 8 , and St . Louis Commandery No . 1 of Knights Templar . In 1864 he became assistant to Bro . 0 'Sullivan , Grand Secretary of the Masonic Grand Bodies in Missouri , and on the latter ' s
death , in 1866 , succeeded him as Grand Secretary to the Missouriau Grand Lodge of A . F . and A . M . This office he held at the time of his death , as well as the officies of Grand Secretary and Grand Recorder of this and other Masonic bodies in the State . For some years he edited and
published the St . Louis Freemason , a journal afterwards merged in the Voice of Masonry , to which he was a frequent contributor . Bro . Gouley ' s body was removed to the Masonic Hall , St . Louis , where it lay in state for some days . The funeral service was conducted by Missouri Lodge No . 1 ,
the members of which were escorted to the room by the Grand Commander of the State . The body was then removed to the Bellefontaino Cemetery , the Knights Templars heading , and the Master Masons closing the procession . Hero it was to remain for ten days , after which it was to
03 removed East for final interment at Wilmington , Del . We avc indebted for the foregoing particulars to our esteemed contemporary , the Keystone . It only remains for us to add the expression of our deep sorrow for so untimely a loss , aud of our warmest sympathy in this affliction with the family and friends of our deceased brother .
