The society called the 81. o. O. F."
or Independent Order of odd Fellows,
which exists in this country, has excited
a considerable degree of attention from
many who are not aware Of the character
and objects of such an Association. and
curiosity has been active 10 discover
what facts it could in relation 10 them. -
For the benefit Of such, therefore, we
propose to enter into brief detail oi
their history, and the objects which in,
duced. and which still preserve their or
ganization.
In the year IS, and during the reign Of
Nero, the Roman soldiers formed society
in their camp which they distinguished by
ahe name Of the "Odd Fellows society,"
and they were called among themselve.
and by others, Fellow Citizens" The
title was given to them by Titus Cesar
in the year 10, as it SO we'll corresponded
with their singular notions and manners,
from their being able to know each other
in the night, and for their attachment to
him and their country. He not only
gave them name, but manifested his re.
gard for them by presenting them with a
"dlspensation engraved on plate oi
gold, leaving different embiems, such as
the sun. moon, stars, the lion. the lamb =,
the dove and the emblems of mortality"
The order continued to increase in Italy,
and by the 18th century, it had spread
over the Spanish dominlons, reached
Portugal, and become established in
France and England. And at the same
