The weather of Yesterday was beautiful. IL could
not have been more propuous for the eagerly look
ed for celebration by the Odd Fellows Our city was
thronged with strangers. Thousands poured IN
nom the various cities, towns, ana villages IN the
neighborhood. As many as thirteen hundred per.
sons arrived in one steamer, the "John Stevens"
on Wednesday. AT early hour yesterday morn
ing our streets were quite animated The various
subordinate lodges were preparing Tor the grand pro-
ceSson, and each assembled at designated spot,
crowds of lookers-on were attracted 10 the scene.
The new hall in Sixth street below Race and Arch
street, as the general rendezvous, were, however,
the chief points of interest, and towards these
crowds directed their footsteps. IL is long since We
have had such pageant IN Phiadelphia-ong
since 50 large portion of our population appeared
70 take so lively an interest IN display OF the KIND
There was, indeed general holiday and although
but few stores closed, business seemed out OF
the question: least for the greater part Of the day
The music, the banners, the badges, the excited
looks of the strangers, the merry voices OF children,
the mounted marshas, the regalia, the hurryIng TO
and fro, the eager expectstlOn--al served TO pro-
duce an extraordinary feeling IN the community,
and 10 kindle even the torpid and Indifferent
INTO some degree Of interest and animation

hne. IL reminded one of the fourth Of July. The
numerous steamers arriving with throngs of Odd
Fellows, and covered with hags streaming in the
wind while the air was filled with music, presented
gay and animatng scene.
The ceremonies at the hall took place at 8, u. m.
The admission was chiefly confined TO the grand
officers of the order, and few invited guests. The
immense saloon was nevertheless crowded. Tha
officers appeared in full rsgalia, and made very
imposing display The room was embellished with
the national flag, and full band Of music was in
attendance. The exercises commenced by a

1t will be seen. by the proceedings Of the Edu
cation Meeting, held at the City Hall on Monday
night, that some of our citizens are about to enter,
with some degree Of system and earnestness, into
campaign against the dominion of Ignorance.
This is good movement. Ii the Legislature
shall fail at the present session, TO adopt a new
system. or TO extend some help To the masses, the
business of agitation must he kept up, and an is.

The public sentiment is now coming rapidly TO
unanimity on this question. and the cry will seen
go forth over the whole Commonwealth, that the
intellect Of the community is public property, and
must be enlightened. THE MASSES MUSTBE
EDUCATED.
