Odd Fellowsand Sons of temperance

The whole number Of members OF the fndepend-
ent Order Of Odd Fellows in the United States,
according to the last annual report OF the Grand
Lodge, was 3s401, and the limitations during the
last year, 23,350. The number of deaths in the
same year were 1852, and the amount paid for
benefits $780,, 3,s43, or average of S2.624 to each
member. The Order OF the Sons OF Temperance
is of much more recent origin, and its rapid pro-
gress has been even more remarkable than that of
Odd Fellowship, owing perhaps, in great meas
ure, the fact that the fees Of iniation, &C.,
much less, and that the order had its rise in one
OF the great moral reforms of the age. The whole
number of members of this order in the United
States is now a2l,41s. The niations for the last
year: according to the official reports, were ILL.,
500; the number Of deaths 200, and the amount
paid for benefits S23o.s36 or an average or little
over 81 ,04 IA 10 each member. 1t viii be seen
that the membership Of the Sons of Temperance
exceeds that Of the Odd Fellows by s3O77, and
that Notwithstanding This great exess the deaths
in The former order exceed those of the latter but
3d. The Odd Fellows have, moreover, paid out
sl33,O56 more for benefits than the Sons Of Tenn
perance with much larger membership but this
is sufficiently explained By the higher weekly
paid by them to sick or disabled members, and
they also, defray expenses of burial, make allow
alce to widows, &c. &C., which the Sons of Tenn
perance do not OF al least not to the same extent.

all, made without favor to the debtor or the widow,
would reach nearly, if not quite, the sum of $500
Now what does the law of last session effect T.
1t enacts that, instead of certain specific articles,
worth probably that amount the debtor may re-
tain $500 worth of property of any kind at yalu-
alton to be made by sworn appraisers. This puts
all on an equal footing, and equality is equity"
Heretofore, some debtors may have had all the
exempted articles, and kept them, while another
has had few Of them and has seen nearly his
whole property swept away. Comparatively few
laboring men, or mechanics, keep cow, two hogs,
sheep, horse, gears and plow, with six months
feed, and two hundred pounds of meat twenty
bushels OF potatoes and ten bushels Of grain; but
they may have in their houses articles of comlor.
which the exemption of $50 worth of household
utensils would not protect. The law puts all on
the same level, and enables all to retain, if they
have so much equal amount of property. 1t
goes furher-it permits the debtor elect whether
he will retain, If he owns both, $500 in real or
personal estate. 1t does not permit him to keep
both, as Capt SMALL's law would have done; but
it enables him to choose.
The passage of the three hundred dollars exemp-
tion law, was designed to accomplish, and we
believe has accomplished, humane and benevo-
lent purpose. Our opponents are welcome to all
