Grand Lodge Of Odd Fellows.

At our latest advices from CINCINNATI
the Grand Lodge of the United States,
had MOI formed quorum, only Is Grand
Lodges and Z Grand Encampments being
present. This failure 10 obtain quo
rum, no doubt arises from the fact that a
difference of opinion exists in regard 10
the legality Of holding session OF The
Grand Lodge out of the city OF Baltimore;
it being commended by large number OF
representatives thatwhen the Grand Lodge
of Maryland surrendered her powers as
the head of the Order, she insisted upon
the insertion of clause in the agreement.
making Baltimore the permanent seal Oh
the U. S. Grand Lodge, or at least untl
the G. L. of Maryland should consent 10

Texas has refused to authorize the raising
of troops to march TO Santa Fe, referring
the question of acceptance of the Boundary

equivalent to an acceptance Of The Proyis-

Howard and Kaufman, who voted for ],

sliirents in regard to it,. We never doubt

The Shepherd>town Bridge.

we have been informed that the Bridge
ACROSS The Potomac, nj Shcnherdstown,
has just been completed, and IS now ready
for travel. II Is constructed of durabl.
materials, upon the most approved nlap,
and has been pronounced by Mr.. Fisk,
Engineer, one Of the most substantial and
best builI bridges in this part Of the coun.
nv.
This Bridge is upon direct route from
The Western Counties 10 Baltimore and
other Eastern Markets. If Il graded road
could be made from Romney, or some
suitable point on the Winchester and
Romney Turnpike, passing through the
Counties of Berkeley and Jefferson, TO
inteIsect the Potomac NJ the Shepherds
town Bridge, ii would be OF infinite ad.
vantage to the Counties and towns though
which it would pass, and of great. con-
venience and economy TO the extensive
grazing country West of us. II would
probably be the chief outlet ofIhe produce
Of that country to market. There is now
a graded road in course of construction
through the Counties of Hampshire, liar-
dY, PcndIeion and Highland, which will
ultimately he extended farther, and will
draw of the droves of cattle that are con-
stanlly being driven to market from that
grazing district, ard send them by this
road ifit should be made. Ii would pass
through country Astounding in forage !;
i, would be better watered than any other
route; and il would be a grdfed, not a
stoned road. All these great advantages
it would have.--Ndriinsbwg Gazette.

Getting up 20 lt.

Somewhere about here, Writes
southern correspondent,--lives a
small farmer of such social habits
that his coming home intoxicated
was no unusual thing. His wife
urged him in vain TO sign the pledge.
"Why you see," he would say,"I will
sign it after awhile, but ] don't like
to break right off at once; it aint
wholesome. The best way always is
to get used TO thing by degrees you
know" "Very well, old man." his
heIp-mate would rejoin, "see now if
you don't fall into a hole some of
these days, while you can't take care
OF yourself, and no body near you 10
help you out" Sure enough, as if to
verify the prophecy, couple Of days
after he tumbled into the well. Here
the old topper, after a deal of useless
scrambling, shouted for the slight of
his eyes" to come and help him out.
"Didn't tell you so," said the good
soul, showing her cap-friIl over the
edge Of the parapet; you've got into
a hole at last, and it's only lucky Pm
IN hearing, or you might have drow-
ed, you old dog you! WeIl," she con-
tinued, after pause, letting down
the bucket, stake hold" And up he
came, higher at each turn OF the
windlass, until-the old lady's grasp
slipping from the handle, down he
went TO the bottom againl This oc-
curing more than once, made the
temporary occupant OF the well sus
picious. "Look here" screamed he,
in fury at the last splash. "you're
doing that on purpose--I know you
are!'' swell now, dn," responded
the old 'oman, TRANQUILITY, while
winding up once more. Don't you
remember telling me it's best 10 get
used to a thing by degreesl Pm
afraid if was to bring you right up
on a sudden, you wouldn't find ii
wholesomeP' The old fellow could
not help chuckling at the application
OF his principle, and protested he
would sign the pledge on the instant
if she would fairly lift him out. This
she did, a d packed him off TO
'swear in" wet as he was. "For
you see," she added very emphati-
cally, "if you ever fall into the well
again, I'll le0ve you there-I will.

LITERARY CURIosIrY.-A Hunga-
rian Exile, DR.. Gabor Naphegyi, re-
siding at Washington, has just exc
cuted a very curious and beautiful
piece Of chirography, intended as a
letter of coincidence to Mrs. Taylor,
relic OF the late President. The
whole work was done with pen and
ink, on a sheet of paper five feet
long by seven broad. 1t contains
eighteen poetical inscriptions, in as
many different languages, and like
ness OF Gen. Taylor, in which the out
lines of the face and whole person
are formed Of written portions Of the
biography and sentiments of the de-
ceased.
His hair is composed Of the follow
ing words, so disposed, as at little
distance to appear quite natural: "In
the battlefield, amidst the sound OF
cannon, the drums and trumpets, the
hurras OF the siege, and the sighs OF
the wounded, my locks became viii
tened"
The eyes, viz: "My glance was
ever forward to the Father in Heav-
en-, and for the Republic
The nose is composed OF the fol-
lowing words: 81 breath always the
air of liberty-in any other air |
could not exist"
His mouth is composed from his
last words: 81 have always done my
duty. am not afraid to die"
The neck: "Not proud, save only
in being a son OF the Republic, and
in its service"
The shoulders: "With pleasure /
have borne the greatest duties with
which the nation has honored me-"
The rest OF the portrait is filled
up in a similar manner, and sur
rounded by likenesses Of Washing
ton, T ell, friedrich, Barbarossa,
Alexander the Great, and Drago.
The whole is signed by the Presi-
dent and members OF both Houses Of
Congress, and is to be presented in
the form of a memento from them TO
Mrs. Taylor.

NTO MEDICINE has ever obtained q
IN hioher or more deserved reputa-
lion than HoBENsAcx's WoRM SYRUP
il is daily effecting some Of the mos
astonishing and wonderful cures thai
have ever been recorded in the annals
of Medicine.
We would that the public should
know that a remedy is al hand that can
be relied upon in the most extreme ca
ses where worms are the primary cause
of their suffering. And those that are
pining away a miserable existence, un-
der the supposition that they are dys-
peptic, when Worms are actually prey
ing upon the very vitals Of their life,
should use Hobensack's Worm Syrup
ere it is too late.
Evidence certifying to the wonderful
efficacy of Hobensack's Worm Syrup
in expelling worms, and a Mothers
grief changed to joy By It's use:
This is to certify, that two or three
weeks past, two Of my children were at
tackled with worms. I used every reme-
dy | knew, but without effect, they yet
growing worse, until The disease assumed
an alarmingly fatal character, that | and
all who saw them, felt assured that death
must soon close the scene, if relief was
not soon obtained. One Of them presen-
ted fearful picture of suffering; she was
literally alive with worms, her counie-
nance had a pallid. death-like hue, her
breath extremely offensive, her frame
wore down to a mere skeleton, and all the
symptoms attendant upon worms Of
highly aggravated state. To such fear
ful extent did the disease arrive, that she
passed worms from her nose, followed by
copious bleeding. At this time obtained
bottle of your Worm Syrup, and gave
it with bu. little hope, but wonderful to
say, after a few doses. great change
was perceptible, and in few days to my
great joy and wonder, the two children
passed large wash basin full of worms.
Since that time they rapidly recovered,
and are now perfectly cured.
SUSAN THOMPSON,

We have many more certificates in our
possession. equally surprising as the above,

Paper Made in I800.-The Chi
nese affirm that eighteen centuries
ago, they discovered the secret and
means of manufacturing paper; be-
fore that invention they used to in
scribe written characters on thin
strips of bamboo, or sheets of metal,
using style, or pen of iron, for the
purpose of making the characters;
and this, they assert, had been the
practice Of their nation from the most
remote ages. In the first century OF
the christian era. during the Han dy-
nasty, a mandarian, who was al
tached TO the Emperor's Court, and
whose name was Sailum, discovered
the art of paper making.
