ODD FELLOWSHIP IN CALIFoRNIA.-A
letter from San Francisco, to the Philad-l-
phia PeEnsylv vanian, dated March 10, says;
The first official flag of the Order was
hoisted to-day OH the fore royal mast head
of the United States revenue brig Law
renee, by Lieut. James B. Mills, of Com
mercal Lodge. No. 256. of your city,
under directions Of Capt. Frazer, Special
d. G.. Sire. appointed by the r. w. G.
Lodge of the United States for California,
Oregon and for the Islands of the Pacific.
1t foated beautifully in the breeze, and L
trust it may continue to wave over the
sea, and greet the land where the benign
influence of the brotherhood is so often
made manifest The Order is on the in
crease, and the expenses are enormous
$50 per night is paid for room to meet
in, and it is small and inconvenient at
that, besides paying SIG per day for at
tendance of physician, &C., besides other
sundry expenses, which renders it difficult
to keep aaoat. Al a meeting OF the Order,
propriety of dissolving as Lodge, some
of the most prominent members took the
responsibility of liquidating the debts.
The Order, am happy to state, is pros
porous and healthy, and the treasury
boasts of a surplus revenue. Such is the
feeling of the members of the Order here,
that almost any sacrifice would be made
to illustrate the truthfulness of their pro-
fession."

decay. In order to do this, take broad

upon this hole. When the bubbles of
air cease rising through these drops of
water. the air is all expelled, and then
you may pass dry cloth over the hole
and let drop of solder fall upon it, This
seals the canister up, hermetically, so
that the fruit will remain unchanged for
couple of years, or longer. The INNER

not impart the slightest taste of their hav-

The canisters of fruit should be left in

fresh fruit is ready having been perfectly

A STRANGE SENTENcE.-Galignani
(Paris) Messenger. gives the following;
The Government, few years ago, left to
three criminals condemned 10 death, the
choice of dying OIL the gallows, or adopt
ing the following condition: The first was
to take tea, the second coffee and the third
chocolate, and TO live as long as they
could but were to eat nothing with either;
these conditions were accepted. The last
who took chocolate, died in eight nloithS,'
he who took coffee, lived tloo years.; and
the tea-drinker survived three yearS.-
The man who took chocolate died in a
state decomposition, and SO much eaten
by worms, that during his life, his limbs
separated one by one from his body. The
man who drank coffee was so disfgured
after his death that one would have said
that the fire from heaven had burned his
entrails, and calcined him from head to
foot. The tea-drinker become so thin
and almost diaphanous that it was perfect
