POPULAR WORKS.
THE AMERICAN ODD FELLOW

TWENTIETH vOLUNE-PUBLIsHED IN Bosrox
NHE oldest and certainly the best family psn,.
for Odd Fellows in the country Its DESIGN t.r f.l
ever been to prcsentthe principles of the Indenass'
dent Order OF OddFeows prominently before ths
public, and also such intelligence as to the nro
gress of the Institution as shall be of a pene.,
interest. The department devoted to matters n..
tanning to the Order, though comprehensive r,, pss
complete, occupies comparatively small port;oS
Of the paper.
Various other journals of the Order bav;,.
beenadded to it during the past few years. anSS
recently the Journals Of New York State namslS a
the Banner Of the Union, the Golden Rule. and y,
Mirror of the Times.
Having had for years large and extended u
ronage, we now appear before our brethren Of The
Order with greatly enlarged circulation. and
shall do our best to merit the confidence and o.
TEEN Of the thousands of readers added by our no,
arrangements
For some years past, as there have existed VI.
rious journals of the Order in different parts of
the country, it has been considered necessary that
the Brother or the Lodge who would be informed
Of the progress Of our principles should take more
than newspaper devoted to the interests Of ths
Order; but this necessity of taking more than ons
weekly journal is entirely obvated by the Arrange
ments now made, as we have at great expense
secured not only the lists of subscribers and tbs
good will Of all these weekly newspaper estah
lishments but the large and excellent corps of cor
respondents attached to them, and it will be our
endeavor to give not only the latest intellgenc
from every part of the country, but to publish
every article of information which can be Of h.
terest to any member of the Order throughmt
the United States.
We have disposition, an ardent desire, to fur.
nish the Brothers Of our widespread Order The
best journal of the kind ever published, and with
their efforts we will do it. We ask their assis
tance in sending us communications for the paper
We have long been aware that it was not for
the interests of the Order to have too many week
ly newspapers. One journal of this kind we have
always supposed would receive adequate support,
while the same amount of patronage divided
among several, would afford to each g meagre sup.
port indeed. We have, therefore, after great e1.
ertion and expense, concentrated the entire weekly
press of the Order in one Journal The American
Odd Fellow and Golden Rule, and it shall be our
constant aim and effort to make it the jealous e1.
ponent of the principles of our beloved Order.
TERMS.

HOE & cos PATENT GROUND SAWS.

'NlIE subscribers manufacture from the best Cast
L Steel, CIRCULAR SAWS from two to eighty
inches in diameter. Their Saws are hardened
and tempered, and are ground and finished by ma
chinery designed expressly for the purpose aud are
therefore much superior to those ground in the
usual manner, as they are strengthened and stiff
ened by increasing thcm'in thickness regularly from
the cutting edge to the centre, consequently do
not become heated or bucklod, and produce
great saving in timber.
They also manufacture Cast Steel Mil, Pit and
Cross-Cut SAWS, and Billet Webbs of superior
quality, all of which they have for sale, or they
may be obtained of the principal hardware mer-
chants throughout the United States and Canada.

The present critical state of European aiiiirs
will render these publications unusually interesting
during the year 1855. They will occupy middle
ground between the hastily written news items,
crude speculations, and flying runors of the daily
Journal, and the ponderous tome of the future his
toran, written after the living nteres. and excite.
ment of the great political events of the tiue
shall have passed away. 1t is to these per;od!cas
that the readers must look for the only really intel
ligible and reliable history of current events, as
such in addition to their well established literary
scientific, and theological character, we urge them
upon the consideration of the reading public
Arrangements are now made for the receipt Of
early sheets from the British publishers, by which
we shall be able to place all Our reprints in the
hands Of subscribers about as soon as they can
be furnished with the foreign copies. Although
this involves very great outlay on Our part
we shall continue to furnish the periodicals at the
same low rates as heretofore, viz:
For any of the four Reviews, per annum, S.
1or any t"O Oh tne IOur reviews, 20; Tor any three
of the four Reviews, 81; for nil four of the RI.
views, S.; for B.ackwood's Magazine. So; for
Blackwood and three Reviews, 50; for Black.
wood and four Reviews $40. Payments to be
made in all cases in advance. Money current in
he State where issued, will be received at par
CLUBBING.
A discount of 25 per cent from the above prices
will be allowed to clubs ordering four or more
