O6te Of TIE Gonritr,

Ottumwa. Iowa, I
THURSDAY, Jan. ., SO. !

Ma. EprroR.-In accordance with long ac-
customed usage, the Masonic Fraternity cele.
bratedN St. johns Day, the 9th, at the Mason
ic Hall in Ottumwa, by a splendid SUPPER got
ten up exclusively by Mason's wives. By in
~vitation, the members of Olive Branch Lodge
No. II. attended, and the Master Of that Lodge.
Bro. JOHN BEACH, delivered a very able AID
Interesting address. We would that it were in
our power, to give here even an outline Of that
address; but neither space nor time will admit
Of il. Suffice it to say that il was full of cor
rect moral teaching, and sublime delinea-
tons Of the wisdom and goodness Of the great
Architect and Supreme Ruler of the Universe.
OF the supper, we present the following high
enccmiums penned by an intelligent brot1er
from Olive Branch Lodge:
SIT is difficult task to compass much in few
words, and when it involves a description of
many things, each equally deserving of notice,
the difficulty is enhanced. This is just the po-
sition the writer of this finds himself placed in,
in regard to a most delightful Masonic reunion
which came of in the Hall of the Fraternity at
Ottumwa, on the evening Of the 9th Decem-
Der. The writer's part is only to speak Of the
Ladies', the Ma.cns' wives, who graced the oc-
casion; but there is the rub, among so much to
delight, of what TO speak. Shall il be CT the
tastefully arranged table, which filled the length
of the spacious room, and was fairly beading
under the profusioR of every delicious luxury
with which female skill IAN please the appetite.
- al.x roaJ The ropfro ~
the table, seemed to be the cynosure Of the
whole armament of dainties, its coat of snow
white frosting skillfully ornamented with vari-
Gus masonic emblems, and appearing to reflect
from its transparent surface, as from a mirror,
the smiles Of the fair and happy faces that
stood or passed before it. Or shall ii be that
we speak of the pleasure with which every fe-
male eve SCENE / radiant in the consciousness
of that delight they were bestowing upon the
other sex? Or shall it be of the neat and ele-
giant simplicity, without an exception, Of their
attire and appearance? Or shall it be of the
unreserved ease and suavity of their manner.
80 dignifed ana courteous, yet so devoid Ct all
chilling restraint; the heart politeness coniras-
ting 20 pleasantly against the freezing formali-
ties Of a mere conventional etiquette, that
makes the stranger, no, none can be strangers
In such a place; we should rather say, that
makes the guest feel that he is breathing in q
welcome from the very air around him.
What an additional incentive to the wish
that our Masonic halls would multiply until
hey covered the land, were every new one to
be consecrated with just such q baptism, ar
ranged and celebrated by just such Mason's
wives, as on the festival of st. John Z. A. L.
$685., among the brethren of Ottumwa Lodge,
No.. l6, aid worthy Of being noted as an e.
pooh in ones life.
