Antiquity Of the /. o. O. r.

Antiquity Of the i. q. o. II.
We find the following in an old English paper,
from speech delivered by Mr. Cooper at meet
ing of the Order, of Greenock, Scotland. Mr..
Cooper said:
The origin of the Order Of Odd Fellows is OF
very great antiquity. 1t was established by the
Roman soldiers in the camp, during the reign Of
Nero, in the year 90. At that time they were
" Fellow Citizens" The present name~was given
them by Titus Cesar in the year 10, from the sim
gularity of their meeting, and from their knowing
each other by night or day, and by their country.
And ne not only gave them the name of Odd Eel
lows, but at the same time, as pledge of friend
ship, presented them with a dispensation, engra-
ven on plate of gold, bearing different emblems,
such as the sun, moon and stars, the lamb, the
lion, and the dove and other emblems of mortality
The first account of the Order being spread in
other countries is in the fifth century, when it was
established in the Spanish dominions and in the
sixth century by King Henry in Portugal, and in
the eleventh century it established in France,
and afterwards by John De Neville in England,
attended by Eve Knights from France who formed
a Loyal Grand Lodge of Honor in London, which
Order remained until the twelfth century, when .
part Of them began to form themselves into q
union, and portion of them remain up to this
day-the Lodges, which are now very numerous
throughout the world, and call themselves the
Loyal Ancient Odd Fellows, beinga portion Of the
original body.
The Manchester Unioa Is of more recent date,
although there is no doubt of its emanatng from
the same source. Its first introduction into Man
chester was about the year 800, by few individ-
uals from the Union in London, who formed them
selves into Lodge, and continued in connexion
with them for some time, when some difference
caused them to declare themselves independent,
and thus have kept their work Independent

MONTEREY FISHERIES Sentinel of last Sat
nrday, in an article in reference to the fisheries Of
California and Massachusetts says it is matter of
great wonder why more has not been done to open
out the mine of wealth which nature has OF old
established in the fisheries of California and the
North Pacific. Probably there is not in the whole
world coast SO Astounding in productive fisheries
as that Of our State, Oregon, and Washington
Sardnes, mackerel, Goldfish, and salmon are not
found In any part Of the earth's shores as hume
rous as they are hereaway. In summer and fall
they arrive in bays in such shoals as to aston
ish the stranger. An old sailor captain, Down
Easter informs us that, in several visits he made
to the Oregon and Northwest coasts up to Sitka,
nothing surprised him more than the incredible
quantities of the before-named fishes, and found
in those parts into whatever anchorage he made.
He thinks the California and Northwest fish not
only superior to those Of the Northeast Atlantic
coasts, but they can be taken with much more
fAcility.
In September, 1855, the Bay of Monterey was
visited by such immense shoals of fish as to aston
sh the oldest inhabitants. We were wondering
eyewitness to this remarkable piscatory influx
SO incredibly thick were the fish, near the beach
and wharf Of the town, that they could be taken
by hand with ease; and boys and men, for two
days in the above month, the 7th and 9Th, were
dipping them up with buckets and blankets like
30 much molasses. They would even jump on
the rocks of their own accord, and the sardines
were washed ashore on the sandy beech by thous-
ands. Men were out in boats all day long, haul
ing in sardnes and mackerel by the bucket full,
and catching as many baracoutas by the hook MS
their shallops could ballast under. One crew &C
tnally tipped over their boat into school Of fish,
and tipped it back again full of sardines and other

Whose mighty dust in glory sleeps,
Where broad Potomac swells and sweeps,
And mourns and murmurs past his grave
Oh. spot most hallow'di shrine most blsst
Where every pebble, wild-hower, pihue
Oh common grass is sacred made
The Mecca Of the Christian West.

And half mankind with foreheads how'd
Moist tributes pay, and homage meet.

The stir of leaves and song OF birds
Move more than eloquence OF words:
In silence there's pathetic sound

With step majestic, look serene,
Methinks still hovers. On his brow
Sits awful sadness Wherefore thisf

What evil threats my country now
His countenance is pale, as when,
Amid the strife of parting breath,
The dolor and the dew of DEATH
His spirit passed; and now, as then,
A mystic horror shakes each leaf
OF all the wood while Freedom speaks,
And fills the air with sobs and shrieks,
AS conscious of some awful grief.
Oh, that the men the people choose,
Leaving the halls OF fierce debate,
Would hither come to mediate, ..
And gather wisdom while they muse.
Musing beside heroic dust
Fondly revolve heroic deeds.
Until it emulation breeds
To be as lofty and as just.

PINE HILL, March A, 1854.
DEAR Sin: l have been subject of Dyspepsia, in
its worst FORM for the last five years. Such my
condition for twelve months that the physicians and
all who saw me said / must die. While in this con-
dition was carried to the watering places in Vir-
ginia Tennessee and North Carolina, but was not
benefited by any water to which was taken. While
on my way home stopped a week at Rutherfordton,
n small village in North Carolina to try the effect of
some Chalybrate water in that place. About the last
of the week went into drug store to get some med
icine for my child and myself There were several
of the village physicians in the store and one of them
seemed to take some interest in my case, and after
asking me some questions, said he had been dys-
peptic, and had been greatly benefited by the use
Hollands German Bitters,' prepared by ysu, and
he insisted that would try the Bitters. He also
called the next day at my ROOM and insisted much
that would try them that asked him to get me
one bottle. He did it, and commenced taking it as
directed, and benefited by it than all the
water and medicine / had ever taken.
After reaching home, one Of my neighbors came to
me for prescription and medicine, Che dyspeptic)
and gave him nearly all the Btters had left, which
effected much good in his case He has often called
on me for more Of the y-e kind of medicine, saying
he was more benefited by it than any other he had
TAKEN but have not been able to get any more for
him or myself since Will you, therefore, please ship
me dozen more as soon as possible.
