The ODD FELLOWS CELEBRATION IN Wash
ington, on Tuesday notwithstanding the IL
cemency Of the weather, was we'll attended,
and passed off very happily. There were
large numbers of visiting brethren from
Alexandria and Baltimore. Two of the
Lodges aud the Eocampment from this place,
were in the procession, and made very
handsome appearance. There were about
nine hundred brethren out in regaiia. The
appoiuted ceremonies took place at the hail
OF the Smithsonian Institution. The ora
ton of ID. G. NJ. VIM. III. Young, Of Mary
land, was chaste, elegant, and appropriate,
and gave great satisfaction. Returning from
the Smithsonian, the brethren repaired to the
Assembly Rooms, on Louisiana avenue,
where welcome collation. had been spread.
At night, there was splendid ball. Had
the weather been favorable, the occasion
would have undoubtedly far surpassed every
thing of the kind that has preceded it.
Past Grand Sire Widey, Of Baltimore, the
fjunder of the Order in this cou try, was
present at all the proceedings Of the day.
