NOTION NENrr

ODD FELLOWS CELFBEAT1nE
The weather early yesterday morning nartook of
just that description of dubetv wherein. oninions
being evenly balanced, hopes and wishes decide e
favorable event. But the wind was east and
hopes and wishes. however strong, atailed nothin1
against ''the peltng of the pitiless' shower Tins
it was that from over all the District from Alexan-
dria and Baltimore took place so large gathering
of the brethren banded together in the interest of
the sacred triad, Friendship, Love, and Truth, :"
to celebrate the commencement here of a ''local
habitatiOn" and q home.
Having undertaken the measure it was perse.
vered in, and the programme faithfully adher-
ed to, from the meeting at the City Hall to the
grand conclusion, without change or abatement,
although the rain poured in manner calculated to
damp the warmest ardOr. We estimate that there
were about nine hundr ed brethren out in regalia.
not more than half of whom Joined in that part of
the procession which went to Georgetown. On tie
return thence the appointed ceremonies took place
at the hall of the Smithsonian Institution occunv-
ing abount an hour. The Grafton of ID. G. NJ VIM
ii. loung, Of Maryland, was chas.e, elegant and
appropriate, and gave great satisfaction Return
ing from the Smithsonian the brethren repaired to
the Assembly Rooms, on Louisiana avenue, where
a welcome collation. had been spread, under the di-
rection of Mr. C. Columbus chief caterer. to which
ample honor was speedily done. The brethren dis
missed about hafpast o'clock -
Subsequently, between eight and nine o'clock a
large company began to gather at Odd Fellows
Hall, all the saloons in which spacious budino were
thrown open. The main saloon was decorated with
the flags of all nations; the Stars and Stripes gar
nished with emblems of Odd Fellowship Occupyinr
the centre In the north room, third story Esputa's
band furnished music, and in the south room,
qrartette band. Though the evening was as in
clement as the day, the main hall was crowded by
ladies' and gentlemen, and at ten o'clock the CAV
dance commenced, and advancing as we write this
On the whole, it must be said that few people
would have persevered as did the Odd Fellows YES
terday in the face of such untOward circumstances
as the weather produced. Had the weather been
favorable, the occasion would have undoubtedly far
surpassed every thing of the kind that has preceded
it. We ought not perhaps to omit remarking that
Fast Grand Sire Widey, of Baltimore, the founder
OF the Order in this country, present at all the
proceedings of the day.
