The ANNUAL FESTIVAL OF COLUMBIA LODGE,
No. 10, I. o. o. F.-Columbia Lodge, we believe,
was the first, or among the irst to establish that
delightful institution, the Odd Fellows Levee,
now every where so popular. This popularity is
founded on solid grounds, and Is likely to endure
and increase. The annual festival brings to-
gether Odd Fellows and their families and friends
in pleasant social reunion, and has the benifcent
effect Of associating the old and the Young and
demonstrating that they can have enjoyments i'm
common. The old are made to feel that they a re
not IN Tue way merely because they are old.
young America has habit of limiting. and the
young are permitted the fullest exercise of inno-
cent enjoyment with the pleasure hei o hte ned
by the knowledge that loving parents and friends
are made happy in seeing their happiness The
order maintained at such festivals we need hard.
ly say, is admirable, rowdy ventures to
show his face AT a place where the members of a
powerful and influential organization are on hand
individually and collectively to punish the slight
est attempt to interrupt the all-pervading good
feeling.
The programme for the Festival of Monday
night presents a variety Of attractions. There
are to be addresses by Hon Reuben r. Fenton
and Rev. ]. e. Cranberry; distribution Of gifts to
the orphans under charge Of the Lodge by the
Grand MasteI; singing by an amateur Quartette
party and fine music (including original
march) by w ithers's Band Refreshments will
be served up, and upon the conclusion Of the
early programme, the room will be cleared for
dancing purposes, for the benefit Of those so in
clined. This is rich and inviting prog ramme,
indeed, and will certainly I'LL the Hall to its ca
pacity.

duly serenaded him; and the President made a
lew remarks in response to the compliment most
happy and appropriate to the occasion.
IN THE HURRY Of making up the form yester-
daya portion OF the following item was trans
posed, making 1t rather unintrllgible:
"lSToLERABLE.--iti is Well known that nine
tfnihs OF tue pauper population maintained by
our citizens are non-rrsidentS, and that regular
system OF pac king snch Migrants upon WASHING

and towns elsewhere. This is bad enough but
II is certainly intolerable when our neig hbors
send their destitute here infected by loathsome
contagious disease. few nights since a man
who had the small pOx, dragged himself on foot
from Alexandria To this city, whence, he said, he

as this Is as near first class villainy as one can

OF Health resisting any such course
The Government pays for the maintenance Of
all such cases of sickness among mariners who
pay The hospital tax, and in ordinary cases they
are taken to the Infirnlary; but in cases of com-
