Odd Fellows Celebration.

The Odd Fellows, of this city, celebrated,
yesterday, the fortieth anniversary of the
foundation of the Order in the United States
Forming procession, with music and ban
ners and the insignia of the Order, they
marched from their Hall on Third street in
fine style. and proceeded through the princi-
pal streets Of the city, attracting the gaze of
large coucourse of people. Arriving at the
Theater, they took their seats in the par.
quette while the Orator and Poet Of the Day,
together with a Select Choir for the occasion.
composed of some Of the choice male and fe
male singers of Marysyille). as well as the
Reverend Clergy Of the city and invited
guests, assembled the stage and seated then
selves according to previous preparation.-
After music by the band and choir, the Poet
of the Day, DIR. c. A. IIathwell arose and de
livered a poem, prepared for the occas on
which was a highly creditable production and
well received Following another interlude
OF music, Ben. E. s Ely, Esq, advanced to
the altar and pronounced, in an exceedingly
graceful manner, one of the most splendid
and eloquent oratons that it has ever been
our fortune to listen to. 1t abounded in
beautiful thoughts, striking imagery and pro
found reasoning 1t was an honor to the
head and heart which produced it. We had
designed publishing both the Poem and the
Grafton. but the very considerable length OF
the latter and the delay in furnishing us the
copy prevents us from doing so, without ex-
cluding our usual resume of the current news
of the day. However, they were both listen
ed to by so large and brilliant an assemblage
of citizens and strangers, that the onission OF
their publication will not be felt to such an
extent as would otherwise have been the case.
At the conclusion of these performances, the
procession again formed. re-mnrched through
the principal streets and assembled in their
Hall, while the spectators and listeners re-
tired to their several places of abode.
At their Hall the Fraternity passed the fol.
lowing resolutions;
Resolved, That the thanks of the Order be and
they are hereby rendered to the Poet and Orator
of the Day for the eloquent and beautiful Poem
and Address wirh which they graccd the occasion
of our Celebration, and that they be requested to
furnish copies for publication.
Resolced, That our thanks be and they are
hereby rendered to the Grand Marshal, Officers
and Clergy for their kind assistance.
Resolred, That our thanks be and they are
hereby rendered to }. s. Eshom for the use of the
Theater, and to the Choir for their services.
Resolped That this meeting adjourn to meet at
the Pavilion at O'Clock, p. NJ.
At night, the Ball, which was the cap
sheaf of .he occasion, opened in the Pavilion
in Cortez Square, and was one of the gayest
and most magnificent assemblages ever gath
cred within those walls. The hall was filled
with the laughing, sparkling, joyous throng,
and the enlivening dance went on till the
hours seemed winged with happiness and
rapture knew no bounds. Long will this
celebration be remembered by its hundreds of
participants as one Of the red letter days of
their existence.

The Murder of Mrs. Cline.

It will be remembered that on the evening
of the 18th n woman named Mrs. Cline was
found dead at her house at Angels under
circumstances which led to the belief that
she had been murdered. A correspondent OF
the Alta, writing from the above named To-
calitv, gives the following in relation to the
mur er:
Shortly after the large fire at Columbia
nigh two wears ago, Frenchwoman, VINO
had her property burnt up, came to TINS
place and set up business. Some two months
ago, she married a young man by the name
of Cline, W 10 was then, and probably Is yet
mining ut Big Oak Flat, working claims tha'
belonged to her For some time past she has
not been seen, and it was supposed that she
had gone to live with Cline but circumstan'
ces creating a suspicion in the minds OF some
neighbors that all was not right they con-
cluded, last night, to break open the house.
There the woman was found dead This
morning, Justice Tate, acting as coroner, call
ed jury and proceeded to hold an inquest
Drs. Boone and Kelly examined the body,
but found no wounds that could produce
death, there being only slight bruise on the

ed by heavy boot. The body was found in
a sitting posture ON the floor, leaning against
one of the doors, the arms and legs being
straightened out Putrefaction had already
commenced. Her trunks were standing open.
and, to all appearance had been runmaged.
On chair was some Ied dirt, as if some one
had been standing on it, and just above it,
along the eve, the lining over head had been
ripped a little over foot in length. Her
watch iewelry and some little money, was
found il, one of the trunks. 1t appears from
papers found that she was born 1912 in Ham
burg,l and her name was Marie Harriet
Geetra. Last December she was stung 10y 4
scorpion on one of her fingers; she then made
a will, which was found, written in French
In this she gave to Cline all of her property
excepting what was in the house, which
she gave to Mrs Douglass, her washer wo-
man-and three hundred dollars in money
which she was to send to Orleans, IN France,
to some relatives The will was particular
in stating where her property was, except
the money. that she stated she would tell Mr..
Cline. A letter written in English was
found, dated April lst, 1859. This was writ
ten to Cline. and was very affectionate in its
tone: it spoke of their troubles, and of their
claims not paying. or he could soon pay off
his debts; it said she had no money, but
would 20 to Valecito the next day, and try
and get some from the old doctor She no
doubt came to her death that night and the
evidence seems to be that she was probably

Galena Hill, Yuba county.
Accompanying the above were slice of the hyme-

Perpetual Harmony their bed attend,
And Venus still the well-matched pair befriend
May she, when Time has sunk him into years,
Love her old man. and cherish his white hairs
Nor he perceive her charms through age decay,
But think each happy Sun his bridal day

AN IMPROVEMENT IN Mining. We are g,oa
to see so many companies of miners using cal
vanized iron tubing to convey water to their
claims for mining purposes We are certain
that all who try the experiment will not re-
gret doing so-as it is both cheaper-bet er
more durable. and easier put up than the
old wooden spouts, which are always leaking
getting out of level, warping, or tumbling
down-being constant source of yexation
and annoyance. whereas the tubing may Law

the water TO any height equal to where il
enters it. The sun never warps it, it needs
no caulking and is decidedly an improve

directly after the conclusion of the perform

that man named Evans, who holds forth at
Long Bar, hired son Of the Emerald Isle not
long ago to work in mining claim at 81 a
day, the stipulated wages to be paid up to a
certain time and afterwards made contingent
on the claims paying. The claim did not
pay, and Evans declined forking over the 81
per day. The Irish gentlem IN and his en-
ployer met, yesterday, at the place and time
mentioned aud the former used language to-
wards the latter not at all agreeable to the
delicate structure of his tympanum; where
upon Evans sailed in" and was about to
make free with the Emeralder's cOrporosity.
but the crowd prevented. After the lapse of
second or two, the Emeralder ierked up an
empty champagne basket, and, making for
Evans. with dire intent, threatened to kill
him with the weapon "then and there held in
his right hand" Just at this iuncture. the
crowd again interposed and saved Evans from
being beat to death with champagne bas-
ket. So ended the defckuLtg.
