odd FeIIn,rs, Celebration.

The forteth anniversary OF the introduction
of Odd Fellowship into the United States, was
celebrated yesterday, in style worthy Of the
Order. The day was pleasant, and had the
weather been made to order it could not have
been improved. The town was full of stran-
gers, great number not belonging to the Or
der having come In to witness the ceremonies.
We believe all the Lodges of the county took part
in the celebration. About two O'Clock in the
afternoon the members of the Order met at the
Court House, formed in procession, and accom-
panied by two excellent brass bands, marched
through the principal streets. About two hun
dred and ifty persons turned out in the process
sion. They then proceeded to the pavilion,
erected for the purpose, where appropriate GER
esmonies were held, and the grafton delivered
by A. A. Sargent, Esq.
Extensive preparations were made for the
ball which came off in the evening, but we go
press at too early an hour 10 speak of the eve
ning's amusement. From the great number of
ladies in town yesterday, VIC judge it was the
most numsrously attended ball that ever came
off in this place. The pavilion is Of sufficient
capacity to accommodate from thirty to forty
quadrlle sets, aud we have no donbs that the
floor will be fully occupied until near daylight.
The supper was prepared by NJ. Chauval, OF
fhe Hotel de Paris, in style that could not be
cxeelled and the tables were spread in the un-
occupied Baptist Church, on Spring street.
From our exchanges, we notice that the Odd
Fellows have been making extensive prepara-
tions to celebrate the 26th of April in almost
every county of the State, and it was doubtless
made grand gala day by the Order through
out the Union.

UrsEr.-The Grass Valley stage was upset
Yesterday, just this side of Weiss Brewery
Twenty-four passengers we're on the stage at
the time, fifteen of whom were on the top. Inc
horses were going on the walk, aud the stage
tilted over so gradually that only one passenger
was injured. Mrs. Randall, lady from Rough
L Ready, received pretty severe cut on 'ne
forehead.

SERIOUS ACcIDEyT.-A miner named Moses
st. Johns was seriously injured at Gold Hill,
last Monday morning. He had commenced
work that morning in the claims of Daniel
Keefe & Co., and while standing in a narrow
cut, boulder fell against his left Leg pressing
il against the rock bank, and mangling the leg
below the knee in shocking manner. The
muscle was torn off, and the large bone mashed
to splinters. DR.. r. NJ. Hunt, of this place,
was Immediately sent for, who rendered every
possible surgical aid, but it is feared that :he
limb will have to be amputated. Two of the
arteries of the leg had been cut, but were SO
filled with gravel that the blood did not flow
until they were cleaned ont by the Doctor Mr..
St. Johns went to Gold Hill from Grass Val
ley. on Sunday. aud had only worked in the
claims about an hour when the accident hap
pcEed.

CRY ELECTI0N.-The notice OF the annual
election for city officers will be found in anoth-
er column. According to the charter, tie no
ticc should hare been published ten days pre-
vous to the election This was not done in
the present instance, but the oversight will
have no effect upon the legality of the cleo
tion-thc Supreme Court having decided that
an omission by the proper officer to give the
notice required, does not nvalidate the returns
Thus far but little interest seems to have been
taken in the result, aud from present appear
ances a light vote will be polled. The names
of the regular Democratic nominees will be
found in another column, and no movement has
been made, that we are aware of. TO bring out
an opposition ticket. For the Office of Marshal,
Messrs J. L. Williamson and ]. @. Malbon are
announced as Independent candidates
THEATRIcAL.-Th The Nevada Theater will be
opened this evening by Mr.. Anderson and Miss
Morant, who will be supported by one OF The
best stock companies in the State. As an ac-
tor Mr.. Anderson is so well known, by reputa-
tion at least, that il s needless for us to say
any thing 10 his behalf his reputation as a
tragedan is second to none in the Union. The
play of Hamlet is announced for the first
evenings entertainment. We learn that there
is already great demand for tickets. and ma
nv seats we're secured yesterday. As the COM
pany remains only one week, we have no doubt
the Theater will be crowded every evening.

LOVE AND WISDOM.
BY JAMES GREGOR GRANT.


Love and Wisdom though it may be, they are twins
of Heavenly birth,
And in Heaven sister angels, are sisters upon
earth!
Seldom falls the smile of wisdom upon love s
impassion'd thrill,
Seldom comes the happy bridal of the reason and
the will.
Not always sweetness, goodness, worth, the charm
of mutual minds,
Nor even bcauty's trcacherOus self the chain OF
passion binds;
A power occult-a sympathy genial or perverse,
Still draws the yielding spirit to its blessing or its
In friendships milder dream of joy-perchance
not all dream
Some little ground pale reason gives for liking and
esteem,
Some little help the fabric boasts from wisdom $
shaping hand,
Some little promise knowledge gives, that It's not
built sand
Butlove, stormy vision, comes, fierce sweepingly
and blind,
And reason, wisdom, knowledge, sll scatter d
to the wind
For loving unloving thing, all earthly things
above,
\ woman's reason serves alOne-''we love because
We love-"

"Pat," said our friend.

"If the devil were to come, just now, which one
of us would he take?' s..
''Sure, he'd take me, yer honor ...
"But why, Pat!"

HITTING THE DoCTORs.-The Providence Jour-

Med Fac What have they been doing to our co
temporary? We quote from one number:
"John did Mrs. Green get the medicine Or
dered 2" 81 guess 81" replied John, ''for saw
Grape on the door the next morning"
The venerable lady of celebrated physician,
one day casting her eye out of the window, observ-

his patients, at which she exclaimed: II do wish
my husband would keep away from such process

SWISS COUNTING.

In Switzerland, when a girl has arrived at
manageable aye, the young men OF the village
assemble by consent on given nj Sht at the gallery
of the chalet in Whieh-the fair one resides. This
creates no manner of surprise in the mind of her
parents, who not only wink at the practice but
are never better pleased than when the charms of
their daughter attract the greatest number of
admirers. Their arrival is soon announced by
sundry taps at the different windows. After the
family in the house has been reused and dressed,
(for the scene usually takes place at midnight,
when they have all retired to rest the windows
of the room prepared for the occasion, in which
the girl is first alone, is opened. Thea parley
commences, rather boiserous description each
man in turn urges his suit with all the eloquence
and art of which he is possessed. The fair one
hestates, doubts, asks questions, but comes to no
decision. She then invites the party to partake of
!. repast of cakes and kirschwasser, which is
prepared fer them on the bacony--Indeed, this
entertainment, with the strong of the cherry, forms
Il prominent feature in the proceedings Of the
night.
After having RECALLED themselves for some time
during which and through the window she has
made use of all the witchery Of womans art she
iegns desire to get rid OF them, and will call her
parents to accomplish this object. The youths,
however, not to be put off, for according to the
custom of the country, they have here for the
express purpose of compelling her, on that night,
there and then, to make up her mind, and to
declare the object of her choice.
At length, after further parley her heart is
touched at least she pretends is by the favored
swain. After certain preliminaries between the
girl and the parents h,r over IS admitted thro Ugh
the window, where the alliance is signed and sealed
but not delivered, in the presence of both father
aud mother. BY consent of all parties, the cere-
mony is not to extend beyond couple of hours
NChn afr hrs

hope that ut the next tournament of lOve-making

EXTRAvAGANCE INTERFERING WITH MARRI-
AGE.-It is a pretty well established conviction
that the extravaganza of these times in dress,
housekeeping matters, &c, tends to the proven
ton of marriage. Shrewd young men are careful
clothing of young women. As an Instance, the
Cincinnati Enquirer has been furnished, by the
Clerk of the Probate Court, with the number
of marriage licenses issued in Hamilton county,
during the last eight years, which show falling
off in 1859 from 1852, of 275, and from 1854, of
93S. When we consider that the population Of
the city has probably augmented $4,000 during
the eight years, this decrease is very remarkable,
and well calculated to alarm the advocates Of we'd
lock.

VEGETABLE DIET.-At meeting of the Amc-
rican Vegetarian Society, in Philadelphia, on
Wednesday, some of the brethren submitted their
experience. Rev. DIR. Metealf pastor of the Bible
Christian Church, said he had been practical
vegetarian for so years, and now IS years old.
In his younger days he was printer, and pulled
eight tokens day Washington hand press
with ease, without ever touching meat, fish or fowl
He now enjoyed as good health as other persons of
his age generally do. A Mr. Rodolphe Poole, an
Englshman by birth, wearing hunting coat, drab
pants, with pair of heavy fskernan's boots, which
covered half his thighs, and having bronzcd,
Horid complexion, related his experience as veg
etarian. he had travelled oyer half the world, in
climates where the thermometer was up to $50 de-
grees, had mined in Australia up to his waist in
water during ali which time he had subsisted on
vegetable diet, and believed it abundantly capable
of sustaining man performing the hardest labor
The decease of DIR. Aleott, the President of tho
Society. during the year, deeply regretted, as
he was one of the main pillars Of the vegetarian
cause in the United States
