ODD Fellows CELEBRATIoN.-The Odd
Fellows of this place design celebrating the
anniversary of the introduction of Odd Fell
lowship into America, on the 26th of April
next; at which time, also, there will be a
dedication Of their new hail. The celebra-
tion will be got up in good style, SO that all
the brethren in the county can participate in
it. We believe that Mt the great national
jubilee of the Order last year, it was recom-
mended that annual observances of the day
be held at some point in each county.
