GRAND Lopez I. o. OF g. I. - We visited
Independence on Tuesday, August 18th, TO-
attend the annual session OF the Grand Lodge
of Good Templars, for the year 1860. We
found large number of delegates from all
parts of the State, who had come up to devise
means for the prosperity Of the Order and
the furtherance of the Temperance cause.
Among the number, (without desiring to be
invidious) we will mention Hons. Elijah
Sells and J. W. Oattell, Messrs. Leach, Nc
Crary and Delaplain, of Keokuk; besides
many Others of equal promise in temperance
circles. The large attendance, exhibiting
very forcibly the great and increasing inter-
est felt over our State in this noble reform.
The session continued three full days, ard
large amount of business was transacted.
The reports of the Grand Lodge Officers
show the order to be in excellent condition.
A considerable debt has been removed du-
ring the past year the membership increas-
ed to 5000, and altogether the evidence is
most conclusive that the Order is established
in Iowa upon an enduring basis.
In addition to Mr.. Detwiler, who has been
so indefatigable and successful in his efforts
to organize new Lodges, other talented and
efficient lecturers have been placed in the
field, and system of tract distribution in
stituted, which will no doubt tell largely
upon the success and prosperity Of the Order
ia the coming year. The next session will
be held at Iowa City.-Cedar Tallsy News.
Fatal AooIDENr.--We regret to announce
that child of Mr.. Isaac Phillips, aged about
II months, was drowned, by falling into a
wash tub, at his residence near Col. John s.
