On Thursday last our city was honored
by procession Of Odd Fellows. Their
new hall in Clarke's building, Masonic
Block, was completed, and the brothers
arranged to dedicate it. We had the honor
Of complimentary to the dedication and
the supper: thank you, gentlemen. The
procession was large one, the largest we
ever saw outside of eastern cities The
Band-God bless that Band, sny way
how could we dispense with it?- The
Band, we were saying, preceded the long
column of Odds, all rugged in appropriate
costume, some with red, some blue, some
white regalias; they looked very well in
deed. The proceedings in the hall we did
not witness, owing to a forgetfulness OF
the hour of assemblage and the conse.
quent absence of our best clothes-of
course we want to look nice when we 20
into tip-top company.
Well, all the ODDs, and the public too,
assembled at the Cambrian to hear the
Address of Orlando McCraney, ESQ.,, who,
in the absence Of the District Deputy
Grand Master, D1- if We get the titles
wrong, don't blame us) was compelled to
oct as orator. The Band did most excel
lent music, delighting all who were pres
ent, and receiving rounds of cheers at the
conclusion of each speech. Mr.. McCra-
ney spoke about an hour, and if he were
not our townsman, long acquaintance,
and a bitter opponent in politics, We would
say we never heard better address. The
words were well, yes, elegantly chosen !;
the sentiments beautiful and the delivery
good.
The Hall IL not constructed for oratory
and Nc does not pretend to eloquencc.-
We learned from that lecture that the Odd
Fellows, Immediately after the surrender

Cheek.
A radical cuss sends us The Bellville
(lll.) Adrocats," of which he is editor, &c.
He encloses circular-in violation of
Postofdce laws-in which he proposes to
send us "a column or two of readable mat
ter in the style Of literary letters" provided
we will exchange with him and publish
S25 to $50 Of advertisements for which he
gets paid. As the literary letters are
puffs Of eastern publications he is paid for
them also.
Firstly, we can get up a newspaper with
! out the aid Of G.. F. Kimball, the ed. of the
-idrocatc. Nextly, the man is too great a
goose to publish paper: in his local items
he says, ave saw John Frankenstein at
the corner Of Sd street talking with three
ladies'; he seemed to enjoy himself" This
and similar locals as fat if not fatter must
have been very interesting to the Bellville
people.
The Erie Railway Company send us
nearly column Of displayed advertisement
which they wish kept standing, with "oc-
casional local notices." and in considera-
ton of all this they will allow the editors
ga limited number Of passes ~ over their
their road. When we 60 to New York We
ride on the Pitts. L Fl. Wayne to Pittsburgh
and thence through Pennsylvania as we
please. Keep your passes, Mr.. VIM. r.

J. Birch / Co., Of Williamsburgh, N. Y,
propose to send US Gold watch valued at
SEC. and a breast pin worth $40 if we will
remit them, in advance, 50. 80 for each gift.
Send on your "gifts,' gentlemen, and if
we rather like them the money will be sent
you. Too bad, though, isn't it, to take
800 from Birch & Co. for the paltry sum of
$500!
A new monthly proposes to exchange
with us if we will advertise about $50
for them and notice regularly the hour the
editor takes his meals and his drinks, and
also give monthly description of the wa
terfall Of the lady who presides over the

A Library.
For many years The TINES has "jawed"
this city about a Library, a Lyccum and
Fire Engine. We have done our duty but
the public wouldn't listen. A Fire Com
pany we despair Of till the balance of the
wooden part of the city is in ashes and
then possibly our Rip-Van-Winkle burgh-
ers will wake up to the Importance of some
means ofprotcction against the ''devouring
element
VIC have also urged the importance Of
Library--have offered to give valuable
books, and money il need be, to &c, one up,
but our repeated appeals have thus far met
with Indifference. While other cities less
in size than ours, and even villages have
their libraries, their literary associations,
their regular winter lectures we bear the
reproach of having nothing of the kind.
This is not good name for McGregor and
we now hope that a lead has been struck
at last. Joel W. Van Orman, Esq, has
been about town considerably to see what
may be done and he reports a first rate
feeling of liberality. Many of US have
books that are scarcely opened in twelve
months except for reference; such books
may just as we'll be in public library as
in a private parlor. Many of our books
have been read by the owners and laid
away in sort Of tomb to be resurrected
by an auctionser after the death Of the
present owner. Why not make liberal
deposit for public good and the use Of
the young of many valuable volumes now
kept only for show and to catch dust ?
This city can get up 1000 volumes easily
out Of private libraries alone and we trust
Van Orman will stay with the cause till the
affair is fairly On foot.
On next Friday evening there will be a
meeting Of citizens at Odells Office to COM
mence the work. Let old and young at
tend. A liberal share Of our books and o
dollar or two in money are ready. Go for
them, JOEL!

School Election.

School Election.
The election for school officers on Mon
day, was very animated. The caucus of
tho Depocrats placed full ticket in the
field. A. j. Jordan for President: J..
Seals for Vice President; D. Baugh for
Secretary L. Benton. Jr. for Treasurer
and Geo. Keene for Director. Mr.. Keenc
is not regarded as party man. Our tick
ct was headed Democratic School Ticket
The Republicans denounced the associa-
ton of party with the election and got up
ticket exclusively Republican except Mr..
Keene, who, as before stated, was under
stood to be Indifferent to party SUCCESS
For President, W. /. Gilchrist; Vice
President james +. Bassett; Secretary A.
j. Glass; Treasurer II. f. Newell Di-
rector Geo. Keene.
Four hundred votes were cast. Jor-
dams majority, 81; Seals, 81; Baugh's,
81 +; Bonton's, AS; Keene 397. School
House Fund-7ro mills.
1t is due to candor to say that there was
not strict party vote. Many gentlemen
Of the Republican party were active in
support Of Mr.. Benton, and the election
was, with many persons, a mere matter of
personal preference. Just here we would
also say, that in the Corporation election
of last Monday, the candidates for Mayor
were both democrats-one, regular, the
other Independent, and the result, of
course, was nothing to make noise about.
We know that McGregor is democratic
when it votes, but at the same time we
know many republicans who voted for the
successful candidate for Mayor, be-
cause they had no candidate Of their own.
Mr.. Drummond, Republican and very
competent officer, was elected Marshal
he must have recci-ed democratic votes to
have succeeded. When the election is
over let blowing and growing cease.
