Odd Fellowship-Its Rise and
Progress-The Celebration.

Odd Fellowship mas lor ltS maih
object the mutual benefit of its mem
bers, in the diffusion and practical
application of the great principles
of benevolence and charity By Its
thorough and practical system of
benevolence-its broad and compre-
hensive view of mans brotherhood,
and the duties each owes to the 9th
er by reason thereof-the organiza-
ton is doing a work in the world
second only to that of the Church of
Christ. Odd Fellowship and Free
masonry bear general resemblance,
and both, in the noble work to s'ele-
vate humanity in the scale of being;
to relieve its wants, to assuage the
sorrows of the suffering, to relieve
the distressed, to protect the widow,
to educate the orphan, and to bury
the dead" has obtained and now
possesses the commentator and
goodwill ef all sympathetic hearts
the world over.
Odd Fellowship was. first INTRO
duced into this country by Thomas
W. Wildey, on the 26th day of April,
1919. The first lodge was established
in Baltimore. There are five degrees
in Odd Fellowship, as follows
s'First, the White degree; second,
the Covenant Degree; third, the Roy
al Blue Degree; fourth, the Remem-
brance Degree; fifth, the Scarlet De-
gree. To these were added, by the
Grand Lodge of the United States
in September 1851, the Degree of
Rebekah, which is conferred on
members of the Scarlet Degree and
on their wives"
The Order has its Grand Lodge of
the United States, composed of rep
resentatiHes elected by the State
Grand Lodges; its State Grand
Lodge, formed of Past Grands, not
less than five in number; and its sub
ordinate lodges. 1t has also, an in
stitution called the Grand Encamp-
ment, whose members are termed
patriarchs.
The Odd Fellows require dues
from their members to the amour:
generally of from four to ten dol
lars year, pay to the sick weekly
allowance, and assign stated sum
for the burial expenses of member
or members wife. A member may
withdraw at any time, on application
and by paying up all arrearages,
either to unite with any other lodge,
or entirely from the order.
Odd Fellowship in the United
States, from its organization forty
eight years ago, when it had but one
lodge, and that composed of but five
members, has expanded into wonder
full proportions. The following
statistics of the Order, complied
from the annual report of June 30,
1866, shows its magnitude

Of his Office unsolicited, and that to per-
sons who had no right to them' By
what authority did you, Mr.. Auditor
send away such documents, when, if
You read the public prints, yOs must
have known that they would be wanted
at the next term of the Kanawha Cir
cult Court And why did you send
them to a " friend 2" If Mr.. MOORE
was innocent, why did you need the
services of a go-between'' Evidently
authority was satisfied of her favorite's
guilt, and felt that immediate inter
course with him involved some ugly
possibilities. Hence the interposition
of third party. Had there been moth
ing wrong in the transaction, the COM
munication with Mr.. MOORE should, and
doubtless would, have been direct.
Mr.. McWHoRTER's excuse that the
grand jury had fonnd Mr.. MOORE
guiltless of fclOniOus intent is shabby
one ut best. How could they deter
mine his intent wher the Auditor fail
ed to lay before them the proofs in his
possession 7 How does he know that
they deemed MOORE innocent of fraud 7
He says he was so Uniformed !" Was
he so much interested as to inquire Or
did some "friend" of himself and the
fOrger volunteer the satisfactory infOr-
mationl We believe that the grand
jrry never decided Mr.. MOORE innocent.
The members were impOrtuned to sign
statements TO that effect, and most Of
them refused. We make this assertion
upou the same authority that we made
the original charge. We believe we are
correct in this, as we were in the three
instances.
The Auditors concluding claim that
MoORE's admissions, to which We refer
red, might have justified an indictment
had the Grand Jury regarded his pur-
poses as fraudulent, is hardly worthy OF
notice. MOORE's admissions were made
after the adjournment of the Court, as
Mr.. MCWUoRTER is doubtless aware.
We leave this case in the hands Of
the public. That it is serious one for
the delinquents, the fact of Mr.. NC
WHoITER's reply is ample evidence.
That it is damning one for himself and
his official character, the admissions of
his card make too clear for doubt.
R.gretting, as much as any one can,
the occasion that called our strict
ures forth and the unhappy frail-
ties it has developed, we will
congratulate the lovers of honest Gov
ernment upon the evidences of Radical
corruption and rottenness which this
case has placed before them. One by
one, the great infamies with which Rad
icalism has disgraced this State are be-
ing brought to light, and with each sue
ceeding revelation, the day of final de-
liverance draws nigh.

CURE FOR DRUNKENNEss.-It is stated
on high medical authority, that half
teaspoonfull of the official liquor am
monia properly diluted will usually
dissipate the violence Of the symptoms
of intoxication. We suppose that when
people are drunk they are apt to con-
suit doctors; but the value of the above
mentioned remedy might be easily test
ed at the police station sometimes.

Last Sunday afternoon, Il fisherman,
living on the bank of the river, near
st. Louis, discovered boy, fifteen years
of age, on the sand near the water,
writhing in convulsions. The boy had
taken q bath in the river, and then
dressed himself and swallowed strych-
nine. Before taking the fatal dose he
had written his name on the wet sand.
The fisherman took him to his house
and sent for physician, under whose
treatment the sufferer partially recov-
cred, but died about 10 o'clock the same
night. The unfortunate proved to be a
druggists clerk named Henry Tysack,
who killed himself because his employ
er would not release him from his ap-
premiership until he reached twenty
one. Tysack was an orphan, and his
mother also committed suicide some
years ago.

The Ceoss.own Murder -Further Par.
firutara

The murder of John Evans, at Cooks
town, Fayette county, o. Friday night
last, created great sensation among
the inhabitants of that place, and but
for the interference of some prominent
citizens, Fleming, Britton and Connor,
the alleged murderers, would have been
lynched on the spot. On Sunday last,
they were removed to the Jail in Union
town, where they will remain until the
next term of Court. Although neither
of them is over twenty years of age,
they bear the reputation of being hard
ened criminals. Fleming is n nephew
of Charlotte Jones, who was executed
in this city some years ago, and has
been residing for some time in the
house where Houseman was killed by
Thairwell last summer. While on his
way to Jail Fleming confessed to the
murder, but denied having been person
ally engaged in it. He stated that
Evans, who was known by the appella-
tion of yankee John," was first made
drunk and then enticed to the river,
where couple of RATS were tied up. A
board led from the RATS to the shore,
and while crossing this plank, he was
struck on the temple with a stone by
one of the party, knocking him into the
river. Evans eXtricated himself, and
while crawling up the bank, was kick
ed in the face by another of the
wretches, when he rolled back into the
water and was drowned. Two of the
party then went up the river, and pro-
curing skiff, came back to the raft,
and towed the body of the murdered
man into the middle of the stream and
sunk it. DR.. Gordon, who held a post
mortem examination on the body, testi-
fled before the Coroner's jury that
Evans was not dead when thrown into
the river, but had drowned. Evans,
apparently, was not murdered for
money, having but two dollars and
fifty cents in his possession when he
left his home in Washington county in
the morning, portion of which was
found in his pockets. 1t is supposed
that he was killed for having warned
drover, who was stopping in the place,
of conspiracy to assault and rob him
by these parties, he having overheard
them arrange their plans. John Shaw,
one of the alleged murderers, was traced
to Lock No. 4, on the Monongahela
river, and is supposed to be lurking in
that vicinity. The pelice are on his
track, and 1t is hoped that they may
succeed in arresting him, as he APP
pears to have been the principal in the
PittsbHry Paper.
