or tne SuuDury hmetiooh'l
NoRTuuMBERLAND.-Wash birthday was
celebrated in Northumberland by dinner, parade
and address, on the part Of the Odd Fellows, and by
Festival on the part of the ladies Of the New School
Presby erian Church. the latter providing the din
ner for the former tatr
Three lodges were fully, and some others par
italy represented. The address was defence Of
Odd Fellowship as mutual benefit association, and
not as charitable institution the latter chnractors-
tic being expressly disclaimed. 1t had the rare
merit of being brief A hymn, appropriate to the
occasion, was finely sung by the choir of the New
School Presbyterian Church. 1t is only just to say
that for careful practice and good singing this choir
excels any other in the town. .
In the Ladies' Festival a pair Of ivory gavels
were voted to the Williamsport lodge Of Odd Fellows
On Friday evening, and on Monday evening, the
festival was disturbed and the whole community
disgraced by rioous conduct the part of intoxi-
Gated men. Northumberland needs very much a
temperance reform, and it is devoutly to be hoped
that the example recently set by members Of Con-
gress in forming total abstinence society will not
be lost upon her citizens
The purpose of the Festival was the raising OF
funds for the erection of parsonage.
We are glad to learn that, pecuniarily this Fcsti-
val was a success; but we are sorry that any funds
for so good purpose should be obtained by the es-
tabishing Of lotteries, practice clearly illegal and
immoral.

LIFE ISsuRAScE.-What greater obligation can
there exist than for a husband or parent to make
provision for the comfortable support of wife or
children who are dependent upon his earnings for
subsistence that provision to take effect at the very
time they may most need such assistance, namely
at the period of his death ... ..... -
We will suppose man, thirty years Of age, whose
income enables him to support his family in comfort,
but is SO limited not to allow him 10 save more
than S23 60 year. 1t would be long time before
that sum, laid up yearly, would accumulate to any
thing like moderate support for his family at his
death; and should he die prematurely, he must
leave them in want by adopting the prudent course
ofinsuring his life, and paying that sum yearly to
the Office, he secures, from the moment of the first
payment, $1,000 to his family whenever he dies. In
the same proportion smaller or larger sums may be
secured man, aged thirty, may, for Si.72 year,
insure 5000 for SllS year. he may insure $4,000.
