The Grand Lodge of the indie
pendent Order of Odd Fellows in
the United States, holds its next
session on Monday, September 90,

ments have been made for commuta-
ton tickets formembers in the States
east of the Mississippi, on nearly
all the railroads in the country
The Grand Lodge of California So
lcited the meeting of the Order in
that State, and meet the expenses
of transporting the representatives
of the body from Omaha. The
special train will stop at Salt Lake
City, and at the Yo Semitic Valley
and other places of note, in order
to give the tourists an opportunity
to see the sights along this great
highway of the nation. At Sacra-
mento- city the Grand Lodge will
stop a day, to be present at the lay

Odd Fellows temple, proposed to be
erected at the capital of the Golden
State, and will then proceed to

Lodge of California. The return
ing trains are arranged to arrive at
Omaha on the 10th of October,
thus making the trip exactly one
month between the Missouri river
and the bay ofSan Francisco. The
Grand Sire and Grand Secretary
will perhaps leave in August, but
this has not been definitely settled.
This trans-continental journey of
the supreme legislative body of this
great and powerful Fraternity will
be one of the notable events of the
year.

Tifin TRIBUNE
FROM SOUTH PASS CITY.
WYOMING TERRITORY,
Aug. 9. 1866.

- - A
l received a copy of the TRIBUNE
a few days ago, and it certainly
was a rich treat. Looking over
the local columns and the advertise
ments of its numerous enterprising
business men, brought back to my
memory the pleasant time l once
enjoyed in Tifin.
Since my last letter, many chang
es in business circles have taken
place in South Pass City, but none,
I am free to say, that have a ten
dency to retard its onward march.
Those who have "pIlled up stakes"
and left for other parts, have been
succeeded by more substantial and
better men-men who will do much
to urge on the growth and prosperi-
ty of the city in the Rocky Noun
tains, and to develope the precious
metals of the mining region of Wy
oming Territory. There is not a
doubt that it is immensely rich in
minerals of various kinds, and what
it requires to test it thoroughly, is
capital, and the strong arm of the
sturdy miner. I predict that there
will be lively and prosperous times
in this region next season, from
the very fact that the mines
will be more fully developed,
and the hidden treasure now con-
cealed in the bowels of the noun
tains will be brought to light, coin
ed into money, and create a living
trade among the merchants and
producers; mechanics of all de-
scriptionswill be in demand at high
wages, which, no doubt will be a
great contrast between the business
to-day, and that one year hence.
Men of capital are invited to come
in. Here are hundreds of chances
for safe, sure and profitable invest
ment in the gold region of Wyoming.
You are invited to come>-but do
not come with empty pockets.
THE MILLS.
The Young America Company
have Just completed one of the best
and finest mills in this Territory,
will put it in operation on the 10th
inst, and there is no doubt it will
work like a charm. The mine own
ed by this enterprising company is
turning out better quartz than was
anticipated. The deeper the shaft
is sunk, the richer is the quartz, ex-
hibiting free gold On much ofit, and
it is believed, will yield as largely,
if not greater than any mine in this
mining district. The Elk Horn Mill
was again put in operation crushing
the quartz from the "Atlantic
Ledge" This Ledge is said to be
some % feet in width, and yields
some SO per ton. 1t is rumored
that the prOprietors are going oput
| up a 40 stamp mill this fall.
The "Miners Delight" which is
located some eight miles from this
place on the California side, cons
tinues in successful operation, and
the yield is extraordinarily large.
This is one of the best gold ledges
on this continent-as fast acknowl-
edged by many of the old California
pioneers.

Miscellany.
Sad s,oric. from Minnesota.

A correspondent of the Springfield Repuoh-
can gives picture of Minnesota which is not
rose colored, and in the course OF MS n"'i"
tive tells the following: ob,bhv-
at was only the other day that chuppy-
facad S,vedn made himself ridiculously promi-
nent at the eastern depot by telllng every
man woman and child present that his vile
and how were coming on the next train all
tho ~ from Sweden. The poor fellow had
been in Minnesota for two years, and by dint
of hard work and living on quarter day,
had scraped together enough to get him
little home, and to enable him to send for his
family, and now they were coming on the
next train, and the long months of anxious
expectancy were almost over. The train
dashed into the depot, the emigrants began
to file out, and presently appeared a sad wea-
ry-looking woman with something in her
arms. The man rushed forward and asked
for his boy, and the woman burst into tears.
The boy was a corpse in her arms-had SICK
ened on the journey and died on the tram,
and the poor mans heart seemed broken.
The depot employees made rude box Tor
the body, and sadly enough they went
away.
"A somewhat similar but more sad event
occurred the other day. Every day for week
O young but careworn woman came to the
end of the bridge, half an hour before train
time, and waited patiently till the last passen-
ger and the last wagon had come over, when
she would turn disappointed away, sometimes
with tears that she could not entirely con-
ceal At last wagon came across, and in
that wagon trunk, which she no sooner saw
than she darted forward with wild cry, look
ed into the wagon and saw the body OF her
husband. partially covered with blanket,
and dropped to the ground. Sympathizlng
strangers crowded round offers of assistance
were freely made, but all too late; from that
time to this she has been raving maniac.
"The explanation Of all this is briefly as
folows:' She and her husband had started
for st. Paul, he in advanced consumption,
with just enough money to get them here, in
the vain hope that he might get some light
employment which would enable them to sub
sst; but he had grown rapidly worse on the
journey; finally he had been left at point
some seventy miles below st. Paul, unable to
travel further, while the lady, probably forced
to realize the fact that money here, as else.
where, is the one thing needful, had come tc
this city and obtained work as seamstress
and he after while had attempted to follow
and had died on the train"
