ODD FELLOWS PARADE The Odd
Fellows parade at Bloody Run, on the
Sd inst, was complete success in ev-
cry respect. The turnout was large,
and the arrangements for the accom-
modations Of visiting lodges We're Jam
pie. Especially do the ladies of that
place deserve credit for the bountiful
supply of good things which they pre-
pared. Our townsnan, DIR. G. N.
Hickok, was made the recipient of
valuable present which has been shown
to us and which certainly is a '''thing
of beauty" We will attempt as well
as we can, to give a description of the
Jewel, so that our readers may form
an idea of its beauty. Both in materi-
al and workmanship it is the most ele-
CANT affair we have ever seen.
1t is medal three inches in dame
ter, and one fourth inch thick at the
edge, made of solid, eighteen carat
gold, very heavy, and richly oramen-
ted with various devices peculiar to
the Order. In the center of the front.
or diverse side, upon frosted back
ground, aud encircled by wreaths of
oak and ivy, wrought in pure frosted
silver, is the insignia of a District De-
putty Grand Patriarch-a double trian-
gle so arranged as to form a x-point-
ed star, ,inclosing an altar and shepherds
crooks crossed. Above this star, and
just inside the border of the medal, is
the "All-seeing Eye" surrounded by
rays oflight, and below, uniting the
silver Wreaths, is three-link chain,
the primary emblem of Odd Fellow
ship, crossed by an ak. All the orna-
mentation, except the wreaths, is
gold The medal is hung to massive,
heavy chased pin with which to at
tach it to the regalia) made of three
large links, set with the various en-
blematical colors of the Order, in pre-
cious stones. On the back, or reverse
side of the medal is the following in
scriptior: Friendship, Love and
Truth. 7. 0. o. F. Of Penna. Pre-
sented to Bro. Charles n. Hickok, p.
c., p. C. p, D. D. G. NJ, D. d. g. P.
w. G. g., by members of there follow
the names Of the different lodges as a
token of appreciation of faithful aud
long continued service in the Order"
This elegant affair was gotten up for
the Committee by Messrs. Wilson and
StelIwagen, of Phila., at a cost of sever
al hundred dollars, and reflects great
credit on their skill and workmanship.
We would just add that no man is
more deserving of such valuable to-
ken of friendship than the Doctor.
For years he has labored with untir-
ing perseverance to promote the inter
ests of the different orders to which he
belongs. On the occasion above refer
red to, the Doctor delivered an address
which was in his usual happy and elo-
quent style.

COMPLETION OF THE IL EMBLE GOAL
AND IRON CoMPANY's FURNACE AT
RIDDLEsBURG.-A SPLENDID A
CHIEvEMENT.-The furnace of the
Kemble Coal and Iron Company, at
Riddlesburg, was completed and put
in successful operation on the first
inst. 1t is ore of the finest hot blast
furnaces in the United States. Work
was commenced on its construction on
May 20, 1868, by excavating and grao-
ing railroad siding and getting in stone.
A stack "A feet high, of stone, and l6
feet of boiler iron, was built. The
hearth and in-Wall are of best quality
of friedrich. There are two hot blast
ovens, of Players patent, containing
about 100 tons of castings. one steam
blast engine, with steam cylinder 81
inches in diameter, 6 feet stroke, a blast
cylinder feet in diameter, feet stroke,
capable of producing from 5000 to
5000 cubic feet of air per minute, six
boilers, each SO inches in diameter and
Is feet long, with mud boiler and
steam drums attached, with steam
stop valves and safety-valves, includ
ing all necessary attachments for con-
venience of working. Stock is deliv-
cred at the trundle-head by water-lift,
the water being supplied for lift and
tuyeres by two Cameron steam-pumps,
capable of delivering one thousand
gallons of water per minute. In fact
all modern improvements in furnace
b uilding have been introduced. The
furnace is constructed for using coke
as fuel, and it is calculated that small
amount of raw coal can be used sue
cessfully. Coke is made in the Pitts
burg oven, of Broad Top coal and so
far has proved an entire success. 1t
does not furnish as large an amount of
gas as was anticipated, but little time
and raw coal will overcome this diff
Guilty. The amount of iron that will
be made per day is yet.to be determin-
ed, but it is estimated that at least 20
tons will be produced every "a hours,
and possibly this rate may be exceed
ed. The stack and ovens contain 250,-
600 friedrich and about 800, 900 COM
mon brick. The furnace will consume
about 80 tons of coal per day and about
G, 900 tons of limestone per year. A
bout q tons of the fossil ore used at
the furnace, will make ton of metal.
The Company own in fee simple q
large tract of coal and ore lands, the
best and most accessible in that region,
and have within themselves all the ele-
ments of success in the manufacture of
Pig Iron. Daniel Worden, Esq, is
the Superintendent of the works, and
isa gentleman admirably qualified to
discharge the onerous duties of that re-
sponsible position. The Company
could not have made a better selection. |
In truth, the furnace at Riddlesburg Is |
a splendid achievement and will add |
greatly to the wealth and prosperity of |
our county. 1t is, however, only the |
pioneer of other works of a similar
which will soon follow.

| THE FOURTH.-We sent our special
reporter on q voyage of discovery"
to ascertain if the ''glorious Fourth"
| had come to town. After an absence
Of three days in which time nothing
new or unusual was developed, he
came into the sanctum full of patriot
ism, or ''wOrds to that effect" He
was slightly incoherent and the ac-
count of his travels in search of the
elephant was rather uninteligible,
while his phiz was drawn up as though
he had bathed it freely in alum-water.
Removing his dilapidated tile, and
spilIing pack of fire crackers and
mutilated "history of the four kings
on the floor, he addressed US thusly:
"CelIer Fitizens-scarce xpect | of
miage- 'customed siam to pub (hic)
lie speakin-t this is glorious anniver-
sary of Indignation of Declapendence-
hurrah for g. Washington or p. Hen

yes feller citizens, this is Creates

II IN Cap'n Jinks of horsema (hic) rines.
At this stage our reporter was COM
pletely overcome and sank, exhausted,
into three legged stool, muttering,
l'who will care for mother now." His
patriotism has since effervesced and he
declares he will not go in search of an
other Fourth" till Chritmas. Hope
not.
