After marching through some of the
principal streets, the procession entered
the Primitive Church, and was raped to
order by DR.. Vivian, N. G.. of Miners
Lodge, and the exercises commenced with
singing the opening ODE of the Order. fol-
lowed by prayer by Rev. j. Anderson, and
addresses by Rev. A. Warrick, of Mazo-
mamie, and Rev. Mr.. Couch, of Mineral
Point. Mr.. w. has world of kindness
written all over his face, and engages the
sympathy of the nearer at once. His adj
dress was very satisfactory one, lin
which he spoke of the Order of Odd Eel
lows in the past, present, and future, and
one which was we'll calculated to give a
favorable impression of the Order to "out-
side passengers" ae@4 aaataa .4s-s.
He was followed by Mr.. Couch, who
took for the foundation of his remarks the
motto of the Order, Friendship, Love
and TRUTH" or in the manner that he ar
ranged it, Friendship. Truth and Love.
The popularity Of Mr.. C.'s style, whether
in the pulpit or addressing meeting of
any sort, is that you feel he is deeply in
earnest; his whole soul is in what he says,
and you find yourself agreeing with him
ere. you are aware. He was young in
Odd Fellowship-almosta stranger to it, :"
but trusted that he was " not stranger
to the glorious. God-like principles which
it inculcates." He is fully in love with
the Order because it processes to carry
out the precept whatsoever We would that
others should do unto you, do ye even so
unto them," and because its workings are
all in entire unison with the principles of
the New Testament. !. g.. After some excel
lent singing by the choir, and benediction
by Mr.. Couch, the procession was re-
formed and marched to
s THE HALL, Jll .4#j p.
Which was handsomely trimmed with ev-
ergreens, and hung with attractive en-
cravings and paintings, from among which
the well known counsenance of President
Grant, also an Odd Fellow, looked pleas
antly down upon the scene. Here reg
ular tea-meeting feast was soon in readi-
ness. The first tables were occupied by
members Of the Order from Mineral Point,
invited guests, and as many more as they
would accommodated all about one hun
dred, we should judge. After a short
blessing invoked by Rev. Anderson, IAN
Ancient Odd Fellow, now out,of the bust
ness undermining as one of the invited
guests the real business of the hall meet
ing commenced. ss5as.e
EXCELLENT TASTE
Was displayed in the arrangement of the
tables, which presented a very handsome
appearance, and we think were not fully
observed by those surrounding them, who
had something more serious to attend to.
Among the serious subjects - $50
OYSTERS
Took high rank. If we say that they
were good as oysters ever are, and cooked
as well as oysters ever were, no one who
partook thereof will say we overdo it.
If there was anything overdone it was
eating. Oysters were followed by cake,
and cake by pies, and pies by jellies and
peaches, and peaches by more cake. Some
explanation is due in regard to the extraor-
binary eating done by some. To have a
pretty girl, STOPPING till her curls almost
touch your face, look beseechingly in your
eyes, and earnestly entreat you to "Aave a
piece of cake,' is enough to tempt any
one to eat to the fullest extent. In the
light of that supper we no longer wonder
that Adam did eat of the apple.
EATING FOR FIFTY YEARS.
One energetic member of the Order
gave as his excuse that the anniversary
came but once in ffty years, and hence
his appetite. After the wants of the in.
ner man, and women and children were
fully supplied, 70 asss
SPEECHES, SENTIMENTS, &C.,
Were in order, and the meeting was ad
dressed by Revs. j. Anderson, VIM. Stur
ges, Captain Nelson Whitman, w. L
Abbott, and, others. We are unable tc
give even a synopsis of their remarks
However the presiding officer, w. S
Bovine, N. g., in closing said that the i'm
pressions of the speakers, most of whom
were "outside passengers" in regard tt
the Order were entirely just and correct
He thanked the singers and band for theil
music, and particularly the ladies for theil
efficient labors, to which much of the sue
cess of the meeting was due.
