Miscellaneous.
The dedication by the Odd Fellows Of Laco-
mia Lodge, Of their new hall In Shaw's Block,
oocurrvi last Friday evening, and the occasion
WAS one of unusual interest 10 the fraternity.
The Lodge has for long time had under con-
sideration the propriety Of establishing itself In
a more desirable locality, and where moro spa
cIous apartments would meet the multiplicity Of
its numbers. II was organized in 1917, and
numbers at present about 126. The affair was
elaborate and CT unusual attraction; invitations
were extended to about six hundred. The Hall
itself Is very beautiful from the elegantly fres-
coed symbols on the walls, to the rich tapestry
carpet upon the floor, which was very ornamen-
tai as well as useful, displaying the refined
taste of the selector We would say more about
this beautiful ball, explaining TO-, but not be-
Ing an adept in the mysteries OF this secret So
ciety we feel unable to do our duty as we would
like. The dedication ceremony commenced
about half past o'clock, and was presided
over by Grand Master Harelton. Speeches were
male by members Of various lodges in Maine
and New Hampshire, among whom were Past
Grand Master Neatly, Past Grand Master Laid,
Past Grand Master Cummings, Past Grand A. \.
Craig Of Portsmouth, c. A. Rowland, and VIM.
ID. Fendeason.
AT the conclusion Of the ceremony we entered
the large Hall which presented one grand ex-
citing scene Of display. The richly spread Ia

was temptation to indulge, tOo powerful to re
sist, by children of larger growth than lisping
infants or primary school boys. After the re
mast the floor was covered with q merry set OF
dancers, from whose countenances bcamed forth
excessive mirth and hilarity, while the music
from the different instruments seemed 10 make
the young blood race more swiftly through the
veins. Watching the merry scene, and being
dazIled by the brilliancy Of the ladies' toilets,
we leit them ut the quiet hour Of midnight, sat-
isfed that the festivities Of the night wor-
thy Of the occasion. They bore the stamp of
those Persons under whose direction they were
conducted, and everything bore the unmistaka-
BILE signs Of good taste and liberality. Our
thanks are due Mr.. Z. p. Parcher, for courtesy. |

by invitation Of Capt Morton We visited the

on Monday evening the 22d Of February. The
occasion may be deemed one Of triumphal sue

Esa..'ne yoar Policies.
There is seldOma loss by FIRE where the par
ties are fully insured, and In many cases there
is no insurance at all, just simply by careless
ness AMI neglect in examining policies and at
tending 10 their renewal. We recently heard
Of case where n policy for ten thousand dollars
expired about an hour before the property
was destroyed The high rates charged by the
companies which areattempting to make mo-
nopoly Of the business, has undoubtedly kept
many from insuring fully, and for that reason
we commend to our readers the Agency OF Mr..
shaw. where insurance can be had n any
amount in good stock companies ut loo rates.
Ills companies are not governed by the extor-
tomato prices demanded by the companies in
the 80 called "Board," but do straight for
wari legitimate business at rates Averaging
about two.thir,ls those charged by the compa-
mics in the monopoly.

Mr.. Chas. AnthOin, whose shop was burnt out
on Alfred Street last Monday night was insured
in Baltimore Company. Yesterday the special
agent Of the company arrived at town and paid
him his loss in full.
