LONDON, August 70, 1870
Officers and Members Templnr Lodge No II,
|. o. o. F., San Francisco, Cal: Dear Sirs and
Bros.-I have delayed writing to you until this
date, in the hope that the state of affairs in Eu-
rope would have furnished IN opportunity for
me to have been able TO inform you of definite
action in the matter of establishing American
Odd Fellowship in Germany. But the unhappy
state of affairs, the existence of the terrible war
now raging on the soil and in the country where
had so iondly hoped to raise the banner of our
Order, have made it unsafe for me to even visit
that country. Even after getting this iar-and
so near the Fatherland friends and official ;
advised me not to attempt it ; and being obliged
to return ia time TO be present Mt the approach
ing session of The G. l.. L. s., | have deemed
il not prudent to attempt it, and have therefore
acted upon their advice by not trying TO reach
Germany.
will not attempt to describe to you the great
disappointment nud modification feel. have
made all the sacrifices was called upon to make
to undertake the long jnurney-leaving my home,
business and other official duties, to visit Ger
many and tako part in establishing American
ODD Fellowship in that c0untrv-and now am
compelled TO return without having had the
pleasure of accomplishing the object in which
felt so much interest. | am gratiied to say that
! am convinced, had not the war been thrust
upon the country, that ere this you would lave
had the satisfaction of rejoicing that the White
Banner of Peace-of American Odd Fellowship
hoated in the breezes of the " Fniherlnnd - and
would have returned to you proud glad and low
Gus that had been humble instrument in your
hands to raise the standard of our Order in that
foreign country.
And, brothers, permit me to say we must not,
will not, long be wthou: this cause of rejoicing.
Your honored brother, Past Grand Master
John +. Morse, has succeeded in Joining me
here. ! have commissioned him MS Special
Deputy Grand Sire, " to carry out the mission |
feel assured with his superior ability, eminent
fitness and qualifications, added to his fervent
zeal and devotion 10 the great cause, he will ac-
complish the work, when circumstances will

And when the opportunity offers he will take
such action AS will give you, and me, and all of

Flour TO TRIyIrY.-We learn from Mr.. w.
Davidson, who has just returned from. Trinity
county, that the merchants there are getting the
bulk OF their -four supply the present season
from the Sacramento valley. This county should
with proper energy and enterprise on the part OF
our farmers and mlers supply the whole OF
that market Irekd Union.
Yes without doubt it should But there are
several reasons why our merchants have not pur-
chased much -four from the Siskiyou county
mills this season as they have been in the habit
of doing in former seasons. The Union will no
doubt remember that last Spring the farmers of
Scott valley ana other interested parties raised a
cry that the frost had killed large proportion
of the wheat in that section. This was probably
done in order to raise the price of that staple.
Bat, supposing that the report was founded on
fact and that no flour could be had from that
quarter, our merchants proceeded to contract
for their supplies at other places. Another
reason, perhaps for their doing So is the fac,
that a quantity OF -four brought here from Sski-
you last Fall, proved to be a very inferior article
Notwithstanding that all the bad was from ore
mill, it tended to bring the -four from that entire
section into disrepute. Our miners and families
want good quality of this article, if it can be
had and are willing TO pay fair price for it.
The Siskyou people having heretofore supplied
this market but failing to do so this season, are
left with large surplus on hand and no market
for 1t. Flour can be brought from Sskiyou into
this county and sold cheaper than that brought
from Tehama county, and by fair dealing the
people there might furnish all our merchants
with supplies of that article another season.
We did not suppose you would have any more
than enough for home consumption, so we have
made other arrangements this time

BELMoNT.--A correspondent writes
to the Darlignton Republican from Belmont
(Western Chicago as follows:
EDS. REPuRLloAS;--Our young and thrifty
town is prom ising largely in the way OF
building and trade this spring a number
of buildings are in course OF erection. -
There will be three first class stores, two
stories high, with Offices and hall on seci

ticiently out of the ground to permit the
digging Of cellars.
Messrs Spielman, Pusey and Pieschel
of the fax mills have purchased one
hundred aud twenty acres adjoining the
village Oh the east, for flax mill purposes,
and the present prospect ls that all the
machinery at Dixon, H., used for weaving
the fax low into bagging, viii be moved
to this point. This will employ about so
more persons. AT present the mill gives
employment to about thirteen, besides a
number Of teams hauling fax straw to the
mill. II is altogether the institution Of
Belmont, being grcat benefit to farmer
and citizen, aud we hope the gentlemen
concerned in il are making money, as they
we'll deserve 10.

ABOUT this season, annually, the
meaning of certain words is asked for,
that are household words in the Roman
and Anglican churches.
Lent comes from leuta, bean---the Oh.
servers OF Lent keeping it as fast, alb.
staining from meat and living chiefly on
vegetables. Beans formed large part OF
the diet IN olden times.
Carnival is from car,d pae, farewell to
meat, and is the celebration or feast that
precedes the forty days fast of Lent,
,Slyopc Tuesday is the day before Ash
Wednesday, when the faithful are to make
confession and shrine themselves. The Ro.
man Catholics, on that day, used to dine
on pancakes and fritters, and the bell that
ruug on ,hat da, was called Pancake Bell.
Ash Heu.esioy--the first day Of Lent
was called so because the Romanists were
accustomed to sprinkle ashes, on that day,
Oh the heads Of the penitents.
