THE Odd Fellows of Jefiersonvilie,
Ind, are refitting and refurnishing
their hall, corner Of. Market and Wall
streets. When finished, it will be
without doubt the finest, lodge room
in the State. The Odd Fellows in
our city are very strong, and are com
posed of our most respectable citi-
zens. We do not propose to cast any
reflections upon any other society In
the city or elsewhere, but we must
say that the Odd Fellows, as an or
ganization here, are working good tn
mankind generally, and are first tn
the attendance of the poor and needy

of the State to the condition Of a

he has been among and mingled
feely with all classes Of our people,
and more peaceful, law-abiding and
industrious population he has never
seen anywhere. He has never car
ried o weapon, and has never needed
one, nor has he seen n good citizen or
traveller who did. He deplores the
threatened disruption Of the social
aud political ORDER and qnietude un-
der which the State has been 80 pros
porous and fails to see the slightest
necessity for the same. He loosely
ex presses his gratitude for having
passed through such dangerous times,
and having made so many narrow
escapes without even being aware Of
O semblance OF their existence, until
made aware that he was treading
over and slumbering upon the incr,is-
tations of a fiery volcano by the agi-
tators and ec0nstructionists. The
opinion expressed by the Judge are
unanimously those of the bona fidc
and valuable citizens of the North
who settled among us and engaged
in the occupations common to our
people, for the accumulation of prop
erty and the development of the SUI
Iperabudant resources of our State
This partion of our good citizens, as
well as Federal officers in the late
war, are deep and vehementint their
denunciations OF q policy SO ruinous,
so monstrous and fraught with so
many mischievous, consequences. -

WATER Poor GooDs.--- Probably
few of our readers know how water
proof goods are made, or rather how
the goods are made waterproof. The
process, briefly described, IL a. follows:
The cloth IL first submitted to the nc
ton OF moderately, sulphuric acid,
the time of such action varying with
the nature OF the fabric. but never
exceeding two minutes. A thorough
washing follows, and when dried the
material Is ready for use. The action
of the acid is to decompose the wool
or cotton flbres into a glutinous ma
terial, the gum filling up the spaces
between the threads, and thereby
preventing the passage of the water.

Kitty Glenn stood i'm the pantry
with the sleeves of her bingham
dress rolled up to her shoulders, dis
playing the plump, white arms, her
hands playing bOpeep in the heap of

peeping out through the green vines
which Swallowed the window to the
handsome specimen of humanity
which stood upon the lawn before the
house, busily talking with Bob Glenn.
Dick Arnot was her ideal OF man
illness and perfection, and ever since
he had ''beaued' her home from

him in her loving heart, and loved to
please him.
Every time she wound her shining
curls around her white fingers, 1t was
with a thought that it would plense
Dick, and whenever she donned her
pretty muslin dress, il was with
pleasure because once she had heard
him express his admiration of them.
All at once, that bright morning,
Dick left Kitty's brother, and walked
straight up to the vine-wreathed win

picture. -- ,.-. rh -ru ~
