GRAND REPREsENTATIvEs REPORT.
Grand Representatives NJ. J. Durham
and j. D. Trapp made very able report
from which we make the following sy-
nopsis:
they had attended the Grand Lodge
Of the United States held in Chicago,
September 18th They speak in the
highest terms of the hos itaIity they re-
,eived, and the magnificent procession
on Tuesday of the session. in which it
was estimated that five thousand Odd
Fellows were marshalled Six Past Grand
Sires were present. All the Grand juris-
1ictions were represented The Order
has enjoyed an unprecedented prosperity
IN the United States, and has been plant
ed in Germany and Switzerland. 4 sum
mary of the principal acts passed and
laws Hf65it ''ff'5 tTgHlnab 81 shs fsssi8P Xg Ufsgr
during last year, and its strength and
condition now, was made as follows:

The above is exclusive of the En
cam pment During the first ten years Of
the existence Of the Order there were no
reliable statistics Of the relief granted by
this institution, but for the last iorts two
years we have reasonably correct data,
and the work and relief is as follows
Number of limitations ............... T55 s23
Number of brothers relieved. 573, 049
Number Of widow families
iieved ................................... 70,0n
Paid for the education of orphans S306 ZIG

Total amount of receipts 80, APT, 8l4
These are results of which we may
well feel proud. They should stimulate
Us to sGIi higher exertons in behalf Of
this glorious institution.
