Odd Fellowship-PubIic Installation of
0mcera.

Last evening the following officers elect of
Ancient Brothers Lodge, No. 4, were publicly
installed at Odd Fellows Hall, by Grand Mas
ter Babb, and the officers of the Grand Lodge:
Joseph G. Russell, N. G.; j. F., Lscomb V.
G.; N. G. Cummings, Secretary; d. w. Nash,
Treasurer. The hall was completely filled by
members of the Order, their wives and lady
friends and invited guests. After the Lodge
was opened, the Grand Lodge came in and were
received with the honors, the officers of the G.
L. taking their official stations in the ROOM
After the installation ceremonies had been con-
cluded, P. G. R. Kingsbury was called out, and
spoke for some time concerning Odd Fellow
ship, its Objects growth, operations, and espec-
tally of the relations of the wives of members
to the Order, made closer by the degree of Re-
bekah. Odd Fellowship, he said in substance,
was becoming less secret, and he had no doubt
that at some future time, women would be per-,
mitted to see more of the inside of the lodge
room than had been heretofore granted to them.
In regard to the charities of the order he stated
that from $1,000 to $4,000 per annum is syste-
maticaly given yearly by the Odd Fellows of
Portland to those entitled to benefits.
P. G. c. H. Bich was next called for. He ex-
cused himself from making speech, but very
gracefully called P. G. Addison Frye to the
front and presented him with a magnificent

society in that distant Territory, and the pro-

ford the Bishop an interesting theme on which
to base his remarks. The service will be full

PROGRESS OF THE REvoLUTIoN.-A new
light dawned upon the world with the intro
duction of PLANTATION BIrTERs twelve years
ago. Drastic purgation went out-restoration
and renovation came in The eyes of the peo-
pie were opened to the great fact that the way
to cure disease is to strengthen and support its
victims, not to place them at its mercy by de-
priving them of the little strength they have.
1t soon became evident that as a means of in
fusing vitality into the feeble system, regula-
ting the secretions, curing Indigestion and re-
forming bilious habit of body, no medicinal
preparation then known was at all compare
BILE to the new restorative. Since then hun
dreds of attempts have been made to rival the
Bitters. They have all failed, and the GRAND
REVOLUTION IN MEDICAL TREATMENT, which
was commenced in 1860, is still in progress.
Nothing can stop it, for it is founded on the
principle now universally acknowledged, that
physical vigor is the most formidable antagon-
ist of all human ailments, and experiment has
shown that PLANTATION BITTERs is peerless
invigorant, as well as the best possible safe
guard against epidemic disease.
