From the Intelligcnccr of the 9th inst i

chas, Maine, recently arrived at Port
Gamble.
az 1t is started that our Govern
ment will erect Notifications on San
Juan Island and maintain a perman-

ton of the officers elected of Olive

on Wednesday evening last, as follows

zE At the Annual City Election, at

So The British Colonist SAYS that
"All the small craft that used to drive
a brisk business between San Juan and
Victoria have been withdrawn, the Uni

not to establish a custom house on the
Island" When the Island came into
the possession of our Government, Col

OBJ FELLOWS CONTRIBUTIONS. Speak
ing Of the contributions of the Odd Eel
lows for the relief Of Chicago, the Ne,v
Age says:
It is worth noting that the aggregate
contributions of the Masons, Knights
of Pythias, Knights Templar, Sons of
Temperance and American Protestant
Association amounted to $126,712 %
which was less by $5,7O6 IS, than the
contributions by the Odd Fellows alone.
The Chicago Times adds: Societies
have crises in their history, in which to
fail is to become despised. Odd Eel
lowship was, in this crisis, on trial; and
not only did it meet the general expec-
tation, but surpassed the hopes OF its
most sanguine friends. No other So
ciety of a similar character equalled it in
the amount of it's contributions. none
surpassed it in the excellence of its
method of distribution. The care and
courtesy in seeking out and alternating
suffering, or in the warm-hearted but
clear headed agent selected for its min
lstrations of divine charity"
