The speaker closed his address by
a few exceedingly appropriate re-
marks to the brethren, reminding
them of the duties inculcated in the
teachings of the Order. The address
throughout was received with the
most earnest and profound attention
10y the large audience.
The choir sang the following
CLOSING ODE.
Our thankful hearts to God we raise,
In songs of gratitude and praise:
For all his blessings, great and free,
For life, and health, and liberty.
For all the ties that bind the heart,
And social sympathies impart;
For Friendship, Love, and Truth
divine,
Those links that all our hearts en-
twine.
Our Order bless and prosper still,
Till all the world our precepts I'LL
And may its influence benign
With an undying luster shine
Bless all assembled here to-day,
And guard us on our homeward way !:
And when life's weary journey ends,
Save Lodges, families, and friends!
After which followed the doxology
and benediction.
The procession then reformed and
marched to their respective places Of
meeting where they were dismissed.

John u. feathers. Esq.

This gentleman, a native of Mar
tinsburg, and well and favorably
known to our people, has just heen
elected to the distinguished position
of Grand Master of the Grand Lodge
of the Masonic fraternity of Ken
lucky, Mr.. feathers is now, and
has been for some years past citi-
zen of Louisville. The papers Of that
city refer to his election in the most
complimentary manner. The Daily
Ledger says:
"We congratulate the masonic fra
teriity of Kentucky upon the cleo
tion of John III. Leathers to the DO
sition Of Grand Master of the Grand
Lodge of the State. Though that
position has been honored by many
of the great and good men of the
Commonwealth, we venture to say it
has never been more worthily filled
than it will be by Mr.. feathers. He
embodieS in an eminnt degree all
those excellent qualities of head
and heart which soeminently fit him
for the duties and responsibilities Of
the position"
The Louisville Commercial refers
to the matter as follows:
Captain Leathers is eminently
qualified for the position to which,he
has been called, and will fill it with
dignity and ability.
In accepting the position Captain
feathers has much to be proud off,
at the age of thirty-four he accepts
the highest place which a Mason can
attain in the Slate, an incident never
before known in the history of Ma
sonry in Kentucky, and can boast of
being one of the youngest Grand
Masters in America"
The CourieT-Journal adds it's COM
mendation as follows:
Louisville feels particularly fiat
tered in the election of John ii.
feathers as Grand Master-one of
her most valued citizens. He is the
youngest Mason who ever enjoyed
this distinguished honor-being only
thirty-four years of age. He was
made Mason in Falls City Lodge
No. $40, Louisville. in 1865.

Like the Town.

The members of the Grand Lodge
of Odd Fellows who attended the SEES
sion the past few days, express very
favorable opinion of the thrift and
enterprise of the town. Of course
they rushed to see the fire ON We'd
nesday morning, and when they OBJ
served how quickly the firemen were
at work with two powerful and con-
tinuous streams of water, and with
out any engine, they were surprised
at the promptness and efficiency of
everything. We are glad they like
the town, and trust they will con-
clude it is the best place at which to
permanently locate the Capitol.

Buryimg Potatoes.

The Canada Farmer gives the
following method Of burying po-
tatOes.
Potatoes should be laid In com
pact heaps, and covered carefully
with straw. Over the straw nut
about eight inches OF earth, and
over the earth good thick layer
Of straw. Over all Iut six or eight
inches Of earth. Frost will 20
through almost any thickness Of
earth alone, but it will suffice to
keep ii In place. By using straw
and earth combined, time Is saved
In unc0vering when the roots are
wanted to be got at. If the snow
is blown from the heaps during
the winter, and the cold is very
intense, it will be well TO cover
them with coat Of coarse man
ure.
