NEW HAVEN, Oct. 10.-The l. o. o. f.
Encampments Of this State, with invited En-
campments from Providence, paraded In this
city to-day, 1t being the occasion OF the annual
meeting Of the Encampments. At $50 A. M.
Sassscus, Golden Rule, and Aurora Encamp-
ments formed In line under the command OF
Lleut-Col. Bacon, Grand Marshal. assisted by
Lieuts. Foster and Miller and Capt. Russell
Thompson. They marched to the DEPOT, where
the visiting Encampments were received. The
line Of march was then taken up for the New
Haven House, whore the visiting officers Of the
Grand Encampment were received. The New
Haven House being nearly opposite Yale Col
lege, the students were drawn from their rooms
to see the show and hear tho music. They col
lected at the historical fence In that
part Of tho grounds facing Chapel street.
Nearly oil the students OF the academic
department were out to the number OF perhaps
seven hundred, and as usual there were some
who were too full OF hilartty to place a proper
limit to their amusement. AS the procession
went past, the more turbulent OF the crowd, fol-
lowing the same course they have frequently
pursued the past season In respect to like pro-
cessions, hOoted, yelled, Cneered, and groaned
to such an extent that the words OF command
could hardly be heard, and part OF the line was
thrown into confusion. The procession moved
past the college without receiving anything
when they reached the art building, a short dts
nee above IN Ost OF the college buildings, they
turned about and started for the Green, tue
students repeating their insults "a the process
sion marched past them.
The procession was nearly past the crowd OF
students when new aud as u proved very
troublesome diversion arose. loaded coal
cart, with the driver on top. was near the rear
OF the procession. and the students crowded
about IL, impeding its progress. The driver, be-
coming enraRed, made liberal use OF his whip,
and several Of the students were struck In the
face. They then mounted the cart, wrencbed
tue whip from the driver and pelted him with
stones, pieces OF his coal, &c. Some Of these
were thrown with such force that they hit some
OF the Odd Fellows in the procession. A sol-
tary policeman at this time attempted to inter-
the better part for him. The odd Fellows up to
this time had preserved their temper remarkably
well under the circumstances, but the shower OF
stones coal. &c, was too much, and facing about,
students stood their ground for a moment ana
then scattered like sheep. One received a bad
many were pricked With the sword points, while
Others received more inglorious wounds In the
shape OF damaged noses and blackeDed ewes.
One odd Fellow, German, broke hts sword
over some hard head another, frantic with
rage. was prevented from doing serious mischief
by his cooler companions who held him until
bis fury had abated. At length the line was re-
formed and continued It's march peacefully, but
all were indignant at the treatment they had re-
ceived.
There was much excitement over the anrav,
and In the afternoon when the line again passed
the colleges a large crowd OF people were In
waiting expecting to see the nRht renewed, but
behaved themselves, and no disturbance took
place. The Odd Fellows held meeting and
adopted resolutions denouncing the conduct of
the students, and also voted a sum OF money to
chase another. The Faculty Of the college have
expressed great regret at the occurrence.
