THE ODD

To day Is the anniversary of the es-
Establishment of Odd Fellowship in the
United States. F~ifty-seven years ago
to-day Thomas Wildey, a member of
the English Independent Order of Odd
| Fellows. established the first lodge OF
the order in Baltimore. The origin of
Odd Fellowship is, according to some
authorities, like that of the Masonic
order, lost in the twilight of fable. The
advocates of the ancient existence OF
the society lay its foundations among
the great Gothic races, the apostles of
individual liberty, who overspread
Europe during the first centuries after
Christ. 1t is generally supposed, how.
ever, we believe by members of the
order, that the association was eslab.
lished in England during the latter
part OF the last century. 1t was, in its
origin, partly couvivial and partly
charitable. In the course Of time, and
particularly since its establishment in
America, the beneficent and charitable
purposes OF the organization have
heen prominent, and the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows stands to-day in
she United States IA shining example of
the good that can be attained by asso-
citation for good purposes. la little
more than half a century b order has
increased in power and therefore in
the ~capability OF extending and en-
forcing the doctrines of Friendship,
Love and Truth, until its members in
this country alone exceed a quarter OF

men offered policeman Kelly $50 re-
ward for the capture OF the fugitive.
Kelly mounted a horse and started in
pursuit aud overhauled the fleeing
John on Reese River, in the vicinity OF
Davis ranch, and arrested m brought
bin "a town. In tho meantime a dis
paich had been received from Eureka
stating that the officers there knew
nothing about the escape OF a China
man: but kelly's prisoner was never.
the'ess Kept locked up in the City Jail
last night. This morning he was re-
leased. and the Chiiiaman who had
caused his arrest ~endeavored to have
him held till they could get a letter
from Eureka, which request was re-
fused.
