The Louisa Hotel was the scene Of much
iestiyi.y last night--the occasion of a ban-
uuet given by Evergreen Lodge, No. 3S,
knights OF PYfhias. The large and spacious
dining-room was well filed with tables. aud
every seat tlereat occupied. Oysters, tur-
key, meats. celery, wines, etc, were fur
nished in the greatest abundance, and full
Justice was done these fine edibies by oil
present. The room committee performed
their duty to the entire satisfaction OF NIL.
seeing that each and every one was properly
and promptly waited upon.
After the bounieous repast the Chancel-
Tor Commander, w. Il. Bibb, and Messrs.
j. L. Jones and H. P. Burruss made brief
but pointed speeches, which were heartily
cheered. The company then adjourned to
the iodge-room, where many pleasant hours
were spent in social conversation, anecdote-
telling, sc.
The banquet was furnished by the hotel
proprietor, Mr. b. F. Trice, who knows
how to do such things, If we may Judge
from the opinions OF all who partook OF the
supper last night.
Evergreen Lodge Is in quite flourisiing
condition, and many hopes were entertained
last night for herfuture prosperity.

An important improvement upon the ex-
press system is to 60 into effect in Great
Britain on New-Year's day. Twenty-Five
railway companies in England, Wales. and
Sc land give notice that they will issue
stamps OF the denominations OF four and
eight pence. which shaiEs carry parcels I'M
der two and four pounds respectively to
any part Of their systems. The British
railways also insure these packages TO, The
value OF twenty shilings each. This system
VIII be great improvement upon any
thlnS That has ever been known in the mat
Ter OF expressing small parcels, either in
england or America. The post-office car
sies goods, under numerous and yexatious
restrictions, at the rate of sixteen cents a
pound, which is four times as much as the
British railways are to charge for parcels
