TnE oDD FELLOWS AxsivKasAEY.--A

The ODD FgLLows' AssIvERsARY.--A
very brilliant affair was the SIkticth ami
versary OF the existence Of the order Of Odd
Fellowship, held In Bellcfonte last SAtur-
day evening. Although the organization
enjoys the not very euphonious title Of
Old Fellows, nothing odd was noticed In
themselves or In the royal manner in which
they entcrtainted their guests. on this oc-
easion-unlcas IL was in the elegance Of tho
entertainment itself, which certainly can
not be cquallcd by any other organization.
The members Of the order with their
lady friends assembled 10 the number Of
about one hundred and twenty. The toilets
OF the ladies and the beauty Of tho room
made the sccnea very charming one The
entertainment in the way Of refreshments
was bounteous. Walters from the Bush
House skillfully administered 10 the needs
OF the guests, while Smiths String Band
made the air vibrate with sweet and lively
strains Of music. d. +. Fortney, Esq. our
district attorney, did himself and the or.
der credit In wcll-prepared oration The
pleasure Of the occasion was prolonged
until about II o'clock p. VI. The ladies
were invited and enjoyed the occasion, and
II Is appropriate that they should speak
which several Of their number do in the
following language
Being very kindly invited by the Odd
Fcll"ws to participate IN their Anniycf-
Fniy, on lAst Saturday evening We bog 10
be allowed 90 sAy few wrrds ia your

rFessly for that purpose, its pattern being

liant gathering. Every one wore their hap

mcni success.

EXPLORATIONS ABOUT THE YARD
Tho time has now arrived when explora-
tions on small scale are instituted by tho
proprietor of each well.regulated house
hold, who has small garden attached TO
his premises. IL 1t happens that the
family have changed their residence on
the previous fret of April, these researches
are carried on with additional earnestncss
and the discoveries arc correspondingly
rich. Nearly every family can enjoy,
their own special pleasure and cxultation
over the treasures unearthed, and n vivid
Imagination will lead them TO believe that
they are located on spot which has ilgur-
ed extensively in past history, which is
rich in ancient treasures, and the virtues
of which thcy are the first to discover.
His thoughts occupied with prospective
lettuce and green peas, the husbandman,
on the first warm day, strides forth from
his house, strikes his spade into the soil
and brings up the head of nm antiquatcd
hatchct. lie is surprised, and his memory
being either too long or too short, it oc-
ours 10 him that Indians used hatchets and
hc determines TO examine il more closely
soon. Another spadeful produces some
dilapitatcd crockcry ware, andimmediaicly
grand Indian camping-ground. \ few
old knives accompanying the third spade
ful of earth, excite him 10 such n de-
gree that he calls HE loving wife to his aid
in dcciphering the exact significance Of
these treasures, place safe chimaic on
their value, aud conjecture what further
and greater curiosities are yet in store.
As he erci,edly relates the particulars Of
the discovery to his Matilda Jane, he Is
surprised at not beholding the expected
look of wonder and appreciation and cor
responding excitement oycrspread her
countcnance. Indeed she docs not even
dcign to touch them with her ingurcs, but
continues TO look at them with a look of

ginning to appear less wonderful 70 his
own eye. She turns them over with her
foot and says with disdAnful sniff: Yes,

here were not the incest aud cleAncsi pco-
pie In the world, but | did not think they
would leave all their trAsh behind for
Others TO clean away for them But,

" do you think this really belonged TO the

LAST SATURDAY.-There was no circus,
no fearful storm, nor even Centennial
celebration in Bcllofoaic las, Saturday, bu,
IT wAs a beautiful day and much the gay.
eat of the season thus far. A large number
Of vehicles and people came 70 town dur
ing the day, and at times it vas almost
impossib!o for vecbilcs 70 pAss on our
principal thoroughfare The Cincinnati
firms, which bad been displaying vehicles
on our streets, auc,iuned them or attract
ing large crowd, and keeping up As much
hubbub hs a political mass meeting. There
were several strangers and number Of
our own distinguished people who had been
abroad, whose faces were seen on our
streets on Saturday. There was the dis
unguisbed party from Lancaster who ac-
oompAnicd Mr. j. W. u. BAgsman, the
lecturer, 20 this place--Samucl Reynolds,
ESQ, Rev. DR.. knight and several ladies !;
Senator Alexander and Representative Gcp-
hart, were Also at home also Miss Kate
Curtin, Mrs. Charles Lord Galloway, and
his Honor Judge Mayor favored Bellefonie
with their presence. Towards evening the
scene grew more lively. Ladies and gen.
,lemen in gay toilets thronged the streets,
and every one seemed TO be happy. Then
the Mountain City Band came upon the
scene Arrayed In their dashing uniforms
They played several airs ard oh, whA, in
toxieating, delicious music did they pour
forth from their instruments, the result
Of the past wintery practice. II people
had been pursuing their usual occupations
before this, they were forced now 10 pause
and listen 10 the sweet strains Of music
long drawn out As the hour grew later
the music ceased and every one retired
either TO the lecture or TO the Odd Fellows
reception.

REV. DIR. KgIoHT. Two sermons were
delivered In tho Episcopal church, by
Rev. DIR. knight, of Lancaster, last Sun
day which were much admired for their
beauty, symmetry and deep and charitable
argument In the morning the text was
the latter clause Of the 9Th verse Of 29th
chapter of ST. Matthew--"To what pur-
pose this waste 2" 1t is natural with pco-
to find fault with the good. John the
Baptist, Christ and every Now and Old
Testament hero are instances. A costly
worship is commended and is pleasing 10
God, and whenever worship Is demanded
the costlest and best the giver can afford Is
required. The ancient Temple worship is
AN example. Proper ceremony--as the
folded hand, bowed head, appropriate
gestures, inspiring music and significant
symbol, are also deirable, and serve TO in
tensify true spiritual worship, just as the
love Of "A mother for her child will bc in
creased il she can dcmonstratc 1t by kisses
and signs Of affection. True spiritual wor-
ship was just as necessary when the i'm
posing Temple decorations were ordered by
God ~ it is at this time. There is no more
danger of its leading 10 Romanism now
than there whs danger then in lending 10
ancient Egyptian idolatry--hs the difference
now Ia not one Of mere ycstmcnts, chhli-
ccs and forms, but Of system.
In the evening par, Of st. Luke l0:4l
formed the tcX,-"Mnrtha, Martha, thou
art careful and troubled about many
things." Both Mary and Martha were holy
women, only Mary was the higher type
Christ loved each, and his tone showed
that he would have MarthA, as he would
have us all, rise 20 that higher standard Of
Christian life whore we can indeed learn Of
him and be at peace. 1t is vain for IA to
think that under different conditions we
can live better liycs If this were 80, the
conditions would be changed. If we do
no, each live the bcs; We can now our lives
are failures.
