OPP FELLOWS PARADE.-The six
tieth anniversary of the introduction
of Odd Fellowship into the United
States was celebrated on last Satur
day, by Monongalia Lodge No. 10, of
of this place, in becoming manner
The members of the Lodge assembled
at their Hall after dinner, and were
formed in procession by Judge NJ.
HAYES, who acted as Chief Marshal.
Headed by the Cornet Band, and
clothed in their beautiful regalias,
with gaily decorated emblems, they
made splendid appearance, and
were favorably commented upon by
the citizens and the many strangers
who thronged our streets. After pa
rading the streets, they repaired to
the Academy Hall, where appropriate
addresses were delivered by Hon. G.
c. Sturgiss and Rev. S. Hitchins,
both members of the Lodge. AT the
Hall the Opening Ode was sung by
the Lodge and the band rendered
some choice selections. After the
close of the Lodge at night, the men,
bcrs of the Lodge, with their wives
and sweethearts, went to the Wallace
House, where they sat down to the
best supper ever prepared in Nor
gantown. A notable feature of the
affair was the presence of the wives
and children of deceased members of
the Lodge. The whole affair was
highly creditable to the Lodge.

OBITUARY..
lnercial.

Died, on Wednesday, the 30th of
April, 1879, at the residence of her
uncle, Mr. James II. Rogers, Miss
MARY NJ. BOYD, eldest daughter of
John Boyd, Esq, of Galva, Henry
county, Illinois, aged about thirty
years.
The subject of this notice was born
at Connelsyille, Fayette county, Pa,
but removed to Illinois with her par
ents when quite young, where she
has resided ever since except while
with her friends in Morgantown.-
She received her education in part at
the Seminary of Mrs. Moore, and by
frequent subsequent visits formed
many acquaintance and made many
friends in this town and its vicinity.
Miss Boyd was possessed of good
heart, q bright intellect and a happy
and cheerful disposition. She had
cultivated all the graccs of the Chris
tian religion, which she professed
from her youth, and by her kindness,
her gcntleness, and other social quail
tiles, she was endeared to all who
knew her. She died of consumption
and through a protracted illness she
bore the most excruciating pain and
suffering with the utmost fortitude
and Christian resignation.
A father, mother, one sister, four
brothers and large circle of other
relatives mourn her departure. ***

On last Monday evening" about A
o'clock "Gabc" Holland, Jr., and
James Boyd were down the river, a
short distance below town. near the

something was carefully concealed.
They united the sack and took out
some pieces of crockery, then an old
pair of pants, and then-Me dead

The election on the license ques
ton held in town last Thursday pass
ed off very quietly, not much work
being done by either the license or
anti license men. The majority for
license was %, with a very light
vote out. This, we suppose, will en-
courage the present council to grant
license for the ensuing year. The
regular borough election which will
take place soon can have no iniu-
ence, even if "a temperance council
should be elected, as it has no power
to rcscind the action of the present

Of interest in the election by the tenn
