THE local Odd Fellows here learn with
regret of the calamity that has fallen up
on the order in Burlington, by reason of
Sunday afternoons fire. Green Noun
tain and Hamilton Lodges, writes AL
derman Hall, together with the encamp-
ment, Rebekahs, Canton and all, lose
everything. The records are gone with
the charters. However, Mr.. Hall thinks
the order will now build building of
its own, project that has been mooted
for years. The semi-centennial of the
institution of Green Mountain Lodge,
and of the Introduction of the order in
to the State, which was to have been
celebrated soon, will needs be postponed
little. The preliminary arrangements
for this celebration were made at the
late Grand Lodge session IN Newport.
There is an insurance covering about
one-half of the loss. The valuable rec.
ords cannot be replaced with money.
