PLYMOUTH.

April 80. 1.-The S9th anniversary of
Odd Fellowship was observed here by
a grand ball on the evening of the
25th, which proved a success both
financially aud socially. The attend
ance was beyond expectations, as
most all of the towns in the county
we're represented, as we'll as Placer
Vile, Latrobe and other towns of our
neighboring county. Appropriate
music was rendered by the celebrated
Bowers orchestra, and the raviola and
chicken supper could not have been
better. while the decorations both in
the ball room and dining room gave
a touch of beauty to all. Much
credit is due the committee of
arrangements for the. able manner in
which they conducted the evening s
proceedings.
b. Levaggi, accompanied by two
other gentlemen, was riding down the
Bay State road Tuesday, when his
horse took a sudden notion TO speed
down hill. Falling, he threw the
occupants OF the vehicle out. Mr.
Levaggi sustained a bruised eye, the
wagon was damaged to a small extent
while the horse came out the worst of
all, having been skinned up very
much.

tiers, Sadie and Florence, who have
been here visiting friends and re-
Iatives for the past week, returned to
their home in Sacramento Wednes-
day.

for the city yesterday, where she will
remain until after fleet time"
Last evening farewell reception
was rendered Messrs. Will and Jasper
Phillips and their families in De-
vore's hall. When all had assembled,
and quiet restored Thomas Davis,
principal of the Plymouth school,
rendered some very appropriate re-
marks, which were pleasinglY re
sponded to by both Will and Jasper,
and their wives. They all departed
this morning for below, where they
intend residing permanently. Mr.
and Mrs Will Phillips have rented
their home to Il. e.. Dugan and wife,
who intend to move in about the
