This city, since Monday, presents an un
usual lively appearance. For months the
merchants were lying on their idle oars
waiting for something to turu up. The
meeting of the Grand Lodge of I. O. of O.
F. has been a long talked ot event, and
at last the time has arrived for the peofle
of the lumber city to reap a harvest. In
fact, the merchant who but a week ago
could lie down on his counter to take a nap
without anything being disturbed, uow
advances to the front door witha huge
smile upon his countenance. Many suppose
Williamsport to be a large city, magnifi
cently build, and lots of 6tamps to back it
up. There are some fine residences, j et, I
confess, they are not uumerous. The busi
ness portion for stores &c, is coniinod, prin
cipally, to one street, extending over about
two squares. The principal business is
lumber, which is very extensive, and there
are, probably, more saw mills to be seen
along the river front than in any other
place in the United States. Were these

the place the town would not amount to as
much as a good sized farm. Feter is the
moving spirit in the place, and by his
numerous enterprises has made William
sport a noted place. Though mauy are
not willing to acknowledge this fact, they,
when conversing about improvements,
readily refer you to "Fete Ilcrdic."
The hotel accommodations are not ample
enough to accommodate all that are visit
ing the city this week, and many are sent
to private houses. My sleeping room is
about a half square away from the hotel.
The landlord had no duubt in view the
danger of sleeping in the fifth story of a
hotel in case of fire. As others were served
in the same manner, 1 could not help be
lieving that the landlord picked his friends
and put them to safe quarters, and that I
must be one of the chosen few who are put
beyond the reach of fire and bed bugs.
Oa Monday 1 met Mayor Powell, a live
ly young man, full of enterprise, and .he
grit to frown down old fogyism. Aud al
though the city debt is perhaps four or five
times larger than Suuburj, the improve
ments are not neglected on his part.
The Grand Lodge of I. a of O. F of
Pennsylvania, Las got lo be a large body.
There are now IKJo lodges, with a member
ship of uearly 100,000. Every lodge has
oue representative. There are, probably,
700 of these repiesentalivcs present, besides
a large uumber of Fast Grands. A synop
sis of the history of the order was published
in the Oazttte and J'mVttia, of Monday,
which will probably prove interesting to
to many wh are little acquainted with its
origin and its rapid progress :
UU1GIX OF THE ORDER.
Some writers place the origin of Odd
Fellowship as far back as the fouiteenth
century, and eay that it was kuowu among
the Goths and IIuus. Others ascribe its
origin to the Roman soldiers at the time of
Nero, and its Lame to the Emperor Titus,
who is alleged to have called them odd fel
'4pws from their singularity. Another
class, anxious to make sure of t lie greatest
possible antiquity, ascribe the origin of the
Order lo Adam. These fables of late years
have been entirely discarded, and its true
origiu is believed to have been among so
cieties of mechanics and laborers in London
in the latter part of the eighteenth century.
ITS I'.IKTII IN THE UXITED 6TATES.
On the 20th of April, 1819-fifty-six
years ago the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows w:is successfully commenced in the
United State?. Washington Lodge, No. 1,
was then founded in the city of Baltimore
by Thomas Wildey, a member of the Order
iu England some twelve years before he
came to this country. After the organiza
tion of several Lodges in Baltimore an ap
plication wa6 made for a dispensation from
the authority f Eugland. This was grant
ed aud received the following year. The.
Lodge continued to work under this au
thority until 1S21', wlien the dispensation
was surrendered, and the "Graud Lodge
of Maryland and of tle United States'" was
orgauized. In 1823 the "Grand Lodge of
the United States" was orgauized iu a
separate and distinct body aside from the
Grand Lodge of Maryland, and a dispensa
tion granted by the Order in Great Britain,
authorizing the said Grand Lodge to con
duct the business uf Odd Fellowship in
America without the interference of any
other country.
Only our meu with Wildey were inter
ested iu forming this Lodge, the first in
America, and by tWiu the germ of what
has become oue of the great benevolent in
stitutions of the age, was'pJanted. Since
that time the Order has grown in power
and influence until it overshadows tlie
iand, cumbers over half a million of mem
bers, aud its beneficent influences are felt
in every part of the republic. Its latest
published records bhow that in 1873 there
was paid in this country for the relief of
brothers. 923,120.83; for education of
orphans, $17"4.38 ; for buryiug the dead,
2.')l,407.OG ; for relief of widowed families,
153,444.93 ; for special donations, ? 1,849.

in Philadelphia, but iu pursuance of
advice from Grand Sire Wildey it after

THE ORDER JS PENNSYLVANIA.
The Order has made great progress in
the Keystone State, aud to-day it occupies
an honorable aud proud position. Accord

News comes from New York that the
Secretary of the Treasury has only broken
fl;e eiust of the whisky frauds, and that a
vast deal wofe of fraud aud villainy re
maius lo be exposed. Parties teeiy to
have sent clandestine oilers of evidence, '
on some terms not understood by us. We
hope that all reliable offers will be accept
ed, and the work of exposure pushed to
the full limit. This country needs the
purification tt.at will attend the breaking
up of silk and whiky frauds, ljut u hib
this good work is going on, we hope that
right measures will be taken to provide
against the recurrence of such frauds.
The fact is thrown in our faces that Eng
land collects three times as much per cal
lou on whisky . ya c)o, and collects it
fully aud without scandal. Why? V-a-cause
she has severe laws and enforces
them. The first utterance of the whisky
Ring, when exposed, was a threat, that
it would break down Rrislow, Grant, and
the Republican party, if a compromise
were not agreed to. Thia shows the se
cret of the wonderful audacity ip wicked
ness that was shown. These men had do
thought of being punished, aud have not
cow. We must learu them that the law
carries a penalty for violation that will be
certainly enforced. Then we mu6t reach
right meu for office. It does not appear
that there were so many corrupt as ineffi
cient men in charge of the Internal Reve
nue. Strong, honest, alert meu are needed
lor the places to be filled.

Ken'TUCKy speaks on the third-term
bugbear as follows : "Resolved, That the
attempt of the Democratic leaders to create
the impression that our patriotic President
ifesiivs or seeks a re-election for a third
term is an absurd device to disrupt the Re
publican party and produce a division be
tween it and the President ; the charge has
no foundation iu fact, and cannot mislead
the people of the country into a restoration
of that party to power which came so near
destroying the Union of our fathers. 'J
This is the sixth Republican State conven
tion which has declared in this way, a fact
which ought to satisfy even the most hys
terically nervous Conservatives.
The Postmaster General has put his
foot dowu on gift enterprises, lotteries, &c.
He has ordered the postmaster at Cincin
nati not to pay to one L. D. Sine, alleged
to be conducting tjgift enterprise, any post
al money order. The money is to be re
mitted upon proper application.
An intelligent Republican of Bucks Co.,
recently remarked : '1 did not vote for Gov
ernor Hartrauft iu 1872, because I had not
then full confidence iu him ; but I shall
support him this year with the greatest
pleasure. He has been a good officer in
every way, and deserves a re-election at the
hands of the people.' This niau'y declara
tion no doubt expresses the position of
thousands of voters iu Pennsylvania. It
is well known that for various reasons
many Republicans did not vote for (Jen.
Hartrauft three years ago either support
ing Buckalew or not voting at all for Gov
ernor. There were several hundred such
men in Bucks county. But we are safe in
saying that nearly or quite all of them are
now satisfied with his course, and arc
ready to support him cordially next No
vember. His administration is confessedly
one pf the best the State has ever known
m i,j8 decisions. The respect due to the
Executive oflicer has not been diminished
j jriujr his incumbency. It is therefore
not surprising that men who doubted him
three years ago often because of untruth
ful accusations now regard the Governor
with the fullest confidence and respect, and
are more than ready to reverse their form
er action in regard to him. The good will
of this elemeut alone is a long step toward
his triumphant re-election ; and wheu wc
consider that he will receive the regular
vote of his party without a break there ap
pears to be scarcely a doubt that he will be
chosen to serve another term.
It has beeu reported that John Siney,
1 the leader of the strikers in the coal region,
I has been arrested on the charge of con
I spiracy ou oath of Capt. Clark. The

enough to hriug him within reach of the
statute against incitiug riot, and he should
not be allowed to say any more. To him
and others like him, who make money out
of the troubles between employers and
workmen, the violence aud outbreaks of
the present strike are mainly due. To
lead a mob in an actual attack not only at
tests Siney 8 earnestness,which the shrewd
er miners suspect, but magnifies his im
portance, iucreaees subscriptions, and adds
to his ercentage of the same, lie profits
by turbulence, aud it is his business, to
stir up dissensious by the most reckless
appeals to the passions and prejudices of
the ignorautand unthinking. If the miners
should go to work again to-morrow, on any
terms whatever, Siney and his mates
would be out of a job. His wages cease
when legitimate industry begins. Idleness
is his opportunity and brokeu peace his
gain. He iu a dangerous person, aud should
lie put where he will do the least harm.
The Posinastcr General has just issued
a circular prescribing the rates of postage
under the general postal union coucluded
at Berne, Switzerland, October 9, 1874, be
tween the United States and all of the pow
ers of Europe excepting France. The uui
forui union rates of postage to be levied
and collected in the United States on cor
respondence to and from tlie whole extent
of the postal union, without distinction,
shall be as follows : For prepaid letters,
five cents per fifteen grammes ; for unpaid
letters, teu cents per fifteen grammes ; for
newspapers, if not over four ounces iu
weight, two cents each ; for other printed
matter, samples of merchandise and all
articles other than newspapers enumerated
in article four of the treaty, two ceuts er
cash weight of two ounces or ftaction there
of. These rates will be levied and collected
on and after July 1, 1875, on the corres
pondence to and from all the contracting
fetalcg except France ; and ou and after
January 1, 1870, ou the correspondence to
and from France,
James Black, one of the most rampaut
Democrats iu the State, is the leading
spirit in the movement to put a State tem
perance ticket in the field, knowing as he
does that its support will be drawn almost
entirely from the Republicans. There is
every reason to believe that, the temperance
partv is a Democratic dodge to carry the
State for their candidates. After the ex
perience of last fall, aud the action of the
Democracy in our State Legislature it
would seem that temperance Republicans
1 should be able to sec into the grindstone,
but if they choose to experiment with Demo
cratic victories again, why perhaps the
rcBt can stand it as they can.
Oue of the most extensive and disastrous
complications in the hist ry of labor agita
tion is the lock-out of colliers and iron
workers iu youth Wniep, which iiommented
February 1st, and became general. One
hundred and twenty thousand workmen
were thrown out of work by this move
ment, representing with their families a
population of about half a million. The
coul miners h which production is now
wholly stopped have yielded au average of
400,000 tons a week. Then engiuo pumps
have beeu kept going, the men being as
willing as the owners to have this done.
The Austraiu ship Jennie, at New York,
from Matnnzas, uuder Captain Gary, nar
rowly ooapiid Lciugawsiupcd. several im
mense waterspouts v hjle off (Jape Hat
teras. The officers of the vessel say these
waterspouts were the largest they had ever
seen. The largest covered an area of half
a mile or more, and were at least one thou
sand feet in height, reaching far up into
the air, said t.fi oil salt, and was there met
by an inyerted conp, just fike the ptl(er,
which seemed to have come down from the
luavens to meet it. They were described
as tall columns, appareutly of mist or
spray, but in reality dense bodies of water,
reaching from the sea to the clouds and
moving along with great rapidity. The
crew broke several by finpg guns into
them, the coucussion of the air causing
them to burst. When tliey tumbled back
into the sea with a fearful splash, the water
was fairly white with foam.

A dispatch from Pottsvillc, says that ou
Sunday, near Hamburg, St. Michael's
Lutheran and Reformed church was dedi
cated. A large concourse of people came
from the surrounding country to witness
the dedication. During the services a fire
broke out in a grove where a large number
of horses aud carriages were tied to trees.
The ground being thickly covered with
leaves and brush, the fire spread with
great rapidity, and before the teams could
be reached nine horses peiisbed in the
flames, and five more were burned so
severely that it was necessary to kill tlieai
to be put out of agouy aud paiu. Seven
teen vehicles were entirely destroyed. The
teams were principally owned by farmers.
Mahanoy City is surrounded by fires on

Some years ago there was rolled iu this
city a piece of sheet iron l-1000th of au
inch iu thickness. This at the time was
thought, to be somethiug wouderful, aud it
was sent to Eugland ; where, some time af
terward, a still thiuuer sheet was rolled.
Both these specimens of thin iron, however,
are thick in comparison with a sheet that
was recently rolled at a mill iu this city,
and which we have seen. It would require
10,000 such sheets as we alluded to, to
make an inch in thickness. There may be
seen at this office still another sheet, re
cently rolled at the same mill, that is
l-700th of an iuch in thickness. It is ap
pareutly about as thin as tissue paper, is
jeifect iu every respect, and has a beauti
ful, rich, dark lustre, resembling the smooth
surface of graphite. What would perhaps
be the most surprising part of the history
of these thin sheets we cannot give without
violatiug confidence.
The eighty-third birthday of Pope Pius
IX. was celebrated with grat rejoicings at
Rome on Thursday. Tlie line of Pontiffs
of the Roman Church has been marked
for longevity, twelve of Pio Nono's prede
cessors having attained the age of eighty
four years, which seems to Ik; the allotted
time. There are mauy predictions, of
course, that his Holiness will not see an
other birthday, though he seems to be in
better health at the preseut than at any
time for two years past. Pio Nono's
reigu has beeu oue memorable in length of
time, as well as in events, and the Church
has uudergone many of its important
chauges and crises during his administra
tion. In his twenty-nine years' reign the
Pope has created ninety-nine cardinals, of
whom fifty-seven still survive.
The Vineland Shooting. Mr. Car
ruth, the Vineland editor who was shot
through the head by Mr. Landis, still lives,
and his case is remarkable iu the annals of
surgery. His homoeopathic doctors, who
were called iu the case to the exclusion of
one of the most celebrated surgeons of
Philadelphia, have given him but oue me
dicine from the beginning. They have ad
ministered aruica internally, with the view
to prevent inllammation, aud have not yet
attempted any surgical operation. The
orifice of the wound is in fact contracted,
aud the use of the probe is considered inju
rious. The ball is supposed to have lodged
near the eye, upon the skull, and should it

A Fatal Practical Joke. A prac

Yan, was killed by his brother-in-law,
George Pierce, Thursday night, 13th inst.
Cole came home and knocked at the door
for a joke. When atked "Who's there V
ho answered, "Your money, or your life !'
Not being admitted, he went to the rear of
the house, and pulliug off his boots he
climbed upon the shed, aud effected his
entrance through a window. Mr. Pierce,
who sleeps down stairs, heaving hjm, prjed
out, "Don't come into this house or I will
kill you.." Seizing a butcher knife, he
started up stairs. Mr Cole nil the time
silent, stood at the head of the stairs in
the dark to receive him. Mr. Pierce im
mediately grappled with the assassin, and
during the re-eucouutre cut his throat with
a butcher knife, severing the jugular veiu.
Tlie young man exclaimed, "You have
killed Edward Cole I My poor wife and
children I? and died. Mr. Pierce is about
thirty-eight years of age, and ono of the

Adulterated Lard. A correspon

pouuds he found sis much ns 22 pounds of
this foreign matter, and iu another lot.
weighiug 43J pounds, he found 12, pouuds
of a similar substance. Another case, the
analysis of some American lard, showed
that it contained from ten to twelve per

alum, and about one per cent, of quick
limethe alum, it is presumed, being for
the purpose of communicatiug to the lard

II.ULEWN, May 14, Tho newest fea
tures in the new strike is the distinction
that is showing a3 regards the nationality
of the strikers. In this region the Welsh
as a class are more intelligent than tlie
Irish, and, after euduring the hardships oc
casioned by the strike for over four months
are beginning to tiro of it. Their ernings
are ahuoit exhausted, aud they see that
somethiug must be done. They are becom
ing couscious that the operators will not
yield, and they see that it is useless to de
prive their families any longer of the com
forts of life.
Mauy are uow willing to work, atd will
do so if protected. The Irish are very bitter
against them for their course, and threaten
dire vengeauce ifthey yield. There is no
doubt the Welsh power has not had a fair
representation in the imion, the Irish hold
ing oaices of distiuction and enumeration
and their will has controlled the whole
union, to the surprise of all who knew the
superior intelligence of the Welsh.
That a change will be made is evident
and the Irish will have to make con
cessions or loose a heavy share of their
members. The Welsh have made a demon
stration over 300 strong, with not an Irish
man in their ranks. This has started the
ball rolling, and will travel throughout
the mining region. At some of the mines
the operators have received confidential
notes from miners offering to work on the
new basis if protected. The Irish say
that the men giving in are all Welsh, and
denounce them in language not calculated
to make the bonds of the union auy stron
ger. Disatisfactiou is spreading rapidly
and will termiuate iu a rupture between
the two nationalities.

HIS DEATH AT LEXINGTON.
Lexington, Ky., May 17. General
John C. Breckinridge died this afternoon.
John Cubell Breckinridge was born near
Lexington, Kentucky, January 21, 1821.
He was of an old and distinguished Ken
tucky family, and the best blood of that
State, so pre-eminently proud iu regard to
lineage, (lowed in his veins. His grand
father, John B. Breckinridge, served with
distinction iu the United States Senate, and
others of his family held positions of more
or less importance. He was educated at
Centre College, in his native State, and im
mediately after his graduation commenced
the study of law at Transylvania Institute,
after a due preparation, iu which he was
admitted to the bar at Lexington, and en
tered upou a career which held apparently
as bright promise as often attends the
launching of a uew adventurer upou the.
sea of life. Nothing seemed loo extrava
gant to the hopes of proud friends as he
developed year by year the qualities which
all believed him possessed of, and as he
arose step by step in his upward progress,
almost until the closing and darkest years
ofhislife, in fact, those hopes were ever
rekindled by fresh realizations. After re
siding at Burlington, Iowa, for a short time,
he returned to Lcxiugton, and almost at
once gamed au extensive and lucrative
practice, aud for soyouug a mau a remark
able reputation, which increased year by
yeaj until he shortly rauked as one of the
foremost in the profession iu his native
State. The call to arms at the breaking
out of the Mexican war fired hia latent
military ardor, and he entered the service
with enthusiasm, received a commission
as major aud served with distinction.
During the famous court-martial of Gener
al Pillow he particularly distinauished him
self as the counsel of that officer. On his
return to Kentucky he was elected to the
State Legislature. In 1851 he was elected
to represent his district in Congress, and
served in that capacity until 1855. The
mission to Spain was tendered him by Pre
sident Peirce, but was declined. In 1S50
he was elected Vice President ou the De
mocratic ticket with James Buchauan. In
1801 he succeeded Hon. John J. Crittenden
iu the Senate. He was nominated for Pre
sident by the extremists of the Democracy
in 1SG0. Iu the secession movement be
committed the first great blunder and fatal
error of his life in turning his back upon
the Union, of which he might have been a
notablo champion, and 'cast bis lot with
those whose aim was to destroy it. Thence
commenced his downfall. Even in the
Confederacy, with which, there is Vsuson,
to believe, he had but a half sympathy, he
found no compensation for the houors he
had cast from him, and his. record therein
is entirely iu.siguiflcant. He was expelled
from the Senate, December 4, 1801, and re
ceived the poor compensation therefor of a
major-geueral'a commission iu the army
of the rebels.
He served throughout tlie war without
attracting special attention in any way,
though he hold quite important commands
at times, From January until April, 1S05,
ho was Secretary of War of the Confederacy.
After the surrender he went to Europe,
where he remained some years.
Since his return to his native land he
has almost disappeared from public view,
though had he lived it is possible that he
might again have appeared in some pro
minence. He has, however, been a suffer
er for soruo time from au obscure disease,
la led to be the result of a wouud received
while fightiug against his couutry, and this
disease has finally had a fatal result.
Thus he bus never risen above the ill
fortune which has attended him since his
fatal blunder iu 1801, and a name that
once bid fair lo rank amoug the proudest
of his time iu his country's annals has gone
out in obfurity. Phihidelildn Inquirer.

' Washington, May 13.
The Secretary of the Treasury says that
much of the credit of bringing the frauds
to light is due to the efficiency and skill of
the Solicitor, who was selected for this
work iu consequence of his experience and
success in the prosecution of similar cases
of fraud while he held the position of Uni
ted States District Attorney.
This afternoon the Sioux Indians who
arrived here Saturday night and Monday
morning called at the Interior Department
to pay their respects to the Commissioner
of Indian Affairs. The Indians were all
attired in their feathers, paint and trinkets.
The Cheyenne River Indians, under
Agent Bingham, arrived first, and were
shown iuto the ante-room, when they were
introduced to the Commissioner in the or
der of their rank, Lone Horn being first.
They were accpmpanied by William Fiel
der as interpreter, who has been with the
Sioux twenty-two years, having aeen cap
tured when a child, and whose parents, a
brother and two sisters were killed by Crow
Indians.
Shortly after Spotted. Tail and his dele
gation appeared, and were introduced in
the order of their rank. Spotted Tail wore
hia new black silk hat, and when introduc
ed said, "How art you ?" in pretty good
English. They were soon followed by Red
Cloud and the Ogallallas, who were each
introduced, shaking hands, with a loud
"How ?"
Commissioner Smith said : "Some of you
have been in Washington before ; but that
was before I was here, and you are all'
strangers to me though I know something
about you. I am glad to see you. 'How'
by the chiefs. I suppose you have simply
come to shake hands, so that we can look
each other in the face and get acquainted.
'How.' Your Great Father will not be
able to see you to-day, but perhaps be will
do so to-morrow. I have sent for another
interpreter, who will be here this evening,
so that we will make no mistake in what
we say to one another. I want all the in
terpreters to keep their ears open, and if
they dont understand, say so on the spot.
'How. Now, I don't want yon to find
fault with your agent unless you have good
cause, and I believe you won't do so, but
if you have anything to say, I want you to
speak your whole mind. I hope you will
enjoy your stay at Washington, and go
back feeling that yon have good friends
trere." 'How.'
After a paose, Red Cloud rose, and ad
vancing to Commissioner Smith and shak
ing hands, said : "When I speak I always
call on the Great Spirit to hear me, because
I tell the truth. The white men lella me
lies, and 1 became so troubled I want
ed to come to Washington and see the
Great Father himself and talk with him.
That is why I have come to see you."
Here he took hia seat.
A moment later he rose again and said,
" When I spoke of white men telling lies, I
did not mean the white men present."
Laughter, in which some of the chiefs
joined.
Spotted Tail advanced smiling, and shakr
ing hands said : "I am glad to see you:
and if you can do anything to help me to
day I want you to do it, and we help each
other. I haven't got much to say to-day.
I have brought my own interpreters, aud I
want you to hear what they have to say.
now! How !' I have one friend in
Washington ; he treated me good when I
was here before, and 1 want to go to him
again."
The interpreter explained that he meant
the Washington House, where he stopped
on a previous visit.
Commissioner Smith said these interpre
ters could come in whenever they chose.
As for Spotted Tail's quarters, he already
had made arrangements which he could
not very well change.
White Swan said he had some business
with the Great Father which could not be
transacted in one visit. He must see him
more than once.
The Commissioner said he must remem
ber that the Great Father has the care of
so many people that he could give them
but little time. He would let them know
when the Great Father would see them.
He introduced Gov. Thayer, of Wyoming.
The Indians then visited the model-room
of the Patent Office.
