CRYSTAL LODGE A NNINERSARY .—Last
evening was the fifth anniversary of Crystal
Lodge, K. of 11. of this borough, and the oc
casion was rendered memorable by very in
teresting exercises. The large hall in which
the Lodge meets was well filled—some two
hundred members and invited guests being
present. Dictator I)r. D. L. PRATT, was
master of ceremonies. After singing tin;
ope ning ode of the Order, Rev. Doctor .STEW
ART offered prayer, which was followed by
an address of welcome, couched in most ap
propriate and lifting words, by the Dictator.
Rev. C. 11. WEIGHT delivered a carefully
prepared address, dtscriptive of die Order,
its aims and objects, and was listened to with
attention and evident interest, by the breth
ren and guests. Past Dictatoa BOWMAN, of
Loyal Sock Lodge, being in the audience,
made some timely remarks. There was sin
cere regret expressed on account of the indis
position of Brother Km RIDGE, which pre
vented him from giving an interesting history
of Crystal Lodge; no one is better qualified
for such an office, as Mr. K. has always taken
a deep interest in everything pertaining to
the order and lodge, and is probably better
posted on the subject than any other member
in this section. Mr. S. W. RODGERS gave
some interesting statistics and information,
and read a beautiful little poem founded
on the mystic momigram, "O. M. A." But
the most eloquent and convincing arguments
to the great and good work being accomplish
ed and the rapid growth of the beneficent or
der, were the figures on the walls, proclaim
ing in golden characters that over #2,170,000
has been paid to the widows and orphans of
deceased brothers; that in seven years 2,000
lodges have been instituted, with an aggre
gate membership of 70,000. In tivcyesrs Crys
tol lodge has grown from ten members to
sixty.
Mrs. BALDWIN and Miss SMITH kindly ad
ded to the pleasure of the audience by exhibi
tions of their vocal powers. They are both
good vocalists and did themselves credit and
won the applause of all present.
When the '* feast of reason " had subsided,
the sisters of Mystic lodge spread a bountiful
collation to which all present did ample jur
tice, At eleven o'clock the party began to
disperse, ieeling that " it had been good for
them to be there."
The entertainment cannot fail of good re
sults !o Crystal lodge, as many of our most
intelligent and refined citizens were present.
Many of our citizens who have never used
the Loyal Sock are doing so this year. Why?
Because it is from one dollar to one dollar
and twenty-five cents chapcr than the harder
coals, and it gives as good satisfaction.
Superintendent's Notes.
January 13. — Visited the following schools :
Towanda, Scott's, Laura McGill; Nail Works,
Clayton Osborn; Wysox, Fairview, F. A.
Thompson; Laning, Cyntha Bull.
Scott's school is small but interest and good
work manifest. Mr. Osborn has a large
school, and is succeeding finely. He ought to
have power to compel a number of larger
' boys—not pupils to attend school, who spend
i most of the day riding down hill near the
school house —or better, we should have a
1 compulsory law. Mr. Thompson is a thoro.
teacher and good disciplinarian—well adapted
jto the charge of some Graded School. His
drill of small pupils in reading, and on large
finely colored wall maps of Bradford county,
! and Wysox twp., made by pupils, was excel
lent. A much larger attendance than usual
at the Laning school, is the best evidence of
the success of the teacher.
