Thrown jtuoM a IIoese, A
young man named James Carter,
a resident of Benton county, return
ing home from this city on last
Saturday after the Democratic Con
vention adjourned (probably con-
siderably excited by the doings of
said Convention), fell or was thrown
from his horse, falling on bis bead
with such violence as to deprive
him for some hours of all conscious
ness of sublunary things. Dr. D.
31. Jones was sent for and went
immediately to big relief, W was
unable to establish foil and complete
relations with his patient and things
terrestrial until about daylight the
next day. lie found himself, after
recovering his wonted reasoning
pow ers, pretty badly battered and
shook up, bat no bones broken,
and will soon be all right again.
We had the pleasure of being
present at the meeting of tbe Evan

excellent sapper, at the residence

CKLKBRATTON OF TUB FIFTY-FIFTH
ANNtVRRSARY OF ODD FKI.UtW
SHIP IN THE U. S. IN' THIS CITY.
On last Sunday occurred the
fifty-firth anniversary of Odd Fel
lowship in the United States. On
the 26th day of April, 1819,
Thomas Wildey, an Englisntaan,
instituted at Baltimore, Md., the
first lodge of Odd Fellows in
America, naming it Washington
Lodge No. 1. From that time to
the present, Odd Fellowship has
grown and flourished, until to-day
Lodges of Odd Fellows are to be
found in every State and Territory
of this Union, with a membership
more than two hundred thousand
strong. With the motto "Friend
ship, Love and Truth," the order
is marching on, spreading its mitrjity
arms across tiie ocean to the home
of our German brothers, and among
the islands that dot the bosom of
the mighty ocean, until soon its
beneficial influences will be seen
and felt in every laud, and its
praises sang by every tongue.
Probably in no other portion of the
Union is Odd Fellowship more
prosperous or its membership so"
enthusiastic as right here on the
Pacific coast. The grand mission
of Odd Fellowship being to visit
the sick, succor the distressed, bury
the dead, and provide for the widow
and orphan, it could not fail to
attract the attention and receive the
generous and even enthusiastic sup
Krt of the very best portion of our
citizens. The benefits of the order
are almost numberless, and its in
fluence for good is felt on every
hand;
The membership of Albany
Lodge No. 4, fee ling that the occa
sion should not l)c alio ved to pass
without same appropriate action on
their part, resolved to celebrate Jhe
ccas'n by a grand parade, oration,
etc., and wind up with a grand
ball and sociable in the evening
.Monday the 27th was selected as
.1. ,1 1 I x . I 1 . T
me uay on wnicn 10 eeieoraie, and
invitatfons were sent to the different
T i , , 0, ,
Indues throughout the State to
KirticHiatO with lis on tlin rwasirni
The dav was all that could be
desiretl, bright and cheerful, 'the
rains of the two previous days hav
ing laid the d 11st and cooled and
purified the atmosphere. About
ten o'clock delegations from the
Lodges of Corvallis, Lebanon, and
other points began to arrive, and
shortly after twelve o'clock the
steamer Alice, containing tbe dele
gation from Salem, consisting of
three Lodges and one Encampment,
landed her precious freight at our
wharf. This was the big delega
tion ot the day, numbering between
one and two hundred persons,
accompanied by the Salem Brass
Band, and having its own Marshal,
banners, etc. However, the Salem
boys are "true blue," never doing
anything by halves, but always
getting themselves up in good
shape, regardless of expense. Soon
after the cars brought down the
members of Wimewbala Encamp
ment, from Eugene City, together
with members of other Lodges from
various points in the State. There
were probably five hundred mem
hers of the order in the city on that
day. Shortly after 1 o'clock. P.
M. the procession wag formed by
Grand Marshal, Dave Thompson,
and Assistand Marshal, Jos. Web
ber.and A. N. Arnold, at Odd
Fellows' Hall on First street, and
marched out to Hackleman's grove
in the following
order :
1. Banner of Albany Lodge No.
i
2. Albany Brass Band.
8. President and Orator of the
day.
4. Members of Lodges.
5. Salem Brass ljand.
6. Members of Encampments.
7. Citizens.
Promptly at tbe command of the
Grand Marshal the procession took
up the following
LINK OK MARCH '.
Up First street to Washington ;
up Washington to Fifth down
Fifth to Baker, and fronvBaker to
Ilackkman's grove, just in the eas
tern suburbs of the city, the bands
playing by turns throughout almost
the entire march.
Reaching the grove the pro
cession was dismissed until 3
o'clock, to partake of a lunch pro
vided by the members of Albany
Lodge for their guests.
At 3 o'clock the meeting was
called to order by the Graud
Marshal. The President, Walter
Ketchum, then announced the fol
lowing order of exercises, which
were carried out :
1. Music by the Band.
2. Prayer by the chaplain, Bro.
Miller.
3. Music by tbe Baud.
4. Oration by Bro. D. K. Nes
bit, 5. Music by the Band.
The oration delivered by Bro.
Xesbit was a master effort the
finest oration we have listened to
on the Pacific coast. It met the
universal approbation of the mem-
bers of the order, and was the sub-
ject of the highest encomiums from
those present who were not mem-
berfl of the order. 'But as we have ' tract crowded houses in the Fast, : mriE EXCITEMENT ' bi Portland is t&n

IN THE EVaXIXG.
A sociab'e was held at Odd
Fellows' Hall, which was crowded,
and a pleasant time had by the
participants at leat they ought to
have enjoyed tjieniselves, as there
was enough present to get away
with any amounty of jdarity, not
letting any of it spoil.
The ball, held at Pacific Opera
House, under the management and
for the benefit of the Rebekah's,
was the most successful, party ever
given in this city. The hall was
full, bnt not too full for enjoyment,
there being something over two
hundred persons present. The
music was uuexccptionable, the
calling in Charley Graham's best
style, and as there was no faul'. to
find, enjoyment was universal.
The ball supper was the grandest
thing in the way of eatables that ever
went anywhere, and we don't care
who knows. It is just as impossible
for us to describe the magnifioent
spectacle that burst upon our vision
when we entered the supper ball,
as it would be tor any other com
munity on this coast to excel it.
We say it without fear of successful
contradiction that, tor variety and
excellence of the viands there dig.
played, and the artistic manner in
which they were placed upon the
tables, the very topmost piiiuacle of
excellence was reached. What
more can we say? The total re
ceipts of the ball were some
8402 37f The net proceeds, after
paying all the expenses of the ball
as well as the day's celebration,
was $148.
LvnEPKN-DEXT CoiNTY Con

reap a rich reward for their enter
