Odd Fellowship.
The Order to Appear in Regalia in
Astoria To-day-
Literary and Musical Exercises.
The sixtieth anniversary of Odd
Fellowship in America will be celebra
ted to-day wherever the flag of the
Three-Links float in this union, by
some sort of ceremonial, in many
instances grand and imposing.
Beaver Lodge No. 35, which now
numbers a membership of nearly one
hundred, will suitably observe the
day The fraternity will meet at the
hall at ten o'clock a. m. sharp, and
after the services laid down by th
National Lodge will form in proces
sion, preceded by the Astoria Brass
23anct, .and after marching through the
principal streets will halt at Metro
politan hall, where an oration will be
delivered by Rev. J. T. Wolfe, and
where a choir of ladies and gentlemen
will entirta;n the public in a credit
able manner. All sojourners of the
Order in the city are respectfully in
vited to join the procession, and the
public in general afe invited to be
present at the exercises.
The origin of Odd Fellowship is un
doubtedly of great an tiquity. It has
been said by Mr. Cooper of Scotland,
an Antiquarian and a man of learn
ing, who had made deep research into
the origin of Odd Fellowship, that it
was first established by the Roman
soldiers during the reign of Nero, in
the year 55. At that time they were
called Fellow Citizens. The name of
Odd Fellows was given them by Titus
Caesor in the year 79 34 years after
its formation, and just 1,800 3Tears
ago. This name was given them from
the singularity of their notions, and
from their knowing e-ch other by
night or by day. At the same time
he presented them with a dispensation
engraven on a plate of virgin gold,
bearing different emblems, the same
that are yet used and are recognized
by Odd Fellows. This was presented
as a pledge of perpetual friendship.
We hear of Odd Fellows being
established in the Spanish dominions
as early as the 5th century, and in
the 6th century the King of Portu
gal founded the order in his king
dom. In the 12th century it was
established in France, from thence
i very soon found its way into Eng
land, where it became established
principally, through the exertion of
Sir John De Neville and live Knights
of France. This Lodge was called
the "Loyal Grand Lodge of Honor,"
and was in existence until the reign of
George III, when some of the sub
ordinate lodges desiring to form a
union, and others opposing it. the
"Loyal Grand Lodge of Honor" dis
solved itself, and from its ruins arose
the ''Loyal Ancient Odd Fellows,"
the "Union Odd Fellows" and the
"Manchester Unity Odd Fellows."
Most of these orders are still extant.
The Union Odd Fellows were located
in the city of London. Some of the
members of this society living in
Manchester, formed themselves into
a Lodge about the vear 1800, and con
tinued auxiliary to the Union Order
for a certain time when a separation
occurred on account of some difference
arising between them, when this lodge
declared itself independent, and has
over since been known as the "Inde
pendent Order of Odd Fellows." Odd
Fellowship in the United States is of
much more recent date, the first
Lodge in this country was established
in the city of New York in 18'c)6, and
was known as the "Shakespear Grand
Lodge of Odd Fellows." It was in
existence but a few 3rears. Another at
tempt was made in the year 1816, a
Lodge was formed and given the name
of " Prince Regents Lodge," which
was of shorter duration than the
former. The next ett'ort put forth in
this direction met with better re
sults. This was in the year 1819,
April 20th, at Baltimore. The cliarter
"Wildy. John Welch, John Duncan,
members of this Lodge were Thus.
John Cheatham and Richard Rush
worth. This Lodge received its war
rant, dispensation, or charter, from
Duke of York Lodge of the Inde
pendent Order of Odd Fellows, held
at Preston, England, and was di
rected to Washington Lodge, No. 1.
From this small beginning with five
members in 1819, we now, in less
than 60 years, embrace in our order
in the United States 48 Grand Lodges,
about 7,000 subordinate Lodges such
as this, and a membership numbering
500,000. Surely Odd Fellowship
must have something commendable
in it, or its growth would not have
been so rapidly, so unprecedented in
the annals of history. At the pres
ent time there is no civilized country
on the globe that is unacquainted
with Odd Fellowship. Wherever civ-
iliration is the most advanced, there

most promising lodges in this juris
diction, and we trust that the members
will turn out en masse to-day, and
that people generally will be present,
to listen to the oration by Bro. Wolfe,
and hear something of the objects and
purposes of the order, as well as be
entertained by the music and exer
cises which will be held at Metropoli
tan hall.
The Virginia state senate has re
fused to enact the bill making it a
felony to commit an assault with a
cowhide. The bill fixed the penalty
at not less than five nor more than
ten years in the state prison, together
vith a fine not exceeding $500 Only
one senator spoke in opposition to the
measure, which was nevertheless tabled
by a vote of 12 to 10.
The Maine Legislature intended
to cut the governors salary down to
$1,500 a year, but bunglingly worded
the act so as to empower him to draw
that amount every three months.
Among Boston's April fools were
eighteen insurance men, who went to
the Parker house, arrayed in evening
dress, to eat an imaginary dinner.
