O. F.——The Grand T.édge of Odd Felows closed their annual mecting on the 11th at Sacramento. city. The attendance .was very large, considering how hard it is fora mam to be qualified to become a Past Grand and none others ean sit in the Grand Lodge. A. man must faithfully serve and have the full eonfidence of the members of a subordinate Lodge ‘for two years to reach that high position.-— Ilernee very few but men of moral bearing and industrious habits ever attain to that degree of eminence-—yet it is much more difficult to hold suflicient influence over the members of the Grand Lodge to become its master. But some ove must hold those high positions. ‘The Grand Master for the last year not only filled the place with honor to himself and_ benefit to the Order+-but so commanded the estecm of his brotber Past Grands as to receive at their hands a most beautiful watch Sud chain, presented by his successor, Dr. Morse. The speeches on the occasion woukl have read well on the pages of the history of Odd Fellowship and should have been preserved. Dr. Johu I’. Morse is the Grand Master for this year.’ No better selection could have been made. He is able, benevolent, hovest aud industrious and in every way qualified to perform the duties of his high office. There are twenty-six Lodges now at work in this state, what a change since ‘the Pioncer band © of the Odd Fellow’s association in Sacramento city in August 1849, threw out their banner of charity and spent:thousands of Dollars for the relief of hundreds, helpless and destitute in a strange land without home and friends ; those were the days to try: men’ssouls. ITow pleasant it must be for Gen. Winn, Dr. Morse, Gen. Miles aiid others to reflect upon their cflorts at relief andlook upon the grand phalanx now hovering around the nucleus of sacrificing Friendship, Love and Truth. . An Iowa Verdict.—They have some queer jurymen in lowa. Ashort -time since an old toper died rather suddenly — the coroner, in Consequence, held an inquest—listened to the testimony of a physiclan—and was about to return® a verdict . ‘water on the brain,’ wheu Mr. Slocum . Popplepodis riz to object. ‘Mr. Coroner, iJ have known the deceased for ten mortal years, and I know he has never seed a so‘ber moment in all that.time.” To say that such a man can die of ‘water onthe brain,’ is therefore d——d nonsense. It can’t be did! Cause why? He never took any into his system. The true verdict, Mr. Coroner, should be, gin, rum, or, brandy on the brain, but as I cannot get such a verdict, I am willing to split the difference— compromise—and bring in a verdict as follows ;—‘Died-from the effects of brandy and water on the brain.’ The compromise. was agreed to, and the above verdict is “a ‘part and parcel of the recorded.-doings of secant as cenaetaeagienilnsatenannete ntsc nent . lowa. , pao . .

For the first five years mentioned in the statement—namely, to 3ist December, 1852-.the actual expenses over and above the charges amounted to $305,812 90-—being an average expense to the United States, during the period of 61,162 58 dollars annually. During the past year, namely, to 31st December, 1853---the coinage at Philadelphia, instead of being an expense, has been a source of profit —-the sum of 102,420 96 dollars having been realized therefrom over and above the expenses Washington Union, March 31. —_—-— “ Coming Beents cast their Shadows Be: fore.” —In the latter part of the year 1836, and the beginning of 1537, occurred the singular fact in the commercial history of the country, of flour then ranging from ten to twelve dollers per barrel, being actually imported from Liverpool to New York, where it had been previously exported from New York to Liverpool. This strange event was a symptom of the disturbing elements then at work in the commercial world, and which resulted in the terrible explosion that convulsed the country in May, 1837. This explosion caused many thousands of bankruptcies and debts, wnich amounted to more than five hundred millions of dollars, all of which were wiped off by the application of the bankrupt law. “Coming events cast their shadows before.” Flour is now sold at very high prices; and we find that it returns from Calfornia, after having been sent there from New York. ‘The disturbance and confusion in the state of trade at present developed, to throw out a warning to all business men to take very good care of themselves and their business, for the next year or two.—WV. Y. Herald. ' Inpian FandaNnGco —The mountain Indians and those of the valley had agreed . to meet on Saturday last,at the Long Valley House, and havea fandango. Those from the valley arrived first and went to dancing. When the mountain Indians came on the ground they stood reund looking on, but would not participate in” the dance, but kept murmuring at the others for commencing before their arrival. St was not, long before both parties were quarrelling, this put an end to.the dance. The women and children hid themselves and the men prepated for battle. ‘The mountain Diggers atmed with bows and arrows, lined the brow ofa hill, while the others, with guns, stationed themselves in a ravine.

O. F.——The Grand T.édge of Odd Felows closed their annual mecting on the 11th at Sacramento. city. The attendance .was very large, considering how hard it is fora mam to be qualified to become a Past Grand and none others ean sit in the Grand Lodge. A. man must faithfully serve and have the full eonfidence of the members of a subordinate Lodge ‘for two years to reach that high position.-— Ilernee very few but men of moral bearing and industrious habits ever attain to that degree of eminence-—yet it is much more difficult to hold suflicient influence over the members of the Grand Lodge to become its master. But some ove must hold those high positions. ‘The Grand Master for the last year not only filled the place with honor to himself and_ benefit to the Order+-but so commanded the estecm of his brotber Past Grands as to receive at their hands a most beautiful watch Sud chain, presented by his successor, Dr. Morse. The speeches on the occasion woukl have read well on the pages of the history of Odd Fellowship and should have been preserved. Dr. Johu I’. Morse is the Grand Master for this year.’ No better selection could have been made. He is able, benevolent, hovest aud industrious and in every way qualified to perform the duties of his high office. There are twenty-six Lodges now at work in this state, what a change since ‘the Pioncer band © of the Odd Fellow’s association in Sacramento city in August 1849, threw out their banner of charity and spent:thousands of Dollars for the relief of hundreds, helpless and destitute in a strange land without home and friends ; those were the days to try: men’ssouls. ITow pleasant it must be for Gen. Winn, Dr. Morse, Gen. Miles aiid others to reflect upon their cflorts at relief andlook upon the grand phalanx now hovering around the nucleus of sacrificing Friendship, Love and Truth. .

It can’t be did! Cause why? He never took any into his system. The true verdict, Mr. Coroner, should be, gin, rum, or, brandy on the brain, but as I cannot get such a verdict, I am willing to split the difference— compromise—and bring in a verdict as follows ;—‘Died-from the effects of brandy and water on the brain.’ The compromise. was agreed to, and the above verdict is “a ‘part and parcel of the recorded.-doings of secant as cenaetaeagienilnsatenannete ntsc nent . lowa.. , pao . .

For the first five years mentioned in the statement—namely, to 3ist December, 1852-.the actual expenses over and above the charges amounted to $305,812 90-—being an average expense to the United States, during the period of 61,162 58 dollars annually. During the past year, namely, to 31st December, 1853---the coinage at Philadelphia, instead of being an expense, has been a source of profit —-the sum of 102,420 96 dollars having been realized therefrom over and above the expenses Washington Union, March 31. —_—-— “ Coming Beents cast their Shadows Be: fore.” —In the latter part of the year 1836, and the beginning of 1537, occurred the singular fact in the commercial history of the country, of flour then ranging from ten to twelve dollers per barrel, being actually imported from Liverpool to New York, where it had been previously exported from New York to Liverpool. This strange event was a symptom of the disturbing elements then at work in the commercial world, and which resulted in the terrible explosion that convulsed the country in May, 1837. This explosion caused many thousands of bankruptcies and debts, wnich amounted to more than five hundred millions of dollars, all of which were wiped off by the application of the bankrupt law. “Coming events cast their shadows before.” Flour is now sold at very high prices; and we find that it returns from Calfornia, after having been sent there from New York. ‘The disturbance and confusion in the state of trade at present developed, to throw out a warning to all business men to take very good care of themselves and their business, for the next year or two.—WV.

Those from the valley arrived first and went to dancing. When the mountain Indians came on the ground they stood reund looking on, but would not participate in” the dance, but kept murmuring at the others for commencing before their arrival. St was not, long before both parties were quarrelling, this put an end to.the dance.
