J. Gadde, H. A. Hathaway, E. W, Wheelock, John Lucti, H. S. Greenup, A. N. Judas, A. A. Jewell, R. A. Bullock and Adatn Love. The morning was exceedingly unpromis ing, rain falling copiously, yet the principal streets early wore a holiday look. Decora tions appeared on many of the large build ings, especially the quarters of tbe local so cieties. Tbe reception committee, A. A. Jewell, E. W. Wheelock aud R. A. Bullock, met tbe various organizations as they ar rived on Incoming trains and escorted them to tbe Slate Armory on Arnold street, where a sumptuous collation bad been provided by tbe Daughters of Rebekah. The ball was elaborately decorated with streamers, flags and shields, with appropriate insignia and mottoes of "Fidelity,” "Welcome,” "Rest,” “Happy Greeting to All,” “Iu God We Trust.” Four tables, accommodating 400 at a time, were laden with a choice display of edibles, including the three-huk doughnuts, and coffee, which iu tbe aute-rooms was plenty in reserve. The ladies were indefatig able in tbeir efforts to serve all, aud it is safe to say none went away hungry. Tbe inner man refreshed, tbe visitors were escorted to and quartered in the various halls of tbe town, which bad been offered and opened for the day, one being reserved for the ladies who accompanied tbe visitors. The time was passed pleasantly in fra ternal greetings till past 10 o’clock, when tbe various organizations formed in line and proceeded to High and Arnold streets, and iu tbe following order was formed: Platoon of Police.

The route of march was adridged con siderably on account of the rain, the Social aud Globe districts being passed by. Tbe decorations all along the line of march were numerous aud profuse, aud particularly noticeable were those iu tbe Odd Fellows’, Masons’ and Kuigbts of Pythias’ halls. Al 1:30 o’clock tbe exercises began in Music Hall. After selections by tbe VVoousocket Cornet and Milford Brass bauds and prayer by Rev. N. J. VVhit j , an oration was deliv ered by Rev. St. Jobu Cbambres of Fraukliu. Tbe oratiou began by a descriptive epi tome of the reputation influence and gen eral principle of tbe order, aud au outline sketch of tbe elements which have made the order successful even beyoud the expectations of its introducer iulo Ibis Country. He gave a resume of secret societies, aud to au extent defended tbe grouud-work of such societies. He said tbe leading element ot Old Fellow ship is its work of charily, and gave ibe dis tinguishable difference between indiscrimi nate altus-giving and charity. Iu Odd Fello wship every member, rich or poor, no matter what bis prospects or station iu life, is obliged to receive bis share of the benefit of the order, whenever he becomes entitled to receive them. After a brief history of tbe introduction, rise aud progress of the order, he followed with statistics to show its chari table work. Tbe amount expended for charily in 1875 was 81,698,868, aud iu 1876, $1,688,886. During these years the receipts decreased iu a much greater ratio than the expenditures, aud while the amount ex pended was less, the society really expended more, in proportion, than It did iu previous years. From 1830 to 1876, during neatly two-thirds of which lime there was great antagonism manifested towards all secret so cieties, tbe total chai itable expenses amount ed to $23,982,889. During that time tbe order relieved 773,991 members and 102,784 widowed families. Massachusetts, with a membership of 22,, 520, expended last year $31,343 iu charity, aud Rhode Idaud, with only forty lodges, numbering 5419 members, expended $19,165. This money comprises only wbat was ex pended iu tbe regular, legal manner, and does not include tbe amounts expended by the encampments, Daughters of Rebekah and private subscription. Iu bis peroration, tbe speaker explained and answered many queslions concerning, and poiats raised agaiust, tbe order; and narrated tbe dangers that threaten it, chief among which was that the members might consider tbe order itself of more importance than its work, which bad proved the basis of its prosperity; but be believed that tbe order would uot be allowed thus to drift away, but would prosper aud increase its usefulness year by year. Tbe remarks were listened to with close attention, aud fre quently Interrupted witb applause. The interesting exercises concluded witb a selection by the Pawtucket Band aud benediction by Rev. J. L. Miller. Al tbe close the various organizations re-iurmed and were escorted to tbe hotels and fetaur ants for dinner. Despite tbe storm, tbe celebration was very successful, aud ibe streets were thronged most of tbe day. In tbe evening Palestine Encampment, No. 3, of tbia town gave a grand complimentary ball in the Slate Armory, which was enjoyed by about 200 couples, and thus ended oue of tbe pleasantest days In tbe history of our towu.

Madison C, Harvey was charged with dis turbing the public peace by horsewhipping bis boy ou Abbott street. Several witnesses, residents iu that vicinity, testified that ou Wednesday, Mr. Harvey beat bis sou iu a field ou Abbott street using a horsewhip. Tbe blows were beard a distance of nearly 300 feet. He had the boy by the shoulder auj struck some twenty blows. Tbe noise attracted a large crowd, who remonstrated । witb him, aud Harvey said it was his own boy and he should punish bim as he saw fit to do. Tbe defence was that the punish ment was iuflicied for disobedience, aud was giveu iu public to shame the boy, aud that it was uot a severe aud brutal punishment. The court said that it was very bad taste fur a mau to punish a boy in so public a place, and would produce a bad effect on the minds of tbe boys present. Tbe punishment it done at home, if not excessive, was a lawful act, but in tbe manner iu which this took place he considered it a disturbance of the peace, and he should impose a fine of $lO and costs.
