ODDFELLOWSIIIP.—The Odafellows of
this village commemorated the sixtieth.
anniversary of the foundation of Odd -
fellowship in America, by attending
divine service at the Union Presbyterian
church. Previous to attending, the
members of the lodge assembled at the
Oddfellows' Hall, where they formed
and marched in . procession to the
church. The sermon was preached by
Rev. Mr. Thomson, -who chose as his
text the 13th chapter of ist Corinthians,
13th verse- (and last clause of verse) :
" And now abideth faith, hope and
charity, these three ; but the greatest of
these is charity," He went on to show
in a clear and. lucid manner why the
preference was 'given to charity, and
illustrated the poWer of love in -such
examples as that of , Moses, Jonathan,
and David, Nehemiah, Good Samaritan,
and last, but greatest of all, the offering
of Christ aa a sacrifice for the sins of
mankind. • He deducted from the par-
able of the Good Samaritan the laxness
of the church in extending the hand of
oharity to the needy, why organizations
such as he was, addressing were neces-
saxy to carry on the; labor of love that
properly belonged to her. In connec-
nection with the Order of Oddfellow-
ship, he considered it a ,noble society,
and was pleased to havethe privilege ef
addressing a body of Men who in this
world, where there is so much selfish-
ness to be found., laid aside all political
and other feelings, and were found
standing hand it hand together in
brotherly love. and. concluded.. an elo-
quent discourse by invoking God's
blessing upon them and their great
work of providing for the fatherlees and
widow's. .

Escape from Goderich Gaol.
On the evening of Thursday of last
week two prisoners escaped from God-
erich Gaol. The_names of the prison-
ers are Fisher and McRoberts. The
form_er was sentenced at the recent as-
sizes to two. years imprisonment in the
Penitentiary -for horse stealing, and the
latter had also been convicted of several
forgeries end other misdemeanors in
connection with what is now known as
the "Fanning Mill Frauds." These
two worthies, says the Signal, occupied.
'rooms in the gaol; they were seen to
bed by the gaol officials at the usual
hour, 7 o'clock, on the evening of Thurs-
day, the 24th. Between 8 and 9 o'clock
on this evening Mr. Holt, counsel for
McRoberts, accompanied by the uncle
and father of McRoberts, called. at the
gaol and requested to see the prisoner.
lie was taken out of bed to see them.
They remained together about ten or
fifteen minutes; McRoberts was then
put back to his bed by Mr. Henderson,
the turnkey. The gaoler made his
usual rounds between nine and ten
o'clock; all appeared safe; no cause
for alarm; he then retired for the night.
Mr. Henderson also- retired as usual,
without having cause for alarm. The
first intimation of anything being wrong
was about a quarter past five on Fri-
day morning. Mr. Henderson ha.cl
arisen at this time to let out a prisoner,
whose term had expried and who was
anxious to get out early, as he had.
long distance to walk to his home.
Passing the apartments occupied by
the escaped prisoners he looked through
the slide of A Ward No. 1 and saw the
outer door leading into the yard open.
Upon investigation it was discovered
that McRoberts and Fisher had escaped.
The gaoler was at once apprised of the
circumstance, and the mode of escape
was quickly ascertained. It was found
that the locks upon the cells occupied
by McRoberts and Fisher had been
picked; the corridor door lock and the
lock of the door leading into the yard
were also picked, making four locks in

afflicted with total blindness, but this
; calamity did not detract from his ordi-
nary cheerfulness of spirit.' Deceased
was of good intelligence, and took a
great interest in the political and so-
cial condition of his adopted country.
He was an adherent of Knox Chureh,
Brussels, and. was much respected. His

men were boating stones down the
Maitland River to James Sharpin's lime
kiln, near Gorrie, the boat swamped,
leaving the men to make their way to
the shore the best way they could. The
water being icily cold and some of the
boat's crew indifferent swimmers. they
had some difficulty in getting safely to
stumps and legs to keep themselves
from drowning. Persons on shore see-
ing the disaster rowed out to the un-
fortunates in another boat and took
them to land. No lives were lost, and
so far, we have not heard that the men
are any the worse for their cold dip.

night at Carlow, under the care of Dr.
McDonagh.' He returned home on Fri-
day morning and went to bed. About

well, and arose from bed and sat in
