As the Right Worthy Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fel lows of North Carolina assembles Ln this city to-day, and it being but a single Grand Jurisdiction among forty odd others in the United States, and aggre gating in membership over Four Hun dred Tlwusand throughout the Union, we hare deemed it not inappropriate to lay before our readers some facts and statistices in regard to organization and history in this State. "Weldon Lodge, Number 1," in Wel don, Halifax county, was the first sub ordinate lodge ever instituted in this State, the officers thereof having been installed April 2Gth, 1841, by virtue ot authority ot the Grand Lodge of the United Slates, and was, therefore, as long a3 it continued to work, the rank ing lodge in the jurisdiction. "Cape Fear Lodge Number . 2," in .Wilmington, was next instituted, under the same authority its officers having been installed May 13th, 1842. It is now the senior lodge in the State, Wel don Lodge having ceased to work, (af ter removal to the town of Halifax,) many years affo "Cape Fear, Number 2," is not only the senior working lodge, but is one of the most substantial and active. Ir has "indeed seen many years'' ami bids fair to see many more. Its membership has always, through its representations, exercised a leading in fluence in the councils of the Grand Lodge. Washington Lodge, Number 3, in Murfreesboro, Hertford county, was the third lodge instituted by the Grand Lodge of the United States. Its officers were installed May 17th, 1842. This Lodge ceased to work at the breaking out of the late war, and has not since been re oganized. i The three Lodges above named met in Wilmington, January 6th, 1843, and instituted . the "Right Worthy Grand Lodge of North Carolina." Weldon Lodge, No. J, was represen ted at that meeting by Past Grands, John Campbell, D B Boykin, and T C Williams. Cape Fear Lodge, No. 2, was represented by Past Grands Alexander McRae, John McRae, A Paul Repiton and W S G Andrews Washington Lodge No. 3, was represented by Past Grand R II Worthington. These Past Grands, representing the three Lodges named, were tire founders of the Grand Lodge. George M Bain, Distiict Dep uty Grand Sire, of the Grand Lodge of the United States, by virture of the au thority of the latter Grand Body insti tuted the Grand Lodge in regular form.. The following officers were elected and installed, viz : - John Campbell, M W G Master. R H Worthington, RWDG Master. W S G Andrews, R W G Secretary. Alexander McRae, R W G Treasurer. John McRae, R W G Warden. The following officers, appointed by the Grand Master, were also installed, viz : " T C Williams, W G Guardian. D B Boykins, W G Conductor. . A P Repiton, R W G Chaplain. Some of these ancient patriarchs are still living, and working members of the rder conspicuous among whom may be mentioned Past Grand Master W. S. G.Andrews. The following is a correct list of the Grand Masters who have served since the instiution of the.Grand Lodge in the State, in the order in which they served, viz : John Campbell, R H Worthingtorj, John McRae, Sr., Alexander McRae. Isarel Disosway, Wiiliam H McKee, Benjamin F Hanks, J B Newby, Pernn Busbee, T II Hardenbergb, Warren Winslow, W L Steele, W S G Andrews, Wilibin J Hoke. Ed W Jones, John A. Weirman, John Sloan, Martin Stevenson. Levi M. Scott, A. Paul Repiton, R A Caldwell, William L Smith, Seaston Gales, J H Baker and Willliam J. Yopp. The last named is the present Grand Master.whose term of office expires with the present session of the Grand Lodge. At the last session ot the Grand . its constitution was so amended as to allow a Grand Master to be re-elected. Previous to that time one term was the limit.

Our Weldon correspocdent, under date of yesterday, sends us the following items: I send you some notes of the great freshet, that may be or interest to our friends who are acquainted with the Roanoke. The water was five inches higher than the, great freshet of January, 1865, which at that time was the highest remember ed or recorded. The water last Saturday night and Sunday morning reached the weather boarding, of the Seaboard Railroad bridge and was three inches deep in the office of Messrs. Smith & Co's mill. It may be gratifying to Mr. S. to learn that his bees were moved in time to save tbem.l The water was in the yard at the Mush Island house and flowed into and filled the'tselh It backeft tip Cbockayotte creek, and around in front? of Mr. G. G. Lynch's residence, and was "several feet deep at the embankment of the Wilmington railroad at the flag pond. . , The embankment of the Petersburg railroad gave way .about ten o'clock on Saturday night, and the water on the upper side fell about a foot at once, but rose again by morning. . ; ' ,t The water rushed and rolled through the break in great waves, and several persons who were on the bank where it gave way came near being cut ofT,' but escaped by walking on the railroad iron before the track settled. Thousands of acres of land upon which the young corn and cotton was growing will have to be plowed and planted over. Meetikg of the Board of Commissioners.- Yesterday ,thc Board of County Commissioners held a called meeting : Messrs. R. W. Wynne, II. C. Jones, M. G. Todd and Samuel Rayner, Commissioners, were present. The office of Constable of Raleigh Township having been declared vacant, on motion the Board set Wednesday next as the time to fill the vacancy. It was ordered that the County Treas urer pay to M. G. Todd, Commfssioner, $14 for seven days services outside the meetings of the Board, for assisting in the settlement with the Treasurer and Sheriff. Contrary to expectation no settle ment for county taxes for 1872 with the Sherff was reached. These taxes now amount to about $37,000, including the school tax for the last two years. We have not been able to ascertain the ex act status of affairs, and can therefore say nothing as to the time when a set tlement will be reached. Until this matter is adjusted, we can lay before our readers no exhibit of the condition of the finances of the county. . We near tftat ltr is proDaDie mat tne Commissioners will bring suit against the Sheriff for the amount due the county. The Board will meet again on Mon day, Tuesday and Wednesday to hear and determine questions arising from the tax lists. Meeting of the Western N. C. R. R. Commission.
