We regret very much to learn from ''rhe To-
cal news" found in the National Intelligencer,
that the splendid Hall, lately erected by this
Order, is to be opened with ball on Thurs
day, 10Th.


This ball is gotten up by Odd Fellows-and
,others, and the consentn OF the trustees has been
given for them to hold it. We feel it our duty,
standing in The relation we do 10 this Order, and
the community, to express our regret-and
further, (if it is worth any thing,) our deci-
ded dsapprobation of such use being made
of the Hall under the sanction OF Odd Fellows.
And we do most solemnly declare our convic-
,ton that the practice of holding balls tends TO
immortality is againstthe principles either
implied or expressed by the Order or Christi
.anity.
