In this District some of the Divisions are
increasing rapidly. Potomac Division, of
Georgetown, about three months old, numbers
so members; there were thirteen applications
presented last week. Equal Division, of the
same age, is advancing very well. Harmony
Division, No. 2, at the last meeting, had IL
applications, and is regularly doing well. We
have not heard of the progress Of the other
Divisions, but presume they are doing fair
business. 1t is computed that there are well
nigh twenty-five thousand members belonging
to the Order at this time. When it is remem-
bered that not three years have elapsed since
the institution of this Order in the city of New
York, by sixteen teetotalers, this may be con-
sidered an advancement unknown in the his
tory of any similar institution.
