On the second day of January, A. L. 5826, A. D. 1826, a dispensation was granted for the organ- izing of Syracuse Lodge No. 484, and on the tenth day of June following, a warrant was issued by the Grand Lodge, empowering Henry Newton to act as its first Master, Joseph Slocum as its first Senior Warden, and William Malcolm as its first Junior Warden. Its meetings were held in the then new Syracuse House in rooms fitted up for it, (according to a custom which then generally prevailed among the Lodges, of holding their meetings in public houses,) until about the year 1831, when it ceased work, owing to the influx of the great tidal wave of " Anti-Masonry" which was sweeping over the country at that time. The original warrant, to- gether with the tin case containing the same, made over fifty years since by one of its earliest members, Mr. Isaac D. Lawson, still a resident among us, (January, 1878,) are in possession of the writer of this article, placed there by the late Russell Heb- bard, Esq., who was one of its last officers.

On the 23d day of July, 1844, a warrant was granted constituting Syracuse Lodge No. 102, naming Luther M. Tracy for Master, Henry New- ton for Senior Warden, and Hiram Judson for Junior Warden. This lodge held its meetings in Masonic Hall, Empire Block, being the north wing of the present Empire House, until August, 1849, when it removed to Frazee Hall, in what is now called the " Courier Building," corner of East Genesee and Montgomery streets, where it remained until Jan- uary, 1850 ; it then removed to " New Masonic Hall,"

Alvord Block, 30 and 32 South Warren street, south of and now occupied as a portion of the Remington House. Here it remained until November, 1852, when it removed to the Stanley Block, No. 38 South Warren street, adjoining on the north the present St. Paul's Church. Thence it moved again in 1856 to No. 63 South Salina street, New Masonic Hall, leasing the rooms there in connection with Central City Lodge No. 305, which Lodge had expended several thousand dollars in fitting up, preparing and beautifying the same. This Lodge continued to work until February, 1860, when, "on the request and complaint of the members of that Lodge," its warrant was demanded and surrendered, together with all its properties, and on the eighth day of June following, it was declared forfeited by the Grand Lodge.

On the day last mentioned, June 8, 1860, a war- rant was granted by the Grand Lodge, then in ses- sion, and issued under date of July 5, 1860, to Syracuse Lodge No. 501, authorizing the following named brethren to act as its first officers, viz : Lewis E. Joy, Master ; John Frary, Senior Warden, and Edward S. Dawson, Junior Warden.

This Lodge held its communications at Masonic Hall, No. 63 South Salina street, for a number of years, and then fitted up and removed to rooms in the Bastable Arcade, fronting on East Genesee street. It subsequently removed in 1876 to its present location Nos. 37 and 39 South Clinton street, where it is now located. Its present officers are (January, 1878) as follows, viz: N. Latterner, Master ; C. J. Jeffery, S. W .; A. E. Shaul, J. W .; Joseph Walier, Treasurer and Daniel N. Lathrop, Secretary.

Central City Lodge No. 305 never worked under dispensation, like most lodges, but commenced masonic labor under its warrant direct, received from the Grand Lodge on the 7th day of June, 1853. Its first warranted officers were W. George N. Williams, Master ; Joshua G. Bigelow, Senior Warden ; and W. Robert M. Richardson, Junior Warden. Its communications were held in Masonic Hall, Stanley Block, South Warren street, occupy- ing jointly with Syracuse Lodge No. 102, and Syra- cuse Royal Arch Chapter No 70 until 1856, when, having as above stated, fitted up new and more ap- propriate rooms at an expense of several thousand dollars at No. 63 South Salina street, it removed thereto and occupied the same for about ten years. A favorable opportunity offering by the erection of a new building now known as Nos. 85 and 87 South Salina street, to secure more eligible and commodi-

ous rooms, it again spent a large sum in appropri- ately decorating and furnishing them, and christen- ing its new quarters as "Central City Masonic Hall," it removed thereto in 1871, where it is still located. Its present elective officers (January, 1878.) are as follows, viz : William Dickison, Master ; Albert Becker, Jr., Senior Warden ; Thurston D. Brewster, Junior Warden ; Charles P. Clark, Treasurer, and Daniel S. DeLano, Secretary. Orrin Welch," Edwin HI Brown and Charles P. Clark, Trustees

Salt Springs Lodge No 520 received its dispen- sation and held its first regular communication by virtue thereof, on the 17th day of September, 1861, at the office of Brother Harry Gifford, in the First Ward of thecity. On the roth day of June following (1862) it received a warrant from the M. W. Grand Lodge, authorizing it to hold its communications " in the First Ward of said city of Syracuse," and appointed John F. Sherwood the first Master, Henry F. Greene the first Senior Warden, and Peter Smith the first Junior Warden thereof. At the annual communication of the Grand Lodge in 1867, the restriction in regard to location in the First Ward of the city was withdrawn, and on the eleventh day of November succeeding, the Lodge removed to No. 27 North Salina street, where it re- mained until its removal to the White Memorial Building on the 22d day of May, 1877, where it is now located. Its present officers (January, 1878. ) are as follows, viz : Daniel H. Boynton, Master ; Frank Smith, S. W. ; H1. O. Pratt, J. W. ; Fred. Schug, Treasurer, and John C. Kratz, Secretary.

Cryptic Masonry .- Central City Council No. 13. Royal and Select Masters, was granted a war- rant by the Grand Council R. and S. M. of the State of New York, on the 5th day of June, 1 SGo, constituting the following named companions the first officers thereof, viz: T. I, Seymour H. Stone, Master ; R. L., Stiles M Rust, Deputy Master ; and 1., Charles W. Snow, Princ. Cond. of the Works. This body has met as occasion has required in the rooms leased by the other Central City bodies and dispatched all necessary work. Its last elected officers are as follows, viz. : T. I, Abel G. Cook, Master ; R. I., D'Estain Reming- ton, Deputy Master : I., Richard HI. Parker, P. C. W; I., Robert M. Beecher, Recorder ; and I., Charles l'. Clark, Treasurer.

Capitular Masonry -In the carly part of the year 1820 a dispensation was granted to organize Salina Chapter of Royal Arch Masons No. 70, and on the 9th day of February, 1821, a warrant was granted

naming William Baldwin as First High Priest ; Henry Case, King and Matthew Van Vleck, Scribe thereof.

This chapter met in the village of Salina, now in- corporated within the limits of the city of Syracuse, and worked under its dispensation and warrant reg- ularly, with the exception of an interregnum during the " troublous times " occurring between 1828 and 1831, until the year 1837, when, in the general sus- pension of Masonic bodies which took place at that period, it became dormant, and remained so until the year 1849.

On the tenth day of February, 1826, a warrant was issued to said Chapter No. 70, in place of the original warrant issued in 1821, which was said to have been lost, appointing Noah Tubbs, High Priest, Joel Wright, King, and Amos Foot, Scribe thereof, their convocations to be held in the village of Sali- na. This is the warrant held by Central City Chap- ter No. 70, under which it now works. On the 25th day of January, 1849, the following compan- ions assembled for the purpose of reorganizing the Chapter, viz. : Lyman R. Averill, Samuel R. Mat- thews, Morris Kain, George W. Robinson and Jo- seph Jaqueth, who were members of the said Chap- ter, and the following Royal Arch Masons, not mem- bers of the Chapter but desirous of becoming such, viz. : John M. Clark, A. G. Brower, Jerry Penfield, Archibald Perkins, Philip Sharp, Amos Story, Ben- jamin French, Dearborn B. Richford and Sanford C. Parker. An election for officers was then held resulting as follows : Lyman R. Averill was elected High Priest ; Morris Kain, King ; Joseph Jaqueth, Scribe ; Benjamin F. Green, C. of 11. ; Samuel R. Matthews, P. S .: Levi Adams, R. A. C .: Josiah Watkins, M. of 3d V .; Zebulon Kinne, M. of 2d V .; Jonathan P. Hicks, M. of Ist V. ; Matthew Van Vleck, Treasurer ; George W. Robinson, Secretary ; Elisha Clark, Tiler ; and Morris Kain and Samuel R. Matthews, Stewards.

The above proceedings were had preliminary to action by the Grand Chapter, on the 7th day of February, 18.19, whereby Salina Royal Arch Chap- ter No. 70 was revived, and its title changed to Sy- racuse Chapter, retaining the same number, (70) and by said action, it was " authorized to hold its meet- ings in the city of Syracuse." The following named petitioners were the only members embraced in the revival of the said Chapter, viz .: Lyman R. Aver- ill, Joseph Jaqueth, Benjamin F. Green, Levi Ad- ams, Josiah Watkins, (?) Zebulon Kinne, Jonathan P. Hicks, Matthew Van Vleck, George W. Robin- son, Elisha Clark, Sanford C. Parker, Benjamin French, Abraham (?, G. Brower, John Newell, Jerry

Penfield, Archibald Jenkins, Dearborn B. Bickford, Henry Lake, Anson (Amos ?) Story and John M. Clark.

Under this action of revivification the above mem - bers held their first meeting " February 16th, 1849, at 2 1.2 o'clock, p. M, at Masonic Hall, Empire Block, Syracuse," and at once proceeded to an elec- tion for officers, such step having become necessary by several of the officers elected under date of Jan- uary 25th, 1849 being ruled out for reasons un- known and not embraced in the list of petitioners. The result of this election was as follows, viz .: Ly- man R. Averill was elected High Priest ; Benjamin F. Green, King ; John M. Clark, Scribe ; Sanford C. Parker, C. of H .; Benjamin French, P. S. ; Abramı G. Brower, R. A. C .; Levi Adams, Dear- born B. Bickford and Jerry Penfield, M. of the Vails ; George W. Robinson, Secretary ; Matthew Van Vleck, Treasurer ; Archibald Perkins, Tiler, and Amos Story and John Newell, Stewards.

Its meetings were held in the Empire Block until August 29th, 1849, when it moved to the " Frazee Block," holding its first meeting there at that date ; thence it moved to " New Masonic Hall," Alvord Block, South Warren street, holding its first meet- ing there January 9th, 1850; thence on the 17th day of November, 1852, it moved and held its first meeting in the Stanley Block, No. 38 South War- ren street, first door north of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, and in 1856, to the Washington Block, No. 63 South Salina street.

On the 3d day of February, 1864, the following resolution was adopted by the Grand Chapter of the State of New York :

Resolved, That Syracuse Chapter No. 70, be authorized to change the name of the said Chapter from " Syracuse " to " Central City," and that the said Chapter shall hereafter be known and dis- tinguished by the name of "Central City Chapter No. 70."

In the year 1871, the Chapter moved with the other Masonic bodies from No. 63 to Nos. 85 and 87 South Salina street, where it is now located. Its present officers are as follows, viz : John W. Sherman, H. P .; George A. Cool, K .; Albert Becker, Jr., S. ; Charles P. Clark, Treasurer ; Daniel S. DeLano, Secretary ; Benjamin F. Blye, C. of H .; W. H. Phelps, P. S .; Julius A. Baumgras, R. A. C .; L. D. Burton, T. D. Brewster and J. P. Rule, M. of Vails ; Charles A. Wiesmore, Tiler.

Chivalric Orders of Masonry .- On the 17th day March, 1856, a dispensation was issued creating Central City Encampment and appointing the fol- lowing named Sir Knights as its first three officers, viz : Clinton F. Paige, Grand Commander ; Har-

low W. Chittenden, Generalissimo ; and William L. Palmer, Captain General. On the 6th day of Feb- ruary, 1857, a warrant was issued to said officers by the Grand Commandery of the State of New York, under the name, number and style of "Central City Commandery, No. 25, of Knights Templar and Knights of Malta," in accordance with action previously had by the General Grand Encampment of the U. S. A., changing the title of " Encamp- ment" to " Commandery," and the title of the first named officer from " Grand Commander " to " Em- inent Commander." Under this warrant it has worked to the present time, first, at No. 63 South Salina street, and then at Nos. 85 and 87 South Salina street, in connection with the other Central City Bodies. Its present officers are as follows, viz : E., Charles P. Clark, Commander ; Edward H. Brown, Generalissimo ; Abel G. Cook, Captain General ; A. Clark Baum, Prelate; George A. Cool, S. W. ; Richard H. Parker, J. W .; Hiram A. Plumb, Treasurer ; Charles H. Lyman, Recorder ; William Caldwell, St. B .; Marsh C. Pierce, Sw. B .; John W. Sherman, Warder ; Charles A. Wiesmore, Captain of G.

Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite .- The first step taken for the introduction of this Rite in that por- tion of the State lying west of Albany, was on the 16th day of February, 1862, when Ill. Bro. Nichol- as Mickles 32º .. , of New York City, convened the following named brethren in a room in the Syra- cuse House, viz : Orrin Welch, George J. Gard- ner, Seymour H. Stone, Stiles M. Rust, and Chas. W. Snow, and by special dispensation from the Su- preme Head of the Rite, authorizing him to do so, communicated to them the ritual of the various de- grees embraced in the Lodge of Perfection and Council of the Princes of Jerusalem, being from the fourth to the sixteenth inclusive, of this Rite.

On the 27th day of November, 1862, warrants were granted to the five above mentioned members also to Simon DeGraff, George W. Harwood and Martin V. B. Hart, they all having in the mean- time duly qualified themselves by receiving the re- maining degrees of the Chapter of Rose Croix and Consistory of S. P. R. S., 32 º. .. , to organize and work the several bodies of Central City Lodge of Perfection, Central City Council of Princes of Jerusalem, Central City Chapter of Rose Croix, H. R. D. M .; and Central City Consistory of S. P. R. S., 32°."., to which warrant of the last men- tioned body were also added the names of Clinton F. Paige, of Binghamton, John L. Lewis, of Penn Yan, and Zenas C. Priest, of Utica.

With the exception of bodies of this Rite, at that

time dormant or working, in Albany and New York, these were the first and only duly constituted bodies of this Rite in the State. For a number of years their meetings were held at No. 63 South Salina street, and on the removal of Central City Lodge No 305 and other bodies to Nos. 85 and 87 South Salina street, rooms were fitted up and prepared especially for these bodies at a great expense, to which they re- moved and where they are now all working. The present elective officers are (January, 1878) as fol- lows, viz :

Central City Lodge of Perfection-Abel G. Cook, 33°, T. P. G. M .; George A. Cool. H. T. D. G. M. ; Albert Becker, Jr., V. S. G. W. ; Charles H. Lyman, V. J. G. W .; Charles P. Clark, G. O .; Edwin C. Tallcott, G. Secretary ; Iliram W. P'lumb, G. Treasurer.

Central City Council of Princes of Jerusalem- George A. Cool, M. E. S. P. G. M. : Charles I'. Clark, G. H. P. D. G. M. ; Leslie B. Cooke, M. E. S. G. W. ; Albert Becker, Jr., M. E. J. G. W. ; Edwin C. Tallcott, V. G. Secretary.

Central City Chapter, Rose Croix, H. R. D. M .- Leslie B. Cooke. M. W. and P. M. ; D'Estain Remington, M. E. and P. K. S. W. ; John W. Sherman, M. E. and P. K. J. W. : William Cald- well, M. E. and P. K. G. O .; Hiram W. Plumb, R. and P. K. Treasurer ; Edwin C. Tallcott, R. and P. K. Secretary.

Central City Consistory, S. P. R. S. 32 º .- Abel G. Cook, 33º, Com .- in-chief ; Charles P. Clark, 32º, Ist It. Com .; George A. Cool, 32 °, 2d Lt. Com. ; Thomas C. Chittenden, 32º, M. of S. and G. O. : Ralph C. Christiance, 32º, G. C. ; Edwin C. Tallcott, 32 º, G. Secretary.

The government of this Rite is vested in "the Supreme Council of Sovereign Grand Inspectors General of the Thirty-third and last degree, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, for the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction of the U. S. A," whose Grand East, or seat of power, is at Boston, Mass. Its active mem- bership is limited-its honorary membership is based upon a pro-rata proportion of members of the 14° .. made in the several States or jurisdictions. The resident members of this supreme body are as follows, viz :

Active Member-Orrin Welch, 33 ª ... , Deputy for the State of New York.

Honorary Members-Seymour II. Stone, 33º .. ; George J. Gardner, 33º ..; Edward H. Brown, 33°. . ; and Abel G. Cook, 33 º ..

This is a brief but complete history of all the various Masonic bodies which have been organized

within what are now the limits of the city of Syra- cuse. Probably not one of the actors or members of the earlier organizations is now alive, and but very few of those formerly connected with the bodies existing immediately prior to the great fanatical war upon Masonry in 1826. The aggre- gate membership of the various bodies herein enumerated will reach very nearly one thousand persons, with an apparent healthy and steady growth.

ODD.FELLOWS' LODGES

IN THE CITY OF SYRACUSE AND COUNTY OF ONONDAGA.

In the year 1842. the subject of Odd-Fellowship was for the first time discussed in the social circles of this community. What first awakened an inter- est in the subject, was the frequent publication in the Eastern papers of this State, of notices of meet- ings, funerals, &c, headed with those cabalistic characters, I. O. O. F, of which we were then in blissful ignorance. The spirit of womanly curiosity was aroused. A meeting of those interested was held, and it was resolved that measures be taken to organize a Lodge, to be called " Onondaga Lodge." The Laws of the Grand Lodge requiring five or more brethren to unite in petitioning for a charter, it was requisite that a number should be initiated in order to equal the constitutional requirement, and not deeming it expedient to commence opera- tions till a sufficient number could be obtained to fill all the principal chairs, the following persons volunteered and agreed to qualify themselves, viz : William W. Willard, Geo. B. Sloat, Daniel D. Den- ton, Geo. J. Gardner, William S. Wood, J. Gates Willard, and Jonathan Baldwin. The nearest Lodge then in existence, was Oneida Lodge, No. 70, Utica, of which Bro. Joseph Seymour, now of this city, was then Noble Grand (and who has con- tinued his membership with that Lodge from that day to the present time,) in which these names were all proposed and the candidates in due time in- itiated. The election and installation of officers then took place, and the following officers took their seats for the first term ending March 31st, or until their successors were installed, which took place April 7th, 1843, viz :

William W. Willard, N. G. ; George B. Sloat, V. G .; Daniel D. Denton, Sec. ; George J. Gard- ner, Treas. ; William S. Wood, S. S. ; Myer Ex- tein, O. G .; Moses Hellman, I. G. ; Jonathan Baldwin, C .; J. Gates Willard, Warden.

A room was fitted up at an expense of several

hundred dollars, in the Bank Building-the attic of the block used by the Onondaga County Bank, and Bank of Syracuse, corner of Washington and South Salina streets, of which a lease was taken for the term of ten years, and which room con- tinued to be occupied by Onondaga Lodge, and at times by the various Lodges of the city, until near the expiration of the lease, when a more commodi- ous and richly decorated hall was procured, on the corner of Salina and Fayette streets, in which the order continued to hold its meetings until its de- struction by fire on the morning of Sunday, Febru- ary 3d, 1856. Thus was established

ONONDAGA LODGE, No. 79, I. O. O. F.

At that period there were but seven Lodges in operation throughout the whole portion of this State west of Schenectady, viz : Three at Buffalo, two at Rochester, one at Ithaca, and one at Utica- a territory now represented by more than 400 lodges of this order. During the existence of the lodge, there had been up to January 1, 1856: initiations, 455 ; additions by card, 53 ; making a total of 508 members.

In the year 1845, in connection with Syracuse Lodge, a purchase was made of a large lot in the Rose Hill Cemetery, in the present Fourth Ward of this city, and the same surrounded with a sub- stantial iron railing, decorated with the various emblems of the order. The first interment therein, and the first funeral they were called upon to attend, was that of Philo C. Weaver, of Oneida Lodge No. 70.

From Onondaga Lodge went out several colonies and established Odd-Fellows Lodges' in Syracuse and in several towns of the county-Syracuse Lodge, No. 109 ; Salina, No. 97 ; and Alphadelphia, No. 44, in this city. These are all flourishing at this date, and since these have been added to the number, Lessing, No. 163, Lincoln and Barbarossa. These last two and Lessing work in the German language.

Lincoln Lodge, organized in 1856, is the strong- est in numbers of any in Onondaga District.

Barbarossa, the youngest child of the order, has great zeal, but is yet the smallest in numbers of the city lodges.

In addition to the seven lodges in the city, is Cynosure Encampment No. 14, a flourishing insti- tution, which was formed by a union of Mt. Nebo, of Syracuse, and Uncas Encampment, of Baldwins- ville. This Encampment and four Lodges occupy Odd-Fellows' Hall, (near City Hall) ; the other three Lodges have each very beautiful halls-one in the First Ward, and two in the Fourth Ward.

Among the country lodges, Mohegan No. 29, at Baldwinsville, ranks first in numbers and influence. There are lodges in the villages of Jordan, Elbridge, LaFayette, Onondaga Valley and Delphi, all in a flourishing condition. See history of the towns.

INDEPENDENT ORDER OF FORESTERS.

This order is an offshoot of the Ancient Order of Foresters, one of the strongest secret beneficial societies of Great Britain, where it has existed for two or more centuries. In 1874, a division occurred among the members which resulted in the estab- lishment of the Independent Order of Foresters. At this time (1878) there are nearly 200 " Courts" and a membership of about 9,000 in the United States and Canadas.

The order is similar in its aims and workings to the Odd-Fellows and Masonic bodies, but differs from them in the " endowment" feature. Each Forester in good standing pays ten cents on the death of a brother, and the heirs receive a sum not exceeding $1,000. This being a constitutional pro- vision, it can never fail of realization while the order exists.
