The Odd-Fellows' New Ritual.
BALTIMORE, March 5.—At the session of the Sovereign Grand Lodge, I. O. O. F., held at Cincinnati in September last, a committee, consisting of Judge Henry F. Garry of Maryland, Charles M. Busbee of North Carolina, William P. Hazlett of Ohio, John T. Jakes of Delaware, and Joseph S. Hope of West Virginia, was appointed to revise the ritual of the work of the order. The committee has been in session in this city during the past week, and completed its labor.
The revised work will be ready for the use of lodges by the 1st of June next. The principal change requires the working of all subordinate lodges in the third degree, which is to go into effect after the 1st of July next. Messengers will be sent to Germany, Switzerland, Australia, Canada, and other foreign lands where the order exists, to instruct the lodges in the new work.
The publication of the new ritual is in the hands of a committee and will be pushed to publication as rapidly as possible.
