Obituary .
THE Provincial Grand Lodge of Berks and Bucks has sustained a severe loss by the death , of their Provincial Grand Treasurer , Bro . George Chancellor , who bas filled that important office , with great credit to himself and benefit to the Province , for about six years , he was also
P . P . G . W ., and one of the Founders of the Grey Friars Lodge , No . 1101 , and a warm supporter of our Masonic Charities ; in fact , whether it was either within or without the pale of Masonry , it was only for him to know it was a
case requiring assistance , and his liberal hand was never withheld . His loss will be severely felt , not only by Masons but also by a large circle of sorrowing friends . Our late lamented brother's illness was of short duration . He
caught a severe cold , while fulfilling a business engagement in London , on the 23 rd January , which resulted in congestion of the lungs , terminating in his death , on Saturday last , at the early age of 45 . He was buried in the Beading Cemetery on Wednesday , being followed to his last resting
place , in addition to his bereaved relations , by about 50 members of the Beading Lodges , the pall being borue by the W . M . 's of 414 and 1101 , and four Provincial Grand Officers . He leaves a widow and three young children to mourn his loss , to whom we beg to offer our sincere sympathy .
Obituary.
THE ancient and illustrious order of Freemasons have promptly availed themselves of the opportunity afforded by the death of the lato Marquis of Conyngham , to testify their loyal respect and esteem for the Duke of Connaught , by electing him to the vacant office of Great Prior of Ireland . We feel sure that no more gratifying or acceptable proof of the popularity of H . R . H . has been given since the Prince became a
sojourner amongst us . In every part of the country which his Royal Highness has visited he has been received with the utmost cordiality by all classes of the people . The warmth of the reception is , no doubt , due , nofc only to the attachment felt for his Royal mother , but to his personal qualities , whioh conciliated the good-will of all parties . While such is the feeling with which his Eoyal Highness is regarded
throughout Ireland , which claims him as her own , the Order of Freemasons were glad to be enabled to offer a special token of respect , which the Prince would be likely to appreciate . To those who are uninitiated in the mysteries of the distinguished Craft the names which the officers bear will appear singularly quaint , but they possess a significance which every member understands , and the
proceedings are stamped with a solemn character whioh is intelligible to every one . The assailants of Freemasonry , who bring reckless charges against it , may well be perplexed and disappointed when they come to read the details of the imposing ritual which was performed . His Eoyal Highness is now the Great Prior of Ireland , the head of a flourishing branch of the Grand
array of Masonry . Tho ceremony , which was gone through with stately and reverential pomp , was no idle pageant , but suggestive of religious impressions . The services of the Prelate of the Order were gone through with becoming solemnity , in presence of the . re ceptories who took part in the scene , representing the great body of Freemasons throughout the whole country . The obligation which
was administered to His Royal Highness , the solemn prayer which was offered up , the hymn of praise which was sung as the brethren marched in procession amidst the pealing of tho grand organ —the whole ritual of expressive forms and symbols—conveyed to the mind of the spectator impressions worthy of an order of sacred chivalry , in whioh even Eoyalty itself might feel honoured in being
allowed to bear an official part . Every brother will join in congratulating the Great Prior on his installation , and the whole Masonio body in having its highest offices filled with such distinction . If any incentive were needed to stimulate their loyalty it would be supplied by the fact that they have enrolled in their highest ranks the Heir Apparent to the Throne and two other sons of their beloved Queen . — Dublin Daily Express .
Pope Pius IX . died on Thursday afternoon , from an attack of serous apoplexy . A large crowd gathered round the Vatican , but no one was allowed to go either in or out of that building . The foreign Cardinals have been ordered to proceed to Rome without delay .
