SIR ERASMUS WILSON P . G . D . THE country has sustained a heavy loss by the death of Sir Erasmus Wilson , F . R . S ., whose many and valuable contributions to medical science , and whose numerous acts of philanthropy—notably his enlargement of the Sea-Bathing Infirmary at Margate—were recognised three
years since , when Her Majesty conferred upon him the honour of Knighthood . As a surgeon he will be best remembered as our greatest authority on diseases of the skin , his " Students' Book of Diseases of the Skin " and " Report on Leprosy" being among his ablest and best-known
works . He became a Member of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1831 , a Fellow in 1843 , a Member of Council in 1870 , and President in 1881 . No doubt the public will remember him best from his having charged himself with the entire expense—amounting to upwards of £ 10 , 000—of
bringing over to this country the obelisk known as Cleopatra ' s Needle , which many , many years ago was presented to the British nation by the then Pasha of Egypt . In Masonry , though his career was comparatively a short one ,
our deceased brother won for himself a hi gh position . He was initiated in the Lodge of Antiquity , No . 2 , in 1870 , of which , as well as of the Erasmus Wilson Lodge , No . 1464 , Greenbithe , ho was a Past Master . Ho was a Past 55 . of

principal Officers of the Workhotse and several bovs and girls from the Parochial Schools , constituted a gathering at tbe grave far larger than is usually witnessed on similar sad occasions , and testified to the esteem in which our late brother had been held by those who had benefited by
association with him . At the close of the solemn and impressive ceremony , and after due respect had been shown to the bereaved relatives and sorrowing friends , the
brethren and companions gathered around the grave of their lamented brother , and depositing sprigs of acacia upon the coffin , paid the last sad tribute of respect to one whose memory will long be cherished amongst them .

THE death of this venerable brother occurred on the 6 th instant , in his ninety-sixth year . Bro . Coverley was a P . M ., and for over forty years Secretary of the Euphrates Lodge , No . 212 ; and was certainly one of the oldest Freemasons in England . He was initiated in the Eup hrates
upwards of 49 years ago , and continued a working member , holding the office of Secretary , down to the time of his death . We believe he never joined another Lodge . The
