It appears a member of the Neptune Lodge , Mo . 419 , Glasgow Province , having been in ill-health , and to whom considerable assistance was

extended from 419 , the Prov . Grand Lodge , the Grand Lodge , and from the Benevolent Funds in Royal Arch Masonry in Scotland , had to be removed to a hospital in London to undergo an operation . Here he was taken in hand by some of our Brethren across the Border , and a

subordinate Lodge made a grant for his aid of £ 15 , and the Grand Lodge Board of Benevolence is reported to have voted £ 30 , making a total of £ 45 voted in his favour in

England . Nothing but praise can be spoken of such generosity on the part of our English Brethren , and Scotland should feel grateful in the knowledge . — " Glasgow Evening News . "

1 HE death took place suddenly , on Good t nday evening , of Bro . Gustavus Broughton Foster , known to * a large circle of friends and . to the music hall profession as " Gus " Foster . The deceased was for many years the responsible manager

of the Hall-by-the-Sea , Margate , and for the past four years he had been the proprietor of the Station Hotel , facing the JU . C . and D . Station , which was in the summer time a regular house of call for members of the profession staying in Margate or Ramsgate . His death was painfully sudden ,

from rupture of a blood vessel on the brain , and it caused a profound sensation and deep feeling of regret in the town . Gus Foster was but ; fifty-three years of age , and he leaves a numerous family , all but the youngest being grown up .

The funeral took place at the Margate Cemetery , and the remains were followed to the graveside by several Freemasons , of which Order the deceased had been a useful and hard-working member .

THE occasion of the funeral of Bro . Henry Cox called forth on Saturday , 14 th inst , a remarkable demonstration of respect . Special trains were run , the whole of the business of the town of Burnham was suspended , some 400 men walked in procession , and deep grief pervaded all classes

of the community , r uneral marches were beautifully played . A large company of Brother Masons , with the church choir , formed a guard of honour . In church the lesson was read by the Rev . Preb . Dupuis , M . A , and the hymn , " Days and moments , " was sung with much feeling . The church was

crowded , many being unable to enter . At the graveside the vicar read the office of committal , and the Rev . E . J . Corlett shared the duties of the office . The floral tributes were

several hundreds , and came from all parts of the kingdom . The sympathy of all classes of men has been extended to the bereaved , and on Sunday fitting allusion was made in the pulpits of the town .

THE funeral of Bro . Joseph Wallworth , of Higher Tranmere , Cheshire , took place on Monday , 1 st inst , and was attended by a large number of sympathising friends , including representatives of the Temple Lodge , No . 1094 , Liverpool , of which deceased was a member .

THE grave closed over the mortal remains of the late Bro . William Thomas Wiggins , in Chatham Cemetery , on Monday afternoon , 1 st inst , in the presence of many sympathetic friends . The Brethren of the Royal Kent Lodge of Antiquity , No . 20 , were fully represented , those present

including Bros . Walter Cuckney N . M ., C . E . Skinner P . M . ( Mayor of Chatham ) , G . E . Bond P . M , W . Payne P . M , C . R . Cockburn P . M . and Secretary , W . J . Acworth S . W , A . R .
