BRO . R . J . PATON . WE regret to have to record the death of Bro . R . J . Paton , I . P . M . Israel Lodge , No . 205 . It appears that Bro . Paton , while passing clown Coldharbour-lane , Brixton , either missed his footing or slipped upon something , and his head coming in contact with the kerbstone caused instantaneous death . Tho deceased loaves a widow and five children .

The current number of the Masonio Review fully sustains its character for perfection , so far as the arfc of typography is concerned , bufc in other respects wo fear it will not meet tho demand that prompted its appearance in tho path devoted to Masonic Journalism . The brief references ifc makes to tho lato Sir Daniel Gooch have appeared

elsewhere , and the same remark will apply equally to a large proportion of the other " intelligence" our contemporary indulges in . A splendid specimen of the printer ' s art is

displayed in the portrrifc of the late Sir Daniel Gooch , which is everything that could be desired . Bro . Frederick Binckes is the worthy Mason selected for fche " Afc Homo " page , and thafc brother ' s friends will appreciate tho fraternal spirit that pervades the writer ' s remarks throughout . The portrait of Bro . Binckes is also a very successful one .
