AV ., and Brother the Rev , Stephen Lea Wilson , J . W . We congratulate the Ewell Lodge upon having at last cleared off the debt entailed upon it by the extravagance of its founders in 1832 . There can be no fear of its being at a loss for funds under the present management ; but the debt was frightful in amount when most of the present members joined . They have been regularly paying off large sums every year ; and now , by the munificent kindness of Brother Andrew , P . M ., the debt is finally and totally liquidated .
