NORTH MUNSTER . LIMEEICK . —The ancient Union Lodge , No . 13 , assembled on Saturday , the 16 th Sept ., in great force , and having closed their labours , retired for refreshment , to celebrate the installation of Bro . John Bourchier , of BaggotstoAvn , as W . M . Never was the throne of this distinguished Lodge more ably filled than by the worth
y Bro . Bourchier , whose successful endeavour it was to make every man present feel himself indeed a member of a happy family-party , and whose genuine suaA'ity and hospitable liberality gave a spring to that soul-binding union which alone is congenial to a Masonic atmosphere . Mirth , good fellowship , and brotherl y love prevailed , tempered by the avoidance of anything like levity or excess , as
becomes the true spirit of the Craft . It is needless to particularize the Brethren present on this occasion . AVe content ourselves with saying that visitors both from Dublin and from England attended , who carried away with them most pleasing impressions of the Lodge and its members ; and that the W . M . was supported on his right hand , by our revered Prov . G . M . Bro . Michael Furnell , D . L ., the
pillar and stay of _ the Order , whose presence is always sufficient guarantee for genuine Masonic spirit . Long may old 13 flourish , and frequent may be such reunions !
