Atholl Lodge , No . 88 . —The brethren of this lodge have had to mourn the loss of their Worshi pful Master , Bro . Potter , who died from a severe attack of a malady of some years' standing . At the lodge held in December , to elect his successor , Bro . Chinn , P . M ., stated that he was sorry to say that the deceased brother hacl left his widow and children claimants on their benevolence ; he unfortunatel y had been unable to prepare for the clay of adversity . He begged to move that a subscription be entered into
among the members , and that as large a sum as the funds would admit should be added by the lodge , to place the widow in a position to maintain herself ancl family . Bro . Lloyd , the W . M . elect , warmly and liberally seconded the proposition . The sum of ten pounds was then subscribed by the members present ( about ten in number ) . The subscription is proceeding favourabl y ; an appeal has been made to the other lodgeswhich no doubt will be generouslresponded to
, y . The installation of the W . M . elect took place on January 5 , the ceremony being conducted by Bro . Lloyd , P . G . T ., in his usual excellent manner ; many of the brethren appeared in mourning , in respect to the deceased brother : the evening was passed in true masonic feeling . We trust the apathy we had occasion to speak of in a late number has passed away , and that fresh spirit and renewed strength will soon restore this lodge to its former high standing among the lodges in this town .
St . Paul ' s Lodge . —The installation of Bro . Roden , as W . M ., took place on January 31 , and was attended by the D . P . G . M . and other provincial officers , and most of the members . Bro . Simpson conducted the ceremony . Lodge of Instruction . —Bro . Dr . Bell Fletcher , D . P . G . M ., and other provincial officers , have succeeded in forming a Lodge of Instruction , which met for the first time on February 4 , in the committee-room of the
Philosophical Institution , and will meet each Friday evening at the same place . The brethren have solicited the assistance of Bro . Skeet , W . M . of No . 696 , P . M . of Nos . 88 and 234 , and P . P . S . G . W . ; the worth y brother was a pupil of the late Bro . Peter Gilkes , and his extended information , and his readiness to impart it , have rendered his assistance truly valuable to the Craft in this town . We trust the bri ght beginning of this much-needed lodge is but a presage of a bri ghter future .
