M \ sDNitv FIITY Ymiis Aoo . The following extract from an old magazine

is , perhaps , not unworth y of reproduction . " Mr . Thomas Busher , of Kirkland , Kendal , died on the 23 th of November , 1822 , aged 66 . 1 le suffered a long and severe affliction , occasioned

by the apparently trilling circumstance of removing a w arl from the back of his hand b y a little caustic . Being the oldest Freemason in Kendal , and haying been a worth } - member of that body ,

as wel ! as a respectable member of society in general , his obsequies were observed with Masonic honours . The sublime anthem from the 7 th of Job , ' •' Is there nol an appointed time , ' accompanied b y the organ , was powerfull y felt b y

the assembled mourners ; and the oration at the grave side , so impressivel y delivered b y Mr . Samuel Grundy , the W . M ., was calculated to leave a solemn feeling of reli gions awe on the minds of the attendants . "

Many of your readers will recognise in the above paragraph a relative of Bro . Edward Busher , Pa . it Grand Sword Hearer of England , the energetic and indefatigable Provincial Grand

Secrei-. - . n of Cumberland and Westmorland , who is so well known in the north of England for his zeal and devotion to the Craft , and for his able , anil substantial support of the various Masonic Charities .
