JonNSHAVEN . —St . John ' s Lodge Centenary .- -A hundred years having now passed since the formation of this lodge , it was some time ago decided to celebrate the centenary , and Friday , the 15 th October , was fixed as the most suitable day . On that day the brethren met in their hall at half-past three . A deputation from the Kilwinning Lodge , No . 15 , Montrose , and individuals from

other lodges assembled with them . Rather remarkably , a deputation from this same Kilwinning Lodge had assisted in making office-bearers at the foundation of St . John ' s Lodge . The hall on this occasion was tastefully decorated with evergreens and dahlias , given by Mr . Scott . The lodge being opened , aud the brethren ranked in marching order , they proceeded directiy' to Brotherton

Castle , the residence of Hercules Scott , Esq ., whose grandfather , David Scott , Esq ., of Nether Benholm , was the first R . W . M . of St . John ' s Lodge , aud the chief instrument in obtaining its charter of erection and constitution . There they received a very kiud welcome from Mr aud Mrs . Scott . The R . W . M .. Alex . Middleton , jun ., read a complimentary address to Mr . and Mrs . Scott , referring

to the part taken in founding the lodge by Mr . Scott ' s grandfather , a hundred years ago , to the philanthropic spirit of Mr . and Mrs . Scott , and wishing "the Great Architect" of the world to bestow on them every blessing . To this address Mr . Scott gave an appropriate reply , referring to the many alterations which had taken place during the past 100 years . lie contrasted the time when

a proprietor offered a farmer 300 or 400 marks to take a farm , with the present state of matters . Hi also said that at that time tea was unknown , except in the gauger ' s family ; and said that a 100 years hence it would perhaps be a matter for surprise that at this time the best light •the people of Jobushaveu had was that of paraffin oil . He invited them freely to inspect his grounds . After giving

Mr . and Mrs . Scott three cheers , and taking a view of the garden , & c , the brethren left by the lower gate and entered the village by tho east end . They then marched through the town , aud arrived again about 0 p . m . at their hall , where they found a sumptuous dinner awaiting them , prepared by Mrs . McHardy . In all 41 sat down to dinner . After tho usual loyal and Masonic toasts , the Treasurer

Alex . Middleton , gave a graphic aud detailed history of the lodge from the commencement to the present time , contrasting the difficulties they had at times to contend with , with their present prosperous state , their funds now amounting to . £ 550 . He also spoke of the good they had been enabled to do to their sick members and widows b y the allowances granted them , and to the general

community by lending money on security , bong and sentiment now followed each other in rapid succession until about 10 p . m ., when the lodge was closed . The proceedings wero concluded by a full dress balk- the most orderly and best that could be , to which Mr . Thomas Young ' s violin baud supplied the music .

IIOLLOWAY ' S OINT . ME . NT AND PILLS . —Unwhole some Changes . —The changeable weather is causing much sickness , and exerting tho most powerful influence in deranging the secretions of the body . Alternating chills and heats so derange the capillary circulation that the liver , stomach , or lungs , must become disordered . Ilolloway's Ointment well rubbed over these parts twice a day , proves

the quickest , safest , and best corrective . It penetrates the skin , enters the deeper structures , purifies their blood , rouses torpid organs to more active exertions , cleuirscs their substance , regualiscs their circulation , and renders their secretions abundant , without annoying irritation or in any way depressing , much less exhausting , the vital forces . Ilolloway ' s medicaments afford an easy means of curing coughs , colds , influenza , and asthmatic affections .
