by the W . M ., after which he made a most eloquent speech , commenting upon the numerous virtues and highly estimable qualities of the late R . W . D . Brov . G .

M .-, stating that as the Lodge had placed Bro . Wearing in the chair a second year , it showed that they must repose the greatest confidence in him , and he felt persuaded that that confidence would not be misplaced ; we need hardly say that the toast was responded to heartily . The W . M . returned thanks in a
few words , pledging himself to do the utmost that lay in his power for the advancement of the Lodge , and then proposed the health of the newly-invested Officers . These all responded to the toast in eloquent terms , promising to work together with that harmonious feeling so requisite for the maintenance of order and regularity in a Lodge . The W . M . then proposed the health of the newlyinitiated members . Bro . Bitt , in returning thanks , aptly remarked , that as the
middy , when he joins his vessel , hopes some day to be a Nelson , so he hoped some day to be a W . M ., and should ever keep that high idea in his mind ' s eye . Bro . Callis , the Treasurer , proposed the health of the visiting Brethren . Bro , Hokemuller , of the Grand Lodge of Hanover , in a most eloquent and truly Masonic speech , which frequently produced sounds of applause , returned thanks on behalf of the foreign visitors , and Bro . Wearing , P . M . No . 350 , returned thanks for the other visiting Brethren . The meeting was enlivened with some verv excellent sonofs from Bros . Britchard , Shenherd , Nuttalh Jones . Bord ,
Shrigley , S . W . of No . 350 ( Lancaster ) , and others . The last toast of the evening having been given , the Lodge was closed in ancient form . We cannot help prophesying that from what we know personally of the W . M . and Officers of this Lodge , it will go on prospering and increasing every month , and we trust that peace and harmony will still continue to exist among its members .
