One year ^ having elapsed , and the Brother having failed to do so , the Lodge then gave notice to the Grand Lodge , as also to the Lodges in the island . The Grand Secretary replied , "I cannot but regret that a Brother who has filled the chair of a Lodge should so far forget his duty to bis Lodge , as well as what was due to his own honour , as to detain documents which are not his own individual property .

Under the above circumstances , is the Lodge holding from Scotland justified in permitting the excluded Brother to attend at its meetings , and to sit in the east on the dais ?

Death Of Bro. Kane.
DEATH OF BBC . KANE .
The loss of one so deeply lamented by the world ( to whom he was known as Dr . Kane , the great Arctic traveller ) , in the prime of life , has been the subject of deep regret throughout the civilized globe . His great sacrifices to science and humanity are too well known to our readers to need any recapitulation from us ; but to the Brethren of Canada it will afford a melancholy pleasure to know that he ,
too , was one of us . We see , from exchanges , that he was deservedly held m high estimation among our American Brethren , who purpose holding " Lodges of sorrow , " to testify their admiration of a Brother whose daring enterprises in the noble cause of humanity and science have brought him to an early grave ; a proposition we highly approve , and would suggest that the Lodges in Canada should
do something to show their appreciation of " departed worth . " In these degenerate days , whenever one of our Order falls from " his high estate , " the uninitiated readily point out the Mason , but forget the man . Let us , then , show the world that if we have occasionally a black sheep in the fold , we have amongst us the great and good , and that we mourn their loss , and pay a tribute to their memory . —Canadian Bioneer .
