Hotel . About twenty years ago , Bro . Launcelot Dobson , of Pettendale , a gentleman deeply versed in Masonic lore , having resided several years in London , where he had been the instructor of many Lodges , kindly took upon himself to instruct a few aspirants for Masonic fame who were members of the Lodge of Unanimity ; but many years have now elapsed since Bro . Dobson was gathered to his fathers . Amongst other fortunate events which have befallen the Lodge of Unanimity , we may mention that Bro . B . G . Hind son , who had seceded for several years from the
above Lodge , in consequence of the mismanagement of its affairs , has recently rejoined . Upon Bro . Hindson has fallen the mantle of the late Bro . Dobson , and the Masonic instruction which had been communicated by that venerable Brother is now as freely distributed by Bro . Hindson , to the young members of the Lodge of Unanimity . In conclusion , we may add that the Lodge , instead of being over head and ears in debt , as it was a few years ago , is now rich in funds and rich in members—its prospects most cheering- —and instead of dragging a miserable and degraded existence , it is now the best Lodge in the Province of Cumberland .
DEYONSHIBE . Fortitude ( No . 122 ) , Prince George Hotel , Stonehouse . —This very numerous Lodge met on the 14 th March , when the W . M . very ably initiated a gentleman into the Order .

The business of the evening being over , the Brethren retired to refreshment , and spent an hour in " mirth and jollity , without frivolity . "
Friendship ( No . 238 ) . —The members met at the Lord Hood , in King-street , Devonport , on the 14 th February , when a Lodge of Emergency was held , and the W .

Sincerity ( No . 224 ) , St . George ' s Hall , Stonehouse . —The members of this highly respectable Lodge held one of " Emergency " on the 12 th March , for the purpose of initiating a gentleman of " world-wide fame , " namely , Lieutenant Pirn , of the Arctic Begion Expedition , which was done in a style equal to the occasion , by Bro .
