" TAUNTOX—Lodge of Unanimity and Sinceritg ( No . 327 ) . —The Brethren of this Lodge met ou AA ednesday , the 23 rd ult ., Bro . Bluett , the AV . M ., in the chair . Tho business of the evening consisted chiefly of discussing the questions submitted by

Grand Lodge as to the contemplated dealings with the Masonic Hall and other property , to reliefer the same moro beneficial to the Craft ; these questions having been freely canvassed , suitable answers thereto , embodying the wishes of the brethren , were prepared and agreed to . The ease of a deceased brother ' s widow and seven children was next brought under consideration . Tho brother was initiated in this Lodge aud had been a subscribing member thereof from the date of his initiation about ten years since , and had served the several offices up to that of

Senior AVarden ; he died somewhat suddenly , leaving a widow and seven young children ( the eldest of whom is not more than twelve years of age ) , and in very indifferent circumstances . The Lodgo at once voted the sum of £ ' > 5 to the widow , to assist her in her present distressing position . AVe hope an appeal ou their behalf will be . made to the Grand Lodge , and to the Provincial Grand Loclge of Somerset at their next meetings , and we feel assured that this ease only requires to be made generally known to the Craft to call forth from thoso Lodges grants worthy of such an occasion .
