Thursda _ v , 1 st inst ., being the first after the election of the new officers . In the unavoidable absence of the M . E . Z ., the first chair was taken at 4 p . m . by Comp . Jones , P . Z .

There were several candidates for exaltation named in the circular , of whom only one , Bro . Rowe , presented himself . Having been previously ballotted for he was admitted , properly preparedand duly exalted to this supreme degree . Too much can
, hardly be said in praise of all the oflicers , who , without exception , did their work in excellent style , the more commendable as this was the first occasion on which they officiated in their new positions . Not only were they textually perfect , speaking with fluency , but there was a quiet impressiveness of manner which gave dignity to the ceremony , and could not but produce a favourable impression on the candidate . One point is to be
regretted , namely , that with the exception of the acting M . E . Z ., the I . P . Z ., and the reporter , himself , though a visitor , a P . Z . of this chapter , there were none present of tho many who have . ¦ passed the chairs .
The Chapter was closed at six o'clock , and the companions adjourned to the banqueting room , whore an excellent repast bad been prepared . This was followed by the usual complimentary toasts , several addresses ancl songs , all which contributed to the happiness and harmony of the meeting , which was terminated about nine o ' clock . In regard to the mention made above as to the absence of P . Principalsthis appears to be a defect too common throughout
, the Craft . Many are most zealous for a few years , aro ambitious to rise to the higher offices , peihaps perform their duties in each thoroughly , and then , as if the effort had exhausted all their powers , soon become indifferent , and after a time entirely . give up attendance , forgetful of their original obligations , which ought ever to be considered as binding . They thus , too , lead the outer world to think lightly of the Craftwhen it is
, found that those who from their superior privileges might be expected to appreciate it most highly , and to seta good example to younger members , prove the opposite by their neglect of its principles and advantages . This is not a mere surmise , for such disregard of loclge duties on the part of old members is often adduced by those unfriendly to us , as evidence of the limited hold that Masonry has ujion their affections .
