over which he had the honour of presiding could scarcely muster enough members to form a meeting , and now he was delighted to see around him not only the brethren of 334 , but several very influential brethren visitors ; indeed , ho could assure them nothing but the very inclement weather prevented a much larger attendance on this evening . He did not flatter himself it was altogether owing to his exertions the lodge was piosperingbut he always found that when brethren were united in
, their efforts to advance tlie Craft ancl conduct the ceremonies in an orderly and proper manner , it was sure to flourish . Nor must he omit to thank the W .

He was certain the brethren of S'J-i would uphold him in saying that , had it not been for their assistance some time ago , when , unfortunatela screw was loosethat the warrant must have

M ., and all their brethren gave them the use of their room , jewels , & c , and the benefit of their experience in labour . Now look at the result . There will be more than forty members of this lodge present at the Festival of St . John . He again begged to thank them one and all for his re-election , ancl hoped he would see a greater
number of his fellow townsmen join the society where peace , love , and harmony is and ought to prevail . Bro . Michael Delany , S .

tbe society in this neighbourhood , where it is again raising its head up . He thanked them sincerely for the manner in which they received the toast , and would continue to support the W . M . as long as ho could , and forward the interests of this lodge ; but he must remind them that many years of foreign service and scrimmages he had served in might prevent his regular attendance every night , but he would endeavour to meet them ( Hearhear . ) The newly-initiated brethren were ably

, now since the last night of meeting been called , wo humbly hope to the Grand Lodge above , leaving his family only poorly provided for . Brethren , it has long been our custom here to give effect to the toast by giving a small sum to the charitable relief fund of this lodge . AVe don't miss a small sum , and oh , brethren , if you were all aware ofthe many cases of real distress and the appeals for aid I received when I was Secretary , you
will contribute handsomely to this fund . Remember the divine command . Love ye one another even as I loved you . Several pounds were realised on this occasion . " Burns' adieu " closed the proceedings of the evening . The night was the severest known here for some time , and the brethren were obliged to take shelter in the hospitable roof of the White Hart long after the meeting broke up , and several with difficulty reached their homes in the country on account ofthe floods , the river having overflowed with the rains .
