cnrronce of all the brethren present in tho remarks made by Bro . Hook . The W . M . thon rose and returned thanks in a very ablo speech for tho kind manner in which tho brethren had received tho toast of his health . As to Bro .

been voted by the brethren for the able manner in which Bro . Hook had carried out the duties of second XV . Master of the Sackvillo Lodgo , nnd as a token of appreciation of the many benefits tho Lodge had received at his hands , particulars of which wore recorded on tho back of the jewel . Bro .

but tolling speech , and sat down amid tho hearty plaudits of all assembled .

In a former report of Bro . Sfaley ' s working , wo
felt it our duty to animadvert rather severely on his shortcomings . We are glad to perceive that onr strictures havo produced a salutary effect , as the work showed a decided and unmistakable improvement .
