88•11 year. Mr. Jacob warn one of the oldest sub..crib-
log masons tinier the British Constitution, though, as
we have said, he was surpassed by another Way-
mouthian, our own Mr. W. Eliot. Mr. Jacob was

1852. He was R .y.l Arch Masan ; Knight Templar,

years, being suoc-eded by Mr. Milledge, who in turn
is sucoeeded by his son Mr. Sidny Spark Migedge.
Up to about a twelvemonth before Ms death, Mr.
Jacob was active in his movements, but this activity
was some ettat lessene I by a slight hurt in one of his
feet. At 88 no cause need be s night for his decease;
but we believe there was some Wilms, the hurt of his
foot is 'aid t bare nothing to do with it, though •
lessening of his activity might even have curtailed the
powers of recovery posi.e.sod by a gentleman of Ag,
and he expired on Friday last. The tuner .1 will take
