Hall in this town was dedicated in
ancient form, in the presence OF the
Winchester and Brucetpwu lodges, by
the Honorable and Worshipful Judge.
n procession was formed at Mr.. Nav
bury. tavern. which proceeded, ae-
companied by the Winchester hand OF
music, to the New Hall, where the GER
emouy of dedication was perfsrmed. -
From thence the procession muved 10
the Lutheran Church, where an appro-
pirate discourse was delivered by the
Rev. Brother Reed, to a numerous as.
semblaSe of ladies and gen,Iemen.-
The brethren then returned to Mr..
Mayburry's where an elegant dinner
was prepared; aud of which they par
took. Nothing occurred TO interrupt
the harmony of the occasion.
The following remarks upon the late duel.
between McDulIie and Cumming, by the Edi-

the subject, the, we, without hesitation, pre-
sent them to our readers in preference to any
