Mr.. Wilson is one OF the oldest Masons
in the city, having been made Mason
in the wear 1926. He is still active and
attends the meetings Of his Lodge with
great regularity, and his interest in Ma
sonic affairs is not in the least abated
by his age.
After the installation and presentation
ceremonies were over, the Lodge re-
paired TO the refreshment room where
oysters and coffee were served up in that
good style for which the Tiler; T. w.
Bliss, is noted; and very pleasant
time was EN- Dyed by all present.

MERRY CHRISTMAS. with
its ennobling and holy influences has
come and gone, and many hearts are
lighter and many homes brighter be-
cause of its coming. To the little peo-
pie, especially, it was q day OF joy.
Many hundred pairs of eyes opened
in wonder, yesterday morning, at the
sight of stockings. filed almost to
bursting by the children's patron saint
Santa Claus, and the shouts of happiness
at the discovery OF this or that long
looked for and much hoped for toy book
or other present, was the cause of equal
happiness in their parents hearts.
Welcome Christmas! Though the
passing years rob you of much Of child
hoods romance and the busy cares Of
this workday world make one day
much like another, still there fingers
round the heart the fragrance of the
happiness of years long flown, and the
music of young voices sets all the bells
of memory ringing out the merry chimes
of our own youthful days, and we be,
come young again and as happy as our
children. And we are better men and
better women for our Christmas happi'

A MAGNIFICENT MONUMENTAL the
marble works of J. A. Carroll, on John
street, can be seen monument just re-
ceived from Italy, which is designed to
be placed in the cemetery at Kingwooo'
Preston county, over the last resting
place of Capt. William Royse, highly
esteemed former citizen and agricui-
turist of that county. He died in May
1869 and in his will set aside three
thousand dollars for the purpose above
indicated, and five hundred dollars adj
ditiopal for the foundation. The con-
tract for furnishing the former was
awarded to Mr.. Carroll, Of this city.
The design, after receiving the approval
of the surviving friends of Capt r.
was sent to Italy by Mr.. Carroll, to be
wrought out in the best marble of that
country. That has been done, and after
the inscription has been cut, the COM
pleted memorial will be put In position
as before mentioned. This is perhaps
the finest work of the kind in the State.
The design is at once chaste and beau
tiful. 1t will repay any one to visit the
establishment of Mr.. Carroll and view
the exquisite representations Of farm
and orchard products in has relief on Its
base. The principal block weighs
nearly five tons, the shaft about four,
while the other three sections range
from one and half to three.
Mr.. c. keeps constantly full stock
of marble and Scotch granite monu'
ments and tables, besides the ordinary
head stones. He has built up large
business, requiring considerable mum

cutes. We commend him to those who
contemplate erecting memorials to de

REV. Mr.. CURRiE's FAREwELL.-St.

ing with the members of the congrega-
ton and citizens generally who were
drawn together to hear Rev. c. G. Cur
RE preach his last sermon as rector OF
that church, he having accepted call
to Grace Church, Providence, Rhode
Island. Those who expected to
hear a farewell sermon were dis
appointed, but those who wished to
hear an eloquent discourse preached
with earnestness and fervor were graft
fed, for Just such sermon was preach
ed. At its close the reverend gentle
man referred to the many warm friends
he had made in Wheeling, and how
hard it wa3 to say good bye. lie re,
ferred to his relations with the other
protestant clergymen Of this city
as having been most pleasant and with
some of them as intimate as it was
possible, in the nature Of things, for it
to be. His appeal to the church towort
for the truth and adhere to the faith
was most eloquent and his goodbye to
the congregation drew tears from eyes
unused to the melting mood. We
congratulate the people of Providence
on having secured the services OF so
able and Woodworking a rector, though
this parish can lily afford to lose him.

FALSE PRErENsEs.- Louis Fritz was
arrested by William Detwiler and Levi
Reed, on Saturday night on charge of
obtaining money under false pretenses
from John Roemer. 1t appears that
Fritz, who is slightly known to Mr..
Roemer, went into the store OF the
latter on Friday evening and filled
out a check on the German Bank
pretending that he had funds on de
post there. This check he got Mr..
Roemer to cash, saying that the bank
was closed, and he wanted the money
badly. On taking the check to the
bank it was found TO be worthless. a
warrant for the arrest Of Fritz was Is
sued by Squire Hammer, and MessrS.
Detwiler and Reed made the arrest as
above stated Fritz was committed to
Jail to await an examination on Tues
