: Grand Lodge of. o. o. #. of vir-
n-fnia las t.s-1 49,

The Grand Lodge yesterday evening
postponed the endowment benefit plan un.
til the next annual meeting. The lodges Of
Richmond and vicinity were, however, au.
| thorized to adopt the scheme, q two-third
vote being necessary to commit a lodge to
Eit. Itwas further provided that any num-
Der of lodges in any other section Of Vir-
gina, not exceeding ten in number, may
form district by q two-thirds vote Of each
lodge for the adoption of the scheme.
/ The -p principal feature of the
endowment scheme is that when any mem
Der of lodge embraced in the scheme
dies, all the members of all the lodges en-
braeed in the district contribute dollar
each, which constitutes fund to pay the
| funeral expenses Of deceased, and if there
be any SURPLUS it is given to the widow,
or children. As the district of Richmond
and vicinity embraces membership of
near 900 members, the scheme, if adopt
| ed here, will raise near 81 600 on the death
of any member, to be appropriated as
| above stated. sa hza ntIrvgI Wsfr ,ilb18F

4 The monthly report Of the department
of agriculture, issued a few days ago, con-
tains lengthy and highly-instructiYe paper
by Professor Thomas Taylor, microscopic
of the department, on tho subject Of the
blight and rot of the potato. After dis
cussihg the theories sdf DR.. Lyon Playfair,
M. q. Berkeley and others, in regard to the
origin and natnreiof the disease, and stating
his own views on the same subject, Pro-
lessor Taylor gives the, particulars Of avery
interesting series of experiments performed
by himself, for the purpose of testing the
relative power of different potatoes to resist
the blight. 81 This he did by sleeping por-
tons Of the tubers to be tested in infusions
OF Per0nosporos Infestans, and other fungi
found in and upon diseased potatoes, and
by placing them In jars of water with por-
lions of The diseased potatoes themselves.
