Masonic Installation and Supper.
One Of the best gotten up and most
pleasant occasions it has been our
pleasure to participate in since our So
journ in Dodgeville, was the celebration
of St. Johns Day, by the Masonic frater-
nifty. on last Monday evening. There
were present the members of the lodge,
their wives and portions Of their families
and other invited guests,-in all GEN.
pany of something over a hundred, come
together for the purpose ofenjoying them
selves and honoring the patron saint OF
an order whose cornerstone is the broth
erhood of mankind.
The first exercise of the evening was
the installation of the officers elected
for the ensuing year, which was done in a
very appropriate and impressive manner
by Deputy Grand Master, Orville Strong,
and Deputy Grand Marshal, J.T. Pryor, Jr.
Then, after a short time spent in social
enjo aeent and listening to some excellent
singing, caase the supper, which was
suberb affair, fully demonstrating that
while those Mason's wives and daughters
may not know the secrets and mysteries Of
masonry, they are possessed of some other
secrets at least equally valuable and con-
ducive to the happiness of mankind.
After supper, short and appropriate adj
dresses were delivered by Revs. Dawson
and Knibbs, the lodge choir sang number
of beauti ful pieces, and at a late hour the
company dispersed, all highly pleased
with the evenings entertainment.
The following are the officers installed
for the ensuing year:
w. M.-William w. Williams,
S. W.-Fred. Lawrey.
j. W.-Geo. w. Lewis.
Treasurer-B. Thomas, ,Ir.
Secretary-R. Dunstan.
S. D.-Charles Bishop.
j. OWN. Sands.
Stewards. Richard D. Davies, f. W.

r6T The Mineral Point Tribune has
been leased by Mr.. Geo. D. Cline, of
Fayette, Lafayette county, Mr.. Bennett
having found the duties of editing paper
and collecting the U. S. revenue of the
district rather more than one man could do
Justice to. While we regret the loss of
Mr.. Bennett from among the"quill drivers,
among whom he stood well up, we con-
graduate him on having something more
remunerative to follow, and hope be may
continue in Office as long as Uncle Sam
needs money. Mr.. Cline is young man
of good habits,and good scholar, having
graduated from the State University, in the
same class with Mr.. Watkins, fthe Dem
ocrat. We doubt not he will keep the
Tribune up to its present excellent stand
ard, and trust he may meet with well de-
served success.

You will have one consolation-nobody
will know it. The great mass Of man
