Grand Lodge OF Frcemasons in Ireland has
passed the following resolution
"Whcreas the Grand Lodge OF Ireland
has received official notification that the
Grand Orient Of France has altered the first
article OF its constitution from its previous
form, and emitted therefrom, as one OF its
fundamental principles, belief in the exist
ence of God and the Immortality OF the soul,
the Grand Lodge OF Ireland hereby resolves
that the Grand Orient OF France having, by
such alteration, rendered admissible as
members of lodges within its jurisdiction
persons who do not believe in the existence
of personal Deity, has thereby caused
breach in the foundations Of ancient Ma
sonry, and acted in violation OF the first
great principle Of the order, and therefore
the Grand Lodge OF ireland hereby declares
that it cannot continue to recognize the
Grand Orient Of France as 4 Masonic body,
and it hereby directs all lodges working
under the Irish constitution to decline re
ceiving as Masons any person bailing from
the Grand Orient Of France or from any
subordinate lodge under its jurisdiction"

LIFE INSURANCE DURING THE WAR;
Washington, November 26.-The following
decision was rendered in the Supreme
Court to-day: No. 4i, New York Life-ln-
surance Company Us. Davis, error to the
Circuit Court for the Eastern District OF
Virginia. In this case it was held that the
stipulation in policies Of insurance that all
receipts for premiums paid at agencies are
to be signed by the president and actuary OF
the company furnishes no ground for as
suming that the place OF payment OF the
premium is the residence or place OF
business OF the agent, but thai the place
of payment is the home-ottice OF
the company, and that as war sus-
pends all commercial intercourse between
citizens of beli2erent countries or States,
nn active business can be maintained,
either personally or by correspondence, or
through on agent, by the citizens OF one
bcllgerent State with the citizens OF the
other Hence the outbreak OF the war de-
'termned any existing insurance agency in
the South for northern companies, and tine
tender of the payment OF premiums to sucl
agencies after the commencement OF the
war was a void act, and had no effect to con
tinue the policy in force or to give the IN
sured claim to revival at the close OF the
war. Reversed. Mr.. Justice Bradley de
| lvered the opinion.

The writer has been congratulate very of
ten on the harvest made by the teams.ers in

than congratulated, as the damage done to

saved his merchant-mill and stock, but had
lost his saw-miIl and forebay. Mr.. John

John L. Pitzer a valuable, wheel, which he
used for raising water from tile river to
supply his tannery. Many other citizens
lost fencing, hay, fodder, dc. The streets
are washed, and the sediment OF sand and

hear OF great destruction above us. Many
Of the farmers along the river have lost
everything. The freshet came upon them
suddenly in the night, and they had time
only to escape with their lives. Fortunate
ly no lives have been lost. The perpendicu-

This county will not soon recover from the
loss OF fencing and crops. Yesterday and
