propriate ceremonies on Tuesday evening Of
this week, at their hall in Granite Block, the
Office of installation being performed in each
case by the retiring officers. Something like
$50 invited guests were present. and the gath
erng was the largest, and, in many respects,
the most enjoyable, ever held here on a SINH
lar occasion. The exercises were varied and
enlivened with singing by quartette Of male
voices and also by one Of male and female
voices and the ceremonies appropriately
closed with the singing Of America by the
whole assemblage A very attractive feature
of the musical programme was song by Mrs
Holbrook with cornet accompaniment by Mr.
Burnett, Miss Willard presiding at the organ
DR.. D. p. Webster of Putney, Grand Master
or the Grand Lodge Of Vermont, and Henry
Clark of Rutland Grand Secretary, were
present as visitors, and the latter, responding

past winter he had visited every county in
the State in his official capacity, and he could
say with assurance that not in the past 20
years had the order in the State been every.
where so prosperous as now. lie referred in
words of pride and satisfaction to the great
work Of charity which the masonic organiza-
ton is steadily doing stating that the total
disbursements for this purpose throughout
the country, beginning with the Chicago fire
and including the st. Johns, n. B., fire and
the yellow fever scourge, with many minor
charities, up to the present time, have
amounted to no less than - 900, 900. As q
matter, however, of still greater moment than
that of mere pecuniary aid, Mr.. Clark re.
minded his brethren of their privilege and du-
ty to admonish, help and rescue those in the
order who fall into the ways of intsmperance
and immortality At the conclusion of the
formal exercises Refreshments Of cake, ice
