MASONRY.

On Tuesday eve occurred one OF the
happy events, which the Wheeling
brethren have been looking forward 10
for some time, and which was none
other than to accompany the Deputy
Grand Master Of the First Masonic as
trict, to the town OF West Liberty LOT
the purpose OF paying a fraternai VlsiI
to Liberty Lodge No. &c, and also TO
assist them in the operation OF the MILL
and to help grind out another Jealous
Mason.
The following are the brethren who
went from Wheeling, and were In due
time wheeled in fine order into the
town of West Liberty:
Joseph Hall, S. Waterhouse, Jr., Il.
Alsen, Aug. Withuhn, and Benz. Bar
low, of Ohio No, l. NJ. Emsheimer, l.
Isenburg, L. w. Blaney, of No. 5. ID.
L. Richey, Robert Darrah, John A.
Zorn, James McCahOw. P. ii. Prince,
VIII Higgins, f. Peterson, Lew AL
bright, r. 3. Roberts, VIII Duoley,,
Thos. Leyland, VIII Brooks, Richard
Robb, Ed. Robinson, Frank White,
John Felsing, of No. 30. Lewis Burke,
Mt. Carbon, No. IS, Piedmont, w. va,
and J. II. Montgomery, No. 20, w.
Va.
There were also present quite good
representative of Liberty Lodge, and
some visiting brethren from the sur
rounding country. Among the latter
were Bro. Nelson, OF Bellaire Lodge,
Bellaire, Ohio, and Bro. Rodgers, OF
Bethany Lodge, Brooke county, w. va.
The lodge room is.Quite good size, out
when all were together in the lodge II
made quite large audience. An aspir-
ant was announced for the Sd. Past
Master McCahon was placed in the
East, and he selected Worshipful Darrah
as S. W., Past Master Albright asJ. W.,
Will Dudley as Master of Ceremonies,
Bro. Grade as J. D.. as first, second and
third Craftsmen, Albright, Hall and
Richey. Everything being ready, the
work began, and the boys prepared TO
give the mill an extra run to turn out
the fellow whose crafty ways had been
found to be true by his masters gaze.
The work was well done throughout,
and everyone present enjoyed it hugely,
more especially the candidates. After
the work was done all were invited
to partake of a sumptuous ban
quet which had been prepared By
Mr.. Rodgers and his good wife at the
Bethany House, the inner man was well
filled with the good things, and all pre-
pared for the return trip. Your corre-
spondent was permitted to return with
the boys, and enjoyed the ride hugely
under the light of full moon and with
the music which accompanied 1t, and
which maze the miles appear to fly fast
away. Two of the songs the boys sang
with vim and made the woods ring
with their voices. They were the
'Blue Bottle Flies" and the death OF
the Robins" and were very appropriate
for the occasion and the country scenes
they were passing through. All arrived
at home in the early morn, glad they
had been to Liberty, and they voted the
brethren of that town as being No. l
Masons, and expect to have them come
to Wheeling in the near future
and return the compliment. The
four Wheeling brethren who went
out in the private conveyance, took the
wrong road at the foot of Liberty Hill
on their return from reasons best known
to no one, but we think they were ex-
pecting in that way Of entering to
gather more Henry fruit, but we learn
they found none by that way. The fact
is they lost their way, and il they had
not by luck struck the river road, they
would have found themselves at Short
Creek instead of Wheeling, in the morn
ing, but they must thank the Captain
of the guard for assisting them out of
their dilemma, and who was more anx-
ious to get home than travelling in the
sand switched country.
