Henderson.

On Saturday evening a house warming
was held by Emmanuel Lodge No. 153, l. o.
o. f., of Henderson. This lodge with only
33 members, as per the last printed report,
has built a fine block, about 30x5O, two
stories high and completed the same, and
paid for it. The first story is for store, the
the second is devoted to lodge purposes.
The hall 21x60 is finely fitted up and fur
nished, and that too in style that would
be credit to many larger and richer
lodge. Saturday night was held the first
meeting of the lodge in this hall, and they
extended an invitation to the members of
several sister lodges to be their guests on
that occasion. The invitation was accepted
largely and about 100 bretheren, despite the
threatening weather, assembled in the hall
at the appointed hour, including representa-
tives from Ow0sso, Corunna, Shiawassee
Farmers and Rankin lodges. The work of
the inltiatory degree was, as it always is,
finely rendered by the Owosso lodgeo staff.
AT the close of the lodge an elegant repast,
one that would have done credit to any of
the caterers in any of our interior cities, was
served in the store room by the sisters of
Naomi lodge No. 5, Daughters of Rebekah.
After supper an open meeting was held in
the new hall, A. b. Crane, p. g., acting as
master of ceremonies, and who gave brief
history of the building of the block and the
devotion to the principles of the order eX-
hibited by the fraternity there, as exhibited in
the sacrifices made by them in building and
furnishing their new quarters, without in
curing any debt Following this short
speeches were made by Geo. M. Dewey, p.
G. NJ, and Past Grands, Chandler, Lewis,
Wiley, Mccormick, Robertson and others
whose names we do not at this moment re-
call. When, as the hours of the Sabbath
morning drew near, the meeting closed each

The Late Robert G. Connell.

| cannot but feel sad when realize that
death has stricken down a steadiast friend,
Robert e. ConneIl. Between the departed
and myself there were ties of greatest friend
ship. He was genial, warm. hearted, gentle,
kindly, inoffensiye, pleasant and agreeable
in all the relations of life. Those who knew
him were won to him by that loving, kind.
ly, generous nature of his. He loved his
fellow men, and his fellow-men loved him,
and many hearts were grieved, almost star
tied, when the news first reached them that
our quiet friend had passed from among the
living, and was numbered with those who
had gone from US forever.
He has gone hence, but his memory will
survive, embalmed in the hearts of those
who knew him and appreciated his manly
qualities. He died as he lived, deserving
and possessing the warm hearted esteem OF
many and the ill.will of none. In private
life, in which he lived 10 a very great ex
tent, he was respected, confided in and be.
loved to very remarkable degree, and
have never witnessed community more
deeply impressed by the death Of one OF its
citizens than this over the death Of our
friend, Robert G. Connell.
Let US commend the heart. t.stricken wild
ow, his children and the bereaved relatives
and friends to the tender mercies and teach
ings Of Him who doeth all things well, and
who alone can heal the bruised hearts and
calm the whirlwind OF grief in the afflicted
soul.

In Memoriam,

Died, In Darnestown, Md, on January
2Sth, 1891, Florence, second and youngest
daughter of Hilleary and Lizzie Hoskinson
aged 18 years.
The subject of these remarks was a young
lady of noble traits, quiet and reserved man
ners. She was kind, gentle and charitable
TO all. AS daughter she was obedient and
affectIonate; as sister she was loving and
sympathetic; as friend she was true and
sincere. Early in life she gave her heart to
God-lived and died consistent member
of the M. E. Church South. She was ever
ready to work for Christ. Though frail,
physically, yet she labored on till the Mas
ter called her to her dying couch.
Day after day she fingered, suffering with
out murmur. On the morn of January
2Sth she fell asleep in Jesus.
Death is sad at all times, it comes to the
child and plucks the sweet bud before it
has opened its lovely petals and given its
beauty and fragrance to the world. IL comes
to old age after 1t has waited q long, long,
time for the flower to mature and plucks 1t
as 1t begins TO fade. But in this case the
flower had just opened and begun to show
its transcendent beauty to the world. But ere
it had been kissed by the dew of second
morn it was plucked and planted in heaven
to bloom forever. How different was it on
earth from the way it was in heaven when
she died On earth they closed her eyes in
death. In heaven God opened them and
bid her behold the beauties Of the new
Jerusalem. On earth we let her body down
in the cold, cold ground. In heaven they
raise her to throne with the redeemed. On
earth it was farewell Florence. In heaven
a happy greeting, "welcome home my dear
child, this oh transported soul is the heaven
for you from the foundation of the
world"

Old Virginia's mountains. They were met
at st. Paul by delegation OF distinguished
citizens from Virginia City, and can as
sure you they extended To them a hearty
welcome.
The weather was charming and Virginia
City was dressed in its handsomest Fail at

AS soon as our visitors had refreshed them
selves with the good things provided for

Some Of them were at once mounted on
horses and were climbing the heights, view

posed OF oak, poplar, hickory and chestnut,
Others visiting the mine and using the
miners pick were, for the time, yertable

Since their departure our place has as
sumed almost an entirely new aspect. The
