MASONIC INSTALLATION.

| MASONIC INSTALLATIONS.
| Tuesday evening, Jan. IS, the officers in
| Marine lodge, F. and A. M, were in
stalled by Worshipful Bro. NJ. Del. Joyce,
ably assisted by f. Ii. Gross, as grand
marsh hal.
The officers are: j. j. Spofford, w. NJ. !;
+. A. Gross, 5. W.; L. l.. Haskell, j. W.;
A. 0. Gross. treasurer; A. ID. Haskell,
secretary; Rev. S. w. Chaplin, chaplain;
w. s. Green, marshal; E. Allen Green, 5.
D.; Z. f. Presley, j. D.; Goodwin
Thompson, 5. s.; John I. Presley, J. s.;
7. G. Pickering, tyler.
The very clear and entirely faultless ser
vice rendered by Mr.. Joyce was both re-
markabe and interesting. The chaplain
and full choir rendered service during
and after the ceremonies.
After installation, the youngest and
latest brother, the Rev. Mr.. Garland, de-
lvered an Grafton on 1.-The Democracy OF
Humanity. His theme was deep, yet
clear, interesting to all and especially SO
to the fraternity. Visiting Bro. Benz. T.
Sowle, of Ellsworth, spoke Interestingly.
Others were heard from, including gray
haired brother, one OF the founders OF
the lodge, the Hon. Seth Webb, who
touched most feelingly upon the subject
OF those who can no more return to their
old stations i'll the lodge-room.
Among other treats of music, a we'll
trained quartette of brethren alone sang
Liar board Watch, and Miss Cora Green
charmingly rendered 1.-The Lilies Of the
Field.
AS low twelve drew near, DDS people sat
down to a banquet in the lower hall,
which was followed by a grand social in
the temple. This lasted until the sound
ing line of time ran out some marks OF
another day, when all shook hands with
themselves and each other, declaring the
meeting to be better than any that had
been held before, and went away in har-
mony-none dissatisfied.
Many OF the best young men OF the
town, who are going out into the world
generally upon and beyond deep waters
are anxious to carry with them the seal
and commentator OF Marine lodge,
While those who stay, and the divines
who come, seem glad to early ask for its
rights and benefits.
The lodge is remarkably prosperous
with its 142 members. They are proud of
the fine building which they control, and
of the beautifully decorated and we'll
furnished hail which they own, pleased
" 18th the charities " hich they have been
able to dispense, and the financial condi-
tons that warrant their continuance.
