Of the masonic fraternity that assem-
BLEED in the lodge room last Tuesday tc
attend the funeral of our late friend and
brother, W. NJ. Currier, but few could
recall the time when he was admitted tc

conferred on him at one meeting by
special dispensation, a somewhat rare
occurrence, made necessary by the fac
that he was under orders to join his
regiment, which he did the day after re
ceiving the degrees. The lodge met
then as now, the second Monday in the

the degrees were conferred, two days al
