enclosed in a massive oak and gilt name , and moat artistically illnminated , amongst the adornments being a beautiful floral border , a fao simile of the banner of the Lodge , consisting of a whito hor ? e

upon a bine ground , with the motto , " Nex aspera terrene , " in a circle containing Mr . Botting's family crest , consisting of a swan , with tho motto , "Floreat qui laboret , "and elsewhere is Mr . and Mrs . Botting ' s monogram " W . E . B . " The wording of tho address is as follows : —

" A good action brings its own reward , and this truism has its application in every day life . It will he in tho recollection of many of onr readers that some two years back a rather troublesome epidemic of scarlet fover broke

out ia our " grossly mismanaged" Institution ah Wood Green . Something like 50 boys wero a I tacked , but thn domestic staff combated it most sui cossfnlly , and no one with more pertinacity than thc matron , Mrs . D > VP . Tho

parents and friends of several of the pupils seem to realize that to her energy is due the tact that no case resulted fatally , and it gratifies us to be in a position to state that now tho lad y in question is about to leave tho

Wood Green establishment , communications have been received b y her , expressing regret , and exp'es ^ ing the dor 'p obligation of the several writers for Mrs . Do- 'o ' s mother ' y care , and conveying the hope she may be successful in th )

new sphere she is about to embark on . Another feature in connection with this severance of " ohl assooi-itions ;" Mr . and Mrs . Dove were recently prei-onted with a hardsome salver . We copy the inscri p tion upon this souveuir , which inscri p tion speaks for itself : —

R . M . T . T 5 . Presented to MR . AND MRS . DOVE , On their resignation , by the Household Servants . July 18 SD .

Appended wore the signatures of those who contributed to tho Testimonial in question .

A handsome Masonic Hall was opened at Sittingbonrno on Tuesday , 'J 5 t . fi ult , by tho Earl of Amherst , Gian I Provincial Master of Kent , who was accompanied by tho Provincial Oflicerp .

The Annual Meeting of the Provincial Grand Chapter of Middlesex will be held , this day (^ ahinbiy ) , at tho Greyhound Hotel , Hampton Court . Tuo Cempanons will assemble at threo p . m . precisely ,
