when remarking upon the proceedings of this Lodge under the presidency of the same brother , we pointed to the excellent qualities that he then displayed , and stated that if properly directed , thoy could nofc fail to develop into efficiency j at the same time , continual and close practice was recommended . This advice must surely have been , followed ; for although to bo strictly truthful , it must be said , that his work still lacks the smoothness and

polish of the raasterly hand , still the improvement ; was very marked and perceptible . An apt pupil of this kind must be most encouraging to the instructor under whose tuition Bro . Bush is progressing so favourably , aud calculated to stimulate hirn to continue his laudable exertions . The Lodge intends to continue its regular meetings throughout the summer months . On tie next occasion Bro . Biddle will preside , and he intends again to rehearse the ceremonies of the first aud second degrees .
