are not without hope that on ample reconsideration , there may be an equitable adjustment of the unseemly differences . Death of an Irish Freemason in America . —The following appears in the "New Orleans Picayune" of the 3 rd August , with a request appended to it that it may be copied into tbe Liverpool ancl Dublin papers : " Obituary . —Departed this life suddenly , on the 30 th July , Mr . AVm .
Nott , of Dublin , Ireland , aged between 28 and 30 years . The deceased emigrated to the United States in December last , and landed in this city , during which period he formed a few acquaintances who appreciated him ; he was a young gentleman possessed of fine
accomplishments , his habits were an example—he was esteemed and loved by the few who knew him . The deceased was formerly a merchant in the city of Dublin ( a partner of the house of Nott and Son ) , which house stood as fair as any in the kingdom of Great Britain . Mr . Nott was a distinguished member ofthe masonic fraternity , and was Master of Dublin Lodge No . 2 , ofthe city of Dublin ; the fraternity respected and appreciated him . Misfortune frowned on him in his commercial business , which caused him to leave his home and try to reinstate his former
circumstances , but alas he was called from this troublesome world , and has left an aged and disconsolate mother and brother and sisters to lament the loss of an affectionate son and brother ; but as it has pleased the Great Architect of the Universe to call him , we trust his mother , brother and sisters will be consoled by a full conviction that in a strange land he found friends , particularly among his masonic brethren . We
may truly boast of worthy members belonging to that great institution and family of brothers which has existed for 5849 years , and which in all probability will continue to be cemented together for time immemorial . Our worthy and generous fellow-citizen , Lucien Herman , Grand Master of the Lodges working under the charter of the Grand Lodge of Louisiana , was called upon , and the unfortunate circumstances of a deceased and stranger brother made known , which required the immediate attention of the brethren . That worthy and truly good
Mason immediately requested that the unfortunate brother should have the requisite attention paid him , to have his remains . decently interred ; and well might the Order in this city feel proud to acknowledge the Master of Mount Moriah Lodge ; as a brother he immediately appeared without a summons to the brother who had charge of the deceased , and offered any assistance that he could afford as a brother . Again— the masonic Order can boast of a truly good brother , who , when he , heard the lamentable situation of the deceased brother , offered his assistance .
AVell might the Order boast of Bros . Herman , Frymier and Judge Collins as members of that sacred institution . Our masonic fraternity abroad , and particularly Dublin , should know that their late brother found brothers in America , and in the place of his demise that they did not forget their duties towards a brother in a strange land , their obligations were strictly enforced . It is to be hoped that the aged mother , brother , sisters , and friends of the deceased will console themselves that every attention was given , and he departed from this world truly under the belief as he lived that the Great Architect of the Universe would receive him . May his soul be for ever by the chosen lamp and rest in peace . —M . M . "
