Masonic And General Tidings.

The St . Michael ' s Lodge of Instruction , No . 211 , meets every Thursday evening , at eight o ' clock , at Bro . Kent ' s , Moorgate Station Restaurant . Bro . Edward Terry took his annual benefit at the Gaiety Theatre on Friday evening last , when the programme consisted of" Sweethearts and Wives , " " Kerry , " an original adc ' nss written for the occasion by Mr . Burnand , and the burlesque " Robbing Roy . "

We regret to learn that Col . Peard , D . P . G . M . of Cornwall , and Provincial Prior of Knights Templar , had an attack of paralysis at his house , Trcnython , on Monday last . The gallant old soldier , so well-known as " Garibaldi's Englishman , " lies in a precarious and speechless condition , but in spite of his advanced years it is hoped he may recover .

For tbe better and more costly kind of Masonic Jewels a great saving can be made by getting them direct from the manufactory . Messrs . J . B . Williams and Son made the most costly badge in the kingdom for the Mayor of Liverpool , and many others , and many of the sheriff . ' badges and chains . The firm are now supplying the nobility and gentry ( direct ) at the same prices as they

have for forty years served thc best houses in London and the country , and co-operative stores . Messrs . J . R . Williams and Son have always been celebrated for specially fine diamond work and choice gem rings . The two advantages thus offered to tbe public arc far superior quality and an immense saving in price . Manufactory and

warehouse , 108 , Hatlon-garden , E . C . The usual saving is 20 to 60 per cent . Bridesmaids' lockets and all kinds of jewellery for wedding presents . Dealers in diamonds , pearls , anil coloured gems , loose or mounted . Elegant designs furnished ( gratis ) for re-mounting diamond work . Catalogues sent post free on application . —[ ADVT . ]

HOLLOWAY ' S PILLS—The changes of tcniperiture ami weather frequently upset persons who are most camions of their health , and most particular in their die ' s . Vhese corrective , purifying , and gentle aperient Pill * are the best remedy for all defective actions of the digestive organs ; thev augment the appetite , strengthen tne slomach , correct biliousness , and carry off all that is noxious from Ihe > ystem . Ilolloway's l'ids are composed of rare balsams , unmixed with baser matter , anil on that account are peculiarly well adapted for the youmt , delicate , and aged . As tnis peerless medicine has gained ' fame in the p ; tst , f-n will it preserve it in the future by its renovating aud invigorating ( jualilies , and its incapacity of doing harm . —[ ADVT . ]
