I am happy to be enabled to send you copies of resolutions adopted by the Grand Lodge of the State of Vermont , at its last communication , held in Burlington on the 9 th and 10 th instant . They are as follows : — " That the Grand Lodge of Vermont cordially extends to the Grand Lodge of Canada the right hand of fellowship , and recognises it as an independent Grand Lodge , entitled to all the courtesies and fraternal regards due to the most favoured . Grand Lodges .
¦ " Resolved , that this Grand Lodge will receive a delegate from the Grand Lodge of Canada , and that the Grand Master be , and he is hereby authorized , to appoint some suitable Brother delegate to attend the communication of the Grand Lodge of Canada . " I have also learned that Iowa and Virginia have in their respective Grand
Lodges passed similar resolutions ; and I confidently expect that ere this the Grand Lodge of England , awakening from her apathy , and admitting her neglect , has from honourable feelings of justice pursued a like course . In so doing she will at the least retain the esteem and affection of those who have left her only from a sense of right and justice .
In conclusion , let me observe , that to you , sir , for the manly step you have taken in their behalf in your opening article in the December number , the Craft here are deeply indebted , and I doubt not but that an increased number of subscribers from Canada will prove how fully they appreciate your action . With best respects , believe me , dear Sir and Brother , Yours fraternally , Montreal , Jan . 21 st , 1855 . Vidi .
Masonic Generosity , —In the year 1748 , M . Pseverot , a gentleman in the navy , and brother of the celebrated Doctor of Medicine in the faculty at Paris , was unfortunately shipwrecked on an island whose Viceroy was a Freemason . Along with his ship M . Pseverot had lost all his money and effects . In this destitute condition he presented himself to the Viceroy , and related his misfortune in a manner which completely removed all suspicion of his being an impostor . The
Viceroy made the Masonic signs , which being instantly returned by the Frenchman , they recognised and embraced each other as Brethren of the same Order . M . Pseverot was conducted to the house of the Viceroy , who furnished him with all the comforts of life , till a ship bound for France touched at the island . Before his departure in this vessel , the Viceroy loaded him with presents , and gave him as much money as was necessary for carrying him to his native country . —Architecture of the Middle Ages , by J .
