Templar , and his loss in that office will be most severely felt . Bro . Emly ' s attainments in every Degree of our Order were of the highest rank , and every duty he undertook was performed most admirably .

BRO . JOHN FOWLER , D . G . SEC . OF IBELAND . We have already recorded the death of John Fowler , Esq ., one of the oldest , most respected , and most erudite members of the Masonic Fraternity in Ireland . Bro . Fowler had attained to the patriarchal age of 87 years , during 64 years of which he was a member of the Craft , having been initiated in Lodge No . 620 , known as' " The First Volunteer Lodge of Ireland , " in the year 1792 , and without intermission continued his zealous and useful aid on all occasions when his Brethren
found it necessary to draw upon his well-stored mind for advice and counsel under the pressure of any emergeney . That Bro . Fowler ' s deep research into ancient Masonic lore , his clear and lucid mode of imparting to his Brethren the information thus obtained , and his unremitting care and attention to the Order at all times , were highly appreciated , needs no further proof than will be furnished by the unprecedented attendance of the Brethren who , on the 29 th of January , assembled around his , the grave of departed worth , each anxious to testify his
personal regard for the man and the Mason , whose blameless life as the one , and whose intelligent and active discharge of his duties as the other , had drawn around him closely the hearts of alibis Brethren . On the solemn occasion of his interment there was an array of Brethren in which every grade of the Order , from the first to the last , seemed to vie each with the other which should be most conspicuous in paying the last sad tribute to his memory . The service was performed by the Grand Chaplain of the Order . An appropriate and impressive address was delivered within the chapel by Bro . the Rev . R . Wall , D . D ., the burial service
being performed by Bro . the Bev . Henry Westby ; the Deputy Grand Master , at the appropriate moment of committing the body to the grave , reading aloud the scroll inscribed with the style , title , and Masonic dignities of the deceased Brother , which , when read , was dropped into the grave , according to ancient usage ; and as the moment approached which was to hide for ever from mortal eyes all that was mortal of their departed and deceased Brother , is it too much to say that not a heart around that grave but throbbed with feelings of Fraternal sorrow , that each had lost a friend whose counsel and advice he had been accustomed to receive
—that within the precincts of the timedionoured Masonic temple a great light had been extinguished .
BRO . SIR WM . MOLESWORTH . A correspondent writes : — " As under this head I do not see mention of a distinguished Brother , I beg to state that the late Right Hon . Sir Wm .
