Round And About.

Tt may interest many of my readers to know that the " Eminent Mason at Home" in our issue for October will be Bro . Edward Terry , the Grand Treasurer , at Prioiy Lodge . The portrait accompanying the paper is an excellent reproduction . * * *

I am going to ease the mainspring of my heart with a little oil of " pure conceit . " When the destruction by fire of several theatres , and the loss of a great number of lives , had thrown the play-going public into an interesting condition of excitement , it was my lot to write for a certain weekly newspaper a series of articles upon

the construction and decoration of the London houses ; and I am pleased to say , for the welfare and comfort of theatre-goers , my suggestions were promptly acted upon by a great number of theatrical proprietors . When I came to visit Drury-lane I was much impressed with the great opportunity the fine hall and

staircase presented for a grand scheme of color decoration , although Bro . Harris assured me the whole house had but recently been " done up . " However , time worketh great marvels , for I am invited to an " At Home " at Drury-lane Theatre , " to inspect the elaborate decorations which have been in active progress during the past two months .

* * SEPTEMBER THE SEVENTH . A little churchyard near a stream , Where Memory sits awhile to dream Of days that hide themselves in tears ,

Though mellowed down through distant years Of sadness ! A little cross of marble white , — A name , a date , some flowers bright ; A gravel path , a grassy patch ,

A church of brick with roof of thatch , — Ail sorrow ! # # * # A sad regret , a world of pain , But he will meet her once again

In broader halls , in greener fields , Where Memory to her victim yields—Her gladness ! THE DKUID .

On Monday , the 5 th ult ., the remains of Bro . Charles Sykes Sunderland , solicitor , were interred at the cemetery , Brighcuse . He was a member of the firm of Messrs . Craven & Sunderland , Huddersfield and Brighouse . Among Freemasons he was generally respected , and at the time of his death held the office of P . G . R . A large number of the members of the Order were present , and

wreaths were sent from several Lodges in his province , the Southowram School Board ( for which he had officiated as clerk since its commencement ) , and the Conservative Club , of which he was an active member . Many well-known gentlemen in the district were present . The Huddersfield Incorporated Law Society , the

Huddersfield Building Society , the Huddersfield Lodges ( three ) , the Albert Edward , and Kirkburton Lodges were also represented . Mrs . Sunderland was able to be present , but did not leave the carriage . At a meeting of the members of the Huddersfield Incorporated Law Society , Mr . W . Armitage in the chair , the

following resolution has been , on the motion of the President ( Mr . Armitage ) , seconded by Mr . Mills , unanimously passed : — " That the members of the Society have heard with the greatest regret of the death of Mr . Charles S . Sunderland , and desire to convey to the relatives of the deceased gentleman their deep

sympathy with them in their sad bereavement , and to express their sense of the loss the profession has sustained in the death of one whose dealing with his professional brethren was marked by courtesy and uprightness . "
