It is safe to say that no body of Freemasons in the Province have a. prettier lodge room in which to hold their meetings than the brethren of Richmond Lodge. The stairway, the ante-room, the prepara- tion room and the. lodge. rooui proper have all been reâ€"painted and papered, and present a very handsome appearâ€" ance. The sides of the main room are. covered with blue ingrain paper, above this is a wide border paper, next is a. fancy paper covering the cove, then comes a. narrower border, and the ceiling is papered with a. sky blue paper, dotted with gilt star‘s. Tire chandelier has been bronzed, the officers’ chairs are being upholstered, and everything in the interior is made to correspond. The rooms are certain- ly very fine, and the Work reflects much credit on Mr. \V. Hewison who did the job. BROUGHT HERE FOR INTER- MENT. It is with regret we have to record the. death of Miss Isabella Dickson, third daughter of the late Geo. P. Dickson, Esq., of the Inland Revenue Dept., Toronto. Miss Dickson was a native of Richmond Hill, and when quite young removed with the family to Toronto. She was a person of most admirable qualities, always going heart and soul into any good work she would undertake. She. was an active member of the. Presbyterian body, and taught for years a class of C‘hinamen in the Sunday School of that denom- ination. The poor will miss in hera kind and energetic friend, and the loss to mother and sister, with whom she lived. is irreparable. The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon at four o’clock to the Richmond Hill burying ground on arrival of private car bearing the remains and friends of deceased. Among those who accompanied the remains from Toronto were Messrs. Charles Dickson of Kingston -, “'illiarn of Toronto ; Mr. F. Roberts, brothers . and brother-in-law of deceased: also Rev. Mr. Neil, pastor of the “7est~ minster-Church, Bloor St., of which Miss Dickson was a member, and three Chinamen, who wished to Show their love and respect to their late teacher. ‘ admitted free ; spectators 10 cents; ‘ Skaters not in costume, 15 cents.

There wa< some sharp firing. the Boer fol'liiir‘aliolis‘ were stunned. and the enemy were finally driven from their strongholds. Scores of rockets were fired oil“. and for a time the rink was full of smoke. Members of the village band gave a good programme of music, which added much to the enjoyment of skating. The proceeds amounted to about $30. which might have been much increased had the carnival been better advertised, and arrangements made for a. car to leave at the close, of the rink. The ice was in good cori- dition, and every skater seemed to en-~ joy the pleasurable exercise. 51‘ ET) A T‘W Po DrcnsoNâ€"At hor- niotlier's l‘eSltle‘Il"8 '25 Park Road, 'l‘uroutO, on Sunday, Foln-uarv 1i, Isabella. .l.
