» = wre — cag err - EE eee en Masovic.—A stated communication of the Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia was held last evening at~Masonic Hall, when the following officers were installed in duo and ample form: C 8S. Frailey, M. WY Grand Master ; Jos. W. Nairn, R. W. Deputy Grand Master; G. Powell, R. W. Senior Grand War- den ; Mr. Gosler, R. W. Junior Grand W: den; George C. Whiting, R. W. Grand Secre- tary; and C. Cammack, R. W. Grand Trea- surer. After the initallation coremonies, a beautiful banner was presented to the Grand Leige by R. W. Bro. C. Cammack, in behalf of Federal Lodge, No.1, Potomac Lodge, No 5, St. John’s No. 11, and a number of brethren. The banner is of double royal pur- ple silk, with s view of the Capitol, as it will appear when finished, and the four cardinal virtues, (Temperance, Fortitude, Prudence, and Justice,) on one side; on the reverse is the full coat-of-arms of Free-Masonry. It was painted in New York by A. P. Moriarty, and is worthy of the lodge over which it will float. The elegant presentation address of R. W. Bro. =. was replied to in an a prepriate manner by M. W. Bro. B. B. French, who, at the request of the Grand Master, re- ceived the banner in behalf of the Grand Lodge, and _ returned thanks with his wonted oratorical ability. “Tae Scnoo. ror Scanpau.”—The ar- os for producing this great comedy at the National Theatre on next Monday evening are all completed, and Mr. Henry C.

Surreusm Court.—Yesterday, J. K. Sharp- stein, Esq., of Wisconsin, was admitted to practice as an attorney and counsellor in this court. The decree of the supreme court of Ohio in the case of William D. Price and others vs. the Farmers’ Bank of Virginia was affirmed, with costs. The argument in the case of Jecker, Torre & Co., and others, appellants, vs. John B Montgomery, was resumed for the appellee by | hand is quite large, which has caused the Hon.
