C., to morrow night, is an event of considerable interest among the brethren of the mystic tie. The enterprise of building a hall there was projected a little more than one year ago by a few Masons residing there, and preparations re made to commence the work at once, which has culminated in the completion of @ large and commodious brick and granite hall located in the very heart of the village at a cost of about $10,000.” On the 12th day of Deve: ber, 1872, the Brightwood Hull association organized under the general incorporation act with Messrs. B. 1. nter, John H. Me- Chesney, B. M. Barker, Wm. W. Cowling and B. C. King as trustees. ' One hundred and sev- enty-tive shares of stock, of $100 each were issued, and is now held mostly by Masons and members of Stansbury Lodge, No. 24, F. A. A. M., a flourishing organization, which was chartered by the Grand Lodge early last spring, and among its members are many of the most enterprising business men of the county. The lodge has been named in honor of Grand Master Charles F. Stansbury, who, it is expected, will officiate at the dedication ceremonies, assisted by prominent members of the order of this andother Masonic jurisdictions At the conclusion of the ceremonies all will pre- parations have been made fora ballin honor of the occasion. Considerable Inbor has been expended to make this a grand affair, the ladies of Brightwood and this city having joined heartily in the work. The novelty of such an occasion in a suburban town will doubtless draw together a large assemblage. tis expected that there will be a lodge of Odd Fellows and one of Knights of Phythias or- ganized in this village, and that they a!so will Oceupy the hall - oe A WARNING To Parzgsts or Yorxe G OF late complaints have been made to Richards by several mothers of young giris that their daughters have been tempted from the path of virtue by unprincipled rakes, who in- duce them to frequent refreshment saloons and other places little better than brotheis. Yes- terday complaint was made by a widow, whose husband bas recently died, that her daughter, a beautifal young girl, sixteen years of age, bad been induced to leave home and had been absent several days. She stated that she had traced her to two of these restaurants where rooms for ladies are kept up stairs, also to & cigar shop, recently kept by a woman of bad repute, on ith s:reet, South Washington. it was lately broken up by the police, and the keeper removed the northern ’ portion ot the city. Further than this the dis- tressed mother could say nothing, only that er daughter had been teen on the streets at night in company with bad people. Detectives McDevitt, Miller, McElfresh ani Sargent started out last night in search, and after going the rounds of the places indicated, Messrs. Sargent and McElfresh came across another young girl, about the same age, whose mother had likewise been to police headquar- ters on the same errand, and took her to head- quarters. Not long afterwards Messrs. McDev- itt and Millercamé 2 with the first object of their search, whom they tound late last night ina ranch kept by anole woman named Jonn- son, who was also taken into custody. fhey were furnished with lodgings last night, and this morning the widow mother came to see her daughter, and set about making preparations for her removal to the House of the Good bony #0 herd, in Baltimore, for which place she left in the llo’clock train this morning. Later in the day Mr. McDevitt obtained @ permit from Father Kane, and accompanied tne other one to the same institution, where it is hoped both may be induced to reform and live useful lives. ——— Rear Estate Trawsrens.—Dorcas East- Wood etal. to A.J.

If anybody has ever used the thorough and scientific course of treatmert recommended by the proprietor of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy for the cure of Catarrh, and has not been per- tectly cured, the proprietor, Dr. KR. V. Pierce, would like to hear from that person, and by ad- dressing him, at the World’s Dispensary, But- falo, Y., such person, if there be one, will hear ot something to hisor her advantaze, as the Doctor is in carxest when he offers $5») re- ward for a case of Oatarrh which cannot perfectly able to pay it if he fails nasingle case, as any one may ascertain upon inquiry. The thorough course of treatment rererred to and recommended by Dr. Pierce consists in the use of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Kem- edy with Dr. Pierce's Nasal Douche, which is he only means by which the fiaid can be car- ried high up and applied to all partsof the nasal passages and the chambers connected therewith, in which ulcers exist, and from which the discharge proceeds. In addition to this thorough application of the Remedy,which should always be used warm, Dr. F ierce’s Gol- den Medical Discovery should be taken earnestly as constitutional treatment, withoat which tew cases can be cured, as the disease is always constitutional, and must be treated ac- cordingly. This treatment has no unpleasant features about it, and has the advantage of never driving the disease to the lungs, as there is danger of doing by the use of strong, irritat- ing snuffs or poisonous solntions.
