PRESBYTERIAN CEMETERY.

A preliminary meeting of persons interested in planting and otherwise improving the Presbyterian Cemetery, was held vestercbiy afternoon at the office of Mr Alexander, solicitor, Wyndham Chambers. It had been convened by circular, issued to thirty or forty persons considered likely to take a part in such a movement. Rev. Mr. Bruce was voted to tbe chair, and explained the circum stances of the Cemetery, and what efforts had been previously made with the same object in view. He called on Mr G. M. Reed to state the business of the present meeting. Mr Reed explained that having heard a general expression of regret among Presbyterians at the neglected condition of the Cemetery, and a strong desire expressed that something should be done in the matter, he bad taken upon himself to issue circulars invitiDg a preliminary meeting on the subject Those present then entered into a conventional discussion of the business, unanimously commending tbe object.contem plated. Mr. T Macky. as one of the trus tees, having stated the position of the trdst, and exp'ained that the Crown grant of the land had never been taken out, it wa« resolved, on the motion of Mr. Sibbin, that he be instructed to obtain the title at the cost of the first proceeds of the present movement. After considerable discussion it was moved by Mr. Reed, seconded by Mr. Winks, and resolved, "That in the opinion of this meeting the sum of one hundred pounds at least, should be forthwith raised by subscrip'ion, towards tbe improvement of tbe Presbyterian Cemetery, and that Mr. Anderson be requested to prepare a plan for its judicious expenditure" It was gpnerallv regarded as judicious that for the fulnre there should be a small cemetery fee chaiged for interments so as to provide for keep ng the grounds when once put in order. On the motion of Mr. Peacocke, seconded by Mr. W. Baftray, it was resolved "That a com mittee consisting of tbe trustees of the ground, the ministers, with Messrs T. Macky, J. Winks, W. Rattrav, G. Sibbin, A. Brock, J Alexander, G. M. Reed and the mover be formed, with power to add to their number, to carry out Ihe objects of the first resolution, and that Mr. Alexander act as Secretary and Treasurer to such committee — On the motion of Pev Mr Macnicol seconded by Mr. Brock, it was also resolved " That a sub-committee, consisting of Messrs. Peed, Peacocke, Macky and the Secretary be appointed to prepare a list of persons to be called on for subscriptions, and to wait on Mr. Anderson " It was also arranged that an address to Presbyterians on tbe subject should be pre pared and distributed in the pews of the various Presbyterian churches on Sunday next. A subscription list was then opened and liberally subscribed by everyone present, and confidence was generally expressed that a cordial and cheerful response would be given by every Presbyterian in tbe dis trict. The meeting then adjourned for a week.

Serious Accident.

We learn that a serious accident occurred a day' or two ago to .Captain Johnson, late of the Magellan Cloud. When in the act of descending the stairs of his lodgings, he fell, and alighted with some violence on his head. He was so much injured that it was deemed advisable by his friends to have him taken to tbe hospital. Since his admission he has shown no signs of improvement, and yesterday, we regret to say, he had become so weak that a collapse seemed imminent. Under the circumstances the injured man, who has continued per fectly sensible, was advised to make any arrangements he might wish to before his death. Captain Johnson is a Mason, and having no near relatives in Auckland sent for one of the officers of that body to receive his inntructions relative to his property. These have been imparted, and according to last accounts he was sinking fast. Captain Johnson joined the Magellan Cloud at Lyttelton on her last voyage to the Chatham Islands, from whence he brought her on to Auckland.

TROUBLES OF AN EDITOR

FROM TO-DAY'S COROMANDEL MAIL. Evkrything since we took charge of the Mail had gone smooth with us up to the afternoon of Saturday. Since our earliest career in journalism we had never experienced such an uninterrupted week of peace, goodwill, and quietude. We had just come to concluding that Coromandel was a Heaven-born place for journalism, when all our surmisings and concludings were dispelled by a knock at the office door, and with the opening of the door, which immediately followed the knock. There was no waiting for the words "come in." A big man with an arm and a fist which would have become a prize fighter —one of the heavy weights—laid down a letter addressed to the Editor, and said he thought that would put the "come hither" on him. We opened the letter, and found besides a very large amount of bad spelling, a still larger amount of libellous matter. The writer charged a man whose name both baptismal and patronymic he gave in full, with stealing a shovel, and with having come away from another colony (also mentioned) with another man's wife. We told the writer of the letter that if the man had stolen his shovel he should hand him over to the custody of the police; and the man said he would have done bo only he could'nt quite prove it; but he could prove all about the man * running away with another man's wife. We said that would be a hard matter, because it was not at all unlikely that the woman instead of being run away with, had herself run away with some body else's husband. The thing had been done before, and might possibly be done again. Then the man wished to know whether we would insert his letter, and' we politely told him we

would not. He thought for a moment or two, and said if he put h<s real name to the letter would we print it. To this we said we would not Then he commenced calling us names. He began gently at first with comparatively mild terms of contempt. Gradually he warmed up and ascended the scale of invective. He employed expressions which only a strong memory could have borne in mind. From warm he got hot, and went on until he got into a white heat of indignation. He would mark us ; he would let us kDow what he could do when we went on to the hills. We wouldn't, he supposed, print the name of a man who had stole a shovel because it was very likely we had been convicted of robbing a hank oursdves. And the man went out without smashing the windows or breaking bones. This is our present experience. Jt is only fair to the man to say that he was very drunk,'but not incapable, lie could have doubled us up if he had liked and he didn't.

MASONIC INSTALLATION.

The very interesting ana imposing ceremony of installing Bro. William McOnllougu iuto the office of Deputy Provincial Grand Mas ter of New Zealand under the Scottish Constitution took place last evening in the Lodge room, Ma-onir Hotel. At 730 p.m., Lodge St. Andrew 41S S.C. was opened in the 3rd Degree by Bro M. Niccol, K.W.M. The Provincial tirand Lodge, JO, was then announced and received in due form and the P.G. I- (•ificers took the ,place of the Craft Officers ai d opened the PG Lodge in ample form. Bro. McCullough was then presented to the PGM. of New Zealand IC, Bro. G. P. Pierce, for installation, Bro. Pierce having been requested by the P.G.M., S.C,, who is resident in (Dunedin, to do so. The D.R.G.M elect was presented by Past Masters Hay, Dewar, Anderson and Niccol, the last named of whom made a few appropriate remarks. Bro. McCollou^h was then invested and installed. Bro Pierce conducting the ceremony in the most impressive manner, and ably assisted by the V.W.P.G. Chaplain, Dr. Kidd, and Bro. Rev. D. Buce, Chaplain, of St. Andrews. The- D P.G M, having been placed to the right of the P.G. M. and saluted with grand honors. Dr Kidd then delivered a very able and instructive address which was listened to with pleasure by tbe brethren, many expressing the detire that the oration mitjht be printed. Bro. McCullough having briefly thanked the brethren, ihe P.G Lod^e was closed, the officers of i odgc St. Andrew resumed their chairs and closed. The Brethren afterwards sat down, to the number of about fifty, to an excellent supper provided by Host Avey at which Bro. fticcOl, R.W.M., of St Andrew, presided, supported on the right by Bro. G. P. Pierce, P.G M., of New Zealand, 1.C., and ontheleftof Bro. McCullough, D.P.GM., of New Zealand, S.C, when the following list of toasts were gone through. 1. " Queen and Craft," by Chairman. 2. "Tbe Three Grand Lodges,'' by Chairman, responded to by Pastmasters Hayward, Rees and Anderson. 3. "The P.G.M. of >ew Zealand, 1.C," proposed by Past Master Hay. 4. "TheD.P G.M. of New Zealand, I.C ," proposed by Bro.G. P. Pierce. 5. " Visiting Brethren," proposed by Bro' Walker, responded to by Bro Dewar, P.M. 6. " Poor and Distressed Brethren," pro posed by Bro. Rawdon. 7. "Bro. Niccol, B.W.M. of -t Andrew," proposed by P.M. Bro. Doull. 8. "Host and Hostess," pro posed by.Bro. McCullough, D P.G.M. The brethren separated at half-past 11, after spending a most enjoyable evening, the gathering having been the largest that has been known for many years. The lodge-room was inconveniently crowded, and many oblige* to go away, not being able to find room. This, as was re marked by several speakers, shows the urgent necessity of a Masonic Hall in Auckland, and we trust the brethren composing the directory of the company recently formed for this pur pose will not relax their efforts till they have effected their object. A considerable number of the Bhares have been applied for, but a number are still open for application, &c.
