Correction. In our account last week of the accident which happened to Mr. Theodore Homan's child, we stated that no one was in the room at the time it occurred. This was a mistake. The family were all present.
Accident. A young lad, about fourteen years of age, named Henry Geary, the son of a widow, residing in Penn street, was killed on Sunday afternoon last, by the accidental discharge of a gun. The accident occurred on the road leading to the Mineral Spring, about two hundred yards from the turnpike and the boy was discovered by several persons who were returning to the city, in the evening. Young Geary had been in company with some other boys of his own age who were amusing themselves with the gun, and while in his hands, it was unexpectedly discharged. The load entered the right cheek, near the eye, portions passing out on the opposite side of the head. When found, he was still breathing, but he died soon after being carried home.
Masonic Lodge in Womelsdorf. On Wednesday last, a new Lodge of Ancient York Masons was opened in due form in the borough of Womelsdorf, in this county, by the Right Worshipful Officers of the Grand Lodge of this State, under the name of "Williamson Lodge, No. 807." The proceedings were of a most interesting and imposing character. The Right Worshipful Grand Master, Peter Williamson, Esq., after whom the lodge is named, conducted the ceremonies in person, assisted by Mayor Vaux, Col. Page, and other dignitaries of the Order in Philadelphia and some twenty or thirty brethren of the Craft from this city. The following gentlemen, previously elected, were installed as officers of the new Lodge, viz:
Worshipful Master -- John Stephen M.D.
Senior Warden -- H. Penn Smith
Junior Warden -- John M. Shonour
Treasurer -- William Moore, M.D.
Secretary -- Thomas S. Searle.
The organization took place in the Odd Fellows' Hall, at Womelsdorf. This is the first Lodge of Masons organized in Berks county, outside of Reading. It starts under very promising auspices and bids fair to become one of the most flourishing institutions of the kind in the rural districts of the State.
Masonic Visitation. The Right Worship Officers of the Grand Lodge of Masons, of this State, made a formal visitation to Reading and Chandler Lodge, of this city, at their Hall, in the fourth story of Barto's Keystone House, on Tuesday evening last. The ceremonies were of an interesting and imposing character. The Grand Master, Peter Williamson, Esq., Hon. Richard Vaux, Col. Page, with other officers of the Grand Lodge were present on the occasion. Immediately after the adjournment, the visitors were escorted to the residence of Dr. Frank M. Hiester, where they were entertained with old fashioned Reading hospitality. The Mayors of Philadelphia and Reading hob-nobbed together, and a "good time" generally was had by all who had the pleasure of participating in this agreeable reunion of the brothers of the craft.
