Among lta other attractions members of the cralt aro proud to refer to Suffolk Lodge, No. GO, F. anil A. M. , as the oldest lodge In tnli Masonic district. Its history Is an Interesting one, and has to do n 1th tho period when ti was sought to make membership In the order a reproach. When a warrant for tho establishment of this lodgo was askmi for, late lu the last ceutury. Chancellor Robert K. Livingston held the poeltlon of Most Worthy drand Master. Tne warrant waa Issued, anil tho lodgo was regularly established on March V, 1707, Among the oral officers Moses Blacbley iippe'ra as M, ., Ittohard Fiord as B. W. and John Floyd as J. W. Cosy meeting-rooms and rich paraphernalia were not In t'loio daya the rule, and fixed places of meeting Beemed to be un- usual, lor from the tihito- Cv&. ry of tho lodge, compiled M?ms'$ with great care by l'ast W J Master Thomas H. riaxton.

For a time meetings were held In Setaukct at the boose of Isaac Sat-terly, then they wero held in Jeffrey A. Wood-bull's bouse at Iluntliulon, and In 1808 the lodge-room was In Thomas Hallock's house In Pmitb-to. The frequent changes ot raeetlng.place aeem to have been nude to acoommodate the members, who oame from a wide territory. In lS'.B the lodge-room was moved to the historic old bouse In betanket, owned at the time by Isaac Jayne. Toe old bnuse sttll standa near the pond, an t la said to bear the marcs of numerous British bullets. In this houo the meetings were beld until the crusade against the order, which became unite general In ItPB and 1820, forced the surrender of tbo charter.

In thoso daya of cheaper and better spirituous liquors their consumption wss more general than In these aays of hlgn.priied poor rum aud temperance crusades, but even then somo restriction as to tbclr use seems to have been necessary.

Ho lived nt Crane Neck during the troublesome times In lHlii on au eminence overlooking the pleasint spot where Hon. Frank Splnola now males his home. Ono day a British sloop-of-war anchored off me Neck and flaunted her flag before tne eyes of the Captain. Ho dragged a cluimy old cannon from bla home to the bluff, and, alter loading It with solid shot, turned It carefully on the menacing craft and nred. v hen the amoke cieai ed away the sailors were harrying to get up anchor and away. The shot hail disturbed ibelr fancied security, and had severed the shrouds and brought the mainsail down about the heads ot thoBO on deck. Tho chartor members of the reorganized lodge were Charles A. Floyd, John N. Williamson, Hon. John It. Satlerly, Cart. 1 utile Dayton, Capt, Caleb Klnner, Chirles W.

The first meeting was held In Buwassclt Hall, over Norton's drug store, on Fob. 2fl. lain, tne room being then occupied as a lodge-room by the Odd Fellows, which lodgo bai sluco ceased to exist In fort Jefferson.

There was for a number of )ears a lodge ol Odd Fellows lu the place, but It seenrn to have gone out of existence. There la an active order of flood Templars here, and a ory eincUnt wing of the l'rohibltlon party, probably the moat uctlve branch of the party In the county of Suffolk. They have already swung their bauner to the breeze, anil In this respoct aro ahead of both the old purtlea iu this place. In the matter of churches Tort Jefferson Is not deficient. Methodist, l'resuyteriau and Baptist cburcbes have long been established here, and recently a handsome new Kplscopal ohurch has been erect od on the One 1. T. Barnum property overlooking the bay. For years tbo l'ort Jefferson public school was the pride aud boast or the people of the place. A. (1. Merwln, who la now a successful teacher In a Brooklyn publlo school, waa the first principal In the new school-house. It waa under his charge that tho school was built up to a high standard. He was followed by A. M. Drummond, who was a disciplinarian and a scholar. The school has lost none of lta rank. Later principals hnve maintained the grade ot lh- school. Among those ho bavo swaved the sceptre are A. c. Almy, now nt the Hempstead school; W. I. Noxon and A. (1. ltogers. The present principal uHI. Bennett Miss Harriet I. Brown, formerly an assistant teacher In the publlo school at this place, baa been tor several years a very successful teacher In the Santte ludlau Agency, in Nebraska, where she la conducting a very successful Indlau school. Mlaa Kdua lerry, a graduate ot the public school here, Is now a missionary and practising phvsKlan In China. Uev. N. B. Thompson, of considerable reputation In New York City as a liberal lljpilst, is l'ort Jefferson man, and Iter, llenrv Still, of llio Mcthudlst Church, la also from this place. Hcv. James S. Kvns, who waa the first pastor of the ITesbyterlan Church In l'ort Jefferson, was a man of great culture, and Is referred to liv bis old parishioners with great respect. He conducted a select school In tho village for a long time. He ended liH days nt the resideuee of hla aon-lu.law, Capt. llenjairln Jones, in East Setaukct. A tlrand Army post has receutly been organlrcd here and la known as Lewis O. Clsrk Boat. Abram Bentley Is tho commander, l'ort Jefferson contributed Its quota to awell the ranka of those at tho front during the war. Among the first to enlist was Csut. W. W. Saxton, who left home with Durvea'a Zouaves. Dr. Allied Wilson was one of the promising young men from the place who volunteered his proteasionsl services to relieve the sufferings of his comtsdes In tho tierce siruegle. lie served wlta distinction, and a'ter the war had ended re- ' crtved a commission aa a surgeon In the regular j army and went West and died in a fort In Arizona. I His remains were forwarded to l'ort Jefferson and . reat In Cedar Hill Cemetery. i This cemetery is one of the beautiful features of Fort Jefferson.

To say that Port Jefferson is a beautiful town - sixty miles from Brooklyn, on the Long Island Sound at the terminus of the Port Jefferson branch of the Long Island Railroad - would be simply to repeat the information which is volunteered in every railroad guidebook and gazetter which takes cognizance of the place and would leave the searcher after information as thoroughly in the fog as ever.

... Dr. ... Samuel Fayette Norton and Captain William Oldrin. The latter gentleman is the subject of an anecdote which illustrates his patriotism. He lived in Crane Neck during the troublesome times in 1812 on an eminence overlooking the pleasant spot where Honorable Francis Barretto Spinola now makes his home. One day a British sloop-of-war anchored off the Neck and flaunted her flag before the eyes of the Captain. He dragged a clumsy old cannon from his home to the bluff, and, after loading it with solid shot, turned it carefully on the menacing craft and fired. When the smoke cleared away the sailors were harrying to get up anchor and away.

His remains were forwarded to Port Jefferson and rest in Cedar Hill Cemetery.
