Waldo Emerson, Herman Melville, Rev. Henry
Giles, 5. Teackle Wallis, John K. Thompson Rev.

sible for the managers of the Institution
to continue in doing so, unless they supported
and assisted by the community He closed his ad-
dress by pointing out the many advantages and
benefits to be derived from Institution of this
kind, and made a very touching appeal to those
present to lend their aid to the Institution by con-
tIibuting as largely as possible to the collection
about to be taken up.

few pertinent remarks, after which collection was
