liant lectures by Lieut. Maury, which, although Of
u scientific character, eliciled the utmost enthuSl
asm, aud drew oyerfowing houses. In addition to
the regular course three extra lectures were dey
cred by Geo VandenhOh, Rev. j. O. Fletcher and
Rev Il IL. Chaplin, The attendance at the lectures
this season has been unusually large resulting Ia
uett profit Of over $500, being 1t il believed lar
ger amount than was ever realized by any preced
ing course.
The Committee have experienced great dinicuh
ly from the want Of a suitably capaclous Hall TO
accommodate the large audiences that have been
showed by a majority OF the lectures Had the
Committee been able to secure a sufficiently eom'
modlous Hall, the profits would probably have
been double the amount realized

Board that the interest Of the Association required
the payment of the old debts before any great eX-
penditures was made for any other purpose.
