In an appendix the Board rejects the pur-
chase Of the Christy Cabinet, and says that
ono effort has on our part been lacking to rid
the association of this incubus without suffer-
ing pecuniary loss" and that "the Board felt
some disappointment in the failure to induce
Professor Christy TO take the cabinet and re-
turn the bonds of the association, as promised
by him in February"

REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE.
The committee appointed for the purpose of
devising plan to increase the attendance on
the quarterly meetings Of the Association re-
ported that, in their opinion, the cause of this
lack Of interest lay in the fact that no i'm
portant business was presented for considera-
tion, and proposed the following amendments
to the Constitution, to be discussed and acted
upon during the coming year:
l. Amend the Constitution so that por-
tion Of the officers may be elected at the quar-
teyly meetings or any one of them instead of
all at the annual meeting.
2. Amend 90 that the Librarian shall be
member of the Board of Directors (after his
election by them,) acting and voting with
them, and to be ex- officio its Secretary.
8. Amend 30 as to prohibit the Board Of
Directors from making purchases or creating
liabilities for matters foreign to their legiu
mate purposes of the Association unless au-
thorized so to do at regular or called meet
ing Of the Association.
4. Amend, admitting professional men and
mechanics to the privileges of active members.
5. Amend as above, adding tho restriction,
"sxcept holding Office"
8. Amend go as TO provide for the estab-
fishing and supporting by subscription, or
regular dues of department of science and
art, as part and parcel Of this Association, to
be under tho control of six Directors elected
for that purpose, two to be elected at each
quarterly meeting and to serve for one year.
7. Add to Bylaws, section 20, setting apart
two hours Of every day, or of certain days for
ladies to occupy the reading-room.
The committee favor the adoption of some
Of these changes, but oppose others, and have
submitted them with the hopo that profitable
discussion may be provoked, and such change
made as may prove beneficial to the Associa-
tion.

The whole number Of books in the Library
is 1888 volumes. The Board has purchased
only such current publications in the depart
ment of fiction and biography, as was neces-
sary to sustain the popular character of the
Library. In some instances, they have
bought ten to fifteen duplicates for the purpose
of gratifying the demand; and they regret
that this should absorb so much of the limited
means of the Association.
READING ROOM.
In this department the Board have re-
marked growing interest which has caused
liberal additions to be made to the supply of
periodicals. There are now recsived 90 daily

on short business trip to New York and will be

OBITUARY OF A NEwsPAPER.-The publica-
ton Of one of the oldest newspapers printed in
English language is about to be discontinued 1t
is announced that the interest in the London
Morning Chronicle was published some time since
by the proprietor of the Morning Post. The
Chronicle will be issued, until the lst of August
after that date it will cease to appear This intel
gence will not surprise any one who is acquaint-
ed with the extraordinary progress made by the
cheap press in Great Britain within the last few
years. One could wish, however. that the Morn
ing CHI 1onice had not been the first victim of
this aggressive spirit of progress. There are asso
Citations connected with that journal of no little
interest. It was in the Morning Chronicle that
Sir Philip Francis-or somebody else-under a
weli-preserved incognitc, gave to the world the
Junus Letters, the tame of which has not been
confined to those countries where the English
language is spoken. These letters appeared in
the Chronicle during the term of Office of its first
editor Woodfall, who introduced into his paper
the custom Of regularly reporting the debates in
Parliament new feature in English journalism
at the time. Woodfall was considered "a reck-
lessly brave person - for having given publicity
to the ideas of Junius Burke. Fox and Sheridan
Tom Moore, Campbell, Goldsmith, Byron and
Dickens may also be numbered in the brilliant
array of writers for the good old whig of the
Strand.-N. Y. Post.

AFFECTING SCESE-Remarknbe Recognition of
an Echumed Body" Not many years since,''
says Frazer's Magazine, '' certain miners working
far underground, came upon the body of poor
fellow who had perished in the sufocatng pit
forty years before. Some chemical agent to
which the body had been suhected-an agent
prepared in the laboratory of nature-had efec-
tuay arrested the progress of decay. They
brought it to the surface, and for while, til it
crumbled away through exposure TO the
phere, it lay there, the image of u fine, sturdy
young man. No convulsion had passed over the
face in death-the features tranquil; the
hair was black us jet No recognized the
face--a generation had grown up since the day
on which the miner went down bis shaft for the
last time. But tottering old woman who had
hurried from her cot on hearing the news, came
up and she knew again the face WEIGH through
ali these years she had never quite forgot. The
poor miner was to have been her husband the
day after that which he died. They we're
rough people, of course, who were looking on-a
liberal education and refined feeling are not
deemed essential to the man, whose work it is to
get up Goals, tin +; but there were no dry
eyes there when the grey-headed old pilgrim cast
herself upon the youthful corpse and poured out
to its deaf ear many words of endearment unused
for forty years 1t was touching contrast-the
so old the other young. They had both
been young these long years ago. But time had
gone on with the living and stood still with the
dead.
