the number recorded last year. The finances
of the destitute appear 10 be managed most
judiciously. The Annual Address OF tho re-
firing President, (Mr. j. Il. Adams was very

gestions in regard to the greater efficiency Of

pirate address, congratulating the members on
the present prosperous condition OF their ASSOC
