well feel proud OF the honor which. will be done

ually increased until the end OF tho month, when
there were sixty y-four names. For ssme winter
months / am unable, he says. to present q
favorable report, the average attendance being
very small. This was partly owing to
lack Of Accommodations, thongh since our
removal to our new quarters the attendance
has been good. The statement OF the libra
