the 9th inst with an unusually large
attendance Of members. The pres

being 5G deg, below zero, while it
had been SO deg. for many weeks,
and requesting several small boys
to get off the red-hot stove and al
low the heat t. radiate less obstruct-
edly through the hall. A pervading

warmth now prevailing, and the
candles all being lit, and the ques-
tion being what device or figure the
society should adopt for its new
coat Of arms, several members
jumped from their seats ana tried
to catch the presidents eye, which,
under the rules, is done by hopping
up and striking the feet three times
in the air, then turning somersault
once The Chair recognized mem
