Notes from Meemc.

The Irish element of Meeme, celebrated
St. Patrick's Day in patriotic and becom-
ing manner. At o'clock, A. NJ, the
members of the Temperance Society,
dressed in the regulation suit Of the organ
izatiou, assembled at the school house OF
Dist. No. 3. Here they were formed in
marching array by James Peppard, officer
of the day; then to the hewitehing music
of "Patriek's Day." splendidly performed
by the Society band, they paraded in ex-
cellent style to st. Isidor's Church where
they attended divine service, after which,
they again formed in line and marched
hack to the place of rendezvous.
The meeting " hich followed was carried
out in accordance with programme previ-
ously adopted, and was decided success.
First came the election of officers. P.
j. Conway was chosen President; Martin
Shanahan, vioe-President; James Peppard.
Treasurer; William Mulho.land, Secretary;
Mathew Gallogly, Librarian, and Jere
Shanahan, Sargent-at-Arms All are gentle
men of the right mould, willing and able to
discharge their respective duties to the salts
faction of every one.
The report of the Treasurer showed more
than $500 collected during the year just
passed, the greater part Of which went to
purchase books for the Library in con-
nection with the Society. This Library is
in excellent condition, and can compare
favorably with any similar Institution in
the State. A considerable amount of
money is now in the hands Of the Treas
urer, which will be speedily invested in
other volumes.
After the report Of the Treasurer came
amendments to the constitution, several
important ones being adopted. Then a
temperance speech by Mr.. John Carey and
a lecture on "St. Patrick" by Edward
Eran, both of which were well rendered
and received with applause. Mr.. Carey
announced the important fact that each
member of the Society was faithful to his
pledge with but one solitary and insignih-
cant exception, and challenged the record
of any other temperance organization in
the Union for such favorable report. The
warnest adv,cat IF the cause, he said,
did not expect this glorious result--a re-
suit that must be admitted and extclled by
eyery lover of temperance and truth through
cut the land.
Appropriate remarks were also m,de by
P. j. Conway, Martin Clark and others,
, a song, ringing with the soul of music BY
. L. O'Grady; "Patr,cks Day and other soul
] stirring strains rendered By the band, and
i the large assemblsge dispersed to their re-
. spective homes well satisfied with the cele
5 bration of the day dedicated to lreland''
o patron saint, and calling unlimited bless
!. ings On the society which gave birth to th'
happy occasion.

In another column Of this issue may b
found the calls for City and Ward nomina
ting conventions for the coming ehartei
elections to be held in this city April 9th
1875.
We feel it our duty to impress the i'm
perstiYe necessity Of tax payers attending
primary meetings that good men only shall
be nominated for Aldermen IN the several
wards and also that the delegates sent
from the different wards to the City Con-
vention shall be men who have the good
government of our city ct heart.
There is bat two ways that this much
desired end can be accomplished. First,
that all tax payers attend the primary meet
iDgs for ward nominations aud tae elect
delegates to the City Convention. Second,
that the candidates be called out direct
from among the pepole, by petition, for
the several Offices to be filed at the coming
election. Those who pay their money can
take their choice. Our individual taxes
are comparatively small.

The Teachers Institute.

Persons who intend to become members of
the Institute which will be held here next
week, are requested to be at the place of en-
rollmcnt, on Monday morning at 9 o'clock.
To teachers who live at some distance from
this city and desire to become members,
suggest the advisabilIty Of coming here the
day before the session begins.
Any subject whose parts are so closely re-
lated that the elucidation of each sequent
principle is partially dependent on some
antscedeut statement or illustration, requii es
the regular attendance Of the class to whom it
is presented. The conditions which deter
mine pupils progress at school apply in all
essential respects TO members of an institute.
Irregular attendance implies unsymmetrical
outlines and inco upi.t; Knowledge Of the
topics treated.

TIE WxATHKR.-Every day We hear citi-

country towne discussing the probable effect
of the past unprecedented cold winter pom
the coming crop. We are told that Jack
Frost has penetrated the earth at least half
way to China; that the ice in our river at
Main street bridge is five feet thick (which
Yankee Geo n Woodin says is putty toIa-
bic thick ~ Thus far we have advised them
to trust in Providence and wear a smiling
face; there is nothing to be gained by emf
grating; this country il not out alone in the
cold
DIR. De Haas the American c onsul at Je-
ru.alem sends word that for the first time
known to the oldest inhabitants, the cold
weather was so severe as to form ice, and
that the A rabs never having seen ice before,
we're panic stricken because water had
changed into glass.
At Niagara Falls the ice mounts OF form er
years are ice mountains one hundred and fifty
feet in height above the level Of the river,
this year, and are still growing.
Old Probabilities to the contrary notwith-
have an abiding faith tn at spring
will come even to this locality if it does not
arrive until June. Spring rains with q
warm cum wiii eventually secure us a seed
time and with the grain once sown the bibli-
cal promise Of seed time and harvest is as-
sured, as nothing but the grasshopper has
interfered in our day and generation, and
they all emigrated to Kansas last season.

another dollar. and the deed "a dated and recorded
the same as in the case OF the oliver street prop

NUMBER THREE.
The next transaction was where some bargain
was made but OF recorded, as will be seen by the

1t is quite evident that Conan purchased other

not In his own name. Tor we next md him making

NUMBER FOUR.
In Coman's fourth purchase, as recorded we
came across a name that frequently appears in
the exnlDit OF William NJ. Tweed, Rlcnard b. Con-
molly and Peter B. Sweeny. The transfer reads
as iolows:-

purchaser OF these d1erent pieces property,
winch cost Conan the total sum OF s4s $50. Yet
all that Shaw appears 10 nave pald or these lots

every si6.0s2 originally paid out Before selling
