NOTES AND QUERIES.

morbid longing to find, develop or discover
something new, is printed stays head which
is emblazoned upon a shield and under this
device, accompanied by the very hearty and
welcome compliments of that genial repre-
sentative of auld lang syne, Jack McQuaid
is an invitation to attend the Inaugural
High links of the Buckeye Club OF
Virginia City. On another page of this
same paper is the programme prepared
for the participants in this festival This en-
braces music by Caras band, ga Lecture on
Connecticut by Sam Davis (of the Evening
Chronicle), Poem by Mr.. R. NJ. Daggett,
songs etc., etc These exercises will be sue
ceeded by dancing and fun of the spontaneous
and impromptu sort 1t will be very hila-
rious affair. The wits and the jollifers will
make the Jinks very high indeed. This Quer
ist regrets more than ever the damaged state
of his health; for it will probably keep him at
home. Whatever may be the name and size
and nature of any person or thing we may en-
trust with the responsibility of appearing
there as our proxy, even though it should be
nothing more substantial or imposing than
love letter or a printers proof, the extent of
our intrusion would be no further than to say:
Gentlemen of the Buckeye Club: Possibly
| am counting sudden and effective applica-
ton of that primitive weapon by saying that
cannot what any relatives, friends or &C
tive members of "The Ohio Regency" need
of Club-Buckeye, buckthorn, or other sort
1t seems to me, may it please your honors,
that with the Army and Navy, the Supreme
Court and the Treasury, Ito say nothing of
her Western Reserve), Ohio can afford to lay
aside all bludgeons, all shilalahs and all head
ache-sticks of whatever variety and assert her
self in the presence of an humble and recum-
bent but admiring world with nothing more
effective than her own right-hand, strength
ened as it is, as the right hand of no other
American State ever was before.
Of he is permitted to survive the foregoing,
the favored ambassador will proceed as fol- |

Testing apart, this Club is to be highly COM |
mended, 1t will do good in many ways. 1t
will promote curiosity among the untravel-
led to know if Ohio is equal to the sublime
task of producing another Seymour Pixley;
if her soil can grow any more Daggetts; if
her miasma will permit the maturing of an
other Wellington Stewart or her Sunday
Schools graduate any more examples like Jack
McQuaid The elevating, refining and instruc-
tive exercises of this Society will doubtless be
felt by all these beautiful men and, if | may
employ the expression, keep them Oh an even
keel
Finally, That this Club may never be whit
tied away into the small kindlings of the
flames and fire. brands of discord never be
split by dissensions never get worm-eaten
nor be affected with the dry rot, and never be
forgotten or neglected; but, rather, taking
on the strength and the healthful fecundity of
a sapling whose roots are digging deep into
the bottomless loan of the Great Buckeye
State, it is the hope and belief of this Notary
that it may knit its fbres as with the texture
of the hickory or the oak, and live to spread
the benign branches of its wholesome and
generous influence far about itself. sheltering
