that two of the trustees made such an exam
ination in May, and made a sworn return to
the examiner thereof that a like audit was
made by the trustees Austin and Abbott in
November, previous to the tragedy where
Barron made the sworn return. They each
time went over the items, counting cash on
hand, inspecting the evidence of assets, and
certified to the correctness of the statement
by which the amount of cash November 9TH
appear $3.50 less than it would have been
had not the charges to Crafts & Straw re-
duced the amount called for by the books.
These trustees remember nothing now
about inspecting any evidence of loan TO
Straw, but think they must have seen some
thing purporting to be such note and mort
gage, else they would not have passed the
item.

evidence exists of practice Barron had of
loaning the money of the bank to friends
without security, date or other evidence of

Notes from the CampgrOund.

Ii is really treat to get away from the
cares of business, out among the trees just
bursting into new life. and to see the green
blades of grass-so different from the dust
and hustle of the city. This time it is trip
TO this, Just now, quiet spot. 1t looks very
much as it did the last time we visited here ::
to be sure the leaves had fallen, and every
thing had lonesome look. while to-day the
trees are beginning to show some foliage and
the grass is green upon the parks-yet the
general appearance will always be the same.
| find the grove in first class order. the ave
nucs have been badly washed. but the super
intcndcnt has been at work upon them and
they are now in good condition.
The winter has been tedious one for Mr.
Reed and his family who have had great
deal of sickness. but are well now and gladly
hail the returning spring. Very few visitors
have put in an appearance during the winter,
less than usual, but considerable many are
attracted hither now, looking after their prop
erty and laying plans for the scason.--Some
two acres west of Smith avenue have been
cleared of underbrush, making altogether too
conspicuous row of nsightly outbuidings.
But all these things will be rectfied in good
time. Already the usual amount of talk is
heard in regard TO new cottages and undoubt-
edly an average number will be erected this
season.
The great difficulty is, people delay so
long. 1t is all hurry and confusion. and the
meetings are begun before the cottages are
ready. 1t is really unpleasant for those who
have got settled in their cottages to he awak-
ened at daylight by the hammer of the tarly
builder who is making up for lost time.
