perqu sites, all to be drawn from their
wido, and orphans donation fund,
and tney were also about to choose a

The FOrmagonian reported that but
one member had died during the past
summer, and also hat not a case of
sickness had occurred during the late
seige at any camp occupied or held by
the Macs. Their ports are all clean,
clear and pure, and need no sewerage
systems.
The Tomatonian reported all camps
in good condition, sanitary and other

for use during the next epidemic.
The Claretonion gave notice that he
had wine enough to run the %associa-
ton for six months to come.

notice that the supply Of macaroni
would hold out for two months to
come, and that a fresh supply has just

the daily press be excluded from fu-
ture meetings of the association.
Upon motion Of the g~arliconian it
was ordered that any officer of the
association caught wearing shoulder
straps from and after this date, would
be contaminated and perhaps buckcd
aud gagged forthwith.
The grand m~acaronian made a few
remarks Of a feeling nature. Among
things he stated with his usual
of expression that no accident
had occurred during the late siege
and that all and every member had
acquitted himself valorously. He had
no charges to make against a single
brother; all have paid their score. or
have been deadheaded. A few acct
dents and cases of sea-sickness had
occurred during their marine opera
and one casualty had happened.
La the latter case the person hurt
tumbled into the raging pillows, but
was finally fshed out, rolled on a bar
and brought around. The i'll
are in some cases rather
even at this date, owing to the
heroic nature of the treatment
through which they had been put.
They had been rubbed down with
scrubbed Off with steamboat
brooms and dosed with FISH hooks.
is no question but that they will
come out in vigorous condition a few
days hence. The chief was cheeted
as he subsidized.
BY this time several members We're
seen to be asleep, The warmth of the
evening had a %soporific effect, and
the snorcs began to disturb and
CRATE upon the ears Of those who were
still on their feet. The society at the
had intended to wind up forth
with, but finding a considerable fund
still in the treasury, they voted to
on For a few weeks longer. They
then adjourned to n.,et at their den
