Prof. |. S. Geist proposed William II.
Bullar, of Marietta, for active member
ship, to be acted On at the next meeting.
The committee to whom was referred
the question involving the status of men,
bership in the society, reported that no
person had been elected an active member
since the Goth Of July, 1871, without pay
ing $50 (for which he received certificate
of ownership, and contributing 10 cents
monthly to the funds of the society. But
as there are persons who desire to cooper
ate with the society, and who for sufficient
reasons may waive all present ownership,
the committee recommended q pr0rlso,
that such persons may be elected and it
shall be optional with them whether they
become certificate members, CT come in
under the 81 invitation, which obtained
previous to July 29th, 1871, and contrib
utcd 10 cents, ,,no onthly. 1t was also procided
that all active members elected under this
rule, after being three full years cOntribnt-
ing members, and all their dues paid up,
Shall receive a certificate Of ownership p as 4
gratuity, and enjoy all the privileges and
prerogatives Of other certificate members.

Scientific Gossip.
Under this head, half an hour Of free So
cial intercourse was spent very pleasantly.
/ With good takers and good listeners this
might be made the most interesting iea-
turc of the society. After the usual ron
tine of business is disposed of, which is;
necessarily formal and subject to rule,
':scienti!ic gossip is declared by the
president, when everyone can SAY his
say on any subject, without fear Of bein g
out of order, and also with more freedom
than when confined to ''place.''
Adjourned to meet on the last Saturday
in Apli, which occurs on the 30tk, the
last dag Of the Month.
