D. W. Anoflice, was elected
President, and CarryN Pilgrim
Secretary. On taking the chair
the President said: Brother Croak-
ers, this lodge has been instituted
for tho purpose Of consolidating
the croak Of the parish into one
concentrated double barrelled
croak, that shall rise above the din
made by happy voices and drown
the stir and hustle made by 6 busy
and enterprising people. Irecog-
nize tharigh: Oftho people to croak.
That rights one Of the Fundamental !
principles, Of that great Jefferson
ian doctrine Of equal rights, and |
the thought that We arc to be ham
pered in the exercise Of that right,
is, to ne, intolerablo. The croak-
ers viii ROW come TO order.
W. b. Olhcoholder then arose
1 =
and said, I rise FOX tao purpose OF
entering my solemn protest against
any, and ell attempts, to DO away
with croak;ng. We are now IN
position to croak with some show
OF justification. The overnOws that
We have gone through, have given
! the country q set back, and SO
heavily weighted enterprise, that
It can scarcely make headway,
Why should We, l ask, wish to
change ills delightful state of e.
fairs ? Why wish to improve? Do
we want any new men to come
among as and stile our harmonious
croak {? Do we want cur Oldest
/ and best citizens displaced, bymen
= who are fall of tho modern ideas o.
progress, and who VII iraugurater
what in the language Of the day i;
I denominated boom? With ny
Hast breath / viii croak, no!
Echo Jack then took the floor
i and. said, theln's my sentiments.
L. Captrap then asked leave Il
