yesterdays session. More appeals came up
and were disposed of.
THE PATRIARCHAL CIRCLE.
The matter of the Patriarchal circle, men
toned in the report of the previous days
proceedings, was the subject of a lengthy
and spirited discussion. The committee to
whom had been referred the matter submit
ted lengthy and printed report, which was
adverse to the circle. This report was
adopted, and the circle is consequently no
more.

from the special committee on courtesy and
thanks, ETC., made the following report,
which was laid on the table under the rule,
and afterwards taken up and unanimously
adopted by rising vote:

of the groaning boards of luxuries
dispensed by the lovely hands of the wives and
daughters of the place. The exquisitely deli

ladies marshalling the spread, was simply I'M
equaled in expectation and beyond expression OF
thanks. To Winona and her fair ones the east,

gratitude and pleasure when Winona is men
