Early in the week each active member of
the Lime Kiln club received printed copy of
the following notice:
''FIREl poLIcE YUMl"
You are hereby notified that the Lime Kiln
club which has been on vacation for the past
two months, will resume business at Paradise hall
on Saturday evening at the regular hour Every

wAYpowN BEEuE, Secretary.
When the meeting opened 3l2 members
answered to roll call, and Elder Toots de-
lghtedly remarked to Samuel Shin that il
did him good to see the general abandon
which seemed to have taken root in every
breast When the triangle sounded Brother
Gardner arose and said;
my frens, two months ago, at de aiinest
inculcashuns of a majority of de members of
dis club, decided to adjourn de meetin's
frew de space of July an August l had
grave doubts as to de propriety of sich step,
but yielded to de pressure De result has bin
what anticipated. Dis kentry has almoas'
bin plunged into war, de fishery queshun am
still an objick OF nashunal dispute, an storms
an disasters hev bin rampant all ober de
United Stats. Bizness has bin grievously
neglected. People who depended on dis club
hev had der confidence shooken. We mus at
once git back to reglar purceedins an pur-
ceed TO grapple wild an obercome de live
topics Of de hour.
"When dis club was organized we had our
Saturday in August. We changed it to de
second Saturday to oblige de Concord slxule of
philosophy.> Den we changed it agin to oblige
de emancipashun people of Michigan an Can
ada, an has now determined to make third
change. Owing to de fack dat de turnip,
carrot an watermelyon am not at deir best in
dis climbate until September, an dat mustard
an pickles, which play sich important parts
in our banquets do not begin to develop DER
flavor until along about de anniversary of
Perry's victory, it has been deemed best to
sot de time fur de picnic at one week from to-
day / has been in correspondence wild many
Of our honorary members, an am ashured OF

sented by ober 100 delegates, and cherry stait
in de Union will send its delegashun. De place
Of de banquet will be on Fighting island, eight
miles below de city We shall have de usual
