The main item OF the afternoons ses-
sion WAS the address of Worthy Master
Higgins. he said In part:
We are bound together by the strong
and faithful tie OF agriculture, a
name which at the closing weeks Of the
year 1891. brings TO our eountrymen the
memorysof season of unusual produc-
tivsness. Everything the earth has to
do in response to the labor. faith
and hope Of the husbandman has been
yielded with lavish hand. the clouds
have dropped fatness. Ours is the land
above all the earth. Ii the undevout
astronomer is mad surely the farmer,
whose heart does not 90 out with thai k
fulness to the God OF the harvest is not
worthy OF his vocation, which equally
with that OF him who seeks TO read the
lesson Of the 8 ars, brings him into com
munion with the Maker of all things
He spoke of the Order of Patrons OF
Husbandry, as having reached It's
twenty fifth anniversary on the 4th inst
He described it as having started in
weakness, but having grown until il
abode in strength and now has attained
that height which demands the respect
OF al men,

order of which 10 was the supreme hesd,
declaring 1t to be one OF tine most de
lightful aud noblest bodies Of the kline

! in It's jurisdiction.
The subject Of taxation was the mex
point In his address, which he allnded *
with great earuestness. aud urged th'
worthy consideration of the members

a nanisome olnb Room

The rooms of the Reilly Lyceum, which,
for the past six weeks, have been closed
while being refurnished, have been re-
opened The auditorium, q room 45x75
feet is covered with velvet carpet Of an
elegant design The platform in this
room has been extended three feet on
each end and Is also covered with a
velvet carpet Besides six dozen new
chairs, there has also been purchased q
comfortable revolving chair and hand
some desk for each officer The two
rooms on each side Of the main entrance
containing the many volumes
of the late Monsignor Reilly
have also been refurnished. One will be
used as billiard and pool room, the
other as reading room. The reopening
Of the rooms was the occasion of an in
formal reception, and many took the op-
portunity thus offered TO inspect the
rooms. The money used to refurnish the
rooms will amount to not less than $475.
IL is said that the rooms OF the Lyceum
are by far the handsomest Of any organi-
zation Ia the city.
