counsel for the society, announcing
that the fifteen shares of stock in a.
bank of that city, which had been loft
to the society, were delivered to him,
and all held subject to the order of the
committee. Judge Garnett was re
quested to have the shares transferred
to the society. This Is a valuable be-
quest, as 1t is stated that. even inythese
times OF depression, the stock Is
quoted at 225. making the bequest Of
stock together with the accrued diVir
dends, worth about $4,000. The bequcss
will. no doubt, ultimately be worth
considerably more. The total pernla-
nent fund of the society is now $500.
