The Wurra Wurra Club.


 The regular meeting was held up un- til Monday night in order to give all who wished chance to vote, and get that out of the way before taking up the more important business of the Club. The president MT. Bob Shaver, was not present. He was absent. It stands to reason that he could not be present and absent at the same time. But let that pass; 1t is a mere detail, at best, and the circumstance cuts no figure, as the fellow said when he did something or other we have forgotten what. In the absence of the president who was not present, the genial sexton of the Club, MT. $. Biscuiteater Strong, arose to his feet and stood up to announce that he would ap- point Mir. Harry Holt, our obliging post master, as chairman pro tenn. MT. Holt meekly accepted the verdict and took the chair. His first official act was to clear his throat and sing the Opening Ode, in clear, strong, sarsaparilla voice, and bow his thanks for the vociferous applause that greeted the close of the performance. Then he allowed MT. Hardenbergh. (N. Watson.l to read the minutes of the previous meeting, which Mir. Hardenbergh, (N. Watson1 done real nice, as he always does. The chair then declared the meeting open for any old kind of business, it didn't matter what.
 Mir. Henry B. Ives got up and said he wished to congratulate the Club on the success of the election. He said there were some things about it that might have been different if they had been otherwise, but on the whole, he thought it was a success as an election, princi- pally because 1t was over with and out of the way, and he wanted to congratulate the Club. Mir. Fritz Oehlschlager want ed to know what the Club had to do with it, and was informed that every Club whether be was on one side or the other. The chair asked Mir. Ives If he wished his congratulations to be put in the form of a resolution or a vote of thanks or confidence. Mir. Ives replied that he would prefer to have 1t put as a compound fracture of the cerebellum, with deep fringe around the bottom. The chair declined to submit the matter to the meeting.
 Mir. Holsapple invited the Club to st- tend the opening session of the Canaan Business Mems Association, in Odd Fellows Hall, on Tuesday evening, Octo- Der I6, when the fall and winter meet ings will begin. The meeting voted unanimously to be present.
 His Honor, Judge Ford, who had been moderator of the town meeting, got up to deliver few remarks concerning the furniture of the court room, which he is authorized to remove from Falls Village to North Canaan when he can find a place to put 1t, but as his observations showed a tendency toward sarcasm at the expense of the voters who had declined to provide a room, the chair ruled him out of order, and His Honor sat down with the biggest part of his speech still in him.
 Mir. Lyman Howe got up and said he would like to invite all the members who could give the proper due-guard, sign, pass and token of the pass, to attend the regular communication of Housatonic Lodge of Masons. Thursday evening, and see Brother Gillette take the third degree, with delegation of the big-wigs of the Grand Lodge, and a whole confer ence of clergymen in attendance, besides whole lot of visiting brothers of other lodges, and the ladies of the Eastern Star Chapter serving a banquet at the close of the lodge-room solemnities. The chair referred the invitation to the com mittee on third degrees.
 The fat member rose to say something on his pet abomination, woman suffrage, but Jim Keenan offered strenuous ob- jection, and the fat member sat himself down muttering something about some thing that nobody understood.
 Horace Humphrey got up and started to express his views on the present dusty condition of the oiled roads, but was in- terrupted by the genial sexton of the | Club, Mir. Strong, who said il was after | ten o'clock and he'd have to shut up shop or lose his license, and the meeting adjourned.
