The" minutes of the last meeting were read and approved, and the reading Vf the yearly reports followed in regular order, The report of the Recording Secretary shows that at the annual meeting of the society held January 30, 1881, it was de-- eided that in future the annual meetings should beheld a the- last Saturday in April which made the year just ended one -of ufteeu montls duration. This was dons that all thorn who had joined the society T- when there were no dues after the initia-- tion fee of on dollar should have time-to be informed of the new financial arrange- menu which had been made necessary by the growth: of the society. It was -found that no private parlor was large enough to comfortably seat the members assembled at these meetings. It wss aisu necessary tof have some central meeting plans for sections.

Two interesting lessons xm lichens were given by Mr. Uongdon, an entna- siastie botanist from Kb. ode Island.

With this exception the Section has been obliged to depend upon it own resources for infor nation, learning; what, they could from books, but learning mostly by the study of the objects themselves. Jf or this reason the members have had but few papers dur ing the year. After learning something of the manner of the fungi, aigsa. lichens, hepartiene, mosses and lyeopceheioean, the study of ferns was taken up. Beginning by examining the tissue of the least complicated organs, the sh al ias ot tne newly developed spore, tneetuay ls systematically pursued.

E. BunelL a blacksmith- of Buffalo, hat a lucky horseshoe which baa been in the Buneli family for nearly a century. There is in connection with the shoe a most interesting history which the repor ter was made- acquainted with. It seemes that in 1771, General 7 Lafayette, with the immortal Washington, wa making a tour through the northern por tion of New York State, and one evening, near nightfall, they reined np at a neat and comfortable looking inn, which wa kept by Mr. James Haikios.

Here tbe distinguished guests tarried for a week. Just before resuming their journey. Lafayette's horse cast a shoe, and tbe fa moos General, picking it up handed it to "mine host" and smiling. said: Here, take this and keep it, for it is an inheritance of luck," The recipient heartily thanked the donor, aad carrying the gift into the house, kept it treasur ing it highly long after. Mr.

Haskins handed it ovr then to his son-in-law, (ra Brooks, whose wife died in 1876. at the advanced age of 100 years.

She eras sitting in an upholstered easy chair before a big mirror, and striking yanous poses now lying back on th soft staffing, both ber arms -spread out negligently; now leaning against, one of the sides, with elbow supporting ber body; now sitting bolt upright in the middle. All tb while aha regarded her reflection ia the glass with a critical air. What do you suppose she wa at? getting herself fitted ia a chair. She knew bow bard it is to be graceful in some of the chairs of novel shape, aad was bound to have en that would aid instead of hindering ber in posing prettily before her visitors. hen a girl sets out to be a fascinator, you understand, she must use all the devices available for that purpose, So this creature was neither lunatic nor fool, though the appearances were a little against her.

He was honest guUieas, loving, and, good health, overflowing With animal spirit, which took tha shape of abeuroVbalf maudlin teneraeaVsnd buffoonery; sensuous without hilarious without wit, improvident, slovenly, harrow-minded, and. when beginning tof all into ill health, inclined to morbid brood ins: and to an unwholesome savoring of the thought of death, from which frame of mind piece of good news or glass ef wine would suddenly bint most boisterous, most chMdiaa state or jollity. He had received a very careful aad comparatively liberal ducation; he bad travelled much, and associated wisn men of talents and position yet.

despite hit linguistic facility for writing, he wae on th whole an uninteuectua man. a a He oared for no art, save his own; books had bo attraction for him. He seem to hav been totally unaware of the great intellectual and social Question which were shaking the world around him. His conversation in if anything like his letters, must have been quaint, but rather vulgarly jocular; his mind. though not inactive, was frivolous; his tastes, though innocent, were coarse; his though- mean.

He stayer aimed at raising bis social position, or at doing more than merely securing mm self and hie from present distress. He aspired to no. higher society than that of his good-natured, illiter ate wife, and: of bis low, coarse ibviai friends, small musicians and tradesfolk. He yearned after no finer pleasures than thoeeof sipping -his punch while listening to tavern jests and pot house brawls, of paving court to ac tresses and chambermaids, 'of dancing and pichicingTrith his loud, stupid wile, of playing the buffoon at masaea oaus. His very affection was of a sensual, con.

vival sort, seeking for nothing whicb could raise, him by com pelling him to ad mil a. His life, despite childish, delight fal little occasional traits such as bis love for birds and beasts, wae the life of the low German middle classes, untouched by the earnest poetry of Goethe, (embellished by the playful, fanciful grotesaueness of- Jean Paul: it was tbe illiterate, thriftless, jocose, superstitious tfe of tbe Austrian of the last century, Mozart's nature was a good and pure one, 'rat external circumstances never forced upon him a struggle with himself, a sac- rthee which might have ennobled and raised it out of mediocrity. His very music did not seem to elevate him. To compose music was a necessity to nim. riis mind was overflowing witm master- oieces, but they seemed as little con nected with its main characteristics as if they bad been put into, it by some for eign agency, lo suppose, as JNoni does, that he was constantly striving after higher perfection, is absurd; his own enius ripened, and his art along with it, but absolutely without effort on his part.

tie was not, like Michael Angelo, strain- iug after grander forms, nor, like Leon ardo, seeking everywhere lor a more sub tle beauty, lie had neither ambition uor ideal; he produced masterpieces as montaneously as tbe tree produces the fruit, and what he produced thus spon taneously was superior by far to what others might have obtained by countless ettorts.

A Parliamentary paper, just issued, shows that the number of emigrants who left Irish ports in 1881 was 78,719, decrease of 17,138 as compered with 1880. the number of males being 40,317, jr 9,872 less than in the previous year.

Of the emigrants in 1881, 76 per cent, were between the ages of la and 3o years; 459, or 78.4 percent, went to tbe United State, and 10,623 to Great 'Britain. Of tbe 40,317 males who emigrated, 27,566 or 68 4 per cent, were laborers and 3,440 farmers. Of the 38,402 females, 24,083 were returned as servants.

A few! -however, remained stead fast, and our Section soon filled with thoughtful, appreciative and enthusiastic members. These changes explain our cour-e that in: September, 188L we com menced where we began the January pre vioue. We had then reached the high rennatssance this was an epocn whan tbe deDths of tnouffbt nad bean stirred.

AM enlightened Europe was restless: men were thinking for i themselves. In Italy, Savonarola had thundered against the evus and abuse of the Church. Columbus, im pregnated with the teeming of tbe times, felt convinced of wealth beyond the sea. Printing! had been invented, and her its twin marvel, engraving, had been perfected.) Poets onnd new subjects for verse, philosophers were again on en chanted STOund. Naturalists were track ing the secrets of nature; the last shackle of art were loosed, and mind and fancy were as free and highly strung as at the noon of Greece's development.

He who claimed our study first was Leonardo him whom Sy tnond ha termed the magician of tbe Kennaisance. A man who reckoned painting but an accomplishment, like sculpture and music, in both of which was proficient, and would has his 1 pretentions to recognition as a scientist and an inventor. In fair Florence, most intellectual of cities, at tbe period of the generous sway of the great merchant princes the Medici Leonardo ripened into a marvellously endowed manhood. 1 Restless, like his see, be found himself at Milan at the call of Stores, who. al though tbe grandson of a peasant, ranked with princes, and would make his capital an intellectual center.

Beauty-loving was Leonardo, and if his pencil traced tbe grotesque or terrible, it was never perpetuated upon canvass or in fresco, save the one weirdly, beautiful incarnation of earthly diolu'on, "The Medusa Head." Smiling women, dimpled boys, and the beauty of water in grotto and cascade, moved his poetic soul Our studv took in his arrest con tern nor- aries his haughty rival Michael Angelo whose Titan brain evolved in mighty forms, which a toman and bewilder, a pro cession whicb depicted dispensation and the new. iHis darhn; hand de Dieted Jehovah creation, the grand procession of prophets and sibyls, the Infant Saviour, the crucified Son, and the terrible finale of all, the last judgment.

We have seen him in bis work with his great band of pa pi la drawn from all XtaJy; even from Soain and the Netherlands.

one of the viewers, said that they nad located it in accordance with Mr. Brier's sugges tion, so far as regards that part of it which passes hi orchard. The other route sug gested would have cut off Mr. Brier and his stock from access to the creek, and the additional expense would only be that of one culvert, and that the County Surveyor laid out the road on the north side of the Sycamore tree; in accordance with the wishes of two of the viewers of the road. The opposition mad by Mr.

Sunol was then withdrawn. A. A. Moore then filed a chum for dam ages for fedro de saisset, amounting to on tb part of Joeefa Sunol, $646 80. He stated that road was of no particular benent to Mr.

de Sainsnt a hi land was adjacent to a county road, and hence bis large claim for damages. Mr. Brier said that in giving his right of way be expressly reserved the right to cut down such trees on the where it passed his orchard, as might, sap the trees in bis orchard. He also aslced for $20 Mr. Moore said that tbe puttmgtnrougn of a public road compelled bis clients to fence off the road to keep out traveling stock, and tbey were entitled to damage amounting to tbe cost of such fencing.

-Mr. Dusterberry said that his idea of the law was that damages could only be al lowed for the real estate and not for remote damages, such as tbe necessity of fencing. Mr. de Saisset was examined a to value of th 11 acre of land which the road will take away from bim. He valued it at $30 an acre.

It wa farming land The road was of bo nse to him, as he had already three mils of county road oa bis place. It would cost to fence on the road properly, and the road would run through grain fields. The lands of Joeefa Sunol would also need to be fenced. BKCES8. At 12:15 f.
