Mr. Gleason moved that the Club meet again on Monday evening next; adopted, Mr. Wilson hoped the notice of the meeting other evening paper, but it never reached his house until late at night, while the Star came about five o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. Wilson then addressed the Ulub, urging the members to exert themselves to have the yotersof the Ward attend the meetings. The first meetings of the Club were well attended, but when old Mr. Merrill came in he abused members of the Club and Reporters so much that several members became disgusted.
