...store would have to be closed. So far, $350 has been subscribed, and eight new members added ; and Prof. Ames said if the superintendent were dismissed, and a clerk or so hired in his place, expensed for the rest of the year, and in future, would be $300 or less. Mr. Taussig moved that the society be left open for two weeks longer, in hopes of raising the $600 in the mean time. It was carried unanimously.

If they wish co-operation, (but in a less expensive form than at present), they can have it by raising the sum before Monday night.
