Society convened as usual. The motion respecting censors was negatived by a large majority. Money matters were brought upon but being busy with a communication to the Society did not attend to them. I believe we agreed to pay debts, which, to be sure, is very honourable. Fined Brothers Henry and Chadwick each 25. cts for absence. Brothers Blaisdell and [Alverd] 25 cts each for Compositions, and Brother Boyd 75 cts for oration A communication from Arkansaw Territory, from Mr. Finney, our much distant correspondent, defered till next week.

If after ages wish to know how we spend out time in meeting; Let them know, that a set of manglers and disputers occupy that time which should be devoted to nobler & literary subjects. Exercises read for next meeting, and Society adjourned till they meet agai-
