 Shrubs in Northern Missouri.

 ties, Illinois.

 land, Illinois.

 orological Table for the last twenty-five years ; On some Mildews and 

 Moulds, and especially on two Fungi destructive to the Catawba Grape j

In conclusion, I have to state that two new Associate Members have 

 joined our society, while several have left us, principally by removal from 

 our city. Our list of Correspondents has received an audition of ten new 

 names. 



The Treasurer reports the number of Associate Members to be one hun- 

 dred and two, of which, I am constrained to say, about two-thirds are in 

 arrears with him. Our debts are principally one of about $70 to Mr. 

 Witter, and one of a little over $400 to the Republican office ; these we 

 expect to liquidate as soon as our members pay their contributions. 



It is needless, in these times, to speak of hopes and wishes for the future 

 of our Academy ; but let us hope and pray for peace, and peace will bring 

 prosperity to the people, and so to the prosecution of science.
