bury inthe chair, The report stated that, at the 
close of last year, the available balance in the Trea-

peal to the public, which had been attended with 
considerable success. The committee acknowledged

pot, which receives whatever oil may flow out of it 
when the lam’ is on its side. Mr, Spencer, Dock
