Thomas  A.  Lancaster  has  been  elected  a  Resident  Member  of  the  Col-

The  following  Report  was  read  and  accepted  : 
"  The  Delegates  elected  in  March  last,  to  attend  the  Ninth  Annual  Meet- 
ing of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association,  respectfully  report,  that, 
on  learning  of  the  inability  of  William  H.  Squire  and  W.  J.  Jenks,  to  be 
present  at  that  meeting,  they  elected  James  T.  Shinn  and  Geo.  J.  Scat- 
tergood  to  fill  these  vacancies. 
The  meeting  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  took  place  in 
the  University  Buildings,  on  Washington  Square,  in  the  city  of  New  York. 
It  commenced  on  Tuesday,  September  11th,  and  continued  till  Friday,  the 
I4th.  Besides  the  whole  delegation,  and  13  other  members  of  the  College 
of  this  city,  delegates  from  the  Pharmaceutical  Colleges  at  Boston,  New 
York,  Baltimore  and  Cincinnati  were  present.  The  Eastern  and  Middle 
States  were  represented  by  many  members,  and  from  the  South  and  West 
a  small  number  were  in  attendance. 
Many  papers,  strictly  scientific,  or  intimately  connected  with  the  wel- 
fare of  the  pharmaceutist,  were  read,  and  testified  to  an  increasing  inter- 
est in  the  Association.  Some  important  questions,  such  as  the  legal  restric- 
tions on  the  sale  of  poisons,  the  proposed  change  in  weights  and  measures 
in  the  next  edition  of  our  national  Pharmacopoeia,  the  closing  of  drug  stores 
during  a  part  of  every  Sunday,  &c„,  elicited  spirited  discussions.  Among 
the  specimens  on  exhibition,  many  apparatus  and  chemical  and  pharma- 
ceutical preparations  were  of  Philadelphia  manufacture. 
It  is  expected  that  the  Proceedings  of  this  meeting  will  shortly  appear  in 
print ;  they  will  make  a  volume  which,  in  point  of  interest,  will  not  be 
behind  those  previously  published. 
We  would  further  remark,  that  the  druggists  and  pharmaceutists  of
