Taylor Ridge, Feb. 2 rha regular annnal meeting of tbe Ground Hog society es:mb?ed here early this morning to celebrate the day and transact toe important bnainesa connected with the society, at hat been the custom for mere than half a century. This meeting always attracla a large nambcr of people from the sur rounding country and a few dele gate from other states. Tbe society hat steadily prown in popularity J ear by year, while ia numbers it as gradually decreased, as the orig inal organization did not permit of new accessions to its rueni!erehip. rRESIDERT DEATH, Crsnnd I!g Society. and the natural course of events nsTe greatly reduced its roll of mem bers, only four now remaining, all of msiuviuixu iu j tars. The most important question to be considered today will be as to wheth er tbe organization will revise the constitution and tako in the ninetv and nine that Lave beon for years clamoring for admission, or stand by tuv uh;iubi riicita nca lei iae SOCl ciy me wnn iiie Jast mem ber aa was originally sUpalaled. O pan las Kaailoit at Bosnia. The morning tcssion is always con vened at sunrise ana is secret. So secret, in fact, that there hits never yet been a word or syllable of the proceedings repeated withont the cntmoer walls. All other sessions are free to everybody. The last bus iness done at each annual meeting is to appoint a committee t? assemble at the groundhog den at dawn on the next groundhog day, and there take observations and report as soon as possible to the meeting already in secret session in the chamber at the Uidge. The return of the committee is ever a great attraction to the out siders, and hundreds from all the country around about are here to witness the scono. The meeting to' day does not differ from :ts prcde cetsors, save in that the crowd of onlookers is greater than ever before. During the secret ses3ioa. which usually lasts from four to lire hoars. the assembled crowd outride spends the time in conjecturing upon the repart tho committer will return. This is a matter of great importance to the farmer, as upon that report he bases all his calculations for his late winter and spring work. This may seem trilling to some people, but if any one is skeptical on this point, all that will be reqiired t convert him will be to make an inspection ot the farms bed farmers1 families any where in this section. and he will be convinced that there is a secret of success hero thit can not be accounted for upon any other Djfomcsis. Tlun Comas Dlaotr. At the close of the secict session dinner is partaken of and there is a general grt ting of the old veterans of the society and many kini wishes for their healtb and long J ire.

The dignity assumed ty the president on these occasions would cause the most dignified United States senator to die with envy were he to witness a ses sioa ofthls society. As the president arose to deliver his annual address the proverbial pin, had it falNn oa the 11 tor, a loud report would have been the conse quence. The address was delivered ia a most earnest and dignified man ner, and showed the speaker to be a thorough master of his autject. Me went over the historv of the soeiety from its beginning, its successes and failcres before tbe true theory was established, and as he touched upon the lives of the brothers of the soci ety who have (passed over the dark river and the individual sacrifices they had made for the welfare of all mankind, there was scarcely a dry eye ia all the great assembly.
