Y., 1890, Vol. 8 It is due to the Society, to say to you, that it is organized for the purpose of gathering up fragments of local history, of the near, Or remote past, and preserving them for the curious eye of posterity, and in furtherance of this object, the writer hereof has been designated to keep, for a limited period, a record of current events, as an experiment in the way of preserving local history. If therefor you should succeed in unearthing no document of this nature of a date subsequent to this, you may rightly infer that the experiment proved a failure. It may not be amiss to state, that this document is attempted to be expressed in the chirography at present in use among us as a people, and would be intelligible to the average expert of our day. It may encourage you in your task of attempting to decipher it to know that we of the present day are striving to interpret the meaning of certain hieroglyphics and cuneiform inscriptions which have come to us from an age as distant in the past, as you are remote from us in the future.

Our sphere of observa tion being so limited, I fear that the chief variety in my daily record will be in its recital of weather changes, except as I may glean an item, from time to time, from the outside world.
