Society, deemed ssseHtiai to the county
branch particularly. yet, such is the plan,
and such are the principles OF the tnstitu-
lion, that the adoption Of those amendments
will ineyitafl y affect the interest OF the town

II may not be improper here tc. remark,
that the stated general meetings OF The 3d.
ciety happening annually, during The ses-
sion of the General Assembly, those mem
bers of the Society who have heretofore
found il inconvenient to attend in person,
have generally failed to appoint proxies,
knowing as they did that at such general
meetings, they might be lawfully represen-
led by the senators or delegates of their,re-
spective districts, cities, boroughs, or coun-
| ties: but absent members or subscribers can
| not he so represented at the general meet
ing to be held in the next month-because,
| senators or delegates are authorised Ny Tue
act OF assembly (passed the twenty thIru va. "a.
nuary, 1907 to represent absent medpeis
of the Society then. and then only, 'When-
| soever any general meeting OF the saia sof r
ciety shall be holden during the session "

indispensably necessary, that all mempe - ,
! OF The Society, (whetber OF the Town OF

| ent or be unable to attend in person, should
appoint proxies according TO the preceding
form OF power of attorney, to represent
them at the approaching general meeting.
will only add, that il is with unfeigneo
! pleasure, that announce it to the members
of the country branch, as the opinion OF Inc
committee. that such alterations and amend
ments may be made of the rules and regula-
tons of the Society, as will PROFESSIONALLY
ensure to that branch the highest prosperl'
ty; and finally the complete success cont
