and such are the principles of the lnstltu-
ton, that the adoption of those anne ndments
will ineyitai ly affect the interest OF the town

II may not be improper here tc remirk,
that the stated general meetings Of the So,
ciely happening annually, during The ses-
sionof the General Assembly, those mem
hers of the Society who have heretofore
found il inconyen;ent to attend in person,
have generally Hailed to appoint proxies,
knowing as they did that at such general
meetings, they mightbe lawfully represent
ted by the senators or delegates OF their re-
spective districts, cities. borougbs, or coun
ties; but absent members or subscribers can
not be so represented at the general meet
ing to be held in the next month-be cause,
senators or delegates are authorised by The
act OF assembly (passed the twenty third Ja-
nusry, 1907 to represent absent members
of the Society then. and then only, "when-
soever any general meeting OF the said go
ciety shall be holden during the session OF
general assembly," 1t will therefore. be
indispensably necessary, that all members
of the Society, (whether OF the town or
country brsnch) who may fad it inconveni-
ent or be unable to attend in person, should
appoint proxies according 10 the preceding
torn OF power of attorney, to represent
them at the approaching general meeting.
will only add, that il is with unteigned
pleasure, that ] announce il to the members
of the country branch, as the opinion of the
committee, that such alterations and amend.
ments may be made of the rules and regu!a-
tons OF the Society, as will unquestionably
ensure to that branch the highest prosperi.
