Annual Meeting of the Vermont Mer-
inc Sheep Breeders Association.

Notwithstanding the deep snow that
makes it so difficult TO travel, tho annual
meeting called out an unexpectedly large
attendance, aud the proceedings were inter-
estiDg and entirely harmonious.
The me ting was called to order by the
president, Hon. N. T. Spiague of Brandon.
The report Of the executive board was then
real, showing that the work Of the associa-
ion had progressed in such q manner as to
place beyond doubt the entire success, OF
he association there had been entire har-
mony Of action and no cause OF trouble in
The constitution; that the report of the
committee on pedigrees would show that
they had accepted locks enough already to
make a respectable register; that many
more had applied that the committee had
not yet accepted, and that the frat volume
Of the association record of pedigrees
would be ready to be published at an early
day.
The report Of the treasurer would also
show that the finances of the association
we're in a healthy condition, and that the
institution would be %self-support 'ng. There
would probably be a good balance left in
the treasury after all the assets OF the as
socls ion were realized.
On motion of L. a. Orchard, esq, the
report was accepted.
The report Of the treasurer, Hon. c.. d.
Lane was then read as follows;
