The annual meeting of this flourishing Society was held on the first of January. The report of the Committee on Building was so favorably received, that the Association, after some little discussion, resolved unanimously that it is expedient to build a Hall upon their lot in Front-street, during the current year. The Building Committee were accordingly requested to procure plans and estimates, and to lay the same before the Society at an adjourned meeting. The arrangement at present contemplated, is to have two stores on the lower floor, and a very large hall in the second story, with ante-rooms, etc., etc.

After some discussion, the gallantry of the Society so far prevailed over their economy that they

"Voted, That any lady may hereafter become a member of the Association on payment of the sum of one dollar." It was also

Voted, That (hereafter) the wives of members of the Society shall have free admission to all the Exhibitions.

In consequence of the heavy out-lays, interruptions, etc., attendant upon building, it was

Voted, That no premiums should be awarded the present year - also

Voted, To have but one Exhibition the present year, and to hold that on Cattle Show

A letter was received from the President of the Society, J. M. Earle, who was necessarily absent, declining to be a candidate for re-election.

The following election of officers was made for the year 1851:

President - Stephen Salisbury.

It is not affirming too much to say in regard to this Society, that it is one of the most prosperous in the country. A great amount of valuable information has been diffused, throughout the community, by means of its exhibitions, and it has exerted an influence within its territorial limits of which the practical results are every where becoming apparent.
