AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



It will be noticed by the official proceedings in another 

 column, that an agricultural society for this county was or- 

 ganized on the 5th inst, and that officers were elected to 

 serve until the annual meeting, which occurs on the first Sat- 

 urday in June next. An adjourned meeting of the society 

 will be held in this city on Saturday next, when it is hoped 

 that all who feel an interest in the subject of agriculture will 

 make it a business to be present, unite with the society, and 

 lend a helping hand to give it value and efficiency. 



Mr. Benbridge has presented the society with a beautiful 

 blank book, prepared expressly for the object, in which the 

 constitution and by-laws of the society have been transcribed, 

 and to which the signatures of the members are to be attach- 

 ed. This book can be found at the office of Messrs. Ben- 

 bridge & Mix, and every citizen is invited to call there and 

 enrol his name as a member. 



With union and a little effiart, a society can be established 

 which will impart a great deal of interest to, and aid materi- 

 ally in developing the resources of, and the best methods of 

 cultivating the soil, and the improvement of stock, of horti- 

 culture, of fruit, of agricultural implements, and all those 

 auxiliaries connected and associated with agriculture. We 

 hope there will be a general turn out on the occasion.
