EXECUTIVE MEETINGS. 



The Executive Board for 1856 held but four sessions. 

 The time of these meetings was occupied mainly in closing 

 up the business pertaining to the Fail' of 1855, and in arrang- 

 ing for that of 1856. Among the votes passed, only the fol- 

 lowing seem to be of sufficient importance to occupy a place 

 in the Society's Transactions. 



Voted, That the ex-Presidents of the Society be constitu- 

 ted life members, in consideration of donations and time and 

 money expended in promoting the prosperity of the Society. 



Voted, That the Superintendent of the Asylum for the In- 

 sane be constituted a life member by virtue of a donation 

 made by that Institution. 



Voted, That James M. Whiton, Esq., of Holderness, be 

 . constituted a life member, in consideration of valuable dona- 

 tions to the funds of the Society, and that he have the privi- 

 lege of naming a friend who shall also be a life member, by 

 donation made by Mr. Whiton. 



[Mr. Whiton subsequently named H. W. Weeks, Esq., of 

 Warren, who was accordingly voted a life membership.] 



Voted, That Hon. Isaac Hubljard, of Claremont, now near 

 90 years old, in consideration of his age and the interest he 

 has manifested in the Society, be constituted a life member.
