 President of the Society. The following regular toasts were drank. 



1. J\''ew Ensland. — While her fields are crowned with the gifts of Cere* 

 and Pomona, let us care little for the more questionable favors of Bacchus 

 and Pluttis. 



2. Rotation. — A principle so advantageous in Horticulture, cannot be 

 otherwise than useful in its application to politics. 



3. Cattle Shows. — The noblest .'spectacle is the industrious race who show 

 the cattle. 



4. Mount Jluhurn. — A fortunate conception, happily bodied forth. While 

 it adds solemnity and dignity to the attributes of Death, it offers to grief its 

 proper mitigations.
