stances is that of the old adage : " Misery loves company." All 

 the rest of the like societies in this section had one or more stormy 

 days, and our treasury, though not full, is not in so bad a condi- 

 tion as many of the others. Long life is considered a very great 

 blessing, and it is the earnest wish of your Secretary that we may 

 all live long enough to see two pleasant days for the exhibition of 

 the Hampshire Agricultural Society.
