Mr. W. P. UPHAM, in behalf of the committee previously appointed, 

 reported the following resolutions, which were unanimously accepted. 



Resolved, That in the recent and sudden death of Charles Davis, 

 Esq., of Beverly, the Essex Institute -recognizes the loss of one of its 

 most efficient members. His earnest devotion to its interests, his 

 constant attendance at its meetings, the important aid he has often 

 rendered by obtaining new members, and in other ways, and finally 

 the liberal bequest by which he has laid a new foundation for the pro- 

 motion of its objects, will cause his memory to be held in grateful 

 and affectionate regard by this society. His constant and never fail- 

 ing fidelity was a marked feature of his life, as a member and officer 

 of this and other societies ; and his thoroughly honest and ingenu- 

 ous character and genial disposition made him an agreeable associate 

 and companion. 



Resolved, That Robert S. Rantoul, Esq., be requested to prepare a 

 memoir of Mr. Davis, tijrbe read at some future meeting of the So- 

 ciety, and published in its Collections. 



Resolved, That these Resolutions be entered upon our Records, and 

 that a copy be sent to the family of the deceased. 



The PRESIDENT alluded briefly to the history of horticulture in 

 Salem, and expressed the hope that some person, ere long, would un- 

 dertake the investigation of this subject and present the results at a 

 future meeting. 



Pear trees of great age in several gardens indicate that our ances- 

 tors, at an early period, were not unmindful of fruit culture.
