It has been the intention of the Society to j;i 

 credit for every presentation of Fruits, Flowt 

 and Vegetables ; and shoidd any names have be 

 omitted, it is through ignorance, and unintention« 

 and therefore it is hoped will be excused. 



To Mrs. Cofliu, Mrs. Porter, Mrs. Doctor Spi 

 ford, and Mrs. Moseley, with Mrs. Jlary D. llodi; 

 Elizabeth Porter, Lucy Moseley, H. Rand, a: 

 other yoimg ladies, who aided and assisted 

 dressing the Hall with so much taste, the Socit 

 feel much indebted ; as also to those who so lihi 

 ally furnished Flowers for the occasion ; and 

 Mr. Stephen S.Hodge, in furnishing the evergre 

 trees in its decoration. 



The Fruits were generally of very superior qu. 

 ities and size. The Vegetables have never be 

 equalled ; — and when it is considered that we ha 

 no Green Houses in our vicinity to protect t 

 fragile and tender flowers from the hard frosts i 

 cently experienced, it may be considered womli 

 ful that so fine a display could have been mat 

 and speaks volumes in favor of the refined niin 

 ai]d delicate haiuls, which have extended to ihf 

 that protection which has preserved them for 

 important an occasion. 



The whole show is highly creditable to tl; 

 quarter of the County, and exliilnts the deep a 

 increasing interest excited by our infant instiiuti 

 in the town and neighborhood ; and ihe great i| 

 cession of new nieirdicrs to the Society has « 

 ceeded our most sanguine hopes. 



Among so many |)resentations, all good, it « 



impossible to do justice in extolling their imiiv j 



ual merits; therefore the simply registering ll 



articles has only been attem[)ted. || 



Per order, T. B. White, Secretary.

 year : — 



President — Ebenczer Moseley.
