'- '-.-.. j GekxI'Esign : .Before vacating tho chair to whieh you elected ma twelvo months ago, {I desire to inako a few remarks relative to.the proceedings of the Society during, the year. It will be remembered by most of you that a wide scope, was given to the operations of .thd Society by opehing it > up to other municipalities,.this change has had 'on the. whole, I think a very bene; ficial effect; agriculturalists from other townships have bean afforded an op]>ortunity of competing nicainst us, wo have become sci quamted with each other; have seen their productions, and have been nble to drawa comparison be tween, their productions nnd our own ; -whether in all cases favorable to b.urselves or otherwise' I leave you to judge. I am. confident; liowever, that we have gained rathJ er than loit by the adoption.of the change in-our, usual Toutino and that the benefit to all 'Concerned will bucomo more apparent, if the system is continued and gets a fair trial. I have pleasure in congraJ~ 1 tnlating the Society on tho snecess of its efforts in tlie direction allud ed to as .well as in tho results at tained.^ Tho .prizes paid exceed, thaso of other years with, perhapsj the exception of 1874 while the balance available, for next year is vory materially.: increased, being .S108.S0. The Legislature Grant' too,- is somewhat more this year, than fti former yoiira, thoiigh thcrti ia room for improvement in this di rection ; this however, cannot be bad except members contribute more liberally. The fall show, as- yon nro aware, was really excellent. Tho show of horses, cattle, etc., bo ing better than iisualnotwithstandl- tug that some of our best teams are pot exhibited. Through tho liberalty of the Corporation of the Village of Georgetown and "Captain Barber, the comfort of the visitors and the exhibitors in the Drill Shed wab much increased by having a good plank floor put down. In this con nection I would recommend that.thb ton t'oanc.ll. Tho members Icloet of tho'now Goun. oil n.ot nt 11 t'clock, on Monday, and t(pic tho oath of qualification and do', clkratipn of office, after which they, ad journed to meetlag&in in tho ovohiug at 7'lo'olock.

' 1 |Mr. Cbristio raised objection to the pissing of tho minutes on the ground that it was customary for tho outgoing Councils to have a final meeting for that Pllirposo, and that the new Council wore njit supposed to know anything nbout tho doings or, business of their predeces sors. Ho had ho special reason for ob jecting to the passing of any item in the irtinutes, but thought tho precedent should not be established. The Iteoye n'iid it had Ixien customary here, and he thought also in township and villnge councils generally, for tho new Councils to pass.andiign tho minutes-of the pre- vious Councils. Ho thought the for mality unnecessary, and that it w only applicable to town and city cor porations. Tho objection was waived, and the minutes approved and signed- lJy tho Iteeve.

A sheep had its wit taken off recently by the shaf b of a thresh ing machine on Mr W: McBride'8 farm in East Garafn.xa in a style which for speed and the improvement is a jierinnnent one ; but I also think that so long ns the exhibition is held thero, that tho Village 'Corporation should have the grounds properly fenced aud that pans should bo provided free of expense to tho Society. Th<ro are few 'other- matters to which I need refer.'] There is one, however, which, should not be over looked. -Providonce hns abundantly blessed the labours of the htisband- mn dnring the past year, and whilst many industries throughput the country have become paralyzed, especially hv cur citios and towna^ we have the more reason, tq'.j be thankful to the Giver of all good for the late bountiful, harvest and the blessings which follow.
