He went with hi sdaughter, Miss Margaret Hamlin, early In this month to Farmington, where h e became ill. He had been at th e h os pital but a short time when he died in his s leep.

HHfLIN ! ---------------· �Sllperjntendent ~r s~ hooi/ ;t ·st Albans, Vt. There are also fou'r grandchildren. At the time of Mr Hamlin's 26th anniversary in 1910, the principal speaker was former Gov Curtis Guild, who paid high tribute to Mr Ham,l l~'s service. "For 25 years," he said, "Charles H. Hamlin has been a minis• , ter to the spiritual needs of this con- . gregation and in the truest sense qf the word, the pastor of his church- 1 - For as a shepherd Is the leader of his · . flock, so· has this clergyman, In this I b eautiful valley, beloved and beautiful ' 1 eve n in colonial days, been a pastor, a shepherd of men, as were his predecessors, when this wai; no tranquil hamlet, but the very fronter of civil• I ization." 1 Rev Dr P. s. Moxom, then a prom!- . , nent pastor In Springfield, said that Mr · j Hamlin was a man who "profoundly , b e li eves in the comprehensive mission of the church. Mr Hamlin's name is . known (and in some quarters whole- I somely feared) all over the commonjwea lth. His successful -efforts to abol,ish a great evil (referring to race track pool sell!ng) make part of its recent history. His d evotion to a high I , c ivic ideal has been inspiration to followers and fello\y workers and has , exerted an influence wider than .he 1 s uspects. His practical belief that 1 'clcanliness is next to godliness' and his broad Interpretation of cleanliness have worked str ongly for a cleaner and sounder s ocia l life. He has ear ned the confidence and esteem of the best / elemen ts in the . community and com- I pelled the respect of all ; it haii earned , for him the love and loyal support of the church for which he has so long been a leader."

Sunday the chocolate- colo-;:';;:tcar a nd the fa mily slipped over the r ldi;te to West Cummington to drop In on Dr and Mrs Starkweather who were eelebrntlng their golden wedding an You s ee, gentle readers, ni v.ersary. go l<len weddings in Cummington are li ke baby golf courses In a big city. Some one starts the fad and then , al most before you know it, everyone is copying the Idea. Last month Mr ana ~!rs Wa lter l<'ord entertained. This mon t h It was the old family doctor's turn. The little reception on Sunday wad in many ways more Interes ting than usual, for Dr Starkweather has been a country doctor in Cummington, 0 1· So,voy, for more than 10 years. He is one ot' the fe w remaining old family phyioians. For well on to half a cen tury he climbed the hills, waded snowdrltted roads, taced biting winds, aml ans.wered midnight calls In Windsor, Peru, Worthington, Sav oy and Cum - I I mington. If all the babies at whose births he was present now lived In Cumming1ton, that village would have more than double its presen t population, tor the good doctor estimates he has assisted at between 1000 and 1200 · cases. An'd as for other calls, or the num.be;. or miles be has t raveled In caring for t he sick, one hesitates to venture even a guess. Country doctors with their kindly 1 ways are fast disappearing- from rural •N ew England, but in Dr Starkweathe, 1 one s t ill finds the type almost' in the prime of lite. But he stands a lone, for ' .:in al! my hills I do not know of a nother, unless it be Dr MoUne of Sunderland, who is known from OJJe end of the valley to the other. The younger generation s eems to ha vP. fiiiled to produce real m en wil ling tn face th e world of need and su ffering, ,. in isola tion, and in humble ci rcum -f stance, i,nd wltli:out p rospects of great ( ' t111ancial rewards. 1 Five 'taugl1ters, all livi!\g and pres' wedding, en gold z·ents' pa their ent at and a host of friends a n d neighbora from far and ilear to wish them success, marked the little ga thering on Sunday. Thus we left them, bu t a s WI! s low ly climbed the hill toward .Plainfield, near the spot wh ere long ago, William Cullen Bryant paused to note the passing waterfowl, there kept run1 , nlng t hrough our mind the qu i;A'tioi 1 , life. l · or what constituted a successfu And somehow or other, the good doc. tol', burled from the wori<l dee p in Hampshire's hills. wit h his twosco1·2 years ot service and his· count / friends, with li!s eplendid health and his unbrok en family circle, seeme"d t e fill the 1deflnlflon. In his own humble I - wny he had kept' high the t radi tions of an !llustr!ous commun ity and when the real history ot Cumm ington ls written his nam e will stand withou t blemish near that of the great poet under whose Influence he h as lived so l l long. We lo~t a noth el' fine . old n eighbor ' duz·ing the week, I refer to Byron Hollis fr om u p in ,vindsor BuslJ. )fr Hollis was almn,t 71 years o!d a nd lived his en tire li(e in the h ouse in whic h he was born, and , if I am not mistak en, h is fathe r \\'as born &.n<l died In th e sam e house, too. but. I notice th at t he Hem lclltng of Mr H ollls 's dea th ~ays tha t his fathe r mover! to tho place as a you ng man . Mr Hollis 11as a fine exa mple o! Fol' more t han a. th e old sc hool. quarter ot a century he ser \'ed as sc hool com m ittee m ember, and it "·as in this capacity t hat I came to kno w him first. He was a good far me r a nd lived in on e of th e mos t beautiful spots In B erl,shi re count.y. From his doo rya1·d one co uld look off to the I south a nd to the west to e njoy the wld e -Epreading hill s. In spite. of t he fa ct th at .M,· H oll is / s pent a ll of h,s days in Berkshire county, h e n ever visited Peru l1il l until we drove up t her e toget her in Old Tlme r in the s pring of 1923. Tllat was a m emorab le trip for m or e reasons that one and I shall long recall · the event. There h a d been a s chool committee meeting that day in Hirn!!• da le at which I had tendered my re~lgnation In order to acc ept a p osition in the W est. Wh en we rea ch ed Peru we found Mayor Creamer seated on th e steps •in front of' hi s store enjoying a beautiful spri ng day. In the course of the conversation Mr Hollis told h im that I had resigned. In s ta ntly l\Ir Creamer, turn in;;- to me. said: ,..What did you · do that for? We were satisfied with I your wo1'1c '' Mr H olli s \\·as a grf:at booster for the Cummington old follrn' gathering, and last June, whe1i he failed to at t end, th,e event seemed to lag. for be had been secre tai:y •of the organization for many years. It was Mr Hollis who COrl'ected t he spelling of 'Windsor Jambs, and who explained how that spot got its nam e. He said t hat , th e huge stones in tl)e walls of ·t he gorge are in the shape of the j a mbs, or sides, of an open fireplace, hence \ th e name. My hills do not maim men like - Mr H offis any more. Automobiles and radios and Delco light s and bakers' bread have erased t!1e marks that dlstingu!s!Jed cou ntry fro m city folks, and now, as one fine old citizen afte r another passes on, they are n ot leaving behind anyone to fl!l t h eir places.

Th e author carries the r eailer thro ug-h a na tional convention In which i n ternationa l a utocrats and the communis ts i re each wor king- i to establis h a supergovernment. T he middlefolks dominate the situa tion and sugges t a plan fo.r world courts m od eled 11pon Am e rican ideals. A court of the west is proposed to adjud icate disputes upon this h emi s ph ere ; a court of the east Is suggested to h a ndle the probl em s of Europe, Asia a nd Africa; 1 the two courts in joint sessi on wou ld ' a ct as the sup reme court fo r man- 1 kind. The argument is supported by wise . sayings, as: "Washington thre-;v a col11 a cr oss the Poto mac. His success- , ors have s ea ttered American dolla r s f over th e world"; " th e ma n who says nothing makes a typical politi cal ad dress"; "political promise represents a hop e, like a check dated a head" ; "the road to wa r Is paved with brok en treaties." A love story which begins upon one of the battlefields o! France and extends through a politica l campaign ·is the thread bY which the Interest of the reader Is malnt,a.lried. The heroine, Joy Pynchon, Is the only.one of the characters which has a nonallegorlcal name. The scene of the story Is laid In one of the middle wes tern states. T he controversy begins with a dispute :~etween between th e commun ist, Ilkovitch; a Stoug:1test, and s u per-industrialist, Middl efolks. It beg ins ,when the industrialis t su ggests that the " chain-store Idea" mig ht be a mplified into a scheme for an in tern a tiol;!a 1 government. This arouses the ire of Middlefolks, who in sists tha t the aver age citizens of the ' world are e utirely satisfied w ith sturdy nationalism . It develops th a t Stoui; ht- ' est Is the gun rdian of Joy Pynch on, the sweetheart of Mlddl efollrn. The sit- : nation naturally follows that the young woman ls !or a time uncertain whether he1· guardian or h er Joyer are correct and attem)i>ts to compromise their ideals which results 1n a barsrler that threatens to disrupt either the ' love atralr or h er pleasant relations with Stoughtest. There are chapters dealing with political campaigning. Possibly Mr Talbot's ow:n experiences as a n Independent in polltics are more or less r eflected In the story. He was on th e subcommittee of three, the other m embers loeing · congress map H oward of, Alabamp, and Judg,e Clarence Shea n of New York, who drnfteC: the Ind e1pend ence leag·ue platform 'O t th eir national conv entron in 19 08 .

Flynn of Pittsflel~, l}_arry Meacham chairman of the Dalton selectmen and Harry Ford of Dalton, Thomas A. Frissell and Carlton A. ' Pierce of Hinsdale, Dr Mary Sanderson of Amherst, and Mrs H. D. Pease and Clemenf Burr of Worthington were a few of ,the many that came from neighboring to,yns. Thi.s was the first death in Mr; Creamer's immediate family and his wife and dau~hters did not choose the windy htlltop of Peru for his resting - place but selected a lot In the Maple-street cemetery .In Hinsdale. About 50 automobiles were in the fun~ral cortege. ' 1 j I �"The Mayor of Peru" e ' ·• '1 j e t t 1 ' The late Frank' G. Creamer of Peru , "the highest town in Massa- , 'chusetts," had entered his 70th year before he died l)n his Berkshire , hilltop. His life for the most part was lived in Peru, which now has a population of about 100 souls. He was for years one of the best-known He citizens of Berkshire county. was also an interesting: person, Mr Creamer for more than a generation kept the- only store in town. A born p~Jitician, he was both the center and the whole circumfer!lnce · of its political life, in spite of the handical) of being a 1 consistent Democrat in a rural Re • publican community. For some 30 years he held practically all of the town _offices, and was postmaster to boot. To hold all the important town offices at once was never burdensome to Mr Creamer, yet there were always quite a few n1atters,· for him to remember and l9ok aftei:. If one is selectman, town clerk, town treasurer, a ssessor, road superintendent, fire and tree warden pound keeper and fence -v iewer and measurer of wood and lumber besides being moderator of town-~eetings, whenever they are called, one can have a fairly active life with tending•/store and being postmaster and county auctioneer as one's chief · vocation. It was as "the mayor of Peru" that Mr Creamer" .,became widely known after the city newspapers began ·play_ing up for the front page t~e town~rneet!i;igs ?n the breezy h11lto1? with picturesque detail and humorous coloring. City folks grew interested in a rural place where oje man held all the offices and, after t~e p~ssage of years, had to fight ' d1ssat1sfied cdtics in one end ·j of the town or the other in order to maintain his supremacy. It was discovered that Mr Crejmer was a "character"-and so "mdividual," as the summer boarders in the Berkshires would be apt to say. He was indeed "individual," also a "char'acter"; and no one appraised the value of being one quicker than he djd. The town , al so, came to appreciate the publicity he won for it. He was hospitable, g enerous and kind hea rt- i ed. He had the s hrewdness of a ; David Harum ; he had a racy wit I 1 and rare fluency of s peech. ' When he served in the lower branch of th e Leg,islature he made his term memorable in town history by tie· livering a humorous speec h on Peru, "the h ighest town in Massa- / , 'ch usetts" in the sense that the village itself had the highest eleva• tion, not to · mention the best air, which made a hit in the House. He prou'rlly . preserved newspaper clip1 pings of that speech for many years ' thereafter. · It was always suspected that the ,politica,l ti.e s between t<the mayor of ' 'Peru" an·cl the late Gov Crane were r~ther close. The gove.rnor never passed the Creamer store on his way down 'the hill to Dalton without stopping to ha ve a chat. .it was Mr Crane's way of keeping close to the people, just as Se~ator- ii';;,ry Wilson, . l~ter ".ice-president in. Grant's adm1mstrat1on, would drop in on and butchers cobblers, Natick barbers,. when h,e· wa f at home, to feel the public pulse. Senator· Hoar in his au\obiography testifies that Senat.or Wilson: knew what ,w:as stiring in Massachusqtts politics sooner than any othe.r , politician in the state. Mr Crane was apt to know as soon as any of the leaders of hi s 1 time, and Frank Creamer w~·s oiie of h!s feelers,. although Frank was a Democrat and joshed Mr·· Crane •at th e first /opportunity when Demo- • cratic Presi?ents or governors had ' been elected. Most . people think of him s a ' :ankee-;-a Yankee rural type. ;hat is where error _comes in.

I Afternoon Memorial Ser,·lce The afternoon :service on the green 1to one sic.le of Dr Conwell's home was opened by Mrs Higgins who presented :\Ir Jenks. l\fr Jenks brought greetings from the state Grange. He said , he was proud of the Worthington 7.Grange · for foreseeing the need of 'e.recting a memorial to stich a g·reat 1 man as Dr Conwell. In conclusion Mr Je.nks called upon the Grange to carry : on its community service work. Referring to the memorial bowlder in front of which he stood while speaking·, Mr Jenks _characterized its placing and I · dedicatjon last year the best piece of \ community service work throughout , . the state in 1930. · R ev James H. Burckes of Worth- 1 ington, anotber speaker, declared Dr I Conwell's life was rich because he ap- , plied three rules of life, they being : Be , true to yourself, be true to your God, and be true to your native town. "You I need to make footprints-not j and the kind we can see, but special im - , · p1·ints such as Dr Conwell left.'' His · closing remark was, boys and ~iris of Nre hills hav~ a 10 to 1 chance of '· reaching great hi~hts. Clement F . Burr, one of the town's ~ oldest resident then recalled incident.c; tt-at happened in this town before his time as told to him by the old man when he was a Joung man. Leon M. Conwell, son of Dr Conwell, touched J ~he heartstrings when he simply, but l firmly expressed his deep gratefulness r , to the Grange for helping to bring \ I back precious m emories of the past.

This 'fas the site of the First church where the boulder is now located, and was ·known as Meeting House Hill, beIng much higher than at present. {I')le min!ster's house stood at about the present location of the corner of Main and Pleasant streets. The f\rst postoffice was on the site of the First National bank. A brook crossed Main street near Pleasant and another near lower corner of Market the street. These were later covered over and connected with the sewer. Whitney House on King Street: This site was the home of Jonathan Edwards, third minister, and it is said Northamp ton was the 1 ·Qnly town known to England, out- I side of Boston, · because of hi~ books and sermons. There Is a ; tablet to his memory in the cemetery, but he is buried in New Jer....,. where._he died of smallpox. I .. . Oldest house in town : On Bridge street , now owned by Miss Bliss. It was built by Cornet Parsons, whose wife was called a "witch ," and who was acquitted after she w ent to Boston and pleaded her own case before the gen eral court. The house, built in 16 5 9. was first used as an Inn. The firat child born ln Nortbamp ampton was the son of,; Cor.n et Parsons, afterward killed by th e Indians at Northfield . First store in town : Was on the site of the present C. B. Kingsl ey drug store. Across the street was an old tavern, home of General Seth Pomeroy, w)io rode from here to Boston in one day to fight at Bunker Hill, when he was 6 9. Hl11 home was later the site of , the Warn er house, where Lafayette and Kossuth were entertaln_e d, and where the Draper hotel now stands. Old Mansion Hoµse and Canal te'rminal building : About where St. Mary's church now stands was the red tavern In the early days a nd la ter the Mansion House, where many distaingu ished !2,!l.9- -~ _.. r.' - a mong were entertaine d, t ~1'r,m Henry Clay, Daniel W e bster and Rufus Choate, the latter two •wl. ec on op,poslte _sides in • the , Oliver Smith will· case a~ · I he .,, cou rt house. At th e foot of th e ' hill, ne,1r · what is now the corner · of State and Main streets, was the canaf house , the water crossing ,Main street under _th~ arches ot a . bridge, The canal, which g_o t,- its water from the Connectic ut river , was in ,use from .,-1 8 36 to 1847. l The coming of the New Have n I railroad, known as th e Canal road, put th e a ctual ca nal out of business. Tbe first settle rs are be- 1 lieved to have· come In via West I street. · Smith College: Founded by Sophia Sniitb in 18.15. Miss Smith , was a native of Hatfield, and the : home there- is still preserved by the alumnae associatio n of the ; college. ·she first planned to establish the college at Hatfield, but , was persuaded that Northamp ton 'was the "' be ttiir location. The !).aughters of Hatfjeld, she stipulated, should receive free tuition the same as those from North· ampton. The Manse, Prospect street: ·The house of Rev. Solomon Stoddard, which stood here and was un ti! a few years ago a part of ibis house, was one of the fi~st houses built west of the meeting house. It was .built In 1684. ·When . the house was , repaired many ,years ago, a ~oncealed room was chimney, discovere d near the bull t for protection again st the Indians, as this house was outside the old stockade between Pleasant and Hawley streets.

The town, so the record says, was generous to Mrs. Hooker, giving her the use of one-fourth of the land sequestered for the minister and the manse till it was needed for his successor. The latter arrangement worked out very nicely, for, though the next minister, Solomon Williams, came within a year, he was very glad to board with Mrs. Hooker, soon married her daughter, Mary, and kept on living in the manse for the rest of his days. It is worth noting daughter here that perspective of the years that fol-| lowed, we may well say that passing of Solomon Williams mark the end of an what we choose era. the did With him closed the mighty dynasty of ministers chosen for life—five of them covering a span of 175 years.

She spent long periods abroad during her early years, notably in London where in 1886 she was presented at Court. Throughout her life she showed a deep interest in the Dutch traditions of Albany and in Holland, from which her father’s family migrated in 1660. In recognition of this interest Queen Wilhelmina presented her in 1924, at the time of Albany’s Tercentenary Celebration, with the Order Nassau. Her home in Albany was always the entertainment of distinguished visitors It was fortunate for the City’s public their users that Mrs. Rice selected them as beneficiaries of her service to her native shared her world outlook with them. Her of Orange- a center for from abroad. libraries and the principal Albany, and gifts to the John V. L. Pruyn Library collection and the books bought from the Fund which she founded in 1927 are predominately international in scope. Among them are several hundred biographies of British and other European men and women prominent in nineteenth and twentieth century world history. The building itself, an example of Dutch architecture of the 17th century, is a reflection of her interest. At the time of her death she had been a trustee of the Albany Public Library for fifteen years, but for many years before libraries in Albany. that she It was her mother, Mrs. Anna Hybertie Pruyn Hamlin Pruyn, public jr., in joining library as had been a in 1900 friend of public that she interested Parker Pruyn, her sister, Mrs. and her brother, John V.

She imposed her own limits—very modest ones—to her personal use of the books she gave to avoid interference with their general availability. The best evidence of what the City has gained as a result of the life-time interest of one citizen its institutions lies in a history of the John V. Library and a description of its collections and in one of L. Pruyn activities. 1901 JOHN the John as a free Albany was established in V. L. PRUYN V.

When in 1922 the libraries of the Young Men’s Association and the Albany Free Library united, the John V. L. Pruyn Library became a branch of the new system and was presented to the City in 1923, together with the rest of the Association property as part of the contract by which the Board of Trustees of the Young Men’s Association, reorganized, became the governing body of the Albany Public Library. The City built an addition in 1927. T. Both building and annex were designed by Marcus Reynolds, the well-known Albany architect. Its architecture is appropriate to Chancellor Pruyn’s Dutch ancestry and is reminiscent of the homes of early Albany. A touch of old Holland is found in the small stained glass panels used as inserts in the windows. Many of them relate to Albany history. For example, among them are the flag of the Dutch West India Company under which Albany was settled in 1624-1664, the Albany city seals of 1686 and 1752, and emblems of the five Iroquois Indian nations who were the City’s early neighbors. Other inserts are printer’s marks, to this library of literary taste and culture.

Such a readers’ advisory service is now conducted at the John V. L. Pruyn Library under the supervision of the Readers’ Adviser for the main library. Business men and women take advantage of it for its aid to advertising, salesmanship and business management, but many readers are enrolled in cultural courses as a means of supplementing their education.

He told “of the days when even the minister had a cow and a pig and of the town’s experience with ‘‘witchcraft;” the supposed ‘‘witches”’ being accused of being “in league with the devil.” Rev. Ralph Timberlake paid a high tribute to what he called “the spirit, ability and persdnatity of your pastor here.” He said that if he were a bishop, or haa the powers a bishop is supposea to have, he would see to it that a church had a pastor like Mr. Gib- |bons, and a_ pastor’s wife like | Mrs. Gibbons.

Of her, the museum bulletin says: ‘Fortunately, some years ago, before it was too late, Janet Waring became interested in this art. Her admiration of the skill of these early New England craftsmen finally developed into a major interest which led far afield.” “She discovered the whereabouts of a few of the remaining craftsmen, octogenarians for the most part, and learned of them their craft. She collected not only fine examples of steneciled furniture but the original stenceils cut and used by such men as extensive decorated furniture, fragments of original decorated plaster, tools from Moses Eaton’s kit, William Eaton’s of the 19th century (the beginning of mass production processes in furniture making in our country) was necessarily fairly mechanical and resultingly crude—the better types of the early stenciling was a meticulous | process requiring skill, taste and a, fine sense of form and composition, The beautifully decorated Venetian blind cornices, tole ware and some of the more sophisticated furniture in the present exhibition are better understood when one sees the hundreds of tiny cut-outs, exquisitely wrought, which have been arbitrarily combined to create the finished designs as they appear, with added brush work, lining and rubbing, on the surfaces of the old tole and wood.

A further courtesy to the public is noted in the table of reference material collected by:-the Museum Director Cordelia Sargent Pond, and conveniently placed in the gallery where the collection is on view.

These men, some more, some less talented, carned a living by going to the demand, stopping as long in village or town as there were commissions to be had. The centers of manufacture, where the skilled craftsmen could be regularly employed, came later. Although velvet painting and stenciling on velvet, “theorem painting,” it was called, was quite extensively practiced, examples are wanting in the present show, except for photograph and design. The writer recalls an example of theorem painting owned by the late Evanore Beebe of Wilbraham, which she said she learned to do when a child in the Ludlow school, where the “painting on velvet” was taught little girls, much as the stitching of a sampler had been taught their mothers.

The miniature people in the train are cut-outs so small as to suggest the skill of the Orientals in handling artistic materials. The design: commemorates the first run of Stephenson’s engine on the Liverpool and Manchester railway in 1830. The French cabinet with ormolu mounts and the Japanese gold lacquers shown in the gallery with the stenciling are designed to suggest sources from which the notion of gold decoration in this country stemmed. How far removed were our provincial interpretations from the originals, are evidenced in the “mass production” chairs, stencil decorated by the hundreds and distributed by peddler wagopa during the middle and later 1800s.

But Miss Waring’s greatest contri-| | bution to the knowledge of the craft of stencil is made with her findings on William Eaton, whose stencils and equipment are included in the pres- ent show.

The well-trained horses stop, without further accident while the startled passengers clamber down and out into the cold, and seek refuge in the nearest farm house. The mother sits quietly in her corner, thankful that the baby sleeps, and only at the very last lifts up her voice in screaming - protest at the delay.

PERRY MASON & 00., PUBLISHERS, BOSTON, JUNE 18, 4 For the Companion. THURSDAY, OVERWHELMED. Down through one of the greenest valleys in Massachusetts has flowed for years unnumbered a winding, murmuring little stream. It is blue as the sky, and its slender breadth is bordered on one side by rich, arable intervale, and on the other by a steep hillside, almost a wall of green, covered and shaded from May to October with long, shadow-catching grass, and graceful elms and willows. Here and there the slope rises on both sides, and the river glides through as if trying to hide itself from view. The green shores of this delightful stream have attracted to themselves many a pleasant home, and by the silver waterfalls one little gem of a village after another has sprung up, each one clustering around busy mills, where the river has been caught and set to work. It is a spirited little river, and has done its best. But work has grown fast on its hands, and its taskmasters have been forced to help it. To accomplish this, a dam was built at Goshen, a few miles above the factories, throwing the water back into a natural basin, and forming an immense reservoir, But still the mills and the villages increased their demands, until eight or nine years ago, OVERWHELMED. So the mason work went on, and the dam was | It now remained for the county | determined to build still another reservoir within commissioners to examine it.

With no brains but his own, he soon succeeded. The machinery was ready, the button moulds were made, and that was the beginning of the Williston button factories at Easthampton, the largest in the country. Mr. Hayden now determined upon making more machinery to use for his own benefit. A brass foundry was the result; and from that day more and more money came flowing into his} hands.

Just above, at Skinnerville, stood Mr. Skinner’s sewing -silk factory and his beautiful home: These sprang up in much the same way as Gov. Hayden’s enterprises; for when Mr. Skinner came to this country from England he was a poor boy, without a dollar in his pocket, glad to get such employment as he could. Still farther up the river, but in sight from Skinnerville, stood Williamsburg, an older and larger town, busy also with its mills, while below all these villages, looking down the river from Haydensville, peeped the white houses of Leeds, with bridges enough for a small Venice, one of iron, one with stone arches, another of wood,*but all so picturesque that you could but admire them, even while delighted with the beautiful waterfalls that everywhere tempted the eye. And so the villages prospered.

The following poem was written by Rev. Aaron Cleveland of Norwich, Ct., grandfather ot President Cleveland. The copy from which we publish is furnished by J. B. Cleveland o€ Oneonta: Four kinds of blood flow in my veins, And govern eachin turn my brains; From Cleveland, Porter, Sewell, Waters; Thad my bloed distinct in quarters. 1 My parents’ parents’ names I know, But I no further back can go. * Compound on compound from the flood Forms now my own ancestral blood, * But what my sires of old time were I neither wish to know nor care. Some might be wise, and others fools; Some might be tyrants, others tools; Some inight be rich, and others lack; Some might be white, and others black. No matter what in days of yore, Since they are known and sung no more. The name of Cleveland I must wear, Which some poor foundling first might bear. Porter, I’m told, from Scotland came, A bonny bard of ancient fame. Sewell, an English derivation, Perhaps some outcast from the nation. Waters, an Irishman, I ween, Straight round about from Aberdeen. Such is my heterogenous blood— A motley mixture, bad and good. Each blood aspires to rule alone, And each in turn ascends the throne And rules till others tear him down. Each change must twist about my brains | And move my tongue in diiferent strains; My mental powers are captive led, As whim or wisdom rules the head. My character no one can know, For none | have while things are so; I’m something, nothing, wise or fool, | As suits the blood which haps to 1ule. When Cleveland reigns I’m thought a wit, In making words, the funny hit. In social glee and humorous song I charm the fools thut round me throng; But soon, perhaps, this blood is down, When Porter next may wear the crown. Now all is caim, discreet and wise, Whate’e1 Ido whate’er advise, But soon, alas! this happy reign Must for some other change again. Sewell, perbaps, may next bear rule; I’m then a philosophic fool. With Jefferson 1 correspond And soar with him the stars beyond. While every fiver of the brain To sense profound I nicely strain, And then arise beyond the ken Of common sense and common men. But who comes next? Alas! *tis Waters, Rushing fearless to headquarters. He knows no manners nor decorum, But elbows headlong to the forum; Uncouth and odd, abrupt and bola, Untaught, unteachable, and uncontrolled, Devoid of wisdom, sense or wit, Not one thing right he ever hit, Unless by accident, not skill, He blundered right against his will; Such am I now—no transmigration Can sink me to a lower station. Come, Porter, come depose this clown, And once for all assume the crown. If aught in Sewell’s blood you find Will make your own still more refined, If found in Cleveland’s blood a trait To aid you in the affairs of State, Select such parts, but spurn the rest, Never to rule my brain or breast, Of Waters’s blood expel the whole, Let not one drop pollute my soul. Then rule my head, then rule my heart, From folly, weakness, wit apart; With all such qualities Pll dispense, And only give me common sense, , ! } i : �(Hr and (irs. request the Gay Franklin Barilett pleasure of al the marriage yoar company of their daughter (Slarjorie Graves to (Nie Horace Edminisler Bell on Fridag, (Vineteen the first of September hundred and at half after two thirty -nine oclock First (Sngreqational Cha rch 7 Worthington, (Vlassachusells 193 Worthington : Marjorie Bartlett ~ To Wed Maine Man WORTHINGTON, Marjorie and Mrs. G. her sister. bridesmaid Aug.

Printing, which began tentatively in 1440, was still in its infancy, and books published before the year 1500 are therefore called “incunabula” or “cradle books.” The number of such books extant today is not numerous and the library is fortunate in having three examples. The volume by Aquinas is beautifully printed 'with two columns to a page, with extremely wide margins, on magnificent paper that shows no sign of deterioration after 459 years. Another example of these early books is the “Constitutions of Pope Clement V” printed in Nuremberg, Germany, in 1482.

It was in 1825-26 that Pierce studied in the former celebrated Northampton law school, second oldest in the country—Litchfield, Ct., Law school being the oldest. Since Pierce, whose home city is Concord, N. H., left the White House in March, 1857, no New Englander was called to- the Presidency until Calvin Coolidge succeeded Warren G. Harding in 1923. Chester A. Arthur, although born in Vermont, was a citizen of New York when he beeame President, after the death of Garfield. The only other two Presidents from New England were the Adamses, John ane John Q. Adams, father and son. In the 80 years between the inaugural of President Pierce and President Franklin D. Roosevelt, there have been only four Democratic Presidents. A man of de- voutly religious wards church, character, Pres- ident Pierce as a youthful law student, then 21 years of age, is said to have attended the Old First church, which at that time was so large that the new Ed- about to celebrate its 100th anniversary, was being considered. The Northampton School of Law, where Franklin Pierce received the legal training that enabled him in 1827 to return to his native town of Hillsboro, N. H., to begin the practise of law continued with increasing success until the presidential election of 1852, was founded in 1823 by Judge Samuel Howe, who once had been a pupil at the Litchfield Law school, and his former law partner, Elijah H. Mills, a lawyer of extensive practise and 4@ United States senator from Massachusetts, In 1827 Mr. Mills’ law partner, John Hooker Ashmun, was added to the faculty of the school. The prominence of Judge Howe - and of Senator Mills and the great legal ability of Mr. Ashmun gave the school a high reputation, but in the strictest sense it was a private law school. Though at one |/time there was an attendance of 1/40 law students, its average attendance numbered hardly more than 10, and in 1829, when Mr. Ashmun accepted a professorship school in je the Harvard Law Cambridge, the school in Northampton was discontinued. But the very fact that students were so few is in Mr. Pierce’s favor, since he would come into close contact with the celebrated legal minds |already referred to. The method of instruction was unique. The professors read written lectures, of which the students were supposed to take copies. There were also less formal oral lectures, and tne stu- dents recited these. The principles of the common law and of constitutional law were taught at the law school in Litehfield, Conn. So excellent was the Northampton school of law, after the Harvard Law school was opened the complaint was made that some of the students were so attracted by the Northampton school and its brilliant instructors that they forsook Cambridge and went to Northampton, It is said that some of the most brilliant lawyers in Western Massachusetts received their legal training in Northampton. Judge Samuel Howe, son of Dr. Estes Howe of Belchertown, practised law in Worthington for some years, then was appointed a judge of the court of common pleas of Northampton, George P. Ashman was one of the brilliant students of the sehool, with connections in Northampton and Springfield. He served three times in Congress as representative from this valley. t Still another student who brought honor to the Northampton Law school was Emory Washburn, who became governor of Massachusetts, and later was professor of law at Cambridge, After leaying the Northampton Law school, Franklin Pierce continued his legal studies in the law office of Judge Parker ..in Amherst. He was admitted to the bar in 1827 and at once began the practise of law in his native town. In 1883 he was a member of Congress, in 1837 took his seat in the Senate of -the United States, and on March 4, 1853, was inaugurated President of the United States. He died in 1869 at his home in Concord, N. H., which now wants to honor him more highly than hitherto, �Clubwomen of Have Been Fourteenth and Fifteenth Districts Invited to Attend Exhibition in That City on Nov. 11 and 12 By A citing Emily “treasure T.

Mrs. William Moore is in charge of the pageant which will feature these styles of another day at each session of the show. At 4 and 8 o’clock on the first day the pageant will be shown and the final presentation will be given at 3.30 on the second day. . There are some very interesting gowns. One is an elaborate white satin which dates back to the. revolutionary period and which has the distinction of having been worn at a reception in honor of George Washington. This is the property of Mrs. David Wright. It may seem a bit odd even in these modern days for the bride to wear red, but Mrs. Moore has in her collection two very beautiful red gowns which were wedding gowns. There are other wedding gowns, which will be displayed.

The back 150 years and possession of a man oldest doll dates was the prized when it was dis- covered by Miss Fowler. He hated to part with it, because he remembered that he was allowed to hold it and rock it when he had been very, very good. An interesting group is a bridal party which is a hundred years old. The bride is attired in elaborate bridal array and the bridegroom is quite resplendent in a dress suit which is 75 years old. The flower girl in organdy and the bridesmaid in green taffeta complete a very attractive group. Miss Fowler will be in costume and she will be a most interesting hostess. Mrs. Daniel J. Manning is in charge of old coverlets and this collection will attract the interest of many. One of the features of this collection will be the counterpane owned by Mrs. Grace Coolidge. Another very old quilt will be shown which was brought from London and the first block of this quilt was made in Hyde Park. The interesting thing about hobby shows is the bits of historical information which are unearthed. There will be on display a sheet which was woven in colonial days in Springfield. There will be some modern spreads and altogether the collection will be very beautiful. There is not time nor space to describe the collection of antique jewelry, lovely shawls, old glass, fine silver, hand-made rugs, petit point and all of the other interesting treasures which have been gathered together for this outstanding hobby show. It will be necessary to see them to appreciate them. The fine hospitality for which the Northampton Woman’s Club is noted will be extended to all those who visit the display. There are attractive features for every session of the show. The will be the international tea climax which will be the closing feature. Mrs. Albert G. Beckmann, president of the club is in charge of the hostesses for this occasion. The members of the junior department will serve and their gay peasant csotumes will add color to this part of the entertainment. “Mrs. William M.

He spoke of the youthfulness still being shown by some of the older members, mentioning particularly ‘“Grandma”’ Sears and “Hattie’ Hill, as he called them, and remarking how “chipper” they still were. He also spoke of Mrs. Brooks, who provides so many suppers, and supposed she was still as “‘young as the rest.” The church, though a hundred years old, is still young and full of activity and power under a new minister—a great occasion, Rev. Henry Lincoln Bailey ot Longmeadow, secretary of the Massachusetts Association of Con- gregational Churches, said it was a great. thing to have a church colonized in the way Edwards church went out—not because of any church quarrel, but because First church was not big enough for all. The churches decided to “multiply by dividing.” He congratulated the church upon having a ministerit could look up to in more ways than one (the new minister is tall). He congratulated the church upon its hundred years of history and its next century of progress. Rev. Robbins W. Barstow sup- plied the church pulpit so often and almost continuously for many weeks, that he came to be known as pastor pro tempore. Mr. Ames said he had done excellent work and the church could not adequately express its appreciation and thanks. Mr, Barstow wanted the people te “‘remember I am still a part of this church.” He said it was ‘fone of the highest spots in my life that I could in some way try to be of sérvice to you.” He reminded that “I had the great honor of being in some small measure responsible for Mr. Penner being here—-and that was something.” He said he always DAILY “We years of covet ‘for fruitful you “many service for more the cause of God among men, “For and in behalf of the First Baptist church, Eaton B, Freeman, pastor; Helen ©.

He describes this same pastor as a “good old grayhaired smooth-bore preacher, whose with the} discourses never sparkled faintest gleam of a striking or original idea.” He had however, a great attachment to the boys of the Genung family, largely owing to his talent in whittling out “saw-boys,” dulum-like.

Behind the brick block, corner of Bridge and Market streets, is part of a house that the late Christopher Clarke said was, in its oldest part, older than the Parsons house.

It was in the attic here that, a few years ago, was found a deed signed by John Pynchon, the founder of) Springfield. If it is true that the _ first wedding in Northampton took place in that much remodelled house between the Baptist church and Forbes library, that must be, in part, as old as the two “oldest” Bridge still killed.

His correspondence was with the great scientists of his time, including Huxley and Charles Darwin. How often have I wished that all houses bore somewhere, as the Lewis Parsons house bears on its great chimney, their date of erection. And I very much wish that a complete compilation might be made of all 18th century (and older) houses still remaining here. This would be a valuable thing for the D. A, R., Historical society or Forbes library to memorialize. The largest number of these probably would be found on \South, Bridge and Elm streets, layouts that followed the first three Pleasant, King and Mar‘ket, on none of which now remains an original dwelling. The first houses were log huts. The houses already mentioned were among the earliest frame houses.

The oldest South _ street houses, with projecting upper story for defense in Indian attack, are the second oldest New England style. Two and a half story frame houses, ‘with roof sloping to the ground floor at the rear. Some of the old houses of this type in Hadley had their doors studded with nails to resist tommyhawks. Very likely that was a style here also. These South street houses must be rich in data that should be saved. The first known building on this street was in 1696; but may have \yeen earlier, as the first bridge across Lickenwater was built years before that. And before the bridge a ford was in use about where the Old South street footbridge is. It would be superfluous here to detail about your beautifui Betty Allen house, but not to rejoice that you have preserved such a fine specimen of a truiy Colonial home. It is also appropriate that this was a Clapp homestead, because those names, Clark, Clapp, Parsons and Strong, are linkea with most of these 18th century homesteads and they have continued a part | of Northampton hfstory throughout On lower Bridge street (said by oldest residents to have altered the least of any _ strect here) the Shephevd and _ Hillman houses are among the oldest, and on upper Bridge, what is left of Rose Tree Inn, the restored Colonial house next it, and the old red house almost at the bridge, which was a tavern and a stopping place of coaches on the Boston and Albany route. Several other Bridge street i pbouses must be a century old— even above “the Plain’’—the sandy, pine-wooded tract behind which was set apart a burying-ground in 1661 and has been so used ever since. Hawley street also has some of the same period, though several of these have been converted into tenements and their generous grounds usurped by short. streets and houses of later date. The Butler house here ‘was considered a very fine mansion. The third New England style were gambrel. roof mansions. These were considered the “highest type of architecture of their time’ and, quietly elegani and truly attractive, were fa-' vored by the aristocracy. This town had seven of these built during the seventeen hundreds. They were called “the seven wonders of Northampton.” Two are still standing--the Hubbard | house on upper’ Bridge street and the Sessions house. Others were the Stoddard (where the Smith chemistry building stands), the Osbornes’, near the corner of King and Main (where the Misses Osborne had a millinery parlor), Deacon Hunt’s, the Dwights’ and Gov. Strong’s. �I am sorry not to find more This reminds me of an anet-|ineirs and other houses here about the John Hubbard house. dote in our family of the first have rather it is overheard, I cannot understand why people use of tomatoes.

His father, Lt. Jonathan, lived 58 years on the first lot before leaving it to a married son to himself move to the upper lot. When he diei in 1738 he left 20 poumds to the town for the support of schools. His son built the present house and also set out the | elms in that section, from which the street takes its name. Northampton is largely indebted to these various Hunts for their interest in beautifying the town and their love of elm trees. A few set out by them still stand, including those about our house on Old South street. ‘ John Hunt’s daughter, Martha, married Judge Henshaw, with which name the house was illustriously associated for 69 years.

This was ‘about opposite Belding’s mill on Hawley street, then Pudding lane. It is described as ‘‘a low pbuilding with a wooden. latch and latch-string hanging outside.’ A former boy, Francis Brown, now editor - of - Current History, has written the most authentic life of Hawley. There was a long and bitter quarrel between the cousins, Jo- seph Hawley and Jonathan bd- tween them, including which notes wards. Letters that passed be- Hawley’s manly later apology to Edwards, are of historical importance, It may be interesting to say that some, if not all, of these, as well ag other Hawley documents (Most likely some of them relating to the revolt of the Colonies) were written, | probably, at the same desk on for this paper were made. Not long ago, at that desk, I wrote to a publisher in Boston, who had written to me ‘that her desk had been John Hancock’s. It was interesting, to me, to think of correspondence still passing between Northampton and Boston from those same two deske. In the late seventeen or early ‘eighteen hundreds, several stately houses of the so-called ‘‘Colonial’ style. were built in Northampton. Like houses of similar sort in the South—houses with big . columns, verandas, . high rooms, halls extending through the center from front to rear— these are not “Colonial,” but a fashion influenced by Thomas Jefferson in the first days of the Republic. True Colonial houses in the south and middle states are most often of stone or brick, are low and have small rooms.

Many came on board to inspect the Yankee and photographers took advantage of the arrival to line up members of the crew in various poses despite the pelting rain. Later, Capt. Johnson and drenched Teporters gathered in one. of the cabins to relate the adventures encountered during the 18 months trip. Although the number and variety of the adventures make it difficult to high-light any particular one, Capt. Johnson related with obvious relish a volcano-climbing expedition in the Solomon Islands, in which the Yankee cruised three weeks, During this time, several members of the crew ascended only a few hundred »feet from ‘the tep of Tinikula, an active voleano erupting periodically. Admitting that one reason for the trip was the desire to get “scared”’ and enjoy the after-elfects of the “scare,” Capt. Jobnson said the group climbed up the windward side| where the eruption of red-hot rocks which skyrocketed into the sky and} back into the sea was not likely to be After witnessing the belching| felt. phenomenom, the inen started down the mountain. Reaching a point some distance down the mountain, they turned to see a shewer of boulders cover the spot upon which they only recently stood “It was.a, good thing for us. we got out of there when we did,” chuckled Capt. Johnson. Many Warships Seen War preparations are noticeable in many ports throughout the world, the skipper said. For example, many warships were sighted in Cape Town South Africa, Singapore and other bases. Two weeks were spent in the Cape Town area and the types™ of soldiers ranged from Scots to turbanwearing natives. The Hadley resident, who shot ‘35,000 feet of colored movies, used special underwater apparatus to photograph a sunken warship off Singapore. The Yankee maneuvered 50 close to the scene of the sinking, he said, that lazily rolling mines were visible from the apparatus. Only one section, Zanzibar, was found to be entirely blacked out during the ehtire trip, Johnson reported, although lights in other areas were dimmed considerably, Although the crew had made elaborate preparations for their stay on board, not one boatload of Nazi or Fascist ‘sailors whose ships had gone |; down, was to be seen. Nor were any submarines sighted on the high seas during the trip. |. �194i “In State Tourney Opening Friday is the group from ty Students Given Special Awards 26 Mrs. Warner Honored by High School Personnel June 16—At from with the Pro hammered pupils. merito were poviez, Mary Culver, Schools Hign Sacred Daniels, Faith Dresser, by tificates Mrs. of Warner senatorship included: to the cer- ton, Na- feé tional Student Congress, held in May at Lexington, Ky., to Lucius Merritt, Jr., and Russell Bisbee; degree of ex- cellence for earning 118 points, the largest number of points ever won at this school, to Lucius Merritt, Jr.: oT of h for 75 points, Russell , —~ omen Robert Newell; 44 POS its Nee y restee of merit, Fai Dresser ida.

Murdock of Jacksonville Expected to Start Boiling March 20; Notes Progress in Methods For more than half a century C. A. Murdock of Jacksonville, Vt., has annually tapped the sugar orchard on his has farm yielded and for longer its treasure Methods of than that sap. it Improve Many changes in the mechanical process of making maple sirup and Sugar have taken “place since Mr. Murdock began helping in the making of Vermont’s famous product on the family homestead 64 years ago. When he first began, wooden blocks three feet long and 16 inches in diameter were split in half, hewn out in the center and used to catch the sap as it was conveyed from tree to trough by means of a V-shaped spout. Next came the handmade unpainted wooden buckets larger at the bottom than at the top. Customs then changed and the 12-quart wooden buckets were used painted a bright red inside and out. . These, in turn, were succeeded by the 16-quart wooden bucket painted white intide. Last came the metal bucket which, itself, has gone through several changes as to shape and size. At first covers to prevent dirt and other foreign matter from getting into the sap and clogging the evaporator were of one-quarter inch thick wood the and buckets fastened to the buckets by means of a stiff wire. These again gave way | to the galvanized metal covers. The first spouts were fashioned of elderberry and sumac limbs cut to the desired length and then made into a pipe by pushing out the pith with a hot wire. Later the manufactured wooden spouts with wire hooks were used and were good for several sea| sons if carefully driven into the tree and removed without cracking. Now, | of course, the pressed steel spout and hook combined are used except in orchards that pipe the sap directly into the sugar house. The nails first used to hold place were covers handmade by the in village blacksmith with a head on about the the upper side only. At present, Mr. Murdock has about 3000 wooden and metal buckets with | covers and spouts as well as 2000 feet A team of horses and } of pipe line. truck are used to gather the sap. His largest storage tank holds about 40 barrels; there is one of 20-barrel capacity and several for emergency use. Two evaporators are in constant operation during sugar making time where often 850 gallons of sirup will be made in a single spring. As is the case with most good sugar makers, Mr. Murdock now employs a felt strainer on an improved settling tank. The sirup is put into cans and_ bottles of various sizes and he also makes sake sugar, soft sugar and cream sugar. Recalling some of his experiences many years ago, he told of gathering sap through two feet of snow when no team could be used. Snow shoes, a boat sled and a one-barrel tub were employed. Two years prior to that he boiled sap constantly for 14 days without ever letting the fire out day or night or going to his home. With the improved methods it is now possible to do all the boiling by daylight. Half a century ago it was customary to break open the roads through the sugar orchard a couple of weeks before boiling began; now a team can be driven over most of the orchard without even shoveling. Then he could hire good men for -$16 and board for a month of 26 working days, each day starting at ¥ a. m. and lasting until dark, Four yoke of oxen and two span of horses did the work, which is now accomplished with a _ single pair of horses and a truck.

Lesneski, Worthington Harold Wright and Dr. Robert Harrington. Steady, powerful wood shots,|| accurate irons, brilliant chipping and exceptional putting make up Cole’s game. Add to that a world of self-confidence in his own ability and you have a youngster of 21, with his fourth club cham- pionship (three in Massachusetts) under his belt, fairly hard to beat. or, the Harrington made a brave effort to put his name on the Rhinehart trophy for the second time. While he doesn’t have the mechanical ability nor the youth of his chief competitors at McGreglean doctor must be ad- mired for bulldog tenacity and unfailing competitive spirit. Those qualities enabled him to accomplish the tournament’s outstanding feat in licking William Callahan, the defending champion, after being two down with three} holes to play. Golfers who reached the semifinal are agreed next year’s tournament should be played in July. Let’s hope it can be arranged, leaving the fall free for the Walbridge golfers.
