 and Friday of last week great days in Berkshire county. Mir. Field had public reception at Great Darlington on Thursday, and sumptuous enter tainn"nt at the mansion of David Leavitt. On Fri day all Berkshire county congregated at MT. Els native place, and though the weather was not the most favorable, the reception was magnif- cent. Among those conspicuous in the proceedings published, we notice the familiar names of John r. Goodrich, Julius Rockwell, President Hopkins of Williams College, Rev. Dr Humphrey, Dr. Childs and the father and brother of Mir. Field. The ad- dress of President Hopkins and tho speeches of eral other gentlemen, were eloquent and impressive. The following beautiful poem written for the occasion by Samuel B. Sumner of Great Burlington:
