COMMENTS ON SOME or MY EXPERIENCES IN BERK SHIRE AND LITCHFIELD COUNTIES.

As sit here my mind reflects and takes me back to my boyhood days and it seems more like dream than reality. For when came out from under the parental roof up among the Berkshire Bills, had no more thought of settling in Woodbury than Joseph did of landing in Egypt when his father sent him to Shechem to see howl his brothers were getting along and what condition the focks were in. Joseph never returned to his fathers home but through the kind providence of God became the grand vizer of Egypt and had the honor and posterity in the earth and even saved the life of his own father, who had mourned for his favorite son, and above all saved the lives of his brothers who stripped him of his beautiful coat of many colors and then cast him into the pit and finally sold him as slave to some Ish. maelite traders.
 In some respects Joseph's experience and mine were similar while in others they are altogether different. My father didn't send me to my brothers or to .in- vestigate flocks or herds but held out every inducement he possibly could to lived and not only my father but. my rel. atives, friends and neighbors, and the church belonged to expreseed. their sorrow to have me leave them. The next week after came away there was an article published in the Berkshire Cour fer, giving an account of some things had done for the town, church, Sunday y school and prayer, meetings and what 8 loss 1t was to town or community tu have such young, man leave It. But when came out from under the =parental ] roof was fully determined that never would be farmer and have in my trunk letters of recommendation, written by those who knew me from my youth, son in the state. of Connecticut read and if promise had been fulfilled that was made me by an ex-governor of this state I should, not be here in Woodbury tc- night. It was through the influence of others outside of.myl lfather's family that led me into thesstafea ofz Connections and finally into the town of Woodbury and for some reason my + fuence. has bee D altogether diferentin the littlea Nutmeg state than 1t was In the old Ray state, and especially in the town of Woodbury. And 1t seems that aH the good have tried to do in this sown* *vas. about like holy thing to dogs.
 When I first came into town I was simply hired servant. but was more popular than am to day. As long, as Christ served others and fed them with miracles 1t vas .sHosanna in the htghest'' but when Christ began to preach and tell people what his mission was here in this world then they cried "Away. with him !" "Crucify him! Cruelty him'!" I believe my experience in Woodbury has been about like . certain minister who preachediin 8 certain place, for he said when he first went there people liked him we'll enough to eat him up but after he had been there few years they were mad because they hadn't. Now if any me let me give them . little advice and counsel before they commence their can- nibalistic work. For if they devour me they won't get much steak for I am in about the same condition that the lean kine were that Pharoah saw in his dream,

O.her states are taking the matter up ~ith the prospect of making the horti- cultural exhibit the most complete ever attempted. The same care that charac terizes other sections of the Exposition will be given the Horticulteral division with the view of making 1t representa- tive as to character rather than exhaus. tive in detail.
 Large as the Horticulture Building is, 1t will not contain all the horticultural exhibits. A plot of ground has been pro. vided extending across the west front of the building on the opposite side of the grand canal and extending south as far as the Elmwood gate. This plot has been under course of preparation for many months and will presents 8 restful attrac- tion in pastoral contrast to the hum of busy, energetic action which will be so characteristic of other portions of the Exposition.

He and his sister were sent to Connecticut to be educated; and there he learned the shoemaker's trade, at which he worked in different places, re-. maining some years in Bethany.

He beiones to one of the old Colonial families of Connecticut, being lineal descendant of Matthias Hitchcock, who in the company of Rev John Davenport landed at Bos- ton, July 26, 1637, and June 4, 1639 {, formed with others . settlement at what was after wards called New Haven. De- cember 3, 1861 ,an application being made for town grant, 1t was finally argues and ordered that William Andrews.

Later we find that fifteen pounds was offered as . il nal settlement instead of the annual rental. This was accepted, and used in part pay. ment for bell purchased in Boston, which is supposed to be the bell now in the court house in New Haven. Accord ing to this agreement the town gave a deed to John Thompson, Thomas Smith, James Denison and Eliakim Hitchcock, a Son of Matthias, including the east end of pond by the beach, called Black Pond. Matthias Hitchcock signed the plantation contract in 1889. The town was at first called South Fad Neck and was renamed New Haven in 164O.
 The children of Matthias Hitchcock were: Eliakim, Nathaniel, John, and Elizabeth. Nathaniel wal married, Jan. uary 8, 1670,to Elizabeth Nose, who bore him the following children: Elizabeth, Nathaniel, Abiah, John, Ebenezer and Mary. Ebene ger, who was born April g. 1889, married Anna Perkins in I'll, settled in Woodbridge, and their union was blessed by five children: Timothy, Ebene ger, Jonathan, Joseph and Anna. Ebenezer, Jr.. reared seven children Timothy, Ebenezer, Rebecca, Elizabeth Jesse, Hannah and Joseph. Timothy, who was the great grandfather of Floyd Frost Hitchcock, was born December 2, 174S.

The height of the building is 236 feet to the top of the lantern, ,and the general proportions are of commanding grandeur. Situated in position of great prominence on the western side of the grounds, the approach from the east is through the esplanade, past the basins If aquatic plants, the fountains and the great urns containing beautiful tropical foliage effects; up the curved incline which is bordered by many odd varieties of f; uiting trees and shrubs, to the mag nificent doorway which is the subject of the accompanying illustration. Probably no horticultural exhibit has ever had such elegant and appropriate surround ings and no former display has been go we'll worthy of it.
 The Horticultural Buildings connect ed by semicircular conservatOries with the Graphic Arts Building to the north and the Mining building to the south. These conservatories are themselves very beautiful architectural features of the Exposition and the fine floral displays in them will enhance their attractions to visitors.
 They connect the three buildings in this group but are distinct and separate buildings, having their own individual style and their exhibits of entirely differ ent character. The court upon which the three buildings of the group face contains one of the superb Esplanade fountains.
 F. Fruits. of all kinds will be placed on exhibition during the summer. Much of the fuit will be preserved in cold sto- rage, though the exhibit will change as the season advances and the different va rieties ripen. A number of states have made arrangements to provide collective exhibits that will properly represent the horticultural products of their particular section.
