CORNWALL

On the 29th instant the Cornwall Library Association is inviting the people of that town to an informal re- ceptlon at which time many of its treasures will be visible. Among these are the collection of birds made by the late Judge Harrison; collection of ferns not only of Cornwall but from the Hawaiian Islands and Japan, which are being mounted at the New York botani- cal gardens; and collections of coins, ar TOW heads etc. Among relics are sword and diary of the war of Independence, and of the Civil war, the sword of Lieut.. Payne, a portrait of Lieut.. Coggs- well, the jewelled sword presented to General Sedgwick by his officers and about fifty photographs of him or con. nected with him. The library also has books ard pamphlets by former COrr- wall m'n Dr. John Smulley Fnr half d century pastor at New Britain; Er. N. J. Burton of Hartford the sarCesSur of Dr. Bushuc.l, EtlHn Allen who b gan his chief work before h" was uf u,s,, and ill Cornwall; General Ira Allen who was the chief framer of the constitution of Vermont; President I. w. Andrews of Marietta College; Granville D Wilson the well known composer; and many others. The regimental records kept by General Swift during the Revolution, Rev. Timothy Stone's manuscript his tory of Cornwall written seventy years ago, and various rare pamphlets by the earlier General Sedgwlck and Rev. Hczekiah Gold and others including the satirical poem The House of Wisdom in a Bustle," aimed at Matthew Lyon who was elected to congress from three states. Many similar treasures are in the vault of the library. But perhaps it is most peculiarly rich in it's collection of materials connected with the Foreign Mission school. It has the Common place Book of Rev. Photius Fiske once the secretary of the President of the Greek Republic, and copies of two other siufflar volumes, with tracings of some fifty autographs of pupils of that school. It has five editions of the Life of Henry O5vokiah in English, one in Hawaiian. and one in Choctaw, the latter the only known copy in existence. In one of the show cases may be seen piece of ancient bark cloth from Hawaii, once belonging to Obvokiah and Parson Stones antique spectacles with their steel case, and flax in different stages of manufacture. The library has made considerable progress toward collection of portraits of all college and professional men connected with the town and of their autographs, and has photographs of all the houses i'll the village of Corn wall. The building is to be open to all in the afternoon of the 29th, but only residents of the town are invited to the evening reception.
