Written for and Read at the Historical
 Litchfield Centennial.

Written for and Read at the Historical
 Litchfield Centennial.
 Reference was made in The News last week to the memorial volume contain ing the full history of the ceremonies, addresses, etc, at the centennial cele- brations of the organization of Litchfeld in 1851, and the centennial of the forma- tion of the Consociation of Litchfield County Congregational Churches ill 1852, a copy of which volume is owned by MT. John B. Reed. The book was pre- sented to MT. and Mrs. Charles Kellogg by Rev. Harley Goodwin, pastor of the South Canaan Congregational church in 1854. and on the fly-leaf is inscribed, in MT. Goodwin's handwriting, the follow ing:
 "Mr. and Mrs. KelloSg: You ask for my name in this Book, What is my name? What will it be a few years hence? It will be sufficient if it be found in the Book of fife But at your request l give it. with sentiments of gratitude and friendship
 HARLEY GOODWIN. $. Canaan, Oct. 1854
 On the opposite fiy.leaf is the inscrip- tion of presentation to MT. and Mrs. Reed, by the widow of Charles Kellogg, who subsequently, became the wife of William Bennett, as follows:
 Canaan, March 29, 1890. MT. and Mrs. Reed In looking over MT. Charles Kellogg's Books, find this one presented to hlm by Rev. Harley Goodwin, of So. Canaan. Please accept 1t as rememberence of MT. Goodwin, also of MT. Charles Ketlogg.-From Adeline P. Kellogg Bennett. With Kind Regards"
 The book contains. among other com memorative poems indited to Litchfeld County, the following by Rev. MT. Goodwin, which was sung, during the celebration, by the choir, the audience jol lling in the chorus:
 Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
 And never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
 And days of Auld Lang Syne?
 For Aud Lang Syne, my friends,
 For Auld Lang Syne, We1ljoin the hands of kindness yet
 For Aud Lang Syne. Our Fathers here their dwellings reared, In social state combined, These swelling fields their labors cleared, In days of Aud Lang Syne. Those ancient homes they guarded well And stood by freedom s shrine; And many a fearless warrior fell,
 In days of Aud Lang Syne. And we were nursed amid these hills;
 And in these wales reclined; But we have wandered far away
 Since days of Aud Lang Syne. We've roalned across the prairie wide.
 The mountain pass have climbed, And placed the school-house in the wild Since days of Aud Lang Syne. We've cleared and reaped the fields ot
 toll;
 We've bid the church-bells chime. And raised the halls of learning high
 Since days of Aud Lang Syne. We've mingled in the city's strife,
 We've delved within the mine, And braved the oceans stormy waves
 Since days of Auld Lang Syne. Hope lured us onward in our course,
 While joy around us shined; But many a cloud of care hath pass'd
 Since days of Auld Lang Syne. The sturdy men of yore have,gone,
 And brothers in their prime, The loy'd and good have disappeared,
 Since days of Auld Lang Syne. We part again to distant scenes,
 And leave this haIlowed shrine; But oft we'll think with grateful praise Of days of Auld Lang Syne.

COLD STORAG E

A bill has been introduced in the New York legislature to regulate the business of cold storage of foodstuffs, which has grown to stupendous proportions prac- tically without legal restrictions. The bill provides for inspection of food-stuffs offered for cold storage. demands the stamping of cases of food at the time of entry and withdrawal from storage, and fixes a maximum time limit for the keep ing of food in storage, etc. Recent events have called public attention to this system to a greater degree than ever before, and it's enormous influence in keeping up prices are better understood.
