After this company were seated, Senator Buckingham in- troduced the chief magistrate of the nation to the multitude that covered the grounds, tens of thousands in number, who enthusiastically received him with cheers.
Then, after music by the bands, the Declaration of Inde- pendence was read, and Mr. Buckingham, with a few brief remarks, introduced ex-Governor Woodford, who, according to the programme, delivered the principal oration, which was able and patriotic, but too lengthy for insertion here.
After the oration was delivered, Mr. Cleveland read the following resolutions :
"The citizens of Windham county, assembled at Woodstock, on the ninety-fourth anniversary of the nation's independence, make this renewed declaration of their political sentiments.
" First. We believe that all men are created equal, endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, liberty, and the pursuit of hap- piness, and that to secure these rights governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
" Second. We reflect with profound gratitude to Almighty God upon the marvelous progress of our beloved country, upon its increase from 3,000,000 to 40,000,000; upon its vast expanse of territory ; upon its growth in wealth, invention, art, science, education, and religion; upon its success and glory in war, and its greater love of peace, and upon its promise of a yet more glorious future, as the most populous and power- ful of civilized nations, leading the way towards the perfection of social, political, and religious happiness.

WOODSTOCK.
" Third. We rejoice and give thanks for the nation's salvation from the prolonged and awful danger of the great Rebellion; for the emanci- pation of 4,000,000 slaves; for their elevation to full citizenship; for that crowning amendment to the national charter, whereby the Declara- tion of Independence is made a living, universal reality; and for the growing spirit of harmony and fraternity throughout this land.
. Fourth. We heartily thank the President of the United States for coming to meet us here, and we hasten to assure him of our enthusiastic appreciation of his great services, as the glorious, successful leader of a million of the soldiers of liberty in the most momentous war in history. Ready to "fight it out on that line, " when war is needed ; and we doubly honor the great warrior who gives the nation the watch-word, " Let us have peace." Observing with cordial satisfaction the fidelity, economy, energy, pure patriotism, and statesmanship of his administration, we express full confidence in his continued and triumphant success.
"Fifth. The native county of Putnam and Lyon has had the great honor to lay its ready tribute of life and treasure upon the altars of liberty from Bunker Hill to the Appomatox. It has never measured its share, nor counted the cost when the country's honor was in question. Remembering the sons who gave their lives that the nation might live, we here anew dedicate ourselves to the work they so nobly carried on. That from those honored dead we take increased devotion to the cause which they gave the last full measure of love of country ; and we here highly resolve that the dead shall not have died in vain, and that the government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
" Sixth. That our sincere and heartfelt thanks are hereby tendered to Honorable Henry C. Bowen for his indefatigable labors and great liberality in preparing this magnificent demonstration, and for a long series of most thoughtful and public-spirited efforts to promote the social, educational, and religious interests of this town and county."
The reading of these resolutions being concluded, the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher was introduced and made a character- istic speech, overflowing with both wisdom and humorous remarks, which caused a great outburst of cheers and good feeling. Then followed General Benjamin F. Butler, full of pith in most things spoken of. He touched upon the subject of foreign emigration, and spoke in favor of all classes, except the Chinese, which he deprecated, and thought some measures should be secured to protect the country and its labor from this class of immigrants, which he feared would be an evil.
319
WOODSTOCK.
After General Butler sat down Senator Buckingham intro- duced Governor Hawley, who alluded to the remarks of Gen- eral Butler, disagreeing with him upon the idea of restricting any class of immigration. He said :
"Idon't know how to go to work to lock the doors of the United States. We have done what we could, and stopped American slavery. I wish the Chinese had a better education in regard to American insti- tutions. I wish they could bring with them a better religion; but I believe they all can read. With our flag over me, and the New Testa- ment in my hand, I say, 'Let them come.'" He wished they were in better condition ; but he did not see how he could shut the gates against any down-trodden people who wished to flee to the protection of American institutions. He said he would occupy the few remaining moments in urging on his fellow-citizens the great importance of keeping open the gateway of the United States to the free access of all emigrating people.
He would ever guard our interests against the least approach to the slave trade ; but could see no injury to any of our useful institutions in encouraging industrial emigration to our shores from every part of the earth. He would keep the gate open and the stream as pure as possible, and let it flow. We must counteract any evil that may threaten us by our living examples of good. We must impress a pure and undefiled religion on all who may come to us, and if any go back to their own lands they will carry to their neighbors the blessings of our free institu- tions. He would not dare to lock the inviting gates of America against a suffering world.
General Butler desired to reply, but the President's time forbade any continuance of the remarks beyond the appointed time for the departure of himself and his company ; thus, as Governor Hawley closed, Mr. Bowen stepped forward and said that Mr. Gilmore would now, in honor of the Russian minister, perform with his band the "Russian Hymn."
At the conclusion of this performance the Russian minister returned his thanks, and spoke of the friendship which had existed between Russia and the United States from the earliest history of this country :
" He hoped that friendship would be permanent. In saying this he expressed the feelings of 82,000,000 of Russians; and he hoped that that feeling would be reciprocated by 40,000,000 of Americans."
320

The exercises closed with the singing of " America" by the entire audience, accompanied by Gilmore's band.
The presidential party then proceeded in carriages to Thomp- son Station on Norwich and Worcester Railroad, and took the cars for Norwich, where they were entertained by Senator Buck- ingham, who gave a reception to the President and his friends.
The following day the President proceeded on his way to his family at Long Branch.
This occasion, no doubt, produced the most memorable and exciting day ever witnessed in the history of this town. It was but an exhibit of what energy and enterprise, directed by skillful hands, can do through the efforts of one individual. This town has great cause to be thankful and proud of a native son who so ably and liberally sustains her best interests.
THE WOODSTOCK AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
This society was chartered by the State of Connecticut, on the 2d of July, 1861. The first preliminary steps for its formation, was a meeting held in the Baptist meeting-house, in South Woodstock, November 13, 1858, at one o'clock, P. M., when Ezra C. May was made chairman, and George A. Pen- niman, clerk. This meeting then elected a committee of six gentlemen, all of Woodstock, to frame a constitution and by- laws for the government of the society.
The society embraces all the towns in the county which are disposed to unite with this town, and conform to the regu- lations adopted by the same.
The first annual meeting was held January 4, 1859, when officers were elected as follows :
President-Ezra Dean, Esq.
Vice-President- ( Chester Child, Wm. R. Arnold, J. F. Williams, Jr., E. S. Bugbee, and Albie Hiscox.
Corresponding Secretary-J. M. Lyon.
Recording Secretary-George A. Penniman.
Treasurer-S. M. Fenner.
E. S. Penniman, George A. Paine, George C. Phillips,
Directors~ Charles D. Smith, Abel Child, 2d; and Alexander Warner.
321
WOODSTOCK.
The first fair was held in September, 1859, and the society has held a fair cach year since. Their annual meetings for election of officers are held in December, besides which two or three executive committee meetings are held each year.
The society receives $100 per annum from the State; the other necessary funds are raised by life, annual member- ships, and by entrance fees.
The annual exhibitions are attended with increased num- bers, and proves a successful aid to the great agricultural in- terest of the county, and a stimulus to many other industrial pursuits. It invites honorable competition, promotes the ad- vantages of the best modes for the cultivation of the soil in producing crops, the breeding of cattle and other ani- mals, and fosters many other branches of industry ; it also does great good by introducing social habits among the peo- ple of the several towns connected therewith, increasing their general intelligence upon all questions pertaining to their various pursuits, which is always the most effective power in the accumulation of wealth-verifying the adage that "know- ledge is power." The assembling of numerous bodies of peo- ple together to compare and consult upon their mutual inter- ests can not be too much encouraged or too highly commended.

" APPROVED, July 24, 1868."
ACADEMY BUILDINGS.
The first academy structure was erected in 1801, and is at the present time of writing standing where it was originally located, and by recent expenditures for repairs, is in a condition that gives evidence that it may continue a useful building for another period equal to that it has already passed through.
The new academy, now nearly finished, is much larger, and of far more imposing appearance. This was commenced in 1872, and will probably be completed and ready to receive the students from the old house by the beginning of the year 1874. Its dimensions are as follows : one hundred feet in length by sixty in depth. The front is south, and has two entrance halls, between which is the school-room, forty feet square. At the ends of the structure, beyond the halls, and opening out of them are four recitation-rooms, two on each side ; and in the rear are three rooms, for library, laboratory, and reception. In the second story is a fine hall, supplied with a good stage, adapted for public exhibitions, having ante- rooms, wardrobes, etc.
In the third story are rooms for the teachers, and some for students. From the tower may be seen an extensive view of the country, scarcely equaled for landscape beauty by any other place.

These two subscription lists are to contain subscriptions to the amount of $15,000 each -- the one to build and complete the new structure for the academy, and the other for a sup- porting fund: Henry C. Bowen, Esq., contributing $5,000 towards each, on condition the sums should be raised, but his subscription payable when $10,000 on each should be sub- scribed, including his own subscription.
