CURATORS, R. B. Hildreth, C. A. Emery, C. W. Bennett, J. A. Al- len, and Solomon Stebbins.
This institution originated in 1860 with the Library Association, and two rooms were assigned to it in the City Hall, which have been fitted up with appropriate shelves and cases, and now contain about 1258 species and upwards of 3000 specimens of shells, classified by Dr. George A. Otis, recently Surgeon of the 27th Massachusetts Reg- iment; also 6407 specimens of insects, 441 specimens of stuffed birds ; 103 stuffed quadrupeds, including two enormous wildcats, killed in this county; 258 species of fish and reptiles; small cabinets of coral and crustacea; an extensive mineralogical cabinet; a large and very curious collection of fossils ; numerous Indian and foreign an- tiquities, and several flags and various other trophies captured from the Southern rebels by our home troops. Additions are frequently made by the generosity of our citizens, and the Museum is in quite a flourishing state for so young an institution. The Museum is open and admission free to the public on Saturday evenings. At other times a permit from the Librarian or one of the curators is requisite for admission. Donations for the Library or the Museum may be left with the Librarian.

on foot from Mulberry and from Union streets. It has great natural advantages of location and scenery, combining a fine variety of hill and dale, and is constantly being beautified and adorned by the hand of art.
THE UNITED STATES ARMORY-Has undergone much improvement and enlargement during the war, but the reduction of the force em- ployed has of late been very great. The following comparative sta- tistics will show the vast increase in the business of the armory : In the month of April, 1861, there were 504 men employed; in April, 1862, there were 1912; and in April, 1863, 2635. The num- ber of muskets fabricated in April, 1861, was 1202; in May, 2000; in June, 3000; May, 1863, 25,000 ; April, 1864, 26,000. The des- truction of some of the buildings by fire, July 2, 1864, reduced the production to 15,000 per month for six months, when it was increased to 25,000 till July 1st, 1865, since which time, but few guns have been fabricated. The greatest number of men employed at any one time during the war was 2,992; 828 men were employed May 1st, 1866, the entire force being engaged in repairing old guns.
HAMPDEN PARK-Inaugurated September 29, 1857. Purchased and improved by the Hampden County Agricultural Society at a cost of $31,600, for an exhibition ground; "the finest and most con- venient location the Society could have fixed upon, and unsurpassed for beauty and fitness by any lot devoted to a similar purpose, in the world." These grounds, sixty acres in extent, enclosed on the river side by a costly levee, on the other side by a substantial fence, con- tain a splendid barn, with stalls for cattle and horses, and extensive sheds in addition, devoted to a like purpose ; a mile and also a half mile track, graded and kept in good condition ; a range of seats three hundred feet long ; and a judges' stand, tasteful in appearance and per- manent in construction. Here have been held the far-famed Spring- field Horse Shows, and the annual Cattle Shows of the County Society. Its use as a public park is strikingly appropriate, for it was the first lot of land granted by the early settlers, within the first month after their arrival in 1636.
GREAT FRESHETS-Highest Rise of Water in Connecticut River- 1801, twenty-one feet six inches; 1843, April 18, twenty feet eight inches; 1854, May 1, twenty-two feet four inches; 1856, August 21, eighteen feet nine inches, (Camp Thompson inundated); 1859, March 20, twenty feet six inches; 1862, April 20, twenty-two feet two inches (Hampden Park flooded); 1865, March 18, eighteen feet ten inches.
