The Springfield Aqueduct Com- pany.
Organized in 1848; reorganized in 1864. Capital stock $184,800, with power to in- crease to $300,000. The two reservoirs in use are east of Armory street ; one is near it, north of Morgan road, and holds forty million gallons ; the other is more distant from the street, and near the Boston and Albany Railroad, and holds fifteen million gallons. The supply held out here through all the past year, thougli it failed in neigh- boring cities. Twenty-six hundred fami- lies and about five hundred stores, hotels and manufacturing establishments patronize the Aqueduct Company, and their daily con- sumption is over a million gallons. Where much water is taken, meters are introduced, and tend to prevent waste. Many people have wells, or draw by pipes of their own from excellent springs on the hillsides. There are several ponds and brooks and two rivers near the thickly settled portion of the city ; and the five sprinkling carts need not fear to lay the dust liberally on our streets, when they can so easily obtain wa- ter from these sources. A new reservoir, west of Armory street and north of Mor- gan road, will be completed by the Aque- duct Company, November 1. Its capacity will be more than double that of the others combined. Thus far, the company have laid twenty-five miles of pipe, all of which is cement-lined sheet iron ; three miles of it was put in the past year ; and the expendi- tures have amounted to $182,000.
horse-power, $6 per horse power ; each addi- tional horse-power above ten, $4. Private stable, for one horse, $4; each additional horse, $2. Livery stable, for each horse, $2; building purposes, $10 for each hundred thousand brick used. Rents due on the first of April and October.

United States Armory.
Commanding Officer-James G. Benton, Brevet Colonel Ordnance Corps ; Assistants to Commanding Officer, First Lieutenant Howard Stockton, and Second Lieutenant Henry Metcalf, of the Ordnance Corps ; Ordnance Storekeeper and Paymaster, Major E. Ingersoll.
The arsenal, offices, store-houses and principal shops are on nearly the highest ground in Springfield, on State street, and command a fine view of the Connecticut River and the surrounding country. The heavier operations required are carried on at the Water Shops, on Mill River. Prob- ably in no other part of the world has the manufacture of muskets been carried to such perfection. The breech-loader, model ·of 1868, which is made here, was the com- bined result of the inventions and improve- ments applied by the government, and the highest skill displayed by private enter- prise. One thousand of these guns, one thousand of the Remington breech-loading rifle-muskets, and one thousand of the Sharps' breech-loading rifle muskets, have been made here the past year, and are now being tested in the field and at the govern- ment stations, to determine which is the best. Three hundred carbines each, of tlie three kinds mentioned, were also made, and are being tried in the same way. That the choice is limited to these, is the decision of the commission of military officers who made careful examination. Twenty thous-
Annual rates for water-dwelling house, for one family, $8; two families, $12; $3 additional for bathing tub. Store or office, $4; liotel, $50 to $250; manufacturing es- tablisliments, 75 cents for each employe. and Remington breech-loading rifles for tlie

United States navy are nearly completed. In addition to this, a large amount of re- pairing has been done; and scientific ex- periments have been made with projectiles, fire-arms, gun material and other matter con- nected with the manufacture of arms.
The ingenious machinery, the perfect system in every department, and the taste and beauty displayed on the grounds, are the wonder and admiration of visitors from all parts of the world. The successive steps of progress in gun-making may be seen in the specimens of arms made here at differ- ent periods, and kept in the museum. Va- rious muskets of other countries are also shown, and there are curious relics from the battle-fields of the War of the Rebellion.
Most of the men work by the piece. The eight-hour law prevails, the working hours being from 7 A. M. to 4 P. M. in summer, and 712 A. M. to 412 P. M. in winter. Dur- ing the war about 3,000 men were employed here, turning out about 1,000 muskets daily, but requiring some portion of the works to be run nights. Nearly 700 men were at work here the past spring, but the force is now reduced.
Springfield Cemetery Associa- tion.
Organized in 1841. President, George Bliss ; Clerk and Treasurer, F. H. Harris ; Superintendent, J. C. Shamp; Trustees, George Bliss, Henry Fuller, A. D. Briggs, Edmund Freeman, Justin Sackett, George Dwight, William H. Smith, W. C. Sturte- vant, John L. King. The Cemetery grounds cover an extent of about forty acres, and from their opening in June, 1841, to January, 1871, 7,341 interments have been made in them, 281 of that number being from Janu- ary, 1870, to January, 1871.
A NEW CATHOLIC CEMETERY has re- cently been laid out and dedicated, on the Boston road, two miles east of the City Hall.
Dogs.
One thousand and fifteen dogs were li- censed in Springfield last year. From the sum thus raised, $1,800 was given the City Library, besides what was paid for sheep killed.
The Alms-house and the Poor.
The alms-house and city farm are on North street, above Bancroft, and are under the care of Mr. and Mrs. James Coffren. From fifteen to twenty poor people are usu- ally supported here. They fare well,-bet- ter, perhaps, than many who do not come ; comfort, cleanliness and good management are evident. The Truant School is also here, with Miss Elizabeth J. Hale as teacher.
People who are very poor have yet a manly or womanly pride that keeps them from the alms-house. In cases of actual suffering from destitution, application is made to the Overseers of the Poor, and coal and food are given. Temporary relief was thus afforded by the city to over 600 persons the past year, mostly in the winter ; $500 was given in coal, and as much more in food.
Travelers who have not means to pay for bed and board, stop over night at the police station, in the basement of the City Hall. Over 2,000 persons have availed themselves of the city's hospitality here during the year. Women and children, as well as men, most of them worthy people, thus found shelter. There is not much chance to sleep, except in chairs ; but the room is large, and a good fire is provided all night when it is cold, and numbers do not increase the cost. In the morning, the " guests " have a few crackers, and go on their way, grateful. The increase of patronage here the past year is due to the tramps. These, however, can only tarry for a night. If they appear the following evening, unless detained by a storm, they are taken as vagrants to the county boarding-house on State street, where they can stay awhile and learn a useful trade.
City Hospital.
Located on Boston road, east of the Ar- mory. Superintendent and matron, Mr. and Mrs. Jonah Stiles. Patients pay $5 per week, and have excellent care and good quarters ; if so sick as to need extra nurses, an additional charge is made for these, and also for medical attendance.
A Pest-house has been fitted up by the city, near Water Shop pond, for cases of small pox, whenever such occur.

Meetings, first Saturday evening of every month, at 8 o'clock from the first of April to the first of October, and at 712 o'clock from the first of October to the first of April, at Sons of Temperance Hall, Barnes' Block.
Milk.
There are some thirty-five milk peddlers in Springfield. By a new law of the State, they register their names with the inspector, A. B. Manley, at the City Hall, have a li- cense, and allow him to examine the article sold. Purchasers also bring milk to be tested, and are invited to do so. No charge is made them, and it is not liurt for use. The tests are ample, and chemical analysis may also be made. The results are re- corded in a book, which any one may read. The honesty of the dealers is thus demon- strated, and anxious mothers are relieved of fears that children will be made sick by adulteration. In one case, milk was found watered, but on subsequent days the stock was good ; so it may be presumed that the water got in by accident.
Jail and House of Correction.
Located on State street, opposite St. Mi- chael's Church. Jailor, J. S. Noble, salary, $1,500; Assistant Jailor, George A. Randall, salary, $900; Chaplain, Rev. William N. Rice, salary, $300. The number of prisoners is variable, usually about 75, a few of whom are females ; female prisoners come here for fine and costs, but are sent to Greenfield if the sentence is otherwise. It is believed that two-thirds of the whole number are brought here by intemperance. Those under sen- tence are employed in making carpet slippers, and turn out about 400 daily. Their labor is contracted for by L. C. Smith, who employs 5 men and 4 women here, besides the prison- ers. There is service on the Sabbath, with preaching at 10 A. M., and a Sabbath School, conducted by the chaplain, at 4 P. M.

Kerosene.
Accidents from the use of this oil seem to have ceased in consequence of the new city ordinance regulating the sale of it. Retailers are required to obtain a license to deal in it, and no kerosene can be sold by them, unless it is first inspected, and does not explode at 110 degrees of fire-heat. Our merchants always stipulate that what they have shall be fully up to the standard ; and when, in rare instances, a poor lot is sent here, the inspector detects its danger- ous character and ships it back, saving all parties from harm. In one case, oil was tested which exploded at 75 degrees.

Hacks.
Every hackney carriage is required to have a license from the city the first of April each year, for which $1 is paid.
