The Springfield Aqueduct Com- pany. Organized in 1848; reorganized in 1864. Capital stock, $211,200, with power to increase 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 & Albany Railroad, and holds fifteen million gallons. The supply held out here through all the past two years, though it failed in neighbor- ing cities. Three thousand and fifty families and about six hundred stores, hotels and manufacturing establishments patronize the Aqueduct Company, and their daily consumption is over a million gallons. Where much water is taken, meters are introduced, and tend to pre- vent waste. Many people have wells, or draw by pipes of their own from excel- lent springs on the hill-sides. 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 water from these sources. A new stor- age reservoir, west of Armory street and north of Morgan road, has been completed by the Aqueduct Company. Its capacity is more than double that of the others combined. Thus far, the Company have laid twenty-eight miles of pipe, all of which is cement-lined sheet iron; three miles of it was put in the past year; and the expenditures have amounted to $210,000.
Annual rates for water- dwelling house, for one family, $8; two families, $12; $3 additional for bathing tub. Store or office, $4; hotel, $50 to $250 ; manufacturing establishments, 75 cents for each employe. Stationary steam engine, not exceeding ten horse-power, $6 per horse-power; each additional 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, and payable at the office.

Hampden County Woman Suf- frage Association
Holds annual meetings in this city in May or June, with prominent speakers from abroad in its behalf. The Society seeks to obtain for women an equal chance in education and employment with men; and " would have women take a greater interest in the affairs of social and public life, so that these may be better regulated, while nothing is to be changed that is now right in the rela- tions of the sexes."

United States Armory.
Commanding Officer-James G. Ben- ton, Brevet Colonel Ordnance Corps ; Assistants to Commanding Officer, Cap- tain J. R. Edie, 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 Con- necticut River and the surrounding country. The heavier operations re- quired are carried on at the Water Shops, on Mill River Probably in no other part of the world has the manu- facture of muskets been carried to such perfection. The breech-loader, model of 1868, which is made here, was the combined result of the inventions and improvements applied by the govern- ment, and the highest skill displayed by private enterprise. One thousand of these guns, one thousand of the Reming- ton breech-loading rifle-muskets, and one thousand of the Sharps' breech-loading rifle-muskets, made here, are being tested in the field and at the govern- ment stations, to determine which is the best. Three hundred carbines each, of the 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 ex- amination. Twenty-two thousand Rem- ington breech-loading rifles for the United States navy were completed last year. Ten thousand muskets and three hun- dred carbines, on the Ward Burton plan, were made and put into the field for trial. Ten thousand Springfield breech- loading rifle-muskets, model of 1870, were also made, embodying all the latest improvements in that arm ; and it is but fair to say, that, all points considered, it is probably the best breech-loading arm in the world. A great variety of repairing has been done here, and a very large number of parts produced and sent to replace unserviceable ones in arms in the field. Valuable machines were also constructed. Scientific experiments are made here with projectiles, fire-arms, gun material, and other matter connected with the manufacture of arms. To re- sults thus obtained by the government, private manufacturers are largely in- debted, and would not themselves, in many cases, undertake the processes by which important facts have been demon- strated that materially benefit them.
Making a liberal allowance for all items of expenditure, labor, superintendence, depreciation, condemned work, interest, etc., guns were manufactured here through the war at a cost of only $11.70 each, while similar arms from contractors cost $20 each, besides charges for proving and inspection.
The chief arsenal of the government is here, and there are now stored in it about 300,000 fire-arms of various kinds for the military service.
The ingenious machinery, the perfect system in every department, and the taste and beauty displayed on the grounds, are the wonder and admira- tion of visitors from all parts of the world. The successive steps of progress in gun-making may be seen in the speci- mens of arms made here at different 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 work- ing hours being from 7 A. M. to 4 P. M. in summer, and 7 1-2 A. M. to 4 1-2 P. M. in winter. During the war about 3,000 men were employed here, turning out about 1,000 muskets daily, but re- quiring 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, Geo. Bliss; clerk and treasurer, F. H. Har- ris; superintendent, J. C. Shamp; trust- ees, George Bliss, Henry Fuller, A. D. Briggs, Edmund Freeman, Justin Sack- ett, George Dwight, William H. Smith, W. C. Sturtevant, John L. King. The Cemetery grounds cover an extent of about forty acres, and from their open- ing in June, 1841, to January, 1872, 7,631 interments have been made in them, 290 of that number being from January, 1871, to January, 1872.
A NEW CATHOLIC CEMETERY has been laid out on the Boston road, two miles east of the City Hall.
Valuation for 1872.
The Assessors make the present val- uation of the city over thirty millions of dollars-an increase of nearly three mil- lions the past year.

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 Coffran. From 30 to 40 poor people have been supported here the past year. Temporary out-door relief, in food, fuel, etc., was given to about 750 persons, by the Overseers of the Poor. The Truant School is also at the Alms-house, with Sarah C. Alford as teacher.
The poor-farm of 12 acres, offered for sale a few years ago for $300 per acre, will now bring $100,000, it is be- lieved. The city have therefore voted to buy the Alden Warner farm for the use of the poor, on the Boston road. It contains 18 acres good land, and can be had for $8,000.
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 1,600 persons have availed themselves of the city's hospi- tality 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, ex- cept in chairs; but the room is large, and a good fire is provided all night when it is cold, and numbers do not in- crease 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.
The Club.
Organized 1868. Object, mutual im- provement by debates and other literary exercises. Officers-President, J. Shar- rocks; vice-president, E. P. Kendrick ; secretary, H. S. Dow; treasurer, E. W. Seegur. Meets every Tuesday evening at 18 Barnes' block. Membership, 20.
Hampden County Horticultural Society.
Organized January, 1861. Officers, same as in 1871, no new election having been held. President, A. D. Briggs; secretary, J. E. Taylor; treasurer, Gur- don Bill. Membership, 300. Exhibi- tions usually in June and September.
River Navigation.
Steamer Mayflower runs up and down the river, carrying excursion parties from Springfield whenever desired. She is a fast-sailing vessel of fifteen tons burden, accommodating 100 passengers. J. D. Gallup of Agawam, captain ; Lewis Adams, pilot.
Steamer Clyde, G. R. Otto, command- er, has her wharf at the foot of Howard street, is a rapid sailer, and takes out pleasure parties of ten or twelve persons. She also does business as a tow-boat.
The steam vessel which makes regular trips to Agawam and back, is owned in part by the city, and has been caulked and repaired, provided with life-preserv- ers, hose, etc., and is pronounced " sea- worthy " by the government inspector. Timid people take this route in prefer- ence to the toll-bridge, though passage by the latter across the railroad is more safe and speedy since Mr. Stearns ex- plained the law which applies here.
Some appropriations have been mnade by Congress for removing obstructions to navigation between Springfield and the Sound, and the engineer employed in this work has made fair progress, and is confident of success.

Located on State street, opposite St. Michael's Church. Jailor, A. M. Bradley, salary, $1,500; assistant jailor, F. A. Norway, salary, $900; chaplain, Rev. William N. Rice, salary, $300. There are usually about 90 prisoners here, a few of whom are females. Of 624 com- mitted to the house of correction last year, 484 were sent there for intemper- ance. Those under sentence make slip- pers, turning out about 1,000 pairs daily. Their labor is contracted for by L. C. Smith, who employs four persons here, besides prisoners. Services on the Sabbath, with preaching at 9 A. M .; Sunday-school, conducted by the chap- lain, at 4 P. M. Prisoners are eager to read, but the few books in the library are worn out and old.
Milk.
There are some forty 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 license, and allow him to examine the article sold. Purchasers also bring milk to be tested, and are in- vited to do so. No charge is made them, and it is not hurt for use. The tests are ample, and chemical analysis may also be made. The results are recorded in a book, which any one may read.
Kerosene.
Retailers of this oil are required by a city ordinance 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 fire heat. Small lots have been detected as danger- ous and shipped back, and accidents from such cause seem to have ceased.
Swine.
For the sake of health and cleanliness, swine are forbidden by city ordinance to be kept, under penalties, in the thick- ly settled portions of Springfield, from Carew and John streets nearly to Mill River, and from the Connecticut River easterly to the Cemetery, Byers and Cass streets.
Dogs.
One thousand and eighty dogs were licensed in Springfield last year. From the sum thus raised, $1,996 was given the City Library, besides what was paid for sheep killed.
Hacks.
Every hackney carriage is required to have a license from the city the first of April each year, for which $1 is paid. The number of the license must be con- spicuous on the carriage, and also posted inside, with the owner's name and the rates of fare. The latter are fixed by the law at 40 cents for one adult, 75 cents for two, and 25 cents for each ad- ditional person; children between the ages of four and twelve are carried for half fare. These rates are for limits ex- tending south to Mill River, east to Walnut street, and north to City Farm beyond North street, and are for day ser- vice. Beyond these, only reasonable ad- ditional charges are allowed to be made.
About 60 hacks and 120 trucks and express wagons are licensed yearly by the city at $1 each.

Birds.
Quite a village of bird-houses appears among the branches of elms in Court square, chiefly inhabited by sparrows, whose services against the worms are prized. In other parts of the city, pretty and sometimes quite stylish residences are put up for the feathered songsters. A small building fund stands to the credit of the birds, in one of the savings banks.
