The first association of school-teachers of which we can learn was organized at Islip in 1830. It was called the "Teachers' Association of the Town of Islip." Among its prominent organizers and early members were Amos Doxsee, Henry Brewster, William Brewster, Henry Doxsee and Jonas Jarvis. The association met semi- monthly, and continued in successful operation several years. Another association was organized at Hunting- ton about 1842, and was made up of the teachers of that town, Islip and Smithtown. Hon. Samuel A. Smith, then county superintendent of schools, has the honor of suggesting it. It held monthly meetings in different places, and had a profitable existence of ten or twelve years. Besides the regular meetings of these associations the growing demand for some means or medium for the interchange of ideas and progressive enlightenment on the great subject of popular instruction gave rise to the as- sembling of an occasional convention. One of these, called by Hon. Selah B. Strong as early as 1837, met at South Haven, and another was held at Riverhead in 1844, which was addressed by distinguished speakers from abroad.
The Suffolk County Teachers' Association was organ- ized at Riverhead, in June 1852. Its original members were James H. Tuthill, H. H. Skinner, L. H. De Loss Crane, B. H. Saxton, J. Andrew Hallock, M. D. Loper, A. M. Young, S. Orlando Lee, G. O. Wells and W. C. Booth. This association met at first quarterly, in the different villages as invited by the people. As the work of the teachers' institute, commenced about twenty-five years ago, covered much of the same ground, the asso- ciation meetings became less frequent than before. Since 1863 it has met simultaneously with the institute, occu- pying the evenings while the sessions of the latter occu- pied the daytime. Its successive presidents from the first to the present time have been James H. Tuthill, Rev. Robert Cruikshank, J. R. Howell, S. Orlando Lee, H. H. Skinner, H. T. Funnell, A. G. Merwin, A. V. Davis, William Nicoll, A. S. Higgins, E. F. Preston, S. T. Badgley, William H. Clark jr., Horace H. Benjamin, L. Homer Hart, David B. Beale, W. S. Webb, H. F. Candee, Jehial S. Rayncr, E. H. Hulse, G. W. Rorer, John J. Wells, A. Curtis Almy, Cyrus F. Smith, E. S. Hall, Levi Seeley jr., E. R. Shaw, and William E. Gor- don. The association now meets once or twice a year, and remains in session five days. Occasionally a session is held independent of the institute. Auxiliary associa_ tions have been organized within a few years past, one on the north side, another on the south side, and another at the east end.
The following statistics from the commissioners' re- ports for the school year ending September 30th 1880 will give some idea of the attention given to public education in this county.
value of school-houses and sites, $262,843; teachers em- ployed 28 weeks or more, 222; number of children on school registers, 11,412; average daily attendance at the schools, 6,248; total expense for teachers' wages, $76,- 977.31; total expense for other school purposes, $30,- 285.48.
Of the 316 persons who were engaged in teaching in the schools of the county, during any portion of the year, 216 were females and 100 were males. At the annual school election in October 1880 three women were elected to the office of trustee in as many districts in different parts of the country.
The Suffolk County Agricultural Society, or the so- ciety from which it grew, was formed in 1841. Its first record is lost. In 1843 it was reorganized, and from then till 1853 it held a fair each year in the town of Huntington, Islip or Smithtown, except the one for 1849, which was held at Greenport. From 1853 to 1865 no fairs were held. February ist of the latter year a meet- ing was held at Thompson station, near Brentwood, and thes ociety was again reorganized. A fair was held that year at Riverhead, and another in 1866 at the same place. In 1867 the fair was held at Greenport. The fair for 1868 was held at Riverhead, upon a plot of twenty acres, which had been purchased by the citizens of that village and donated to the society for a per- manent ground. Fences and buildings were placed up- on it, and the fair has been annually held there ever since. The debt of the society, incurred in erecting buildings and improving the grounds, has been reduced to about $2,500. At the last fair the amount paid for premiums was about $950. The society has at. present 314 life members, and its officers for 1881 were: Alvah M. Sal- mon, president; George W. Cooper, vice-president; Samuel Griffin, treasurer; Nathaniel W. Foster, secre- tary.
The Hampton Agricultural Society, designed to pro- mote interest in agriculture in the southern peninsula of the east end, was organized in August 1875, with the following officers: Orlando Hand, president; Jonathan F. Gould, vice-president; Addison M. Cook, secretary ; Edward A. Hildreth, treasurer. The first fair was held on the premises of Orlando Hand, at Bridgehampton, in the autumn of that year. In 1876 the society leased 25 acres of land of Henry Howell, in Bridgehampton, which it has occupied as a fair ground ever since. The buildings, fences and other improvements are estimated to be worth at least $3,000. A fair has been held every fall, and since the first year an exhibition every June, called a " market and general sales day." These fairs and exhibitions have excited much interest among the people of the Hampton towns, and the number in attend- ance has sometimes reached 5,000 persons. The present officers (1881). are: Addison M. Cook, president; T. Oscar Worth, secretary; E. A. Hildreth, treasurer.
The Suffolk County Poultry and Pet Stock Association was organized at Riverhead in the autumn of 1869, with officers as follows: Henry A. Reeves, of Greenport, pres-

Edward S. Brown, of Greenport, treasurer; William H. Pullis, of Bay Shore, superintendent. The first exhibi- tion was held at Terry's Hall, Riverhead, February 3d- 7th 1880. A second annual exhibition was held at the same place January 26th-29th 1881, at which about $250 was distributed in premiums. The principal officers of the society remain as named above.
The Mutual Benefit Association of Suffolk County, or- ganized July 6th 1876, has for its object the legitimate purposes of life insurance, so simplified as to secure the maximum benefit to the friends of deceased members with the minimum expense. It is rapidly increasing in strength and has several hundred members.
CHAPTER VII.

THE RECORD OF SUFFOLK COUNTY'S VOLUNTEERS IN THE CIVIL WAR.
HE story that might be written of the partici- pation of Suffolk in the great struggle which disturbed the nation during those four sad years, 1861 to 1865, cannot be admitted within the limits of this article. The towns of Suffolk nerved themselves for the terrible work before them, and responded promptly to the calls of the country's need. Sympathy with the Union cause was most emphatically the popular sentiment. Intense interest was felt in the events which followed each other during the spring of 1861 and inaugurated the war. . The general enthusiasm was manifested by raising the " stars and stripes " in nearly every village and hamlet in the county. As the war became an established fact the different towns held special town meetings to raise money and devise means for filling their quotas of volunteers. Bounties were offered for enlistments, and when the drafts were ordered some of the towns assisted their citizens in securing substitutes or paid them large bounties to go.
Of those who went front Suffolk a greater number en- listed in the 127th N. Y. infantry than in any other regi- ment. Several companies of this were almost entirely made up from the county, mainly from about Southold, the Hamptons, and Huntington. The Hamptons also gave a considerable number to the 81st N. Y., of which Col. Edwin Rose, of Bridgehampton, went out in com- mand. Company C of the 165th N. Y. was recruited mainly from the vicinity of Orient. A company in the 12th N. Y. was largely made up from the neighborhood of Patchogue, and a number from Huntington and differ- ent parts of the county joined the 102nd N. Y. The 2nd, 6th and 11th N. Y. cavalry regiments each received a number of recruits from this county. As will be seen from the subjoined list, many others were scattered among a number of regiments from this and other States,
while the maritime inclinations of the people gave to the navy a fair percentage.
In the following list we aim to give the name of every man who went from the county to engage in the war, with the locality from which he went, the regiment in which he served, and his fate. We have taken great pains to make the list as nearly complete and accurate as possible, seeking information in every promising chan- nel, and studiously endeavoring to avoid all possible mistakes. While the list may not be without an error, we believe it to be a very near approach to completeness and accuracy.
We have used in the list a few abbreviations, which will be readily understood. These are: r, returned; w, wounded; k b, killed in battle; d s, died in service; d p, died a prisoner; d w, died of wounds; m, missing; dc s, died of disease contracted in the service.
Some regiments were known by names other than their number. Of these synonymous titles it may be in place here to mention the following: The 5th N. Y., called "Duryea's Zouaves;" the 165th N. Y., called "Second Duryea's Zouaves;" the 127th N.Y., called the "Monitor regiment;" the 2nd N. Y. cavalry, called " Harris Light cavalry;" the 6th N. Y. cavalry, called "Ira Harris Guards," and the 11th N. Y. cavalry, called Scott's Nine Hundred." In the list the numbers represent New York regiments where not otherwise indicated.
