The wrriter refers to the things which he was taught as "a meaningless jargon." They included such questions, put to a child in its first school days, as "What is the destiny of man?" "What is geography?" and "What is Grammar?" He was little interested at first in these hard subjects, but he later learned to enjoy his studies, which he pursued with vigor and unceasing application. In the winter of 1784 he went to live with Eli Curtice in Watertown.

and later with a relative, Dr. Lemuel Hopkins, of Hartford. It was thought at first that he must be a doctor, and he took a course in anatomy. It was also decided that he must have a college education. After a sojourn on the home farm where he worked hard at his classical studies, he went to Yale, where he remained for three years, and stood high in his classes, though he declared that he was not a favorite with his professors.

The spirit of Y'ale at that time was of literary history. In Mr. Hopkins entered the office of judge" (then Mr. Reeves in Litchfield) to pursue his law studies. In March, 1713, he very unexpectedly was proffered an examination for the bar, and soon after being admitted he was taken with the small-pox, but this his family knew nothing of until the danger was past.

It will also continue to be a memorable day in Billy's mind from the fact that, instead of "trun-ing out the reporters," the chairman of one of the committcs not only permitted them to listen to a portion of the discission which was indulged in, but upon adjournment stated that it was his express wish that the press should be informed regarding all that transpired. The four meetings in question were as LYCEUM THSATSFt Special Officer Frank Wright, of the protective police, made a clever capture last night about 11 o'clock. Wright was coining down stairs after an inspection of the Marble block at No.

As the officer turned to inspect the other rooms on this floor he saw another man come out of Fisk's shop, and start on a run. for the stairs leading to the street.

The officer called to the fellow to stop. When he did not do so the officer started after the man and at the foot of the stairs met Walter (J. Rutz, a saloon keeper at No. 40 South St. Paul street.

This is the meeting that the chairman. Alderman Kelly, said should at all times during his chairmanship be open to the reporters.

The committee first considered the resolution recently adopted by the police commission, which was presented to the council and referred, that the corporation counsel be directed to send one of his assistants to the police court every morning to look after eases relating to the violation of any city ordinance. To persons familiar with the methods heretofore pursued by the corporation counsel, the resolution is regarded as entirely superfluous, inasmuch as one of Mr. Rodenbeck's assistants has always been available to represent the city in the police court, and as Judge Ernst embraced the opportunity to inform the committee yesterday that he was entirely satisfied with the work now being performed by Mr. Saunders, the committee decided to let the resolution go by default, and not make a report to the council. A communication from the Coal Dealers' Association, requesting that all coal purchased under city contract be weighed on public scales, the scales to be designated by the mayor, and that the same be sealed by the city sealer without expense, was considered and a resolution favorable to the request will be presented to the council.

A pretty Belt is worth its thought he could make a year. He said he would be quite contented with that amount for the first j'ear, as it would be sufficient for his needs. His account of his first legal successes was very interesting. His first law draft was written on the head of a barrel, and his first case was in defense of a man charged with forgery, which was punishable with death, but his man was acquitted. In one instance his fee amounted to a large amount in his eyes.

In 1794 he removed to New York.

I propose to read to you xl is evening some portions of this little autobiography.

Re-fore leginning my reading, however, let me connect it with the proper work of this Historical Society, by saying that its author, who was lorn in 1772 and died in 1S37, and who received the degree of doctor of laws from Yale College in was in his later life a man of note in Western New York. He was the founder of the village of Moscow in Livingston county, was a resident successively of Mt. Morris and of Geneva, and among other offices was state senator and member of congress. "I take-particular interest in the narrative because he was a grand uncle of mine. There are others here, however, who are even more directly related than in the line of descent from him.

I refer to John H. Hopkins, and to Mrs. J. P. Varnum, his grandchildren.

Later he was forced to abandon nis residence In New York, as his expenses were so great that he could not live there In the style to which he was accustomed, and his pride would not permit any retrenchment. So his health and love of the country served as plausible excuses for retiring. He bought large tracts of land in Mt. Morris and Geneseo.
