"7 FRANK WATSON & coO, 2 Eemakiin Sieert: \ Before the Nerwich Round Table where the topic this season is Con- | necticut, Miss Sarah L. Tyler at the - meating read a vory intercsting per on Town Meetings of Colon! Days. This involved much searching of records, and will be read with keen appreciation as given herewith: The first recognition by Massachu- setts of the Connecticut colonies (Windsor, then pamed Dorchester; Hartford, named Newtown, and Weth- | ersfleld, ‘termed Watertown) was in June, 1635, when a constable was ap- pointed who was one of themselves. Three months later each plantation was given permission to elect its own constable, wWho was to be sworn in, howgver, by a maglstrate of Massachu setts“Bay. Three years later Say brook, the fourth eolony in Conmecti- cut, was settled, and about the same time New Haven, or Quinnypiack, in 1639. New London came next, in 1646, | .and Norwich in 1660. The colonial records begin with 1636, and there i every reason to believe that no tow acts” were recorded before 1639, ana there are only four notes or memoran- | da during that period. | Golden Age of New England Town.

To the early settlers of Connecticut, the dis- tinction between civil and ecclesiasti- cal affairs was not very clearly defin- ed. Eg: hlown mqeund g held in the “meet ouse,” and town and church business were often settled at the same meeting. Untll 1737 the same body lald the taxes, called the ministers and provided for his salary. The code of 1650 required that all per- sons should be taxed for church, as well as for state, and both taxes were levied and collected the same Wway. First Meeting House. | The meeting house at first was only a little los house; before the meeting house, under the stairs, 359 pounds and was built the services were held in the house of one of the planters or even in the open air. Our ancestors @id not view the meeting house as a place, and used it for ail tion of conscience. It would seem to us a very strange place for the keep- | ing of military stores, but it was a very general custom at that day as be- ing central, and a well protected depot eptember 14, 1635, England town.

By an act passed at Massachu- setts Bay, colonies were allowed to elect townsmen. Harly in the year 1639 the people of Hartford came to- gether and elected townsmen. The en- try is the first formal town record in the colony. Two weeks later appeared the famous constitution. In less than a vear after the adoption of the con- | stitution the general court passed or- ders expréssly reserving for the towns the right of choosing their own officers or passing local laws with penalties of assessing, taxing and straining for ron-payments, of selling - lands, of recording titles, bonds, and mortgages of land within town and of choosing a local court to py the try causes involving more than forty | town, shillings. The order fo a town meeting was!' this meeting, or : gived by the townsmen to the consta- be holden heres by the inhab- ble, who gave a notice to the warner and drummer. The warner left a sum- mons at every house. The drummer began to beat half an hour before the time of business, and i constabl and two townsmen and fifteen inhab- itants appeared it was a logal meet- ing. In New London, Feb. 25, 1647, it was agreed (as it had been by cach of the other colonies) that any man being tated. lawfully warned to appeur at any gen- ment (to publish some orders made at eral town meeting, that refused or did not come at the time appo.ntes. o1 within half an hour of the appointed time, if he be at home, or have notice of the citation, that man shall pay 10 presumed that most of the inhabitants | the constable two shillings and six would be in attendance, and the most pence for the use of the town, or it any person do vote after the com- Panie to come to vote, or before the meeting be ended, without the com-, panies leave, that party shall pay two shilllmgs and six pence for his dis-' order, and further it is agreed that it any fail in either of these two things before mentioned and refuses to pay the penalty wkben the constable de- mands it, the constable shall have power to distraine.

Mr. John Davenport at a town meeting was chosen minister at New Haven. Mr. Hooker and Mr. Stone as- sisted at the installation, which tradi- tion says took place in a mighty barn. In New London the town meeting en- gaged the Rev. Mr. Blynman for a set “stypend” and to increase it each year.

Mr. Fitch came with the Norwich coiony and after he was disabied fror: ireaching several candidates were tried but Mr. Flint proved the most popu- lar and it was agreed “that hyg may abide with us half & year, more or less, that he may have further trial of us and we of him, and that he may stay as long as may be expedient for rrobation.” ~ Later he was offered 52 pounds per year by the town and his board, while he remained without a tamily. When he haa a family’ he was to get 60 loads of wood a year and 70 rounds, that is 50 pounds in money and 20 in work or grain. As soon as vessible meeting house were built and services held there. In Windsor Sept. 1, 1655, it was voted in town meeting that Captain Cook stall cause that seasoneblo warning shall be given to come to meeting on the Lord’s day and lecture days, by drum or trumpet on the top of the meeting house, and he should get 20 shillings for the ensuing year. Pro- vision was made on the top of the { building, from the lanthorn to the ridge of the house, to walk convenient- Iy to sounid a trumpet or drum, to give warnings of meetings. The drum was |to be beaten twice in the morning casonably on the Lord’s day and once afler dinner. Also on the lecture da; twice. In New London, 1651, the town agreed with Peter Blackford to beat the drum all Sabbath days, training days and town public meeting days for {he sum of three pounds. He was also to sce to the coming of the minister's rate and the town rates and was chosen attorney. Feb. 25, 1661. Oid Goodman Comstock was chosen sexton.

He was also to make all the graves. ‘or a man or woman he was to have four shillings, for children two shillings, the grave to be paid for by the sur- vors. Depredations of Animals and Birds. How serious the depredations of wild animals, birds and serpents upon the voung colcnies had become is shown by the town records. In New London in March, 1845, it was agreed “if any on do kill any wolf or wolfs within the town of Nameaug, he that kills the woif shall have of everie family within the town sixpence corditionelly that he bring the head and skin to any two of the townsmen.” Evideutly <eeing was Lelieving.
