ford records. The oldest town-records extant are in a book fifteen inches long, six wide, and one thick. It is bound in parchment, and was tied together by leathern strings. Its first twenty-five or thirty pages are gone; and the first thirty pages of the present volume are all loose and detached from their place, and may very easily be lost. The first record is as follows:--The first Monday of February, in the year of our Lord, 1674. At a meeting of the inhabitants of Meadford, Mr. Nathaniel Wade was chosen constable for the year ensuing. The chirography is very good, the sentences properly constructed, and the spelling without error. There are Latin quotations in them. Only six pages of Mr. Jonathan Wade's records remain. As it was customary to keep the town-records in the same hands as long as possible, it is fairly presumed that this gentleman was the second, perhaps the first, town-clerk. His successor was Mr. Stephen Willis, who remained in office thirty-six years, ex

there was so much heartburning at the placing of the people, that, in the true spirit of republican congregationalism, they rebelled, and chose a new committee to do the work over again. The origin of pews seems to have been in a petition of Major Wade for liberty to build one. May 25, 1696: Major Nathaniel Wade shall have liberty to build a pew in the meeting-house when he shall see reason to do so. Nothing appears in the record to explain this liberty; and therefore we are left to set Major Nathaniel Wade shall have liberty to build a pew in the meeting-house when he shall see reason to do so. Nothing appears in the record to explain this liberty; and therefore we are left to set it down to our forefathers' charity, or submission to wealth, or traditional toleration of rank.

But, although this liberty was granted to build when he saw reason, the town was nervously careful to define the form of his pew, and to fix its exact position.
