HISTORY OF THE
MEMOIR OF MADAM ELIZABETH ROBBINS .*
MRS. ROBBINS died September 28th, 1829, aged 84. Mr. Emerson remarked in his discourse at her funeral : "Her last sickness was very short, terminating in the compass of two days. The faith which she manifested on this occasion, appeared truly the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. In giv- ing a character of this aged and pious matron, I would say, her vivacity was remarkable, tempered and guided by truth and piety ; it was as useful as it was entertain- ing. It delightfully mingled the animation and charm of youth with the sedateness of age; the life of spring, with the ripeness and serenity of autumn. Her capacity and readiness to entertain the numerous guests of the family, when the duties of the study demanded the seclu- sion of her faithful partner, are well known. Her know- ledge of theology, especially in its practical bearings, was extensive and highly useful." Towards the close of his remarks he says, " Perhaps, ere this, she has received a crown sparkling with the memorial of many a decd the world never saw, and of which herself has to say, 'Lord, when was this, or why is it thus esteemed by thee ?'" The last friendly act performed for her was September 30th, when she was placed in the silent grave, by the side of her husband, there to wait the re-animating call of the archangel.
* A memoir of Mr. Robbins is included in the history.

A TRIBUTE OF RESPECT AND AFFECTION.
JOSEPH BATTELL, Esq., died November 30th, 1841, aged 67, after a laborious course, spent in the mercantile business, commenced in early life and pursued with energy and success ; acquiring property himself, and en- abling others to do so. A friendly adviser and ready helper, a faithful reprover of the heedless and improvi- dent and encourager of the prudent manager, kind to the needy and unfortunate, and withheld not a helping hand, even from those whose vices and negligence made them unworthy of his favor. All classes of citizens experienced his kind regard, and felt more or less the loss of him. His death was sudden and unexpected ; he had fixed on a day to commence a journey to the west, to attend to the pressing call of his extensive and im- portant concerns in that section of the country. On that day he was called to attend the funeral of Esquire Hinsdale, of Winsted; he and several of his family attended. He returned home to prepare to commence his journey on the morrow, but before he entered his house, he was attacked with apoplexy, and was carried in, in a state of apparent insensibility, and remained so until morning, when his spirit took its flight-we hope to a better world, and that his hope was exchanged for · fruition. He is dead! said his family and friends who were present. Mr. Battell is dead ! reiterated his neigh- bors and the surprised inhabitants. The echo rolled solemnly to the north and the south, to the cast and to the far west, accompanied with the admonition, Prepare to meet thy God!

In the carly settlement of this town taxes were laid by the inhabitants, from £10 to £100, and sometimes 2d., 3d., and up to 6d. on the pound, as occasion required, and collectors ap- pointed at the time, which had their respective taxes to collect.
The collectors appointed at the an- nual meetings generally collected mere- ly the ministerial tax.
4706 5074
Land-taxes were imposed by go- vernment of 2d. to 5d. on the acre, which was generally gathered by col- lectors appointed for that purpose.

It may be noticed that the amount of the grand list for 17 78 is al- most the same as in 1795. In the succeeding year it was set in dollars. It will be curious to see the gradual rise and diminution according to cir- cumstances.
