A brief examination of the first-named work would force one to conclude that, however brilliant a poet Mr. Hilliard may have been, he was not a master of prose. His nouns, adjectives, nominatives, and verbs are so commingled, that it is difficult to separate them ; but in his preface Mr. Hilliard ob- serves that he has written for persons of limited ed- ucation. and had not therefore adopted a lofty and

flourishing style-a fact which explains, perhaps, the somewhat ungrammatical construction of his sen- tences. An extract from his poem "The Federal Pye" we will submit for the criticism of the reader. At a Federal " caucus" one Holdfast, a Federalist, arises and opens the proceedings with the following speech :
" BRETHREN, I know you see my tears, The strong expression of my fears. There's no one here that is a stranger -- Then every one must know our danger. Poor people all begin to see Their rights are gone, they are not free ; Some wicked men espouse their cause, And say they're lost by cruel laws. They have found out, as sure as death, That they are taxed for their breath. I am very sorry that our youth Should ever find out so much truth : The poor old men now make a noise And say we tax all their poor boys. Somehow or other, those poor souls Find other States don't tax their polls. They say 'tis cruel, and a sin To pay for breath which they breathe in- And now they all set up this note, If they pay taxes they will vote : They say they've found what we're about- We taxed their polls and left ours out. That faculties, and the poll tax, They wish were under the French axe, Together with all those that like ' em, And let it have one chance to strike 'em. Why, they might just as well have said They wished all Federal rulers dead. The poor will rise in every nation When they are drove to desperation." Etc., etc.

HISTORY OF REDDING.
Redding is now much sought after by invalids for its health-giving properties, but it has been occa- sionally visited by epidemics of a fearful character. Small-pox, before Dr. Jenner's discovery of inocu- lation, was a fearful scourge, and news of its appear- ance in town always excited the wildest apprehen- sion. The roads near the infected spot were at once fenced up, and no one save the physician and nurse was permitted to have any communication with the stricken family. If the disease became epidemic, pest-houses were erected in secluded localities, whither the patients were removed. Those dying of this disease were placed in a rude coffin, and buried at midnight, the clergyman standing at a safe dis- tance and reading in a loud voice the service for the dead. An epidemic called the " camp distemper" raged in the town in 1780-the year succeeding the encampment here of Putnam's division. It seems to have been of the same general character as the dysentery, but from the fact of its raging more vio- lently in the neighborhood of the camps was called the camp distemper.
A severer scourge was an epidemic that visited the town about 1810, and which displayed many of the characteristics of Asiatic cholera. Strong men were stricken down by it in a day, and there was scarcely a house where there was not mourning for the dead. In one school district alone, Lonetown, it is said that twenty died of this disease. The victims of this scourge were interred in the old cemetery near the Congregational Church. They were buried hastily, at midnight, and the Rev. Nathaniel Bart- lett, who officiated on the occasion, stood on the

ledge, a few yards south of the church, and there read the burial service, in tones so stentorian, that they were heard by residents on Umpawaug Hill, fully two miles distant.
An old account-book mildewed and mouldy, its leaves discolored by time, and its writing half illegi- ble from the same cause, may not be supposed to furnish very interesting reading ; yet if one will go through its pages carefully, he may cull much that is both instructive and entertaining.
A book of this character, 130 years old, the day- book and ledger of a former merchant of the town, furnishes the following extracts :

A Lodge of Free Masons was once in active oper- ation on Redding Ridge, as is shown by the follow- ing extract from the records of the Grand Lodge :
"Oct. 19th, 1796. A petition from sundry Free- masons residing in the towns of Redding and Wes- ton, was presented to the Grand Lodge of Free- masons then in session at New Haven, praying to be formed into a new Lodge, which petition was laid over until the next session of the Grand Lodge. At the next session of the Grand Lodge of F. & A. M. held at New Haven on the 17th May, 1797, the prayer of the petitioners was granted, and a Lodge formed under the name of Ark Lodge No. 39, F. & A. M. and William Heron was appointed Master."
At the October session 1804, of the Grand Lodge, Lemuel Sanford represented Ark Lodge, also at the May Session 1808, the October session 1808, and the May Session, 1813.
157
HISTORY OF REDDING.
In 1823, a Lodge was built by the Members of Ark Lodge No. 39, on Redding Ridge. This Lodge continued its labors until May 12th, 1839, when it surrendered its charter to the Grand Lodge.
On the 23d of December, 1869, the charter was again taken up by the following members : David H. Miller, Chas. A. Jennings, Chas. H. Canfield, Lewis Northrop, Chas. O. Olmsted, David E. Smith, H. R. Osborn, E. Thompson, Aaron H. Davis, Luzon Jelliff, Seth P. Beers and Waterman Bates, and is still working, its present Lodge Room being situated in Georgetown.
A Lodge of Odd Fellows succeeded that of the Free Masons on Redding Ridge, but only continued in active operation for a few years.
One of the earliest antislavery societies in the State was organized in Georgetown, in December, 1838. Dr. Erasmus Hudson and Rev. Nathaniel Colver were appointed by the Connecticut Anti- slavery Society agents for the evangelization of the State, and in October, 1838, entered Fairfield County in the furtherance of their mission. They lectured at Sherman, Danbury, Redding, Georgetown, and Norwalk, being driven from each place in succession by mobs who abused and threatened, and in some cases stoned them. At Norwalk they were burnt in effigy, and assailed with brickbats and all manner of missiles. At Weston they organized the first society in the county. In November a call was issued for a convention to be held in Redding (Georgetown) De- cember 12th, 1838. On the 29th November, Messrs. Colver and Hudson went to Georgetown to hold meetings. They met on Monday night in the Bap-

tist church, but the mob was so violent that the meeting was adjourned until Tuesday evening. All through Tuesday there was great commotion among the enemies of the cause, and this culminated in the evening, when a mob composed of men and boys, some with painted faces and some wearing masks, surrounded the church, and assailed it with stones, clubs, and hideous outcries. Being dispersed by the citizens the band betook itself to quieter forms of mis- chief. Dr. Hudson drove to the meeting a beautiful milk-white horse, and on that night his tail was sheared so closely that it resembled a corn-cob ; and other outrages were committed. At this meet- ing a society was organized, called the Georgetown Anti-slavery Society. The constitution of this society bears date December 4th, 1838 ; its officers were : President, Eben Hill ; Secretary, William Wakeman ; Treasurer, John O. St. John.
From the lofty ridges which form a distinguishing feature of our landscape, fine views of the Sound, the shipping, and of a pleasant country of farms may be obtained. The " Glen" in the valley of the Sau- gatuck is widely famed for its beautiful and pictu- resque scenery. The valley of the Aspetuck, in the eastern part of the town, also offers many attractions to the tourist. Little River, in the upper part of its course, flows through a wild and picturesque region, and near its western bank may be seen the well-de- fined limits of Putnam's camp. Near the camp is Phillip's Cave, so called, according to tradition, be- cause in colonial times it afforded shelter to a runa- way slave of that name, who lived here for a term of

years, and levied on the fields and poultry yards of the settlers for subsistence.
Gallows Hill, in the western part of the town, near Redding Station, was the scene of the execution of a spy and a deserter in the war of the Revolution.
CHAPTER XIII.
REDDING IN THE CIVIL WAR.
THE news flashed over the wires in 1861 that the old flag had been fired upon at Sumter, and that war was imminent, was received by the citizens of Redding with the same courage and decision that had been displayed by their ancestors at the open- ing of the Revolution, nearly a hundred years be- fore.
The old flag had been dishonored, and the Union, the inalienable birthright bequeathed by the fathers, had been declared to be at an end.
It was felt to be a time for action, for the burying of party differences, and for uniting in support of the measures which were at once adopted for over- coming the threatened evil. Public meetings were held, at which sentiments of the purest patriotism were, expressed, and volunteers hastened to enroll themselves for the defence of the flag. These acts of loyalty were supplemented by certain practical measures adopted at special town meetings, and which can be best exhibited by extracts from the town records of the period. On the 23d of April,
160

ten days after Sumter fell, the following "Notice" was issued :
"The legal voters of the town of Redding are hereby notified and warned to attend a special town meeting to be held at the Town House in said Town on Monday Apr. 29, 1861, at 2 o'clock P.M., to con- sider the expediency of appropriating funds to de- fray the expenses of the families of those who enlist in the service of the U. S. army under the present call of the President for troops.
" JOHN EDMOND, Selectmen BURR MEEKER, of
FRANCIS A. SANFORD,
Redding.
" REDDING, April 23, 1861."
" At a special Town Meeting legally warned and held in Redding on the 29th day of April, 1861, Walker Bates, Esq., chosen Moderator.
"Voted, unanimously, that an appropriation be made from the treasury of the Town, for the fam- ilies of those who have enlisted, or may enlist from the town in the service of the U. S. Government under the present call of the President for troops, the same being a call for 75,000 volunteers for the space of three months.
"Voted, unanimously, that such appropriation be as follows, to wit, three dollars per week for each of the wives, and one dollar per week for each of the children of the several persons enlisting as aforesaid, during the time of service of such person under said call.
"Voted, that a committee of three be appointed for each grand division of the town, to disburse the foregoing appropriation-such committee to receive no pecuniary compensation for their services. Sturges Bennett, Thaddeus M. Abbott, and James Sanford chosen such disbursing committee.
"Voted, that the selectmen be instructed to draw

orders on the Treasurer of the Town on application of either of the foregoing named committee, in favor of such as are entitled to an appropriation as afore- said, under the foregoing vote.
" Voted, that the selectmen be instructed to call a special town meeting as soon as practicable, for the purpose of making an appropriation for those who enlist from this town in the service of the U. S. Gov- ernment.
"The above and foregoing is a true record.
" Attest,
LEMUEL SANFORD, " Town Clerk."
A call for additional troops was issued by the President early in the summer of 1862, and a draft to fill it seemed imminent. Under these circumstances a special town meeting was held July 26th, 1862, at which it was voted, " that the selectmen be a com- mittee to correspond with the Adjutant-General, to ascertain whether if the town furnished its quota under the recent call for additional troops, it would exempt the town from a draft under said call," and the meeting was adjourned to July 31st, 1862, to await the action of the Adjutant-General. His answer be- ing in the affirmative, the meeting on reassembling, July 31st, passed this resolution : " Resolved, That a bounty of fifty dollars be offered to every volunteer from this town, who shall enlist into the service of the United States between the present time and the 20th of August next, under the present call for ad- ditional troops, such bounty to be paid to each vol- unteer enlisting as aforesaid, on certificate of his ac- ceptance from the proper authority when presented to the selectmen." A subsequent meeting held August 23d extended the time in which the bounty
12

162
HISTORY OF REDDING
would be paid to September 1st. September 1st, a meeting was held for the equalization of bounties, and the bounty of $50 was voted to all who had en- listed prior to the vote of July 31st, 1862, as well as to all who should enlist hereafter, except those en- listing under the first call of the President for troops.
The selectmen were also authorized "to borrow such sum of money as might be needed to carry out such vote. Mr. John Edmond was also appointed an agent for the town to ascertain the full numbers of those who had enlisted from the town. Six days after, September 6th, another town meeting was held and voted an additional bounty of $50 to all who had previously enlisted (except under the first call), and an additional bounty of $100 to all who should thereafter " volunteer to fill up the quota under the present call," thus making the bounty paid each volunteer $200. Throughout the war the town was anxious to avoid a draft, and made strenuous efforts to fill its quota by volunteering. July 13th, 1863, when a fourth call for troops was daily expected, a town meeting was held, and the selectmen authorized to draw from the treasury of the town and pay over as a bounty "to each person who shall or may be drafted under the next call of the United States Gov- ernment for troops, and who shall not be able to get excused for physical inability, or any other cause, the sum of $300, or such less sum as the Secretary of War shall fix upon for the procuration of a substi- tute ;" and George Osborn, David S. Johnson, and Daniel Rider were appointed a committee to procure recruits. Substantially the same plan was pursued by the town for filling its quota under the various
163
HISTORY OF REDDING.
calls of the President for troops, and so successfully, that no draft ever occurred within her limits. The sum total of the war expenses of the town is vari- ously estimated at from twenty-two to twenty-five thousand dollars.
The war record of Redding, so far as it relates to the number of men furnished the General Government, is, it is believed, exceeded by but few towns in the State. From official returns in the Adjutant-General's office, it appears that Redding furnished one hundred and eight men to the land forces of the United States-more than one fifteenth of the entire population of the town, and fully one third of all its able-bodied male inhabitants. To this number must be added many of her sons who en- listed in other towns and States. The names of these one hundred and eight soldiers constitute a roll of honor whose lustre time will not dim, but brighten, and which all good citizens will be glad to see pre- served in this enduring form. They are given with as full details as can be gathered from the somewhat meagre returns in the Adjutant-General's office.
