ERRATA.
I beg the indnigent reader to pardon and correct the following errors : - Page 71, 6th line from the top, for " Capt.," read Lieut.
Page 71, 18th line from the top, for " Lothrop Chaffee . . resides," read William P.
Chaffee . . . lately resided.
Page 156, 15th line from the top, for " 1826," read 1825.
Page 175, 14th line from the top, for " Samuel L.," read Samuel M.
Page 177, 5th line from the top, for " Samuel L.," read Samuel M.
Page 178, 9th line from the top, for " Horace," read Robert O.
Page 249, 17th line from the top, for " Givesey," read Livesey. Page 255, 10th line from the top, for " Inkermann," read Balaklara.
Page 271, bottom, for " Edwin " read Edward.
Page 278, 15th line from the top, for " Budy," read Bridgman.
In the notice of " Slavery in Wilbraham," page 267, I said I knew nothing of Cæsar's end. I have since learned that he lived, till his death, in the Merriek family ; was well cared for, nursed, and religiously instructed; died in the Christian faith, and was buried in the burying-ground.
I learn, as another item, that since the incorporation of the town, June, 1763, to June, 1863, one eentury, there have been : - Births, 3,940; deaths, 1,605 ; marriages, 941; and mar- riages of parties solemnized in other towns, 32. These, added to Warner's record, page 282, make the number of births, from the settlement, 1731, to 1863, 4,306; deaths, 1,670.
