At a legal meeting held the 16th, Mar. 1779, The question was put, whether the town would reconsider a vote passed on the Sth, of this In- stant respecting carrying on the war by a rate, and it passed in the nega- tive.
May IS, 1779, the question was put, whether the town would choose to have a new Constitution or form of government made at this time, and it passed in the negative.

Thomas Stckney, as a committee for the pur- pose. Voted, to raise four thousand pounds to defray the cost and chages of raising said soldiers, 4000,001.
A story too good to remain untold is the following, which was told to me by a man who had it from the lips of one of the participants, and the truth of it is vouched for.
On occasion it was necessary to raise a number of men to fill the quota of the town in the Cotinental army, and it was decided to muster one of the companies of minute men, and call for volunteers. The call was issued, the company paraded in front of Squire Russell's Tavern and after a stirring appeal with the fife and drum "the object of the ex- pedition"was stated ; a pause ; no one responded; then an appeal to the patriotism of the men was made by the commanding officers ; still no re- sponse : the person who tells the
3-4
story suggested to the Captain the proximity of Squire Russell's bar room, and the result was a round of grog, but that had apparently, no more effect. on the lines than the fife and drum ; a second round of grog, still no man came forward, and the company broke ranks for a while, then fell in.and Squire Russell again appeared with liquid refreshment. this time more liberal than before. and it soon began to show its effect. for the next time a call was made, one man stepped to the front, then another and another until the whole company wanted to go, and the quo- ta was filled.
The currency had depreciated at the time so much that it required $13.42 of it to pay one dollar in gold or silver ; it continued to decline in value every month until the close of I780, when the new emission bills appeared. and they rapidly deprecia- ted to total worthlessness.
July 12, 1770. Voted, that the committee chosen to hire y Continen- tal and 3 Rhode Island soldiers be hereby empowered to draw
1
35
out of the Treasury of this Town nineteen hundred and seventy four pounds to pay the above said soldiers for their service.

Voted, that the committee chosen to hire soldiers be impower- ed to draw a sufficient sum of money out of the treasury to hire 2 men to serve as soldiers at Boston 3 months. Dudley Carleton, Esq., was chosen delegate to attend a Convention of State delegates July 14, at Concord. The question was put whether the Town would instruct Dudley Carle- ton, Esq., to concur with the other delegates of committees in lowering the prices of Country produce in pro- portion to the Merchants lowering the price of their Merchandize, and it passed in the affirmative.
