The end came at last, even sooner than expected, in the annual meeting of April, 1865, when, after reporting that the town debt at that date was $8932 .- 32, the chairman, Leonard Huntress, appended to the report of the selectmen these remarks :
" The selectmen, in addition to the foregoing report of receipts and expenditures, desire to call the attention of their fellow-citizens, in a few brief words, to matters showing more especially the town's relation to the country.
" The war has existed four years. Every call made upon us for men to put down the rebellion has been honored. Our quotas are all full. We have also a surplus to our credit of two men.
" The end now appears to be so plainly drawing nigh that we are In hopes no additional calls will be made. In fact, the spirit of liberty and of patriotism seems to be doing for the army in these last days so good & work, that we believe our ranks will be kept full.
"Since April 1, 1864, this town has furnished twenty-four men. The last one who went was our fellow-townsman, Anson B. Clark.

HISTORY OF MIDDLESEX COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS.
We mention hle care particularly because he was the first man who -Martin as a private, and by his soldierly qualitiesand good conduct was promoted to a sergeantcy Soon after his promotion he was taken pris" oner, and suffered in the ' Jabby ' and on Belle Isle until nearly used up, when he was exchanged. He now considers himself again fit for duty, has been examined and mustered in as a veteran for Hancock's Corp4.
Of those that went in the winter of 186. - 64, four are known to have ded. Their names are J Wells Merriam, Alexander Mc Donald, Hugh M. Donald and Hugh McQuarrie. Young Merriam was clerk of the Fifteenth Massachusetts Battery, stationed then at Memphis, a good w Hier, a correct officer, and an exemplary and upright man. He died after a brief ai know, beloved, we believe, by the whole command.
" The two Wi Ihmalds and MeQuarrie were not citizens of this town. Their home was Prite Edward's Island. Temporarily at work here, " v enlisted in the seventh Battery, and during the last warm season .hoy all died near the month of the Mississippi River. For all of these brate anes, and for those who have fallen before them, the town does In t tenderly cherish the memory of their gallant and heruic deeds.
' While this war laste, the gelertmen would recommend that our ex- 1" news he kept as light as practicable. If men are wanted, they must lw furnished. If we have them not, wo must find them elsewhere ; and if they cost money, we must pay for them. But as to our affairs at hotne, we recommend a rigid economy."
At the close of this report Mr. Huntress says :
" Wo would therefore suggest for the current year :
" For repairs of roads & bralges to be pd in labor (0, $1.50 per day $1200 For Schools 1200
For Current expenses 1200
As the State lax in 3000
And the county tax is . 560
And the bounty money pil to vol wh is to be assessed is . 3000
Amounting to $10,760
" We think the tax payers will prefer to pay that amount promptly rather than attempt to stagger under them.
" The Town will understand that these are only suggestions and will trent them accordingly.
" LEONARD HUNTRESS, "Chairman of the Selectmen."
A vote was passed "to render thanks to him and his associates for the efficient services of the past year in procuring troops to fill our quotas." They voted also " to assess the present year $3000, that bring the amount paid as bounties to volunteers."
With such a spirit, no wonder that the town in a very few years paid its war debt and resumed its wanted prosperity.
The list which follows gives the names of probably all the men who served the town in the War of the Rebellion. It is taken from the official record of Tewksbury.

Several men as Alonzo Marshall entered the Seventh Battalion, which was formed from Reg. 6th, Co. G.
Little of general interest remains to complete this sketch, but a few matters of more than transient im- portance are noted in the order of their occurrence.
In 1868 a second movement began for a division of the town by annexing nearly 1000 acres of the north- westerly part to Lowell. This was completed after strenuous opposition from the town in 1874. The last division of the town was in 1888, when abont 200 acres were lost to Lowell to the regret of the old town.
November, 1870, it was decided to repair the Town Hall, but in March, 1875, it was voted to build a new one,33×60 feet,at a cost of $3000, in which a vault was to be constructed at an expense not exceeding $700. This was done on the site of the old one, which was sold. The building committee was Elijah M. Read, Zephaniah P. Foster and Nathaniel Trull. The final cost was $3896.12.
Tewksbury in 1875 came into the Nineteenth Repre- sentative District, which consisted of the towns of Chelmsford, Tyngsborough, Dracut and Tewksbury, and contained 1258 legal voters, who elected one Re- presentative to the General Court.
At the November meeting in 1876, $500 was ap- propriated for the purpose of improving and beautify- ing the centre of the town, the first of a number of similar appropriations. The committee to expend this money was George A. Kittredge, Enoch Foster and Joel Foster.
The gentleman at the head of this committee was the founder of the
PUBLIC LIBRARY, which the town voted to establish at the November meeting a year afterwards, 1877. Mr. George A. Kittredge was the first chairman of the Board of Six Trustees, by whom the library is man- aged. Since the death of Mr. Kittredge, his brother, Mr. J. C. Kittredge, has held this position. To both

ofthese gentlemen the library is indebted for numer- ous gifts of books. In March, 1878, and yearly from that date, the town voted the dog tax to the support and increase of the library. In March,1879, an ap- propriation of $100 was granted for the same pur- pose. Every year since, but one, the town has given a sum iu addition to the dog tax varying from $100 to $250. The shelves now, 1890, contain 3326 vol- umes, and readers are furnished with the popular magazines. Patrons in remote parts of the town have hooks delivered at a point near their home. The circulation of books for the year ending Febru- ary 1, 1890, was 7171, including a few magazines, the largest number ever used in one year. Many competent judges have deservedly praised the selection of books, which includes the best of every class of literature, and which furnish a valuable and increas- ing help to the work of the schools. Perhaps some affluent native of Tewksbury who reads these pages, may be led to furnish a fitting home for these literary treasures. There are few better ways to perpetuate a good and ancient name, or to render money a per- manent source of good, than the establishment and endowment of Public Libraries, which make accessible to all the people the best that has been thought and written in all times.
To trace the history of even a small New England town like Tewksbury shows that it is representative of the great type to which it helongs, a form of society and government unsurpassed by any the world has ever seen. Even this comparatively small town illus- trates the principle on which the master historians of to-day proceed in the study of the great drama still unfolding-that the local history should furnish the beginning which ends in the universal. Tewksbury stands connected with the great world wide current. The town had a share in every change and movement of the land. Her social life was part of the life of the day. Often a vote, a phrase, a single word or name from her records brings up a past which belonged to that entire ancient world which seems to most men like the stuff dreams are made of. Even here the old adage is true that "Every road leads to Rome. "
