VILLAGES.
The town of Hadley contains two villages, both unincorpo- rated.
* Simeon Dickenson, elected in 1841, did not serve.
+ This list, down to 1863, is from the " History of Hadley," by Sylvester Judd, who has this note : " The town records, prior to 1800, seldom giving the name of the Deputy or Representative, this imperfect record, obtained from the State records at Boston, is inserted."
# From 1759, when Amherst became a district, up to 1774, the towus of Hadley, Soutb Hadley, Amberst, and Granby united in the choice of representatives.
¿ From 1858 until 1865, Hadley and South Hadley formed the 4th Representa- tive District ; Hadley, Hatfield, aud Williamsburg, until 1875, the 3d District; and the same, with Westhampton, until the present time (1879), the 5th District.
HADLEY,
the largest, settled in 1659, is situated chiefly upon the neck of the large peninsula which projects westward-within a large bend of the Connectieut River-from the western border of the town, and is somewhat south of the town's central line of latitude. It contains upward of one hundred and fifty dwel- lings, a post-office, town-hall, two chureh edifices, and a high- school building, besides four others for the minor schools ; also a grist- and saw-mill. The ancient cemetery lies immediately west of the village.
" West" and Middle Streets, running north and south, eon- tain the major portion of the dwellings, and are bordered with elms and maples of magnificent growth and graceful propor- tions, some of which have braved a century's storms. West Street, with its generous breadth of near three hundred feet, its marginal elms and intervening meadow, fronted sparsely by dwellings, some quaint and olden, its charming vista south- ward, enriched, though interrupted, by stately Holyoke, has not a peer in all New England.
Russell Street, lying east and west,-the old " middle high- way to the woods,"-is handsomely lined with forest-trees, chiefly maples.
NORTH HADLEY
is a small village on Mill River, between two and three miles north of Hadley, and near the Connectieut. It contains front sixty to eighty dwellings, a post-office, a public hall, connected with a grammar-school building, one meeting-house, a grist- and plaster-mill, a saw-mill, and a few other manufactu- ring establishments. The village has also a small park and a cemetery.
Five other thickly-settled neighborhoods are called, respec- tively, Russellville, Plainville, Fort River, Hart's Brook, and Hoekanum.
HOCKANUM.
A settlement was made at Hoekanum, the most southern portion of Hadley, between Mount Holyoke and the Connec- tieut, by Capt. John Lyman and his son Zadok, near the year 1744. They were from Northampton. There came, later, Ebenezer Pomeroy, son-in-law of Capt. Lyman, Stephen Pomeroy, Gideon Lyman and his sons, Gideon, Jr., and Elijah, Caleb Lyman, youngest son of John, Israel Lyman, oldest son of Zadok, and Ethan Pomeroy, son of Ebenezer.
A small island in the river, below the meadow at Iloekanum, was sold by Elias Lyman, of Northampton, to Zadok Lyman, in 1750, and has now become a part of the mainland.
Zadok Lyman opened a hotel in the settlement in 1746.
EDUCATIONAL.
HOPKINS SCHOOL.
A benevolent merchant-prince of London, Edward Hop- kins, Esq., came to New England in 1637, became Governor of the Connecticut Colony, and subsequently returned to England, where he died in March, 1657. By his will, a por- tion of his estate was bequeathed to four trustees, who were to dispose of the same, " to give some encouragement in those foreign plantations for the breeding of hopeful youths in a way of learning, both at the grammar school and college, for the publie service of the country in future times."'
The surviving trustees, Rev. John Davenport, of New lla- ven, and Mr. William Goodwin, of Hadley, made a distribu- tion of the fund thus ereated, in 1664, the town of Hadley eventually receiving £308 out of a total of £1220.
As an addition to the fund, the town of Hadley made the following grant of land, Jan. 14, 1667 :
" The town have granted to and for the use of a Grammar School, in this town of Hadley, and to be and remain perpetually to and for the use of the said school, the two little meadows next beyond the brook, commonly called the Mill brook, and as much upland to be laid to the same as the committee, chosen by the town, shall in their discretion see meet and needful; provided, withal, that it be left to the judgment of said committee that so much of the second meadow

shall be excepted from the said grant as that there may be a feasible and conve- nient passage fur cattle to their feed." *
This grant, which included the old Indian reservation, with its fort and burying-ground, was estimated to contain, in all, about sixty acres. By the subsequent action of the river, the area has been more than doubled. These lands are still called the "School Meadows."
According to a proposition of Mr. Goodwin, the town ap- pointed two persons, who, with three others appointed by Mr. Goodwin, were made (with himself as a life-member) a gov- erning board, with full power to manage and control the school fund and estate then possessed, and any other funds which should afterward be given to the town for the " promo- tion of literature and learning." This board was empowered to fill vacancies within itself, provided those appointed should be " known, discreet, pious, faithful persons." The persons chosen by Mr. Goodwin were Mr. John Russell, Jr., Lieut. Samuel Smith, and Aaron Cooke ; by the town, Nathaniel Dickinson, Sr., and Peter Tilton.
The trustees consenting, Mr. Goodwin built, with means from the Hopkins gift, a grist-mill upon Mill River,-the first grist-mill within the town. The mill, it was thought, would yield a good income for the school. It was garrisoned during the Indian war, and escaped injury until September, 1667, when it was burned by the savages. The trustees declined to rebuild, and sold the school's interest to the town for £10, Mr. Russell dissenting. The sale was decided by the court, in 1680, to be illegal; and after much parleying, Mr. Bolt- wood, who had come into possession of the old mill-site and made improvements, was to be indemnified by the payment, on the part of the school committee, of £138 " in grain and pork." The trustees regained possession, Nov. 1, 1683 ; but the town had not passed the title, and yet claimed a part of the land and water-power. The matter was referred to John Pynchon and John Allis, who decided adverse to the school in March, 1685, and the mill was surrendered to Samuel Boltwood, his father, Robert, having died in April, 1684.
Thus the donation of Mr. Hopkins had been nearly ex- hausted, and the small remaining fund, became a source of lively controversy. In spite of the vote of 1669, the town sought to get control of certain legacies made to the town for school purposes by Nathaniel Ward, John Barnard, and Henry Clark, and appointed a committee, Aug. 23, 1686, to demand from the school trustees the surrender of all such funds and estates, the object being to organize and conduct an English school.
