Its lim- its are those of School District No. 8. An amount of fifteen hundred dollars is raised by tax the current year, for the purposes of the district.
YOUNG MEN'S INSTITUTE.
This association was organized in Oct. 1843. Its character is like that of similar institutions which are found in most of the N. England cities and populous villages. Although designed more particularly for young men, as its name seems to indicate, yet it embraces among its members all classes in community. The li- brary now numbers about 2000 volumes, most of which
74
TOWN AND COUNTY REGISTER.
are standard and valuable works. The Institute has rent- ed pleasant and convenient rooms in D. Bonticou's new block, opposite Court Square, for a term of years, and have placed on the table of the Reading Room, the lead- ing periodicals and newspapers of the day, for the use of the members of the association. Arrangements are made for a course of lectures this winter.
The Institute year commences the first Wednesday in Sept. The certificates of membership cost $2 per year for all over 18 years, and $1 per year for those under that age, and a certificate entitles the holder to all the privileges of the Institute.
Officers for the present year. Hon. John Mills, Presi- dent ; Ariel Parish, E. W. Bond, V. Presidents; Rev. N. Porter, Jr. Cor. Secretary ; J. R. Hixon, Rec. Secretary ; C. L. Covell, Treasurer; J. L. King, S. Bowles, Jr. J. G. Chase, Joel Holkins, B. F. Warner, Directors.
SPRINGFIELD INSTITUTION FOR SAVINGS. Office at the Springfield Bank.
The design of this institution is to afford to those who are desirous of saving their money, the means of employing it to advantage, without running the risk of losing it. as they are too frequently exposed to do by lending it to individuals, who may either fail or defraud them. It is intended to encourage the industrious and prudent, and to induce those who have not hitherto been such, to lessen their unnecessary expenses, and to save and lay by something for a period of life when they will be less able to earn a support.
Deposits or moneys put in will be received as low as one dollar, and when any person's deposites or payments shall amount to five dollars, they will be put upon inter- est. This place will be particularly useful to persons who come in possession of money received by way of wages, or any gratuity for which they have no immedi- ate use, and which they wish to lay by for a future day.
Widows and children may in this way be provided for. A young man intending to marry at a future day, and young women who may expect to change their condi- tion, can here safely lay up a sum against a time when thay may want it more.

UNITED STATES ARMORY AT SPRINGFIELD,
Is delightfully situated on State Street, about half a mile east of Main Street. The buildings, (which are all of brick,) are arranged with great taste and judgment, around a level square of twenty acres, and make a fine appearance. The water shops are situated on Mill Riv- er, about a mile south of the Arsenal. This is consid- ered the most important establishment of this kind in the United States.
It was established by an act of Congress, in April, 1794. and in the following year. 245 muskets were manu- factured. There are now, (1845,) about 12,000 made

SPRINGFIELD CEMETERY.
This ground is the property of a corporation which was organized in May, 1841. It is situated between Maple and Pine streets, and contains about 25 acres. Each individual who purchases a lot becomes a mem- ber of the corporation. The lots are sold at from 8 to 13 1-2 cents per foot.
Though but so recently opened, the improvements made are such as will amply compensate those who visit our flourishing village. for the time it will require to pass over and behold them.
The annual meeting is on the first Monday of May.

WASHINGTON TEMPERANCE SOCIETY.
It is now more than twenty years since the organiza- tion of the first Temperance Society of Springfield. The pledge of this society only required its members to ab- stain from the immoderate use of ardent spirits.
As early as 1829, another society was organized, prin- cipally through the agency of Mr. Spencer Judd, which required of its members entire abstinence from the use of all distilled liquors as a beverage. This society, how- ever, was ultimately superseded by the 'Young Men's Temperance Society,' which was organized in 1834. The present Washington Temperance Society was organized in Nov. 1841. Its first president was Chester Sexton. Those who have successively served the society in the same office, since, are Joseph Frary, Dr. James Swan, Rufus Elmer, and Dr. J. Swan, the present president, who was re-elected to office Sept. 22d, 1845. The fol- lowing are also officers of the society : Charles Howard, Elihu C. Hunt, and Chester Sexton, Vice Presidents ; A. G. Tannatt, Secretary ; and John R. Hixon, Treasurer. Its membership is nearly 4000. At a recent meeting of the society it was resolved to establish regular weekly meet- ings, to be held on Friday eve, for the transaction of busi- ness, and for brief and familiar lectures. The Executive Committee, A. G. Tannatt, A. M. Cooley, and Dr. Swan,
78
TOWN AND COUNTY REGISTER.
have also made provision for a regular course of lectures on each Sunday evening during the present season. This society has without doubt accomplished great good, but its exertions must be much more vigorous in order to correspond with the increasing demand of our commu- nitv.
The following are the names of the officers of the Hampden County Total Abstinence Society, chosen at the annual meeting, holden Oct. 9th, 1845.
Hon. Charles Sterns, President ; Vice Presidents, Hon. James Fowler, of Westfield ; Hon. Orrin Sage, of Blan- ford ; Hon. Charles Howard, of Springfield; Rev. Mr. Hodges, of Palmer; Dr. Wm.

HISTORY OF SPRINGFIELD.
Springfield was first settled in the year 1635, by Wm. Pynchon, who may be considered as the father of the town, together with other persons, who removed to this place from Roxbury, under the license of the General Court of Massachusetts. They commenced building a house on the west side of the Connecticut River, but being informed by some friendly Indians that the house would be exposed to the flood, they abandoned it, and built another on the east side. Mr. Pynchon passed the winter in Roxbury, and in the spring of the following year, 1636. returned here, with a number of others, with their families.
The original limits of the town were very extensive. including many of the present towns on both sides of the Connecticut River. The Indian name was Agawam, which name was, by a vote of the town in 1640, changed to Springfield. Some uncertainty exists as to the date of its incorporation ; most probably, however, it was in 1641. 'The town rapidly increased, and settlements were extended in every direction.
During King Philip's War, Springfield suffered with
79
TOWN AND COUNTY REGISTER.
other towns. On the 5th of Oct. 1675, an attack was made on the town by some three hundred warriors, and three men and one woman were killed, and about thirty houses and twenty-five barns were burned.
Springfield was also in part the theatre of the move- ments of the insurgents during the 'Shay's Rebellion.' In Dec. 1786, Shays, with three hundred malcontents, marched into the town and took possession of the Court house, and prevented the sitting of the court, appointed to be holden at that time. In the Jan. following an at- tempt was also made to take possession of the U. S. arsenal, which however was prevented by a force col- Jected under Gen. Shepard, who admonished the insur- gents to discontinue their approach. No heed being paid to the request, they were finally fired upon, and three men were killed and one wounded, upon which the whole body precipitately retreated.
In May, 1836, the Duo-centennial anniversary of the town was celebrated with much eclat, by a procession of civic and military bodies, an oration; and other public exercises.
The town has rapidly increased in wealth and popula- tion, and its future prospects are very flattering. In manufacturing importance it is second only to Lowell, and it is beyond doubt, destined soon to become one of the most important commercial depots in New England ; being favorably situated for river commerce, and nearly equi-distant on the line of the Western Rail Road from Boston and Albany, also the terminus of the New Ha- ven, Hartford, and Springfield Rail Road, which will soon be extended to New York, and of the Connecticut River Rail Road, which is in progress of completion to Greenfield, and will doubtless in time, be extended much farther up the Connecticut Valley.
