WANTED, A HISTORIAN.
As might be expected in a place growing so rapidly as Springfield, the aspect of the city is changing very fast. Any one, even, who should come here after an absence of ten years, would hardly recog- nize the place; and as for the old town of fifty years ago there is very little remaining. There are a few old landmarks left, but these, like the rest, will soon be swept away by the march of improvement. One old building that dates back to 1820, is still standing and in use,-the carriage shop of J. & W. Loomis, on the corner of San- ford and Berlin streets. This building was originally erected by the town and county for joint use as a town hall and court house, and stood where Sanford street enters Main street. For nearly or quite a century it was used for its intended purpose, and was afterwards occupied as a church chapel before being devoted to its present use. A few rods north of Cooley's Hotel there stands a small wooden building which was the first printing-office in Springfield ; and there are a few other similar landmarks still remaining to remind us of the past. There are also a few old men yet living whose minds are rich repositories of interesting facts relating to our early history ; to some extent they have furnished facts for publication ; but all that has yet been printed of Springfield's history has been fragmentary and in- complete. There ought to be a complete and comprehensive history of the town up to this time, and we cannot better close our brief sketch of the city as it is to-day, than by urging that some means be taken, either by the city government or by individuals, to give us a good history of Springfield. Much material is now available that will soon be lost, and there should be no delay in entering upon the work.
