At the constitutional convention, held January, 1889, an amendment was passed and ratified at March election, allowing all classed towns to send a representative to the legislature such proportion of the time as the population of the towns bear to six hundred. Brookfield, having a population of a little more than four hundred, will therefore be entitled to send a representative two thirds of the time after JJanuary, 1890.
At the March meeting, 1889, the town voted on the articles submitted by the constitutional convention. On the fifth (prohibitory) amendment the vote was thirty-nine in favor, thirty-one against.
According to a report made to state authorities, these statistics are given for 1888 : pounds of butter made, 6,700; cheese, 2,240 ; gallons of milk sold, 550; wool grown, 904 pounds ; commercial fertilizer used, 7.75 tons; received from summer boarders, $200.

CHAPTER XXXVIII.
Wakefield - Original Name - Incorporation - Changes - Surface - Bodies of Water - Extract from Proprietors' Records - Petition for Incorporation - First Town Officers - Civil List.
T HE church and town records of Wakefield are in spots quite bare, yet we can read between the lines, and image somewhat in our minds the lives of those settlers who were the first to identify themselves with this township, known sinee August 30, 1774, as WAKEFIELD. Perhaps the name was given by some admirer of the famous " Vicar of Wakefield," or its author, Oliver Goldsmith, whose works were then in their early fame, and who died that very year in April. Wakefield, in England, in Yorkshire, long before had a history ; a very ancient town, the site, some suppose, of an old Roman village as early as the fifth century, certainly having a corn-market down to now from the time of the Saxons before the ninth century, and in the eleventh allotted in the Norman conquest in Domesday Book and recorded as Wackefield ; later made famous by the battle of Wakefield, December 31, 1460, when Margaret, the queen of the imprisoned Henry the Sixth, fought with Richard, the duke of York, who there met his death, the claimant to the throne for his son, who in a few months was indeed hailed by the people as king and crowned " Edward the Fourth." Our Wakefield is but a stripling in years compared with that old town. But into these years much has been put, making its name to many sacred.
Wakefield was incorporated August 30, 1774, by its present name by Gov- ernor John Wentworth ; prior to this time it was called East Town, under a grant from the Masonian Proprietors. By act of the legislature approved June 22, 1820, a gore of land, containing all that belonged to Wakefield on the northerly side of Province pond, was severed from this town and annexed to Effingham. June 23, 1858, an act was passed severing a tract of land from
463
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD.
the town of Milton and annexing it to Wakefield. This town lies in the eastern part of the county. Its surface is diversified with hills, rocks, and ponds. The soil, when brought under cultivation, is very productive. It is bounded northwest by Ossipee and Effingham, east by Newfield, Maine, south- east by Milton, and southwest by Middleton and Brookfield, and is fifty miles northeast from Concord.
East pond (Lake Newichwannoek), lying partly in Wakefield and partly in Acton, is on the line dividing New Hampshire and Maine, and is about three miles wide and six miles long. A little below the outlet of East pond is Wil- ton's pond, and below that is Horn's pond. Each of the three ponds is owned by the Great Falls Manufacturing Company. They have a canal thirteen feet wide, sixteen feet deep, and one hundred and forty-five rods long, at the outlet of East pond, where the original rise and fall of water was five feet, and now twenty-one feet, at a stone dam eighteen feet thick and thirteen feet wide, enabling them to draw off the water whenever they may need it for their works at Somersworth. Salmon Falls river takes its rise from East pond, and divides the state from York county in Maine, until it reaches Berwick, where it takes the name of Newichwannock, until it meets the Cocheco river from Dover, forming a branch of the Piscataqua river. Lovewell's pond is on the southeast side of Wakefield, and is about seven hundred rods long and two hundred and seventy-five rods wide ; the right to the water is also owned by the Great Falls Manufacturing Company, and kept by them as a reservoir. One branch of the stream that carries the mills at Union village takes its rise in this pond, and the other branch takes its rise from Cook's pond, in Brook- field. Province pond is about four hundred and fifty rods long and four hun- dred wide, in the northeasterly part of Wakefield, and is a very pretty sheet of water, having no mill privilege at the outlet. Pine River pond is on the north part of this town, and is about one hundred rods long, and about the same width. Pine river takes its rise in this pond, flowing through Ossipee and Effingham into Ossipee lake.

Terms of Charter. - By the terms of the grant to the proprietors, April 27, 1749, the land was divided into one hundred shares, and each lot of land was to contain, when surveyed, one hundred acres. "One of the shares should be for the first minister of the gospel who might be settled in the town and continue here during his life, or until regularly dismissed." "Another of said shares should be for the support of the gospel ministry. The one- hundred-acre lots belonging to those shares to be laid out as near the site of the meeting-house as might be conveniently done. That there be six acres of land left in some convenient place for building a meeting-house and school- house upon, and to be used as a training-field, a burying-place, or other public uses, as the inhabitants may have occasion to improve it for. One other of said shares shall be for the use and maintenance of a school forever." It was further provided that the grantees should settle thirty families in town within four years after the close of the war then raging between the English and the French and Indians, each family to have a house at least sixteen feet square and three acres of land cleared and fitted for mowing and tillage, and that ten more families should be settled by the end of five years from the close of the war; and that within six years from the Declaration of Peace a meeting-house should be built, and that the preaching of the gospel should be maintained from the end of seven years.
