"The work is done, and all now seem inclined to adopt the spirit of the proverb, 'All's well that ends well,' and so amiable and sensible a way have our people of submitting to the inevitable that the current of good- will seems now to flow on as smoothly as if nothing had ever disturbed its course.

" A good word for our new building will not, we trust, be thought out of place here. You remember how the early chroniclers used to ride on horseback frem town to town and snatch history as it was making and write it down while it was yet in the heat of action and taking shape before their eyes. It would have been indeed a cheerful task in this way to have watched the progress of the work, but, unfortunately, we had no saddle-horse, and home duties prevented us from acting on the before- conunittee, so our opportunity to view the building came last week, when we took an hour from the study of musty record-books for this purpose.

" We were first shown to the basement. Here the foundation appears firm and solid enough to resist the effects of rain and frost and March

meeting shocks for another fifty years; the space underneath will fur- nish a warm and convenient shelter for horses through the long months of our bleak winters (we will honorably except such weather as last Thursday evening furnished). It is raised enough to entitle it to the re- spect of its neighbors, and yet it is not inconveniently high ; the steeper roof and projecting eaves give it a modern appearance ; the double doors and wide stairway will prevent a crowd when our audiences are coming in or going ont.

"But the inside, hew changed ! Transformed as if by magic ! Have you ever read of the Turkish sultan who dipped his head into a tub of water at the direction of a miracle-working doctor and found himself in a strange land by the sea, where he married a wife, had seven sons and seven daughters, lived through years of vicissitudes, and at last, plunging into the sea to bathe, found himself by his own tub again, and was toll that only a moment of time had passed ? Such is the marvel wrought for us. We are glad that we can look out to-night upon familiar faces, to assure ourselves that we are still residents of our good oldl towa. The hewn eaken braces remain, suggesting strength and at the same time serving as a bond to connect the past with the present, -the old with the new.

" But now we are done with history and with the past, for this even- ing our time-honored town-house enters on a new career. Nothing about it reminds us of the worn and blackened shingles and clapboards, the high, old-fashioned windows, the antique benches and the smoky walls and ceiling. Let us hope that with these ruins will be left what- ever disfigures or mars or dishonors the manhood and womanhood of the present and coming generations.

" Many who have been actors in this work have toiled up the eastern slope, the meridian sun has shone on them and now they are fast de- scending the westward side of life. The young men are coming to the front.

" Would that it were in the power of pen and voice to speak to-night words that should eche and re-echo down the years. They would urge you to copy only the virtues of the men whose work we have been reviewing. They would entreat you to form correct ideas of truth, of honor, of honesty, of temperance, of morality and of religion. They would ask you, with all earnestness, to banish from political contests bribery and everything dishonest and dishonorable. They would beg yon to regard the motto, 80 fitly chosen, 'Peace be within thy walls, ' as a prophecy of a new and better day, for the fulfillment of which you are individually responsible. They would encourage you to seck the highest type of manliness.

" Would that it were ours to-night to dedicate these walls to pure po- litical sentiment and action, to liberty of speech, toianocent amusements, to social intercourse (divested of insincerity and falsehood), to high intel- lectual culture, to whatever is pure and noble and good and true; and, if ever the house goes back to its primitive use, to the true and reverent worship of God ! "

The first move for the dismemberment of the old town was the following vote in 1722:

"At a Regular Town Meeting held at the Meeting House in Canter- bury on Monday ye 5th day of October 1772 - Then Agreable to the fourth article in the above Warrant-

"Voted that the Southoasterly end of the Town of Canterbury be Set off as a distinct Parish, begining at the corner of the Town, at the bucks- horn beach tree, then runing Southwest acrost the Easterly end of Said Town to that corner bound-then Northwest upon the line between Canterbury and Bow, five Miles-then Northeast to Gilmantown Line- then southeast to the first bounds mentioned.
