near to this for a mere nominal sum, to enlarge the burying-ground.
After the dedication of the house, Rev. Charles Calkins supplied the pulpit most of the time previous to Mr. Warren's coming into town.
(II) Rev. J. F. Stone was installed Jan. 6, 1839; dismissed June 9, 1847. Rev. A. G. Pease began to labor with the church the first of Aug. 1847; was in- stalled Sept. 5, 1849; dismissed Jan. 26, 1853. Rev. C. C. Parker began his labors the first Sabbath in June, 1853; was in- stalled Jan. 7, 1854; dismissed Jan. 16, 1867, the dismission taking effect after the second Sabbath in March following.
(12) These were probably the most general and extensive revivals, particularly the last, in the history of the town, and their results, both as respects the number of individuals, and the marked and per- manent influence upon the character of the subjects, and their influence on com- munity generally, are widely felt to this day. Different denominations united in frequent meetings in harmony and com- munion of Christian fellowship, each re- ceiving considerable accessions to their numbers. In the last-mentioned revival the village was chiefly interested, Elders Pier and Foster taking a prominent part in the services of the large meetings held on almost every evening of the week.

METHODIST CHURCH.
This church was organized by Elder Stebbins, it is said, about the year 1800, consisting of the following-named indi- viduals : Thomas Guptil, first class-leader, and wife, John Henderson and wife, Tim- othy Parcher and wife, John Jones, David Straw and wife, John Hudson and wife, Joseph Fiske & wife and Simeon Woolson & wife. The year following, Stephen Jones
and wife, George Scagel (subsequently many years class-leader), and wife, and Lemuel Lyon and wife were added to the class. These last three men were long- time, prominent members. At later pe- riods, Moses Nelson, Nathan Nelson, Samuel Bryant, Benjamin Fiske and others united and became active members. This church has given to the ministry of the de- nomination four of its young men, two of whom, Orrin Gregg and Araunah Lyon, are now in the ministry ; Chester Lyon is not living. In 1836 a new church was formed in the village ; among the first and prom- inent members may be named: John La- throp, Paul Dillingham, C. C. Arms, Wm. Carpenter, A. A. Atherton and A. S. Richardson.
THE BAPTIST CHURCH,
formed in 1800, was constituted of few members. The following are the names of some of them : Ezra Butler and wife, Mrs. Densmore, Mrs. Silas Loomis. Dea. David Atkins, Edmund Town, Orrin At- kins and Mercy Nelson (afterwards Mrs. Green), Mrs. E. Town, Mrs. Atkins and Mr. Densmore soon after united. At later periods, Deacon Paul Dillingham, Deacon Chester Whitney and Guild Newcomb joined. But in 1819, Aug. 6, the church was re-organized, or a new one formed, consisting of the following-named mem- bers : Ezra Butler, pastor ; Paul Dilling- ham and Chester Whitney, deacons ; Try- phena Butler, Polly W. Whitney, Anna Peck, Isaac Stevens, Richard Kneeland, Guild Newcomb, E. Town, Robert Brod- erick, John Atkins, Temperance Atkins, Mercy Green, Mary Hart, Hannah Dilling- ham, Sally Broderick, Betsey Parcher, Silena Brown. In the year following, 1820, 22 members were added. Among them the names of the following male members appear : Job Dillingham, Seth Town, Isaac Marshall, Jr., Arad Worces- ter, C. C. P. Crosby and William Smith. The house of worship built in 1832 was removed, and a new one built in 1859 or 1860.
THE FREE-WILL BAPTIST CHURCH
was organized about the year 1817 or '18, and included the following named, and

WATERBURY.
perhaps other individuals : Samuel Lord, Deacon Conant, S. Gaskell, Asa Town and wife, Ira Town and wife, Deacon Abner Fuller, John Cotton and wife, and Elisha Town. Elder Bowles took part in the services. Elder Lord was ordained at this time, or soon after, pastor. Elder Lord was born in Barnsted, N. II., 1779; began to preach when quite young in his native town; afterwards moved to Ver- mont, living several years in Walden, and from that place came to Waterbury in 1811, where he spent the remainder of his life of 70 years. Unassuming in his de- portment, he was more desirous of doing good than gaining applause.
THE ADVENT CHURCH
was formed in May, 1858 ; about 40 united in this organization. The services were conducted by Elder Joshua V. Himes, who had previously held a series of meetings, continuing several weeks, in the hall of the Washington House. The Advent meeting-house was dedicated in the winter of 1859.

PAPERS FURNISHED BY RUSSELL BUTLER, ESQ. LEADING TOPICS FIFTY YEARS AGO.
Upon the review of the events of about half a century ago, we find some remark- able coincidences. Within a very few years before, and subsequent, was a time of extensive religious revivals in many parts of our country and in this town. At about the same time, temperance, anti- slavery, and anti-masonry became subjects of great public interest, and whether these were all kindred in character with the reli- gious movement or not, they all seemed to be supported on the principle of public morals. Each had its period of novelty and excitement, each its time of calm dis- cussion, and each its decline in the public interest. What is most remarkable is their near contemporariness. Perhaps no time in history before or since, have all these subjects simultaneously so deeply
engaged the public mind, nor is it proba- ble they will ever again so occupy the public mind of our community, till some generations have passed away and new combinations of circumstances occur. The public mind acting as a whole is subject to the same laws as the individual mind ; when it has thoroughly canvassed a sub- ject and formed a deliberate decision, it is disposed to rest in that decision as entirely satisfactory, if no new, valid opposite evi- dence is adduced. The man who has viewed the temperance or the slavery ques- tion in their different aspects, and made his verdict deliberately, does not care to review or pass through his experiences a second time.

ANTI-SLAVERY.
The New England Anti-Slavery move- ment, led by William Lloyd Garrison, was formally organized in Boston, Jan. 6, 1832, and followed by a National Anti-Slavery Society in Philadelphia, December 1833. Anti-slavery principles soon found friends and advocates in Waterbury, and by the circulation of papers and the labors of lec- turers, became a strong moral force in the community. The movement was opposed for a time as a disturbing element in politics, though not then a party organization, as it became to some extent, later. As evi- dence of the zeal and liberality of Water- bury Abolitionists, it may be stated that upon a call of the State Society for pecu- niary aid, in 1839, one of the delegates pledged $100 from Waterbury and Dux- bury, to be raised within the year. This, was one twentieth of the amount asked from the State, and was the highest sum pledged by any town. When the paper was circulated in Waterbury, two individ- uals subscribed $100 each, while smaller contributions in both towns increased the sum to nearly $500, more than one-fifth of the entire sum called for. At that time $100 contributed for the sole purpose of helping to create public sentiment in behalf of a philanthropic cause, was a large sum ; and the citizens whose liberality deserves mention in a history of these times are Amasa Pride and Erastus Parker. They

were men ever ready to help a cause that they believed worthy of support.
All the subscriptions were paid.
ANTI-MASONRY.
After a lapse of 50 years since the origin of Anti-masonry, and 40 years since its disappearance in political discussions, most people of the present time are little acquainted with its history. With no pur- pose of discussing its merits, or demerits, we cannot as chroniclers of the town do less than to refer to this chapter of its po- litical history, no more to be suppressed or omitted than any other matter equally po- tent in its influence on the public mind.
Anti-masonry as a question of morals, human rights, or political expediency, had no little influence upon the affairs of its period. So long time has passed, that the reader will wish for some account of its rise, growth and decadence.
