through in many places, was a strata of soft white clay, very fine and delicate. The water was therein heavily clogged with de- posits; much more so than at present, so that a board lying in it 90 or 100 days would be completely coated over with a cin- der-looking substance from 1-16 to 1-8 inch in thickness.
As early as 1800, many people began to visit the springs as a cure for poisons and salt rheum. In 1781, George Round, my father, built a log-house near the springs and took a few boarders. In 1793, he also built a frame-house and opened a hotel. The first wonderful cure I remember of at the Springs was in 1800; a man named Shaw used the white clay at the springs upon a cancer and cured it.
About 1797, there were eight families re- siding in the immediate. vicinity of the springs, who had 113 children, 99 of whom were living and attended the same school. These families are and always have been well known in town, and I give, in the following table, the names of the heads of the families, being the husband and maiden name of the wife, and the number of children born to them, and the number alive who attended hool at one and the same time.

In these families no one of the 8 ever had more than one wife, and there was but one pair of twins in the lot ; and the extreme difference between the first-born of all these families was 16 years.
O. H. ROUND, ESQ.,
was born in Clarendon, (in the first house built at the springs), Dec. 5, 1788, and lived
in that immediate neighborhood till 1834. when he moved to Ira. He lived in Ira 3 years and then came back to Clarendon and lived in town till 1857; since which time, he has lived in Rutland principally. He was 14 years constable of Clarendon from 1817 to 1831. He was in the militia service in town 16 years (in which he became cap- tain) and never missed a training or muster in that time, commencing in 1806 and eni- ing in 1822. He was a volunteer to the bat- tle of Plattsburg, and got to Burlington after the close of the battle. In 1827 and 1828, he represented the town in the House of Representatives of Vermont, and was a member of the Constitutional Convention at Montpelier at about the same time. He has held every office in town except town clerk, and when he was in town, no one else was thoughit of for moderator of our town meet- ings. He was a man of great energy and endurance, and now at the age of nearly 84 is active as most men many years his junior. He has a remarkable memory and can relate the political history and tell the names of all the representatives of the town for the last 70 years. But what he justly considers the most remarkable thing about himself is that he never took a chew of tobacco, never smoked a pipe or cigar, never drank any spirits of any kind, nor paid a lawyer a fee in his life.
NAME OF CLARENDON.
Tradition says that the town of Clarendon derived its name from a man by the name of Clarendon who was the first person buried within the limits of the town.
SCHOOLS.
I have been unable to ascertain the date of the first division of the town into school districts; but the first settlers early took such measures as was in their power to place a common school education within the reach of all their children. As there was but little money in circulation, the teachers were paid in some kind of barter, generally in grain. About 1820, the "North-west," what is now the 5th district, voted to "pay Soplironia Littlefield sixty-seven cents per week, in grain, for teaching their school." The wood was generally furnished by assessing & cer- tain number of feet to a scholar, to be de- livered by lot. A new division of the town into school districts was made in 1827. At

There were 4 districts in West Clarendon in 1826, where there are but two now, in 1871. The earliest records of " District No. 1, West Clarendon" say that at a school meeting held June 27, 1508,
" Voted to build a school-house, that it stand in the corner where the road that comes from Lewis Walkers interferes with the road that leads to the mill." "Voted that the property be paid in grain by the first of June next."

ADDITIONAL PAPER FOR CLARENDON.
BY HON. JOHN L. MARSH.
The township of Clarendon lies in the cen- tral part of Rutland County ; lat. 43º 31' and long. 4º 6'; bounded N. by Rutland, E. by Shrewsbury, S. by Wallingford and Tin- diction over that part of her original territory.
Thompson) in 1761, both by New Hampshire and New York, and comprehended a part of the two grants of Socialborough and Durham. This is probably a mistake as to New York, as the writer of this has the copy of a map containing a survey by William Cockburn, a deputy New York surveyor, which he entitles "A map of the south part of Socialborough, as run into lots A. D. 1771." Ten years, therefore, after it was granted by the Gov- ernor of New Hampshire, it was recognized by the New York authorities as Socialborough.
The town, however, according to its orig- inal charter, was 6 miles square. Before, however, there were any settlements made in the south part of the town, land jobbers, liv- ing south, making a business of enriching themselves by surveying unoccupied lands, assuming they were "vacant lands" ( that is, lands lying between the chartered limits of towns or between surveyed lots, when the lines of adjacent towns or lots did not join), surveyed considerable land in the south part of the town, adjacent to Wallingford and Tinmouth, had their surveys recorded in those towns, sold the land to settlers as being a part of those towns, and, being nearer a settlement begun in the north part of the town of Wallingford (indeed the Wallingford settlement was on or near the line between the two towns) ; the inhabitants, purchasers of these lands, supposing their lands were a part of those towns, acted with their inhabi- tants, and in consequence of the controversy between New Hampshire and New York and the breaking out and continuance of the war of the Revolution, the people of Clarendon had enough on their hands without investi- gating the question of town limits; inasmuch as individual rights had not been trespassed upon. Therefore, no action was taken upon the subject till many years afterwards, by the town of Clarendon.
It was then ascertained, by a survey, that a strip of land, originally within the char- tered limits of Clarendon, across the south side of the town, from half a mile to a mile or more in width, had from the first settle- ment, been claimed by those towns, and the business associations of the inhabitants living on this strip of land, had become so identified with the interests of those towns, that the town of Clarendon has never assumed juris-

The inhabitants living on the west side of the hill, adjacent to the town of Ira, be- lieving it for their interests, because they could with less travel get to the business centre of Ira than to that of Clarendon, peti- tioned the legislature, and, in 1854, were set off to and made a part of that town : so, through the cupidity of some, and for the convenience of others, the town of Clarendon has been considerably shorn, on her southern and western borders, of her original territory.
In 1763, Randall Rice, Elkanah Cook, Benjamin Johns, Samuel Place, Elisha Wil- hamns and probably some others, came into the town, and selected locations ; but it does not appear that there was anything done towards a permanent settlement until the next year, when the most of these returned with their families, and commenced a settle- ment-Rice and Johns near the central part of the town, on the east side of the Creek, and with them, the same year, came Stephen Arnold ( who was the paternal great grand- father of the celebrated Stephen Arnold Douglas), and located a little south of Rice and Johns. Place, Cook and Williams com- menced in the north part of the town, known then as Socialborough; and the same year (1769) came Jacob and Amos Marsh (broth- ers), and Dan'l and Wm. Marsh (brothers) and nephews of Jacob and Amos Marsh ; and Whitefield Foster and Oliver Arnold, from Rhode Island and Connecticut, and selected each a lot of land on the east side of Otter Creek, being the six north lots in what is now the town of Clarendon-then the six south lots in the town of Socialborough.
The title to their land, they derived from John Henry Lydius, who claimed a large tract of land lying on the east side of Lake Champlain, and extending east to the foot of the Green Mountains, by a grant from the Indians, among whom he had acted as mis- sionary .* They left their families in Rhode
* Rev. John Lydius was the minister of the Dutch Reformed Church in Albany and Schenectady, and ca. ly in 1702 he came over from Holland. He died in 1710. John Henry Lydiu-, his son, was a prominent Indian trader in the Colony of New York; weut to England in 1776, and died at Kensington near London, in 1791 aged 93 years. He obtained a grant from the ludians of a tract of land lying south of Rutland (now forming a part of Clarendon) which he called Durham, and com- menced a settlement on it. Learning that his Indian title was not reliable, he obtained letters patent from the State of New York of the tract iu confirmation of
Island and Connecticut (their former home=) and labored the first season in building log houses on their respective lots, and clearing a piece of land to subsist their families in the future.
They brought with them a cow, and such bread-stuffs as their means would allow; de- pending upon fish and game for their princi- pal support. They worked together-detail- ing one of their number each week to procure the game and fish, milk the cow, and do the cooking.
At the close of the season, their united labors had erected five comfortable log- houses, and cleared a sufficient piece of land, in the vicinity of each, for crops the coming season, to warrant them in bringing their families with them, on their return the next Spring. They, therefore. all returned to their former homes, except William Marsh, who, having no family, concluded to go north and spend the Winter, perhaps in Montreal, and join them again in the Spring.
The five returned with their families, the next spring, with such household effects as they could conveniently bring with them, which in these days, would be considered a very meagre outfit, but which, with their own inventions and appliances, they made sufficient to subserve their necessities.
William Marsh did not return, and his friends, notwithstanding many anxious in- quiries, never heard of him afterwards.
Previous to 1771, James Rounds, and a Mr. Hills, had taken lots on the west side of the Creek, and commenced improvements.
Ten families, therefore, were all that had settled in the north part of Clarendon, (then Socialborough) as late as 1771. A number of families had joined those, who had settled
his title. But New Hampshire also granted the same lands, and the grantees under this title took measures to drive off the settlers under Lydius, and thus forced them to buy in their lands also under the grant of New Hampshire. Some, however, declined this, and they were tried by the old Council of Safety and con- demned to serv.tude during the pleasure of the Coun- cil. Ethan Allen afterwards arrested one of these of- fenders (named Oliver Colvin) and re-tried him, and sentenced him to banishment in the enemies' lines ; Gov. Clinton set him at hibe ty again, and he then pe- titioned Gov. Chittenden to return to his family and stay so long as he behaved as a friend of the United States. But Chittenden told him he was an Old Yorker and should not live in this State. Lydins had a man- sion on the Hudson near Fort Edward. (Doc. Ilist. of N. Y., vol. ili. p. 893, and vol. iv. p. 956.)-David Read.

CLARENDON.
Es:cher south, and commenced a settlement ca what has since been known as the South Flats. A settlement was also commenced in the south-east part of the town, (known since as East Street) as early, probably, as 1772 or 1773, by Ichabod Walker, a Mr. Nichols, and a Mr. Osborn. These three families first located in the eastern part of Socialborough (sow Rutland), where they were in 1771.
It should be stated in this connection, that the families before alluded to, who settled on the east side of Otter Creek, in Clarendon, came mostly from Rhode Island, and adja- cent parts of Connecticut. They were con- nected together, either by family ties, or ties of friendship, and came, not for the purpose of speculation, but for the express and sole object of making permanent homes, in what was then an unbroken forest.
Their first desire was to obtain a good title to their farms, and soon ascertaining there was doubt in regard to the grant under Ly- dius, they examined and investigated, so far as they were able, the different and conflic- ting claims to these lands, by New Hamp- shire, under Benning Wentworth, and by the state of New York. Having come to the conclusion, that the best title they could possibly obtain, was from New York, they purchased additional deeds under this title accordingly.
During the eight years of war ensuing, be- tween this country and Great Britain, all the settlers in Western Vermont, were more or less disturbed in their possessions and ti- tles. Claimants, under New Hampshire, fre- quently ejected those holding under New York, while the New Hampshire men were ejected in return.
During all this turmoil, and unsettled state of things, trespassers and "squatters," seemed to thrive exceedingly ; for without a shadow of title, they boldly took possession of the best tracts of land they could find, that happened to be temporarily vacated. This state of things invariably resulted, not only in quarrels and expensive litigations, but in criminations and recriminations, intensify- ing in feeling and bitterness, during, and long after the close of the war.
Those who once obtained possession of land, whether under one title or another, or under no title, invariably stigmatized those, who attempted to enforce their rights against them, by recovering their lands, as " tories,"
and, by thus doing, endeavored to create a public sentiment in their own favor, and against any actual claimant who ventured to disturb them.
History shows that this was peculiarly the state of things in Clarendon, and that many atrocities, were, in consequence, committed. And, indeed, it was not until long after the Revolution, and the organization of the State Government, that an act was finally passed by the Legislature, commonly termed thie " Quieting Act," that settled and adjusted most of the conflicting claims and titles to real estate.
This bill was originated and advocated by Daniel Marsh who was a member of the Leg- islature from the town of Clarendon for quite a number of years.
SOLDIERS' RECORD.
The town of Clarendon furnished the fol- lowing soldiers for the suppression of the slaveholder's rebellion, as shown by the reports of the Adjutant General of Vermont, for the years 1864 and 1865 :
First Regiment, three months men, mustered into service May 2, 1861: mustered out of service Aug. 15, 1861.

TO FRANCE.
BY H. B. SPOFFORD. Around thy hills, O stricken France, Dark Langs the sulphurous battle-cloud,
In valley gleams the foeman's lance, Round Paris rolls his thunders loud !
O! where is he whose chainless soul All Europe's host undaunted met, When Danube heard his drum's wild roll And Wagram dimned his bayonet.
Marengo's cloak is round him cast, And Jena's blade is by his side ; But where is now his trumpet's blast, And where the soldiers of his pride ?
