To aid in putting these soldiers in the field, the town voted, Aug. 8, 1862, a bounty of $100 to each volunteer. On the 1st of

August, 1863, a bounty of $300 was voted to each drafted man, under the Act of Congress of 3d March, 1863. The last war town meeting was hold Sept, 21, 1864-when it was voted to assume and pay all the expenses that had been incurred by individuals in procuring their substitutes during the existence of the war. This covered the whole ground, and there was no further need of town meetings.

The total amount paid by the town for the war, was $16,057.25 -by individuals from their private means, about $4,000.

The population of the town by the census of 1870, was 920-a loss of seventy-two from the census of 1860. These inland towns are constantly losing their population-their best young men, by western emigration.

From the North Congregational and Methodist churches, the writer, after repeated and earnest solicitations, has received no report. The history of the North Congregational church, since the last edition, was substantially given in Rev. John Churchill's very acceptable address at the Bi-Centennial of the old 1st Church, in 1870. Since this gentleman's resignation, some four years ago, the North Church has "heard" about 100 candidates to insure the "acceptable preaching" of the "word" to that people, and within a few weeks the Rev. Mr. Wyckoff has been by them accepted and settled, with the general concurrence of the people, and with the belief that he will do an acceptable work in that promising vineyard of the Lord.

Our Methodist brethren are laboring hard in their “Zion " for the salvation of souls, with very good success.

The Roman Catholics have not yet a church edifice in this town for their religious services, but they have the "liberty" of our commodious Town Hall, with the consent of all the "Protestants," and have services there as often as priests can be obtained to officiate.

ST. PAUL'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH, WOODBURY.

By request of the writer, the following items have been furnished by Rev. John Purves,-Ministers since 1852.

From April, 1863, to March, 1871, there were baptisms, 10186 children and 15 adults-45 persons confirmed-64 added to the communion, and 60 lost from it.-62 Burials, and 33 Marriages.

In 1871, there were 80 families, 104 communicants, 16 Sunday School Teachers, 73 Scholars. In 1855 the Church edifice, erected in 1785, was altered, repaired and beautified, under the direction of Mr. Walter P. Marshall. The Centennary of the settlement of the Rev. John Rutgers Marshall, the first Rector of the parish, was in November, 1871. Within the five years previous to 1871, the parish lost several of its venerable and most valuable members-three of its Wardens-Benjamin C. Peck, Gideon Botsford, and Benjamin Doolittle; also Ephraim B. Peck, James Moody, Phineas A. Judson, and many others, by death and by removal.

While these pages are passing through the press, the Centennial Anniversary of St. Paul's Church is being celebrated. Rev. John Purves, the Rector of the Church, has very kindly furnished the writer with an account of the proceedings, which here follows:

"COMMEMORATION SERVICES. The parish of St. Paul's, Woodbury, Litchfield county, Conn., is one of the oldest in the diocese. From 1723 to 1771, it had occasional services from the Rev. Mr. Pigot, the Rev. Dr. Johnson, of Stratford, the Rev. Mr. Beach, of Newtown, and other missionaries of the Venerable Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign parts.

"The parish was organized as an Episcopal Society in 1740. In the autumn of 1771, the Rev. John Rutgers Marshall, who had been educated with a view to the Dutch Reformed ministry, but had conformed to the Church, went to England, and having received Holy Orders at the hands of the Bishop of London, returned to Connecticut as a missionary of the Society, and was settled at Woodbury. Mr. Marshall exercised his ministry in troublous times. He suffered persecution and bodily injury at the hands of men whose hearts and minds were ignorantly prejudiced against the Church, but he patiently endured and peacefully discharged his sacred duties, laying foundation principles of Apostolic faith in the hearts and minds of many.

"In 1785, by the liberal use of his own means, he commenced the building of the present church edifice, but he did not live to see it fully completed. In the year 1789, while yet in the full vigor of his powers, in the eighteenth year of his ministry, and
