*The

origin of the

the tun-gerefa of the old

"selectmen" it is difficult to determine. It may possibly be referred to Anglo-Saxon township, who, with " the four best men," was the legal rep-

community, or to the "probi homines" of more ancient times. The prefix "select" would seem to indicate the best, the most approved; but, as in the Massachusetts colony, they were called, as early as 1^42, "selected townsmen," it probable that without reference to any historic
resentative of the

His sermon was never long, but some thought it a trilic pros}^ and he always preached the same one.

Daniel quickly replied, "When thee and m^- other hearers pa}' heed to my advice, then perhaps my Divine INIaster will give me something more to say." He never coveted either the wealth or honor of the world. If wanting in worldly wealth, he was

His ambition was to teach school, and at the age of 17 he turned away from this poor apology for a school, and found instruction elsewhere more congenial to his needs. At the age of 19 he accepted the charge of a school in Walton, N. Y., receiving for his services the very liberal sum, for those days, of if 9 per month, and the privilege of "boarding 'round." Having resolved that teaching should be his life-work, and not willing to be

upon each town

to instruct their representatives to advise

to dtlarc oi:r
in

national independence.

This p.issed

houses on the 5th of June.

At

town-meeting held

Baruslable on the 25lh of the same month, for the purpose of taking action upon this mai;<;r, it '< negatived by a vote of thirty to thirty-five. .Xs might )iave been expected, this courNe occasioned

much feeling en the part of the patriotic minority, and drew from them a Icnjithy protest iti writiiic, which condemned the action of the town, and p-^serted it to he the duty of every indivi'hird to civf his voice in favor of tiie recommendation of the General Court in catc the honorable Coriliner.ir.' Congress saw cause to declare these colonies independent. The document concludes with thc?< words: " We are ready and willing to stand by sui h a declaralio;'., if it should take place, tc tin* uttermost of our powers with our lives." This was dated Bari.st.-iblc, .iiine ?6ih, 1776, and anion^ the twenty-three signers to it were the signatures of Zachcus, Willi im and Nathaniel Howland.

:

The

pretty well authenti-

cated tradition

Rufus Crapo (see p. 166) was the only survivor of a French bark wrecked on Cape Cod about 16S0 to 1700. He was a small child and could speak no luiglish, and his true name was never learned. He was brought up by a Coombs family in the vicinity, from whom the late Benjamin F. Coombs, cashier of the National Bank of Commerce of New Bedford, and others in the vicinity descended, and was named Crapo, a rude spelling of the usual nickname for a Frenchman. When iie grew up,

he married and

settled in Rochester.
