22 FARM ECHOES. 



known to call for any extended publicity at my hands. 

 Interesting histories of this town have been written by 

 Hon. George C. Woodruff and by Mr. Payne K. Kilbourn, 

 who narrate numerous thrilling incidents connected with 

 the Indians iii the early settlement of the town, and with 

 the War of Independence, Litchfield having been an im- 

 portant depot for military stores and provisions, at the 

 latter period. From these historians I shall make several 

 extracts. 



The Indian deed of this town was executed March 2, 

 1715-16. It may gratify some of my readers to know by 

 whom it was signed, though I do not suppose they will 

 recognize among the signatures those of any old personal 

 acquaintances, unless it be one in the list who certainly 

 has numerous descendants at the present day, scattered 

 everywhere, and I fear not a few of them "descend" 

 fearfully low. It is correctly placed as the second " C," 

 so liable is it to cause people to see double. Who that 

 seeks the companionship of such a crooked thing as a 

 "corkscrew" can expect to keep straight ?
