There was also a block house on the neck so called, near the falls, in which, during times of danger, the in- habitants watched b}^ turns. Town Officers. — One thing which contributes greatly to the respectability, the moral habits, and indeed to the prosperit}^ of a town, is the appointment of suita- ble men to transact its public concerns. And I am happy to observe, that the records of this town, carry with them strong internal evidence, that such has been the character of a very great propor...tion of the men, who have, at different periods, had the conducting of its affairs. In the early settlement of the town, the se- lectmen appeared to have been considered the fathers of the town ; and accordingly were from j^ear to year, for a great period, empowered by the town, to manage all its "prudential affairs according to the best of their discretion. " And if any opinion can be gathered from the town rec- ords, they merited the confidence placed in them. I do not find an instance, in which there is the least evi- dence of any dissatisfaction on the part of the town, for what they did, unless the raising a school committee in the year to manage the concerns of the schools, which had, before this, been left with the selectmen, was such.
