COPY OF ORIGINAL
 CHARTER OF CANAAN
Other Interesting Notes Show Division of Town
 in 1858

The following is a copy of the charter of the Town of Canaan, copied from a copy owned by the late Julia L. Norton:
 Seal of the colony of Connecticut
 under King George the second
 The Gouvernour and Company of his Majesty's English Colony of Connecticut in New England, in America, and all to whom these pres ents shall come---Greeting.
 Whereas the Gouvernour and Company in General Court assem- bled on ye second Thursday of May, one thousand seven hundred and thirty one---at Hartford---did order that the western lands on the east side of Ousatonack river---and north of the townships of New Milford and Litchfeld should be laid out into five townships, and appointed Messrs. Edmund Lewis, John Bewell and William Judd a committee to lay out the same.
 And whereas, in pursuance of said order, the said Committee laid out and surveyed the said five Townships ---one of which, in their survey aforesaid, was called the Township of c. and founded the same as fol lows (viz). For the south bounds of the township of Canaan they began at White Oak Pole at ye North West corner of the Townships of A. and run west nine and half North four miles and half to Ousatonack River, and made a monument for the southwest corner of said Town ship of c. Then began again at said White Oak Pole, which is the south east corner of ye said town ship--and run north nineteen and one half degrees, East eight miles and one hundred and forty six rods to the line of partition between the Province of the Massachusetts Bay and Colony of Connecticut, and marked a small tree and laid many stones to it for monument---stand- ing in or near the aforesaid line of Massachusetts, and is the North East corner bounds of the township of c. and has these letters set on it (viz.) E. L. W. H. B. and the said lines from the said White Oak Pole which also hath the aforesaid letters marked on it---is we'll set forth by marked trees and monuments-~-and from the aforementioned spruce tree the North line of the township of c. runs West nine degrees and half North---four miles and half and One hundred and twenty nine rods to the Oustonack River--where we made monument for the North West corner of said Township of c. It being an Elm Tree standing in the said Massachusetts line, marked, and stones laid on it, and the letters l H E L W H B set on it. Bounded North on the Massachusetts line South on the township of B---East on the township of D.-t-and West on the Ousatonack River---as by the returns made by sd. committee, bear ing date October 18th A.

shares and the town bought the building and lot from his estate in 1893.
 The hall has been used for various purposes. A private school conduct ed by William G. Peirce was opened in the lower part of the hall soon after it's completion and subsequent ly Miss Fitch, Miss Sarah Wright, N. w. Metcalf, Robert Whiting, Miss Scoville, William Blodgett and the Misses Cunning and Fitch conducted schools here.
 In 1871 the school was discontin- ued and as S. c. Beckley was ob- liged to discontinue the use of his store on account of encroachments made by the railroad, he moved his stock of goods into the room which had been used for school purposes. Mir. Beckley conducted the mercan- tile business here for several years and was also postmaster with office in this building.

POINTS CONSIDERED
 IN STANDARD D-BREDS
Size, Shape and Color Are Out
 standing Factors.
Desirable Uniformity of Excellence Tan Be Maintained In Every Practical Quality by Careful
 Selection of Breeders.

Standardized poultry, as the phrase Is commonly used in America, Is poultry bred to the standards es- tablished by the American Poultry association. The principal points con- sidered are size, shape and color, say poultry specialists in the United States Department of Agriculture.
 Size and shape are breed character stics and largely determine practical values of poultry. Many standard breeds are divided Into varieties diff fering in color. but identical in every other respect Color Is not pri- mary utility point, but as a secondary point often comes in for special con- sideration. For example, n white vu- riety and black variety of the same breed are actually identical in table quality, but because some black birds do not dress for the market as clean and nice looking us white ones, it often happens that they are not as salable.
 When q flock of fowls is kept for egg production only, uniformity in color Is much less important than ap- proximate uniformity in size and type, yet the more attractive appearance of Il flock of birds of the same color jus tifies selection for color as far as 1t can be followed without sacrificing any material point
 When n poultry keeper grows his own stock year after year. he should by all means use stock of well-es- tablished popular standard breed. By doing so and by selecting as breeders

When Town Was Divided

In 1858 the town reached crisis which resulted in division of the town. Various causes are given for the division. political sentiment, in debtedness, taxes and a general feel ing of dissatisfaction and by town vote the separation was made in 1858. The southern part of tine town retained the original name Ca naan", while the northern part of the town adopted the name North Canaan" General confusion result ed as Canaan" has been known for years as Falls Village and North Canaan as Canaan. State documents alone use the correct names. Rail road guides and time tables conform to the rule of custom and as gen eral rule letter addressed to North Canaan fails to reach it's destination for several days after it is due.
 After the division of the town the usul place for voting was transfer red from the flower corner" to a sitting room in the hotel, now known as The Garfield.
 The Housatonic Republican in June, 1858, said: "The good old town of Canaan Ga land that has flowed with much besides milk and honey or | love or money) is no more. She died last Monday and gave her place to her successors, North Canaan and Canaan, which were installed as cor porate bodies by the acts of the legal voters in which is now Canaan at their meeting in Brewster's hall, where 154 were for decapitating the old to make way for the new town, while 42 voted to hold on for a more convenient or inconvenient season."
 It was feared that the political center would be at East Canaan so a company was formed in April, 1859, consisting of several of the promi- nent men of the town, and the pres ent site of the town hall was pur- chased from John A. Hubbard. A cabinet shop stood on this site, but was moved to Railroad street and converted into dwelling house. The town building was owned by this company for several years.
