The practice is a good\\none. The traditions of past events are always fading from the\\nmemories of successive generations and, unless they are written\\nand printed, many of them will be lost beyond recovery. It hap-\\npens already that the existing inhabitants of towns, the histories of\\nwhich have not been published, are but slightly acquainted with\\nthe events that moved the hearts, and aroused the energies, of their\\nprogenitors. This has been made very evident in our case by\\nmany unsuccessful attempts to obtain information in reference to\\nthe early history of Dublin. Passing events have so absorbed\\ninterest and attention, that the transactions of former times\\ntransactions, too, which have made or marred their own fortunes\\nhave received little or no consideration. The aged, it is true, are\\napt to dwell upon the past while the young look intently to the\\nfuture, speculating more upon what will be than upon what has\\nbeen. But the history of the past, even in a small town, contains\\nlessons from which those who now live, even the young, may learn\\nwisdom for the futui-e. Many instructors of youth have urged the\\nimportance of beginning the study of geography with that of their\\nown town. If they are right, then the same may be urged, to\\nsome extent, with regard to history, which, if thus begun, cannot\\nfail to have in the minds of the young a more living reality.", "height": "3308", "width": "1825", "jp2-path": "historyofdubn00doob_0011.jp2"}, "10": {"fulltext": "To some persons it may seem a work of little labor to prepare\\na history of a small, retired country town, whose existence dates\\nback only one hundred years. To others it may seem to be a\\nlabor not worth the pains. The Committee of Publication are\\nexperimentally certain that what they have done with regard to\\nthe preparation of the History of Dublin has cost them no small\\namount of labor. Of what value the result of their labor may\\nprove to be must be left to the judgments of those who read the\\nbook. These judgments will be various. Some persons will not\\nfind in it what they looked for, and others will find what they did\\nnot look for. Both may feel disappointment, and perchance find\\nfault. To the native-born citizens of Dublin, whether resident or\\nemigrant, we trust the book will not be wholly without interest.\\nIt was not the design of the Publishing Committee at first to\\nmake so large a book. The printing of the Address, with the\\nProceedings of the Centennial Celebration, and some documents\\nalluded to in the Address, was all that was contemplated. But, on\\nfurther consideration, they concluded to add other matter, which\\ncould not properly be comprehended in an address on a public\\noccasion. Some repetition of facts stated in the Address were\\nintroduced, in order to keep up a connection in the matter added,\\nand to avoid too frequent reference. Although a large portion of\\nthe additions are rather materials for a history than a history itself,\\nyet, in connection with the Address and the Proceedings of the\\nCentennial Celebration, we trust the book will be found to contain\\na tolerably complete history of the town from its first settlement to\\nthe present time.\\nThe Registers of Families occupy more space than was at first\\napprehended. In order to make them uniform, it was found neces-\\nsary to recopy the whole number furnished. Many of them, how-\\never, were gathered from the recollections of individuals, and from\\nthe scanty and imperfect records of the town-clerks who held the\\noffice previous to 1820. As these Registers are principally made\\nup of names and dates, no one should be surprised if numerous\\nerrors are discovered.

Sometimes one Kegister was found to be inconsistent\\nwith another, which gave dates respecting the same person. In\\nsuch cases, we occasionally discovered, as we believed, the true\\ndate and this will account for the variations from the original\\ncopies, which the persons who furnished them may perhaps regard\\nas errors. Of the soldiers of the Revolution, we have inserted\\nnearly in full all the notices that were received. The living resi-\\ndents of Dublin are left to the future historian. The names of\\nthose who have held offices in town will be found under their\\nappropriate heads in the course of the history. If the Register of\\nany family is omitted, it is because none was received, or could be\\ngathered from any accessible sources of information.\\nTo the persons who have aided us in collecting materials for this\\nbook, we tender our thanks. We offer it to the town, which has\\ntaken the responsibility of its publication, as the best we could\\nprepare during the time we were employed upon it. Taking all\\ncircumstances into consideration, we do not feel that there has been\\nany needless delay. A copy of the Address was not received till\\nnearly a year after its delivery. Sickness in the family of the\\nChairman of the Committee, and his residence, most of the time,\\nduring the last year and a half, in another town, have also contri-\\nbuted to hinder the progress of the work. The map which we\\nprefix to the book is believed to be as correct as could be made\\nwithout an accurate and expensive survey by measurement of the\\nwhole town. Many parts of it were drawn from actual measure-\\nment and its errors, if any shall be discovered, will be found to\\nbe less numerous, we think, than in most other town-maps.\\nThe portraits, with the exceptions hereafter mentioned, were\\nfurnished by the persons whom they represent, or by their friends.\\nThe plates for the porti-aits of Samuel Appleton and Dr. Twitchell\\nwere kindly furnished, for the taking of impressions from them the\\nfirst by Mrs. Appleton, and the second by Dr. G.

Over this portion\\nof the book he had no control.

Though some of them removed from town before\\nmost of the persons now living here were born, we cannot think\\nthat their nkmes will be read with entire indifference for they once\\nhad their home here, and many of them strove with their fellOw-\\ntownsmen to promote the common welfare. A large portion of\\nthem are no longer alive; but their children, in many instances,\\nsurvive, and have doubtless heard from the lips of their parents\\nsome account of their temporary sojourn in Dublin. Though they\\nnever saw our hills and valleys, nor the faces of those who now\\ndwell here, yet they cannot but feel some interest in the town from\\nwhich their fathers and mothers emigrated. The list is a long one\\nand it shows that, though the town has not increased in population\\nof late years, yet Dublin has furnished a large number of persons\\nfor the settlement of new states, and for the cities and manufac-\\nturing villages of New England.\\nWith regard to the spelling of names, there will not be found a\\nuniformity in all parts of the book.

But they refused to reconsider, and voted\\nto build the house of the fojmer dimensions and also raised\\nthree dollars more on each share towards building it.\\nIn February, 1771, they granted five dollars on each right,\\nto carry on the building of the meeting-house.

A part of the society\\nare inhabitants of Dublin, as are also some members of\\nthe religious society at Harrisville.\\nThe first mention that is made of schools, in the town-\\nrecords, is in July, 1773, when the town granted four pounds\\nto keep a woman s school, to be kept in three parts of the\\ntown. For the next three years, they granted six pounds a\\nyear, to be laid out in like manner.\\nIn 1778, it was voted to build two school-houses, one in\\nthe northwest part of the town, the other in the east part.\\nBut it seems they were never built, and it is presumed that\\nup to the year 1784 there was no school-house in the town.\\nIn that year a vote was passed to build seven school-houses,\\nat the cost of the town. This vote was carried into effect,\\neventually, though it was several years before the houses\\nAvere all completed. The town voted one hundred and fifty\\npounds for the pui-pose, to be assessed and divided into seven\\nequal parts, and to give each man liberty to work or find\\nstuff for said housen, to pay his rate.\\nA good deal of difficulty was experienced in fixing the loca-\\ntion of some of the school-houses, particularly that for the\\nstreet, which was finally built by Moses Greenwood s, and\\nthat for the northwest part of the town. Instead of the\\none originally provided for, it was determined, in 1791, to\\nbuild two houses in the northwest part, one west of Eli\\nGreenwood s, and the other near Andrew Alhson s. It was\\nvoted that the selectmen shall prefix the places for said\\nschool-housen, and determine the bigness of them, and that\\nthey let out said housen to be built by the great provided\\nthey don t give more than forty -five pound for building both\\nschool-housen. Possibly the selectmen may have felt con-\\nstrained to leave the money to accumulate for a time, as it\\nappears, by the records that the house by Andrew Allison s\\nwas not accepted by the town till 1799. In the meantime\\nthe school-house by Moses Greenwood s was given up, and\\nin its stead one was built in the middle of the town, and\\nanother by Drury Morse s, in 1795.

The tenth was formed about the year 1805, by\\nthe division of the northeast district.\\nThe school-houses which were first built, it may safely be\\npresumed, were but rude structures, small in dimensions,\\nrough in workmanship, and inconvenient and uncomfortable\\nin their arrangements. They cost about thirty pounds, or a\\nhundred dollars, each, several of them considerably less\\nthan that sum. The two which it was first voted to build\\nwere to be 25 by 20 feet. The town had but fairly got\\naround with building the school-houses, when it became\\nnecessary to repair them and, before many years, several of\\nthem required to be renewed. At the March meeting in\\n1809, it was voted to build a new school-house in each dis-\\ntrict that was destitute of one. Under this vote, it appears\\nthat houses were built in the southwest district, the south,\\nand the southeast, at an average cost of about one hun-\\ndred and seventy dollars. A house was built by Drury\\nMorse s in 1815, and in 1817 one by Eli Greenwood s, and\\nanother by Eli Hamilton s. These houses cost about two\\nhundred and twenty -five dollars apiece.\\nThe grants of school-money were at first very irregular.\\nFor several years there is no record of any money having\\nbeen raised. In 1787, the sum granted was fifty pounds,\\nor ^166.67. It rose gradually in amount, but never ex-\\nceeded thi ee hundred dollars, till 1805, when it was raised\\nto four hundred and fifty dollars, which continued ever to be\\nthe sum till 1820. It should be observed, however, that,\\nprior to 1805, the board of the teachers had always been\\npaid by the town from its general funds, and was not taken\\nout of the school-money. But, after that time, each district\\nwas required to pay the board of its teachers out of its pro-\\nportion of the school-money.\\nWhile the town paid for the board, the price was pretty\\nuniformly four shillings a week for boarding a schoolmaster,\\nand two shillings and sixpence for a schoolmistress, until\\n1795, or thereabouts, when it had come to be six shillings\\nand four shillings respectively.

In 1788, Alexan-\\nder Eames was paid for two months, five pounds four shill-\\nings, or eight dollars and sixty-seven cents, a month, which\\nwas probably higher than the average price. In 1790, Sam-\\nuel Appleton had eight dollars a month, for nine weeks. It\\nis said he was paid in rye, which Mr. Ivory Perry carried to\\nhim at New Ipswich, where he then lived. The same year,\\n1790, Sarah Twitchell was paid for eight weeks, at the rate\\nof forty-four cents a week, which was probably about the\\nusual price for female teachers at that time. It rose by\\ndegrees till about the year 1800, from which time, for twen-\\nty-five or thirty years, the common price was a dollar a\\nweek.\\nThe school-fund of the town, derived mainly from the\\nbequest of Mr. Sprague, and a small part from the proceeds\\nof sales of the school-lands, amounts now to upwards of\\n$11,000. The income of this fund became available in\\n1820, and has since been applied for the support of schools.\\nFrom that time, the town has never raised a school-tax,\\nunder that name but to the income of this fund, and the\\nmoney received from the State, known as the Literary\\nFund, there has been added, from the general funds of the\\ntown, sufficient to make up the sum divided, which has been\\nsometimes one thousand dollars, sometimes less, and, for the\\nlast three or four years, more than that amount.\\nIn 1806, Mr. Sprague and eleven others were chosen a\\ncommittee to inspect the schools in the town. This is\\npresumed to have been the first school-committee. A like\\ncommittee was chosen in 1809, and again in 1818 and 1819.\\nIn 1821, as the record shows, The town chose the Rev.\\nLevi W.

The hardships, privations, and\\ndangers which the first settlers endured ought to be remem-\\nbered and the courage, fortitude, self-denial, and patient\\ntoil which they exercised, ought never to be forgotten. The\\nfirst tliird of the century was peculiarly trying. Severe\\nlabor, hard fare, provisions scarce and distant, camp in the\\nwoods, bad or no roads, few in number, exposed to cruel\\nsavages in the French war of 1755, sufiieriif^s in the Kevo-\\nlutionary War, able-bodied men called to the army, money\\nscarce or depreciated, were some of the difficulties to be\\nencountered. Having been born in the woods, some of these\\ntrials are fresh in my memory others were repeated by those\\nwho endured them.\\nThe second third of the century was less trying.

During the first two years of his ministry, we have\\nreason to beheve that he was a successful and acceptable\\npreacher and pastor. But ill health wrought a change in\\nhim, which was manifested by a partial aberration of intel-\\nlect. He entertained strange and unfounded suspicions with\\nregard to the conduct of some of his flock. On the side of\\nthe hill back of the old church, he built a small house, and\\nthere lived, for a time, alone. Such difficulties arose, in\\nconsequence of his singular conduct, that his services were\\ndeemed no longer useful. A council was called and, upon\\nhis request, a dismission was granted, at the end of the\\nfourth year of his ministry.\\nThe successor of Mr. Farrar was the Eev. Edward Sprague.\\nAlthough nearly thirty-five years have elapsed since his\\ndecease, yet many of you who are now present have seen\\nhis face and heard his voice. During the space of forty\\nyears, he was the minister of the Congregational Society of\\nDublin. In the first half of his ministry, it is evident, from\\nwhat was stated in the address at the grove, that he was\\nstraitened in pecuniary means. But at length, by inheriting\\na portion of his father s estate, he became rich. He then\\nrelinquished his salary and, during sixteen years, he sup-\\nplied the pulpit, and performed other duties of his office,\\nneither asking nor receiving any pay.\\nThat he felt deeply in his heart for the welfare of the\\npeople of Dublin, cannot be doubted. With small excep-\\ntion, he bequeathed them his whole property. To the society\\nof which he was pastor, he gave a specified sum and the rest\\nfor the benefit of the common schools.\\nIn the changes of circumstances, interests, and feelings,\\nwhich are ever taking place, it is too common for the grateful\\nremembrance of departed benefactors to become fainter and\\nfainter, till, at length, little is retained besides their names.\\nThe character of Mr, Sprague, drawn by the hand of a\\npersonal friend, is inscribed on the monument erected over\\nthe spot where his mortal part was laid in the earth. As you\\nrepair to that field where the dead repose, and there recall\\nthe memory of the friends who have gone before you, you\\nwill not fail, on some such occasions, to read the words\\nchiselled in hard lines upon that marble slab.

Their\\ndeviation from the common forms of society exposes them to\\nbe considered as wrong in intention, when wrong is far from\\ntheir thoughts. During the whole course of Mr. Sprague s\\neducation, he mingled very little with the world around him.\\nFrom unacquaintance with the ways and manners of a life in\\nthe country, and having never been trained in the methods\\nof New England thrift-making, he was exposed to being\\neasily overreached in such business-transactions as were\\nnecessaiy in his domestic arrangements and there were not\\nwanting persons who would remind him that he had been\\ncheated in a bargain or purchase.

The thermometer on one occasion sank from 81\\nto 43 in less than nine hours. This, however, is an extreme\\ncase.\\nThe geological formation of Dublin is primitive. The\\nland is rocky, and the soil hard to cultivate. A few farms\\nin the easterly part of the town have portions of sandy or\\ngravelly land. Although the soil is hard, yet, under good\\ncultivation, it produces fair crops of Indian corn, oats, barley,\\nand potatoes. On many farms, wheat is raised.

It goes to seed early in the\\nseason, and for the rest of the year gives a white appearance\\nto the fields in which it predominates. Whether these pas-\\ntures can be recruited without cultivation and manuring is\\na problem which has not yet been practically solved. On\\nsome of these pastures, a young growth of spruce, and\\noccasionally of pine, is beginning to appear. This is a de-\\ncided improvement on the sterile aspect presented by a ripe\\ngrowth of white grass.

It was\\nthe course ever pursued by the Indians upon the renewal of\\na war between the English and French, to commence their\\nattacks upon the frontiers of New Hampshire. In August,\\n1754, they broke into the house of James Johnson at num-\\nber four (Charlestown), in the morning, before any of the\\nfamily were awake, and took him with his wife and three\\nchildren, her sister, and two men. The news of such an\\nevent, and others of a similar character, could not have been\\notherwise than alarming to a family situated as Mr. Thornton s\\nwas. When he left, he took all his movable property with\\nhim, except a grindstone and a breaking-up hoe. Some years\\nafter Mr. Appleton occupied the farm, he found the said grind-\\nstone, while ploughing the field in which it had been buried.\\nBy whom, and in what year, the next settlement was\\nmade, there is no authentic account. It is known that some\\nfamilies from Peterborough were residents here before the\\nclose of the French war. Alexander Scott resided on the lot\\nwhere Thaddeus Morse now lives. He is said to have kept\\na tavern, or to have furnished entertainment for those per-\\nsons, especially soldiers, who passed from Peterborough to\\nKeene. An old soldier stated that in 1759 a detachment\\nof colonial troops passed through the town to join the\\nBritish army on the lakes. William Scott, son of Alex-\\nander, lived on the farm (lot 13, range 6) now owned by\\nJohn Gleason. The Hon. John Scott, son of William, was\\nborn there. He was heard to say, that he well remembered,\\nwhen quite young, playing with his brothers on the shore of\\nthe pond, and that occasionally their play was pushing one\\nanother from the fallen trees or slippery logs into the water.\\nRev. E. Dunbar, in liis description of Peterborough, says\\nthat William Scott was a soldier in the war in Canada in\\n1758 and 1759. He was wounded and taken prisoner at the\\nbattle of Bunker Hill. He was carried to Halifax, whence\\nhe escaped, and rejoined his regiment at New York. He\\nreceived a captain s commission in 1777, was a volunteer at\\nthe taking of Burgoyne, and remained in the service of his\\ncountry till the close of the war. N. H. Hist.

His son Robert was the first male child born in\\nDublin. James Taggart had a son named William, and the\\nresidence of the family was at the place where Corydon\\nJones now lives (lot 8, range 5). John Alexander settled\\non lot 7, range 5. His house was near the spot on which\\nSamuel Davison s brick house now stands. He is said to\\nhave lived at one time on lot 7, range 7 now owned by\\nLuke Pichardson. Mr. Alexander was somewhat distin-\\nguished for his extravagant and incredible stories, which he\\nnarrated with assumed gravity, amusing himself with the\\nstaring wonder of credulous listeners. He removed to the\\nState of Vermont, where he died.\\nThe first permanent English settler in Dublin is believed\\nto have been Thomas ISIorse. He came from Sherborn,\\nMass., in the autumn of 1762, and lived on the farm (lot 16,\\nrange 5) now owned by his grandson Jesse Morse. It can-\\nnot be doubted that he had been in the town, cleared land,\\nand prepared a house for his family, before the year above\\nnamed. It has been told, that on one of his journeys to Dub-\\nlin, previous to the removal of his family, his dog was with\\nhim. This dog was afraid of thunder, and, when at home,\\nwas in the habit, duiing a thunder-shower, of running into\\nthe house, and retreating beneath a bed. In the afternoon,\\none day, while Mr. Morse and his dog, accompanied by John\\nAlexander, were in the woods, Mr. Alexander, for the pur-\\npose of lighting his pipe, flashed some powder from the pan\\nof his gun. The dog, probably mistaking the flash for hght-\\nning, manifested his usual signs of fear, and ran away from\\nhis master. When the family at Sherborn arose the next\\nmorning, the dog was at the door. A bed has often been\\nrecommended as a safe place for reclining during a thunder-\\nstorm. Whether the dog had an instinctive sagacity which\\nled him to conclude that under the bed was equally safe, may\\nbe questioned.

The\\nstories which he told in after-years of his adventures were\\nnot always credited by those who heard them but the fol-\\nlowing, though wanting confirmation, is given as related by\\nJonas Wight, who, no doubt, heard the substance of it from\\nthe lips of Mr. Muzzey. He was in several battles, he\\nsaid, in one of which his captain was killed, and the com-\\nmand of the company devolved on him. While under the\\ncommand of General Wayne, he went with a detachment of\\nvolunteers to reduce Stony Point Fort. The design was to\\napproach the fort under cover of the night, take it by sur-\\nprise, and carry it at the point of the bayonet. Orders,\\ntherefore, were given that no man should charge his mus-\\nket. While on the march, one of his company stepped\\nfrom the ranks, and commenced loading his gun. Muzzey\\nwent to him, and commanded him to desist but, the man\\nstill persisting in disobeying the order, he killed him on the\\nspot, by running him through with his sword. On arriving\\nat the fort, he was the first man that entered it. He was\\nconfronted by a British officer, whom he ordered to surren-\\nder but the officer, instead of complying, presented a pistol,\\nand attempted to discharge it at Muzzey s head but it only\\nflashed in the pan, upon which Muzzey ran him through the\\nbody, and he fell dead at his feet. The fort was taken and\\ndestroyed. On leaving the army, near the close of the\\nwar, Muzzey returned to Dublin, and settled on lot 16,\\nrange 7. He brought with him the uniform of the officer,\\nwhom, as he said, he had slain in the fort.

His strength, and power of endu-\\nrance, were thoroughly tested in liis exploit of removing\\nfrom the battle-ground of Bunker Hill his wounded friend,\\nWilliam Green.

At the age\\nof nineteen, with attainments equivalent to a modern backwoods\\neducation, he entered the army, and bravely fought in the battles\\nof Bunker Hill, Bennington, Ticonderoga, and Monmouth.

It is the opinion of this council, that, in the instances com-\\nplained of, the Rev. Mr. Farrar has given the church real cause\\nfor uneasiness but that it has proceeded from bodily disorders,\\nwhich have greatly affected his mind, and not from any moral\\ncause.\\n2. Although the brethren of the church may not, in this time\\nof difficulty and temptation, in the particular instance of calling\\nthis council, have acted with so much prudence and caution as we\\ncould have wished yet it is our opinion, that, making proper\\nallowances for infirmities and temptations, and duly exercising\\nChristian charity, there is nothing but what may be mutually over-\\nlooked and forgiven both by the pastor and the people.\\n3. Although under present circumstances we cannot think it\\nwould be either for the glory of God, or for the comfort and edi-\\nfication either of the Rev. Mr. Farrar, or the people of God in\\nthis place, for him to proceed in his administrations unto them at\\npresent; yet, considering the sacredness and importance of the\\nrelation between a minister of Christ and his people, we cannot\\nthink that that relation ought ever to be rashly and hastily dis-\\nsolved and, considering the cause from which we apprehend the\\nuneasiness has arisen, we cannot but hope, that, by the blessing of\\nGod in the use of proper medicines, Mr. Farrar may be restored\\nto health and usefulness again, and he and this people be mutually\\nhappy in their present relation.\\nTherefore we would seriously advise, that the Rev. Mr. Far-\\nrar be suspended from the exercise of his ministerial office in this\\nplace for the space of six months and, in the meantime, we would\\nearnestly recommend to him that he would apply himself to some\\nable and experienced physician. At the same time, we would\\nseriously advise and earnestly recommend it to the beloved flock,\\nthat they also, for the above said term, continue in the exercise of\\nthat Christian patience, charity, and moderation, under their pre-\\nsent troubles, which they have heretofore exercised, in general, to\\na very remarkable and commendable degree; hoping that their\\nreverend pastor may be restored to health and a sound mind, and\\nthat their present uneasiness may be fully removed but, if the\\npresent uneasiness should remain at the end of that term, and\\nmatters of difficulty not be accommodated, we then advise that\\nthe Rev. Mr. Farrar ask, and the church vote, a dissolution of the\\nrelation, under the moderation of the two senior pastors of this\\ncouncil, who are thereupon to declare the relation dissolved.\\nUpon the whole, we can t but sincerely lament the unhappy\\ndifficulties which have sprung up to the disturbance of that peace\\nwhich has been happily enjoyed in this place heretofore and\\nwould recommend it to all who are immediately concerned herein,\\nto be much in the exercise of prayer and watchfulness that they\\nmutually study the things that make for peace, and wherewith one\\nmay edify another praying that the God of peace would enrich", "height": "3337", "width": "1814", "jp2-path": "historyofdubn00doob_0194.jp2"}, "183": {"fulltext": "HISTORY OF DUBLIN.\\n159\\nthem with all spiritual blessings, and promote the interests of his\\nkingdom among them.\\nStephen Faerab, Moderator.\\nZedekiah Drury.

He was unacquainted with the operations of\\nhusbandry, and especially as carried on in a town so recently\\nsettled as that of Dublin. His ignorance with regard to such\\nmatters caused him to be regarded by some persons with less\\nrespect than he deserved. Many of the anecdotes that have\\nbeen circulated in connection with his name had not their\\norigin with him and such as are correctly applied may be\\nattributed, in a great measure, to the cu-cumstances of his\\nearly life. Some persons, perceiving his want of a know-\\nledge of things quite familiar to those who had always lived\\nin the country, were tempted to engage with him in practi-\\ncal jokes for their own and others amusement.

In 1819, fifty dollars were\\nvoted for that purpose, to be laid out at the discretion of the\\nselectmen. Mr. Robbins was employed as the teacher. A\\nportion of the singers in town were dissatisfied. Another\\nteacher was engaged by the opposing party, and two singing-\\nschools were kept. The controversy was ostensibly about\\nthe style of singing Mr. Robbins, it was alleged, teaching\\nhis pupils to sing with undue loudness, and without suitable\\nexpression. The result was that two choirs of singers were\\nformed, each claiming the seats in the church, and each\\nhaving its leader. On the first sabbath in April, 1820, a\\ncandidate for the ministry began to preach, and both choirs\\nassembled in the church one occupying the seats designed\\nfor the singers, and the other the free seats in the side\\ngallery. The service began with the reading of a hymn.\\nThe leaders named different tunes the pitch for each tune\\nwas given, and the hymn was sung by each choir, making,\\nat times, no small discord. The preacher supposing, or\\nhoping, that singing once in this way would prove satis-\\nfactory to both parties, and that they would not attempt to\\nsing different tunes together a second time, read another\\nhymn but different tunes were again named and sung\\nthe opposing party, however, having selected a tune with a\\nslow movement, had the advantage, or privilege, of singino-\\nthe last stanza alone. Before the minister proceeded in the\\nservice, Mr. Alexander Emes arose from a pew in the north-\\nwest corner of the gallery, and addressed both choirs, re-\\nproving them for suffering any circumstances to lead to such\\nan exhibition in the house of God, reminding them of the\\nencouragement which the town had given for their instruc-\\ntion in sacred music, and of the obligation that rested upon\\nthem of engaging in the performance of that part of divine\\nworship in a decent and orderly manner. No more hymns\\nwere read on that day, nor on the day of public fast, which\\noccurred in that week because it was perceived that both\\nchoirs were present, and would probably sing as before, in\\ncase a hymn should be read.

In the meantime, however,\\nboth choirs agreed to sing together, provided Mr. Henry\\nWhitcomb, then a resident, would take the lead. He did\\nso, and continued to lead till the decision of the town was\\nobtained. The article in reference to this subject, inserted\\nin the warrant for town-meeting, was, To see what method\\nthe town will take to ensure and establish regularity and\\nharmony in our public religious services, particularly in the\\ndepartment of sacred music, or act any thing in relation to\\nmeasures to restore and perpetuate order in the musical de-\\npartment.

We trust\\nthat it will indeed prove an aid to our public worship that its\\nsweet sounds will rightly attune our hearts to the praise of God,\\nand lift our thoughts reverently from our frail temple to that house\\nnot made with hands, which is eternal in the heavens.\\nBe pleased, dear sir, to accept the unfeigned thanks of the\\nsociety, whose welfare you have so much at heart, and our per-\\nsonal wishes that every blessing may be yours, both in time and\\neternity.\\nVery gratefully and respectfully, your friends and servants,\\nJoNA.

The number of jjnpils increased,\\nand a deeper interest was felt by parents and guardians.

This committee consisted\\nof Samuel Twitchell, Esq., Asa Fisk, jun., Eli Greenwood,\\nPhinehas Gleason, David Townsend, Isaac Appleton, Thad-\\ndeus Morse, Esq., John Morse, and Aaron Appleton. They\\nwere required to make their report in August. No report\\nwas made in August but in March, 1809, an article was\\ninserted in the warrant to see what method the town will\\ntake to agree where the new meeting-house shall be built,\\nor act any thing relating thereto. The article was dis-\\nmissed. In March, 1810, the article was to see if the\\ntown will build a new meeting-house, or repair the old one.\\nThis article met the same fate as that of 1809; but in\\nAugust, 1810, the town chose Esq. Griffin, of Packersfield\\nEsq. Farrar, of Marlborough; Esq. Gates, of Hancock;\\nLieut.

At an adjourned meeting,\\nNov. 28, the town voted to do something relative to\\nbuilding a new meeting-house. What was meant by\\nsomething in the foregoing vote is manifest from the\\nsucceeding votes Voted to choose a committee to let out\\nthe putting-up of a frame for a meeting-house. Richard\\nGilchrest, Thaddeus Morse, and Aaron Appleton, were\\nchosen for said committee. Voted that the frame should be\\nraised one year from next June. Voted that the said com-\\nmittee provide suitable underpinning stones, and door-steps\\nlikewise materials suitable to cover the outside of the frame,\\nand to have it done the same season that the frame is put\\nup. Voted that the committee have liberty to get timber on\\nthe town s lands. Voted that the selectmen procure a deed\\nof the meeting-house spot.\\nThe report of a committee, who drew a plan for the new\\nmeeting-house, had been accepted and, in view of the whole\\nmatter, it would have been reasonable to suppose that in less\\nthan two years the house would be completed. But at the\\nannual meeting in March, 1811, although an attempt to\\npostpone the building of the house failed, and two of the\\ncommittee, R. Gilchi-est and T. Morse, declined serving, yet\\nothers were appointed in their places and said committee\\nwere empowered to sell public lands, and the vote was\\nstill against the spot on school-house hill. But another\\nmeeting was called April 30, and the town voted to dis-\\nmiss the committee that were appointed to make prepara-\\ntions for building a new meeting-house, and to pay them\\nhonorably for what services they have done respecting the\\nsame. The vote to sell public lands was reconsidered.\\nThe subject, however, was not to rest here for.

This was a triumph for the\\nopposers of building a new meeting-house. But the advo-\\ncates for a new house called a meeting on the eleventh day\\nof November and the articles which had reference to the old\\nsubject were to see if the town will excuse those people\\ndenominated Baptist and Methodist from paying any thing\\ntowards building a new meeting-house, provided the town\\nshould ever build one, or act any thing relating thereto.\\nThis article was passed over. Then the next article was\\ntaken up for consideration. It was as follows To see if\\nthe town will bind themselves by their vote to build a meet-\\ning-house on the spot of ground that shall be thought the\\nmost suitable by a disinterested committee chosen from the\\nfive adjoining towns. This article was dismissed and\\nthe new meeting-house project was again defeated.\\nThe subject of building a new meeting-house was not\\nbrought forward again till the third day of July, 1815. It\\nwas laid on the shelf during the whole time of the war with\\nGreat Britain but now the Dublin meeting-house war was\\nrevived, and the article in the warrant was to see if the\\ntown will build a new meeting-house, or repair the old one,\\nor act any thing respecting a meeting-house, Notwith-\\nstanding the vote of 1811 to repair the old house, it seems\\nthat nothing had been done and now the town voted against\\nrepairing it. Then voted to set a new meeting-house on\\nthe school-house hill. Voted to choose a committee of\\nthree to stake out a spot for the meeting-house, and to see\\nhow it can be purchased of the owner or owners for the use\\nof the town, and report at some future meeting. Chose for\\nthe committee Whitcomb French, Thaddeus Morse, and\\nSamuel Fisk.\\nHere was another beginning but at a meeting on the\\nfourth of September, same year, the town voted to postpone\\nacting on the subject. Postponing, however, was not dis-\\nmissing the subject. Accordingly, in March, 1816, the\\ntown voted to accept of the report of the committee which\\nwere appointed to stake out a spot for a new meeting-house\\non the school-house hill which report is to purchase about\\none acre of land of Aaron Appleton, and one acre of John\\nSnow, Esq., which land can be had for one hundred dollars\\nper acre.

Some of his descendants have\\nbeen town-paupers.\\nThe population of Dublin at different periods, as taken by\\nthe United States, was, in 1790, 901; in 1800, 1188; in\\n1810, 1184; in 1820, 1260; in 1830, 1218; in 1840,\\n1075 in 1850, 1088.

And with Respect to the officers of\\nthe Militias, this Town judge it proper, that the soldiers of the\\nCompanies, with the Men in the alarm List, choose the Captains,\\nSubalterns, and the non-commission officers. Because the imme-\\ndiate Design of Military Discipline is to teach the soldiers the Art\\nof War and as Men commonly receive Instruction more readily\\nfrom Instructors of their own Choosing than from others, so the\\nchoosing their own officers, especially those that have the imme-\\ndiate Command and Discipline of the Soldiers, will not only, in\\nour opinion, tend to promote Peace and Union in the Companies,\\nbut also the knowledge of the Art of War.\\nThis Town also proposes that the Commissioned officers of\\nthe several Companies choose their Field-officers.

With respect to this, this Town\\nis Unanimously of the Opinion, that this is a great Abridgement of\\nLiberty. That the People of this State have a full and just Right\\nto choose any Man, qualified as prescribed, as many Years succes-\\nsively as they shall judge proper.\\nThis Town likewise proposes, that the several Counties in this\\nState be divided into two or More Districts, and that Judges of\\nProbate and Registers of Probate be Appointed for each District\\nBecause this will greatly ease the subject, with respect to the\\ncharge of travelling.\\nAnd for the same Reason, this Town proposes, that every Town\\nClerk shall be Register of Deeds in his own Town and record all\\nDeeds given of Land in his Town. And that the several Towns\\nin this State be directed and required to provide such Clerks as\\ncan write a good Legible Hand.

The old tenor currency was used in the early days\\nof the town, of which one hundred pounds were equal to\\n\u00c2\u00a313. 65. 8^., or forty-five shillings equal to one dollar.\\nThe making of new roads has been a chief source of ex-\\npense to the town of Dublin. The first roads were made,\\nin most instances, on the lines of lots and, of course, many\\nexpensive alterations have been required in subsequent\\nyears. Seldom has there been a town-meeting since the\\ndate of incorporation, when roads were not a topic of discus-\\nsion, and frequently sharp contests have arisen between the\\nadvocates and opposers of new roads. A full, or even a\\npartial, history of roads in Dublin would require more time\\nand labor than we are able to bestow and many persons\\nwould say, probably, that the value was far below the cost.\\nSURPLUS REVENUE.\\nAt a town-meeting, November 1, 1836, it was voted\\nthat the legally qualified voters of Dublin highly approve\\nof the Act of Congress of the last session for distributing\\nthe surplus revenue among the several States and that our\\nrepresentative.

Four pounds, equal to thirteen dollars and thirty-\\nthree cents, would give to each school only four dollars and\\nforty-four cents. But if the board of the teacher was paid by\\nthe town, or by the parents of the children, and a room pro-\\nvided and furnished without charge, then the four dollars\\nand forty-four cents would give ten weeks schooling, pro-\\nvided the teachers received for wages only forty-four cents\\nper week and it is known, that, even after this date, female\\nteachers received no more.

Owing to the pres-\\nsure of the times, a project was entertained to sell the school-\\nlands and a vote to that effect was passed, but the lands\\nwere not sold. No attempt was made to erect school-houses\\ntill 1778, when it was voted to build two school-houses one\\nin the east, and one in the west, part of the town. Commit-\\ntees were chosen to build said school-houses for the north-\\nwest part of the town, Moses Adams, Reuben Morse, and\\nEli Greenwood; and, for the east part, William Greenwood,\\nSimeon Johnson, and Oliver Wright.

What is called Harrisville is partly in Nel-\\nson and partly in Dublin, on lot thirteen, range ten. This\\nlot was first settled about 1774 by Abel Twitchell, who\\nbuilt a grist-mill and a saw-mill, immediately after settling,\\nboth under the same roof. The building was burned down\\nbut how long after its erection, we do not know. It was\\nsoon rebuilt. At an early date, Jason Harris built a black7\\nsmith and a trip-hammer shop on the site of the present\\nWilson Stand. On the same stream of water, Jonas Clark,\\nin 1799, built and put in operation a clothing-mill, or a mill\\nfor fulling and dressing cloth. In this mill, Mrs. Clark spun\\nlinen thread by water-power, a single thread at a time. Mr.\\nClark sold his mill to James Horsley in 1804, and removed\\nwith his family to Shipton, Lower Canada, now called Ca-\\nnada East, where he resided till 1819, when he returned to\\nDublin.\\nA machine for carding wool was set up in the grist-mill\\nby Bethuel Harris and Abel Twitchell, before Mr. Clark sold\\nout. This machine has been supposed to be the second one\\nthat was run in the United States. Messrs. Harris and\\nTwitchell purchased the clothing-stand of Mr. Horsley, and\\nunited the business of carding wool and dressing cloth, in\\none building, situated on the spot where the mill of Messrs.\\nC. P. Harris and A. S. Hutchinson now stands.\\nThe mill now owned by Harris and Hutchinson was built\\nin 1823 by Bethuel and Cyrus Harris. As soon as it was\\nfinished, Milan Harris put in macliinery for manufacturing\\nwoollen cloths, which were dressed by B, and C.

The non-intercourse and embargo acts and the\\nwar with England gave such an impulse to the manufacture\\nof this kind of ware, that some eight or ten shops were built\\nin the vicinity. From the close of the war with England,\\nin 1815, to the present time, the business has been declin-\\ning and there is now within the limits of this town only\\none shop in operation.

It is true their situation was some-\\nwhat ameliorated by their proximity to Peterborough, where\\na grist-mill was in operation but, during the deep snows of\\nwinter, the roads were impassable for oxen or horses.

Neither bricks,\\nnails, nor boards were accessible and for dwelling-places,\\nthe pioneers in the settlement built with logs what would\\nnow be called a pen, in dimensions about fifteen feet by\\ntW elve, having two doors, one on the south side and the\\nother on the east. For a roof, they took spruce-bark, and tied\\nit to poles by means of withes or twisted twigs. For a cellar,\\nthey dug the loose earth from the top of the ground, piled\\nup logs on three sides, then with bark and dirt the whole\\nwas so covered as to exclude the frost. For a floor, they\\nsplit white ash into planks, and smoothed them with a narrow", "height": "3339", "width": "1956", "jp2-path": "historyofdubn00doob_0335.jp2"}, "314": {"fulltext": "280\\nHISTORY OF DUBLIN.\\naxe. One man, it is said, was at great expense to procure\\nboards for a roof; but, having made shingles, he fastened\\nthem to the boards by wooden pegs. For a chimney, they\\nlaid stone up to the mantel-tree, and then split laths, built\\nthem up cob-house fashion, and plastered inside and outside\\nwith clay mortar. If a few bricks could be obtained, they\\nwould lay up a pile of flat stones two or three rods from the\\nhouse, and construct an oven on the top of the pile, using\\nclay for mortar. New comers were in the practice of taking\\ntheir dough to their neighbor s oven, when one was near\\nenough, or they baked their bread on the stone-hearth by\\ntheir own fire.\\nThough bears were occasionally troublesome, yet their\\nflesh was sometimes used as food, when they could be\\ncaught. Eli Greenwood, son of William Greenwood, used\\nto relate, that, before he* was of age, he with his father and\\nbrother came up at times to the west part of the town to\\nwork upon the lots which had been given them, and that\\non one occasion they had for several days no other meat\\nthan a quarter of an old bear baked. He added that his\\nfather, as twelve o clock approached, was wont to say, We\\nhad better not eat dinner till late for, if we eat early, we\\nshall not be hungry enough to get down much of the old\\nbear.\\nIn the year 1781, Aaron Marshall was troubled with\\nbears in his corn-field. He set two guns at the place where\\nthe bear entered the field. The neighbors, being together\\nat a husking, heard the report of the guns, and all went to\\nsee how it fared with the bear. They found him dead, car-\\nried him to the house, laid him down on the floor, pulled\\nBenjamin Marshall, then a small boy, out of bed, and placed\\nhim on the back of the bear. Wolves were troublesome as\\nlate as the year 1790. One night in December of that yeai*,\\nthey entered the barn-yard of Aaron Marshall, killed five or\\nsix sheep, and ate them nearly all up. On opening the door\\nin the morning, a sheep stood on the step with an icicle of\\nblood hanging to her throat. About the same time, a lynx\\nor catamount attacked Mr. Marshall s geese, of which the\\nold gander gave warning by running to the house-door, and\\nscreaming at the top of his voice. The animal was caught\\nthe next night in a trap set for the purpose.

She caught her broom, ran to the pen, and found\\na bear holdmg her pig by the top of Iris neck. Not willing\\nto lose her pig, she began to pound the bear with her\\nbroom, calling at the same time for help and she drove him\\noff, and saved her pig, before any help came.\\nMrs. Ivory Perry, after she was ninety years of age*, was\\nheard to say, that in the winter she used in the early days\\nof the town to ride to meeting on an ox-sled, but that she\\nsometimes went on foot. Returning alone from meeting,\\none Sunday afternoon, she saw a wolf near where John\\nBrooks now lives. The wolf was walking along by the side\\nof the road. She thought it was a dog but, on seeing after-\\nwards a stuffed wolf-skin, she recognized it as belonging to\\nthe same kind of animal that she saw on the road. Mrs.\\nPerry said that they were sometimes obliged to cut up their\\ncorn to prevent bears from destroying it. On one occasion,\\nshe went to the corn-field at the beginning of twilight to\\ngather ears of corn. She had filled her apron and her son\\nJolin, then a small boy, had filled a basket.

The practice, from the south part of the town\\nto the great road, was, when the snow became deep, to begin\\nat Twitchell s Mills, and proceed to Moses Greenwood s, in\\nthe following manner: The oxen and young cattle were\\nturned unyoked into the road, and one person went before\\nthem to commence a track, and he was followed by the\\ncattle. When the man on the lead became tired, another\\ntook his place. At each settlement, the fresh cattle were\\nput forward; and, by being thus driven in Indian file, a\\ngood horse-path was made.\\nThe food of the first settlers was of the plainest kind.\\nWhile clearing his farm, Mr. Belknap boarded at Samuel\\nTwitchell s during the season for work out of doors. His\\nfood for a certain day, as he described it, would not seem at\\nall suitable for a laboring man in modern times. His break-\\nfast, he said, was bean-porridge his dinner, a piece of\\nbaked pumpkin, with a thin slice of pork baked upon it", "height": "3339", "width": "1956", "jp2-path": "historyofdubn00doob_0339.jp2"}, "318": {"fulltext": "284 HISTORY OF DUBLIN.\\nand his supper, bean-porridge. For breakfast and supper,\\nbean-porridge was a common dish. Dinners were more\\nvaried but Mr. Belknap was often heard to say, he believed\\nhe had eaten a well-full of bean-porridge. No recipe is\\ngiven, that we know of, in modern books of cookery, for\\nthe making of this article of food but, if it was water in\\nwhich meat had been boiled with beans added, it must have\\ncommended itself in hard times by its nutritive qualities,\\nand, to the hard-working and hungry man, might not have\\nbeen unsavory to the taste.\\nANECDOTES.\\nAmong the early settlers in school-district number three,\\nwere John and Simeon Russell. They were brothers but\\ntheir dispositions were not of that character which contri-\\nbutes to the peace and harmony of society. They were often\\nengaged in petty wrangling with each other, especially when\\nthey had been partaking of the intoxicating cup. It hap-\\npened that one of them found a swarm of wild bees in a\\nhollow tree standing on the land of the other, and he\\nclaimed them as his property. The other claimed them on\\nthe ground that they were on his land. Many an alter-\\ncation took place in relation to the bees. The time arrived\\nat length for taking the honey, and the finder started for\\nthat purpose. He felled the tree but his brother, warned\\nprobably by hearing the strokes of the axe, came to the\\nspot, and a sharp quarrel was begun. Both claimed the\\nbees, and both were determined to have them. The conten-\\ntion was continued for a long time but neither would yield.\\nAt length one of them kindled a fire, as is generally done in\\nsuch cases, to destroy the bees. This enraged the other still\\nmore, and the contest was renewed with additional vigor.\\nWhile they were thus struggling for the mastery, the fire\\ntook strong hold of the tree, which proved to be dry, and\\nconsumed the entire contents of the tree leaving the con-\\ntending brothers with bloody noses, but not one drop of\\nhoney. Such is the result, if not literally, yet figuratively,\\nof many a quarrel.\\nTwo members of the Baptist Church, a Mr. Rollins and a\\nMr. Riggs, had a misunderstanding with regard to some\\ndealings between them and Mr. Riggs took occasion to call", "height": "3352", "width": "1871", "jp2-path": "historyofdubn00doob_0340.jp2"}, "319": {"fulltext": "HISTORY OF DUBLIN, 285\\nhis brother RolUns an old skin-jlint. Mr, Rollins considered\\nit scandalous, and reported his brother Riggs to the church\\nfor discipline. A meeting was called, and presided over by-\\nElder Willard. Mr. Rollins stated his grievance and the\\nbrethen discussed the matter, and gave their opinions. The\\nElder cautioned them against being hasty, and suggested the\\npropriety of ascertaining the definition of the opprobrious\\nepithet by consulting a dictionary. A messenger was sent\\nfor a dictionary, and one was procured but they were\\ndoomed to be disappointed, for the word could not be found.\\nIn this dilemma, they felt somewhat perplexed but the\\nElder proposed that Brother Riggs should state to the church\\nwhat he meant, when he called Brother Rollins an old skin-\\nflint. Mr, Riggs, who had been sitting in silence during\\nthe whole proceedings, rose up and said, in a sonorous and\\nlisping manner, that was natural to him I meant that\\nbrother Rollins was a right-doivn honest, clever man.\\nThis must, of course, in the absence of other testimony,\\nhave been deemed satisfactory,\\nWilliam Spaulding, whose present residence is Cavendish,\\nVt., lived eight years with Rev.

Accordingly, when he came in, Mr. Ains-\\nworth stated the point of discussion, and the difficulty which", "height": "3339", "width": "1956", "jp2-path": "historyofdubn00doob_0341.jp2"}, "320": {"fulltext": "286 HISTORY OF DUBLIN.\\nthey encountered, and requested him to solve the question\\nby furnishing a satisfactory example. Mr. Sprague quickly\\nreplied, Surely, brethren, I find no difficulty in deciding.\\nI have a case in my mind, a clear and evident one one, in\\nshort, that must for ever settle the question. But as he\\nhesitated, and seemed unwilling to state the case or example,\\nthe brethren urged him to proceed.

Mr. Adams, on being told, went\\nto his own grain, measured out the amount, delivered it to\\nFarnum, and thus settled the matter.\\nFATAL CASUALTIES.\\nThe first death in Dublin was occasioned by the falling of\\na tree.

Mr.\\nTwitchell inquired for Mr. Robinson, and Mrs. R. said he\\nwas in the woods not far off chopping down trees but she\\nadded that she had not heard the sound of his axe for some\\nlittle time.

The following is an extract from a letter to\\nthe Chairman of the Publishing Committee, by his son, Amos Allen,\\nEsq., of Newton, Mass.\\nMy father, the late Lieut. Josiah Allen, was born in 1755, in Weston,\\nMass. His ancestors were originally from Wales, Eng. came to this\\ncountry at a very early period of our national history, and settled upon the\\nfarm where my father was born, and which remained in possession of\\nthe Allen family nearly or quite two hundred years.\\nMy father served as a soldier in our Kevolutionary war four years. His\\nfirst enlistment was in what was called the year service the second, in the\\nthree years service. Soon after leaving the army, he, with a Mr. Asa Pierce,\\nalso of Weston, purchased the second lot in the third range in Dublin\\nwhich they divided equally between them. The northerly half was taken\\nby my father the southerly half, by Mr. Pierce. My father and Mr. Pierce\\nhad married sisters and after clearing off a few acres, and preparing small\\nbut comfortable dwellings, they, with their families, in 1786 or 7, moved to\\nDublin. Mr. Pierce died a few years after, leaving two children. His\\nwidow married Thomas Davison, and removed to Jaffrey.\\nMy mother s maiden name was Sarah Pike. She was born in Cross\\nStreet, Boston. When the British troops occupied the town, her father and\\nhis family moved to Charlestown and, when that town was burnt, they\\nwent to Weston, where her father and mother died at an advanced age. My\\nmother died Feb. 3, 1791, at the age of 35 leaving, as survivors, myself\\nand my brother Charles, now of Northport, Me. My father married a second\\nwife, of the family of Lieut. William Kobbe, of Peterborough. She died a\\nfew years before my father. They had eight children six of whom sur-\\nvived her, and are now alive, but have all deserted their native town.\\n\u00e2\u0080\u00a2\u00e2\u0080\u00a2My father remained in possession of his farm till about 1812.

Among the few who came\\nfrom neighboring towns to join tliis patriotic band, were the brothers\\nDavid and John Elliot, from Mason. The company was soon\\nformed (65 in number), marched to Cambridge, and was attached\\nto Col. Reid s regiment, and there assigned the post of honor, the\\nright wing. At the battle of Bunker Hill, they were early on\\nthe ground and in the hottest of the fight, though each man had but\\na gill of powder and fifteen balls dealt out to him in the moi-ning.\\nDavid Elliot, like most of his company, had only his fowling-piece\\nfor arms, which, after a few rapid discharges, became hot and\\ndangerous.

He seized the\\nprize, expended the remainder of his ammunition with it, brought\\nit off the field, and kept it to the day of his death. Capt. Towne s\\ncompany remained in service till the evacuation of Boston by the\\nBritish, in the spring following, and was then discharged.

In her youth, she had supposed herself\\ncured of this disease by a man, reputed to be the seventh so7i, who traversed Ireland,\\nit was said, at his majesty s expense, and performed, it was believed, the most marvel-\\nlous cures, by gently rubbing the diseased person in the throat with his naked hand,\\nand, instead of taking a reward, bestowing a piece of silver. Mrs. Robbe charged\\nher son to attend gratuitously to all who should apply for relief, and to give each a\\npiece of silver; and he never refused his assistance to any who applied. Applications\\nwere numerous, and frequent; and, after he was unable to lift his hands, they were\\nguided by others to impart the healing influence. It would require a volume,\\naccording to Mr. Dunbar, to record the extraordinary cures which have been\\nascribed to his instrumentality.", "height": "3349", "width": "1878", "jp2-path": "historyofdubn00doob_0405.jp2"}, "376": {"fulltext": "334 REGISTER OF FAMILIES.\\nVL Joshua, b.

As he grew\\nolder, his love of reading increased and he read, with deep interest,\\nhistory, voyages, and travels. Books were scarce in his youthful\\ndays but he read thoroughly such as he could obtain. In conse-\\nquence of his love of reading and his studious habits, he was sent\\nto New Ipswich Academy, of which, at that time, Rev. Samuel\\nWorcester was Preceptor, and where he remained seven or eight\\nmonths. He was afterwards instructed by Rev. Mr. Palmer, of\\nTownsend. He entered Dartmouth College, 1798, at the age of\\nseventeen, and graduated 1802, delivering, at the time of his gra-\\nduation, an oration in Greek. During the winters of his collegiate\\ncourse, he taught district schools. He studied medicine under the\\ndirection of Dr. Nathan Smith, Professor at the Medical School in\\nHanover; and commenced practice, 1807, in Marlborough, N. H.\\nHe removed to Keene, 1810. In 1819, he was offered a Professor-\\nship at Dartmouth; in 1824, at the Vermont Academy of Medicine;\\nin 1826, at Castleton and, in 1826, at Bowdoin College, each of\\nwhich offers he declined.

After his removal to Bethel, he was taken cap-\\ntive by the Indians, at the house of one of his neighbors, a Capt.\\nClark, on an afternoon when he happened to be there. Quite a\\nnumber of Indians came suddenly upon the house, entered it, took\\nClark and Twitchell captive, bound their hands behind them, set\\none of their number as a guard, while the rest went into the cellar\\nto regale themselves at a barrel of rum. Having partaken very\\nfreely, they called to the guard to come and take his turn. Mr.\\nTwitchell, in anticipation of what might happen, had prepared him-\\nself for escape and, the moment the guard left him, sprang out of\\nthe house, ran a short distance, jumped over a brush-fence, and\\ncurled down. In a moment after, he heard them give the alarm\\nthat Mr. Twitchell was gone. They ran to the woods in search\\nof him mistaking the noise of some cattle in the brush for their\\ncaptive. He embraced the opportunity to run into an adjacent\\ncorn-field, and there secreted himself for the night, and, in the\\nmorning, found, but a few rods from himself, Mrs. Clark, who on\\nthe approach of the Indians to the house had fled there for safety,\\nneither having been aware that the other was near, or even in the\\ncorn-field.

Their names are arranged under\\nthe different letters of the alphabet, in the order in which they are supposed to have\\nemigrated, except in the case of families. Members of the same family are generally\\ngrouped together according to their ages the father or eldest brother being placed\\nfirst, though younger members may have emigrated years before he did. When\\na star is placed after a name, it is intended to show that the emigrant had a\\nfamily, who went with him. The Arabic figures placed before names are intended\\nto designate to what generation of the family who have resided in Dublin the several\\nmembers that have emigrated belong. When the generation of an individual is not\\nthus designated, it is believed that his ancestors never resided here. In preparing\\nthis list, the same diflBculties have had to be encountered that have been experienced\\nin the preparation of some other portions of this work, contradictory statements,\\nwhich cannot be reconciled, and the want of reliable sources of information.

She has lived to complete a\\ncentury and, on Sunday last, celebrated\\nher one hundredth birthday by attending\\npublic worship at the Unitarian Church.\\nThe day was one of the coldest of this in-\\nclement season. She walked with a firm\\nstep to her slip, stood unsupported during\\nthe singing, and remained after the congre-\\ngation was dismissed to participate in the\\ncommunion service. Her presence gave\\ngreat solemnity and impressiveness to the\\noccasion. In the same slip was a brother\\nof hers, now in his ninety-seventh year, .ind\\nin good health. The hymns were sung in\\nold tunes, such as Old Hundred, Mear, and\\nSt. Martin s, to revive the recollections of\\nthe past. Prayer was offered by Rev. Mr.\\nWillson, former pa.\u00c2\u00abtor of the church of\\nwhich the centcnnarian is a member, and\\na discourse preached by myself, on Vir-\\ntuous Old .40-C, from the words, The\\nhoary head is a crown of glory, if it be\\nfound in the way of righteousness, Prov.\\nxvi. 3.\\nVery truly yours,\\nJohn J.
