It consisted of bean porridge,\\nIndian bread, johnny-cakes, and a few potatoes. Pies and\\ncakes were a great luxury if they could get them, but they\\nwere like angels visits, few and far between. Their dress\\nwas made of coarse material, homespun and wove. Ladies\\nwore dresses made of tow and linen, tight waist, skirt made of\\nwool, open iu front to the bottom and pinned behind. They\\nwore a dress skirt, short loose gown, wool hats, and sometimes\\nsun-bonnets, such as would cause a smile these good days.\\nFor church dress, they wore calico called chintz, wore mostly\\nleather shoes, some had velvet. For an overdress, the ladies,\\nif they had any, wore home-made cloth some had silk. They\\nwore skirts which came half way from the knee to the ankle,\\ncalled long shorts, or cut shorts.\\nThe children, if they went to church at all, wore home-made\\ncloth, with a handkerchief tied on their heads. Li cold\\nweather they wore a striped blanket over their shoulders.\\nThe men wore striped frocks and trowsers, cowhide boots\\nif they could get them, otherwise shoes, with leggings in win-\\nter to keep out the snow. They had an over-dress made of\\ncoarse wool cloth, called great coats, which came down to their\\nankles.\\nTheir dwellings were mostly built of logs, with a stone\\nchimney at one end, and a large fireplace, large enough to re-\\nceive wood four feet in length. The cellar and attic, if they\\nhad any, was reached by a ladder. The seats were made of\\nblocks of wood, and table of a large log two or three feet long.\\nTheir mode of travel was at first by marked trees, on foot,\\nand afterwards by sleds drawn by oxen. In winter they ti av-\\nelled on what they called snowshoes when the snow was deep.\\nA man would take a woman behind him on the same shoes.\\nShe would take hold of his shoulders and step every time as he\\ndid, and travel a mile or more in that way.

Late in the summer of that year, he began to officiate\\nin his sacretl calling with this people. The First Congrega-\\ntional church in Jaflrey was then in its infoncy, it having been\\norganized May 18, 1780. It is not difficult to understand how\\nacceptable lie was at this early day to the citizens of the town,\\nwhen we read the expressive language of their official acts. At\\na town-meeting, called December 17, 1781, it was Voted, to\\nhear Mr. Ainsworth longer. Voted, to hear Mr. Ainsworth\\ntill he can conveniently go his journey and then return to this\\ntown. At another public town-meeting, held April 23, 1782,\\nthere is this record Voted, to hear Mr. Ainsworth upon pro-\\nbation, in order to give him a call. At a town-meeting, July\\n8, 1782, Voted, unanimously, to concur with the church and\\ngive Mr. Laban Ainsworth a call to the work of the gospel\\nministry in this town. They pledged him as a salary, annu-\\nally, \u00c2\u00a370 as long as he shall be the minister of this town.\\nThey also proffered him liberty to visit his friends twice each\\nyear, of two Sabbaths each time, if he accepts the call that is\\ngiven him. These were the final conditions of the settlement.\\nOn the loth of December, 1782, an ecclesiastical council was\\nconvened to afford assistance in setting apart the candidate\\nfor the work of the gospel ministry. After hearing the\\nparties and examining the candidate, the council adjourned to\\nthe following day, when, upon reassembling, they proceeded\\nwith the ordination services. Thus it appears that in these in-\\ntroductory movements, neither the town nor the candidate was\\nin haste. It was not till he had preached here three or four\\nmonths that the hearers took any vote on the question of his\\nstaying. Nor was it till four months later that they expressed\\na desire that he should remain as a candidate for settlement.\\nBy this time they were cherishing a desire to retain him, so\\nthat when he had been with them almost a year, the differing\\nsentiments of the people becoming more and more united, they\\nwere prepared to give him a unanimous call to become their\\npastor. Here is manifest a careful deliberation which gave\\npromise of a permanent ministry. Nor was that promise un-\\nfulfilled, for he has been the minister of this church more than\\nseventy-six years and a half. During nearly half a century he\\nwas without a ministerial helper; but since that time three\\nyoung men have been associated with him as colleagues, and\\nbeen dismissed and now the senior pastor is dismissed, and\\ncalled to his rest.\\nThough I have not been summoned before you to-day to pro-\\nnounce his eulogy, I should do injustice to my own sense of\\n8", "height": "3236", "width": "1887", "jp2-path": "historyoftownofj00cutter_0125.jp2"}, "125": {"fulltext": "I06 HISTORY OF JAFFREY.\\nduty were I wholly to forbear speaking of his worth. In doing\\nit very briefly, I must confine myself principally to what I have\\nknown of him during the last thirteen years. What impressed\\nme first was his peculiarly venerable appearance. He was then\\n87 years of age. He had a full, muscular frame, a head slightly\\nbald, with snowy white locks hanging over his shoulders, and\\na dress corresponding with his age, yet reminding one of a\\ngeneration for the most part passed away.\\nWhat I next observed was his afl able and courteous man-\\nners. He was graceful in his movements, social in his nature,\\nand always ready to make a fit reply to whatever might be\\nsaid. Though he knew well how to utter the language of\\nseverity, how to administer a just rebuke, how to make a\\nkeen and sarcastic criticism, yet he greatly excelled in the\\npower to please and instruct in the social circle. The gentle-\\nness of his manner of receiving company, of welcoming them\\nto the hospitalities of his home, of taking leave of them at their\\ndeparture, is what many of us delight to remember and to the\\nyoung minister who labored by his side during these thirteen\\nyears, lie manifested the kindness of a father, with the forbear-\\nance and courtesy of a constant friend.\\nI early noticed, also, his peculiar simplicity and propriety in\\nthe use of words. He rarely hesitated for a choice of language,\\nand the very expression which was wanted came at his call.\\nThis gave him great ability to amuse, to inform, to impress, or\\nto influence the human mind. Nowhere else was this perti-\\nnence in the choice of language so observable as in his prayers,\\nand conversations on the subject of religion. To this fact my\\nattention has often been called by the aged people who long\\nwaited on his ministry.\\nHe was evidently a man of intellectual strength and sound\\njudgment. Even amid the infirmities of age, there were per-\\nceptible distinct signs of a former greatness.\\nIt has been gratifying to notice that with the gradual weak-\\nening of his intellectual powers, he has steadily maintained a\\nfondness for the doctrines and precepts of God s word. When\\nincapable of taking any care of his temporal concerns, he would\\nexpress a sensible opinion in what relates to the kingdom of\\nGod. And when his intellect became so enfeebled that he\\ncould not speak connectedly on ordinary topics, he would offer\\nprayer with no wandering or repetition, and impart Christian\\ncounsel with correctness. And when his memory so failed him\\nas to become wholly untrustworthy concerning passing events,\\nhe would repeat passages of Holy Writ without mistake.\\nWe have noticed that he was a man remarkably guiltless of\\naffectation himself, and intolerant of it in others.

Last June, as the Cheshire County Conference of\\nChurches was about to meet in Rindge, I inquired of him what\\nmessage he would like to send to the good people at that\\nmeeting.

He used to say, We want in the pulpit plain, sound\\ndoctrine, even if men scorn it. It is better than some pleasing\\nerror that shall lead the soul to ruin. The Bible has been his\\ndaily companion in the house of his pilgrimage. For years\\nthat book, in the French language, was the solace of his hours\\nof solitude.

During the last two years we\\nhave seen increasing evidence that he was approaching the end\\nof his earthly course. But on the 19th of July he was able to\\nmeet us in this house, while we attempted to celebrate his one\\nhundredth birthday. Since then, the decay of his faculties has\\nbeen more rapid. His physical strength has failed, and his in-\\ntellect become shattered and although, in his weakness, he\\ndurst not confide in the truest and most faithful of his earthly\\nattendants, he never, for a solitary moment, lost confidence in\\nGod.

D. in 1837, and Harvard in 184S. He was a member of\\nthe American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and in 1859 was\\nelected a member of the Massachusetts Historical Society,\\nwhich he held till his death.\\nWe have said that his life was a busy one and, though he\\nleft no one considerable work to indicate the extent to which\\nhe contributed to general literature, or that of the law, the\\nnumber of his publications, if collected, would form several\\ngood-sized volumes. The number and extent of his judicial\\nopinions, while occupying a seat upon the Bench, are in them-\\nselves an evidence of his unwearied diligence in the thorough-\\nness of his investigations, and the fulness and clearness with\\nwhich he prepared and published these opinions. Such was\\nthe case, also, while connected with the law school, as was\\nshown by the number of special and occasional lectures upon\\nsubjects connected with the topics of which he was treating in\\nhis regular courses, which had assumed more than ordinary\\nimportance from the circumstances of the times. Several of\\nthese were afterwards published, and are valuable as able and\\noriginal discussions of the matters of which they treat. So, as\\na member of the Historical Society, his contributions to its\\nproceedings were able, interesting, and exact always thorough,\\nand, as far as possible, exhaustive.\\nHis thoroughness of investigation rendered him a safe and\\nreliable contributor to the resources of local history and\\namong the last of his contributions to this class of literature\\nwas the address, of which we have spoken, on the occasion of\\nthe centennial celebration of his native town, in 1873, in which\\nthe freshness and playfulness of forty run through the pages\\nwhich he penned when close upon the confines of fourscore.\\nNor do the publications mentioned embrace all the elaborate\\nand well-considered productions of his pen. But they are\\nsufficient to justify the qualities of diligence and thoroughness\\nwhich have been ascribed to him, as characteristics of his\\nhabits of thought and life. A perusal of his published works,\\nincluding his opinions as a judge, would enable one to go\\ndeeper into the character of his mind than can be done in a\\nbrief biography, and detect some of the sources of that power\\nand efficiency which he brought to bear upon any subject in\\nwhich his judgment and convictions were enlisted.\\nAs a judge, he listened patiently and courteously, and formed\\nhis judgments after careful, thorough, and impartial examina-", "height": "3236", "width": "1887", "jp2-path": "historyoftownofj00cutter_0143.jp2"}, "142": {"fulltext": "120 HISTORY OF JAFFREY.\\ntion of the whole subject before hun. He borrowed no\\nopinions upon doubtful matters at second hand, but went over\\nthe necessary processes of analysis and generalization for\\nhimself, till he came to a conclusion which satisfied his own\\nunderstanding. And, when he had reached that point, he\\nnever stopped to ask how it chimed in with the present popu-\\nlar sentiment, or the traditional notions of the past. If he\\nbelieved, upon investigating for himself, that these were mis-\\ntaken, he did not hesitate to say so in terms of unequivocal\\nsignificance. And when, in the performance of an official\\nduty, it became necessary to act up to his convictions, it mat-\\ntered little with whom or with what power he found himself at\\nissue. He had too much self-respect to forget what was due\\nto courtesy in the manner and language of a discussion, but it\\nwas not difficult to understand that he knew no compromise\\nwith right and duty.\\nThe numerous opinions which he has left in the published\\nvolumes of the reports of the court of New Hampshire, many\\nof them calling for a high measure of sound learning and pro-\\nfound analysis, when taken in connection with the uniform\\ntestimony of the bar of that state, and of those who knew him\\nin his judicial capacity, to his fairness and impartiality, leave\\nlittle occasion to enlarge upon his eminent qualifications for\\nthat office, or the high reputation he earned during the fifteen\\nyears that he occupied the bench.\\nOf his faithfulness and ability as a legal instructor in his\\noffice of Professor in the Law School, little need be said beyond\\nthe fact that he brought to it the same habits of diligence,\\ncareful preparation, and a thorough mastery of his subjects,\\nwhich he had shown as a lawyer and a judge. As new sub-\\njects and questions of interest arose, he gave them the attention\\nwhich their importance deserved, and not only gave his class\\nthe benefit of his research, but in several instances, as has\\nalready been stated, embodied his views in a printed form.\\nThe many hundreds who shared his instruction with that of the\\nother teachers in the School, and are now scattered through\\nthe Union, would, I am confident, pay a willing tribute to his\\nlearning, his courtesy, and his generous sympathy in whatever\\nconcerned their progress and their ultimate success in life.\\nThe relation that has always subsisted between the students\\nof that school and its instructors has been that of friendship\\nand mutual respect, united to a desire to communicate and\\nreceive instruction and it lost none of its characteristics so\\nlong as Judge Parker held the office of Royall Professor in that\\ninstitution.

Among the\\nsubjects to which he devoted time and attention during this\\nconflict were those of the Right of Secession, Habeas Corpus,\\nand Martial Law, the Case of the Trent, and International\\nLaw, the Character of the Rebellion, and the Conduct of the\\nWar and upon each of these he has left publications which\\nwill long survive the causes and occasion which brought them\\nout.

He was at home\\nin Shakespeare, and had ready at his command a rich store of\\ntreasured poetical thought, which he had gathered from a\\nfrequent perusal of some of the choicest English and American\\npoets.

The name Patrick\\nwas equally common on both sides, and it is to this time. It\\nis known that about the ninth century one of these Patricks\\nbuilt a church, from wliich he took the name Kirk or Kill\\nPatrick. Those bearing the name Kirk in the south, of\\nKill in the north of Scotland, of Kill or Gill in the\\nnorth of Ireland, are all regarded as descendants of the same\\nbranch of the Kirk Patrick of Dumfries, Scotland, who built\\nthe church. Cille, Kill, or Gill, signifies, in the Celtic and\\nGaelic, a place of worship. Kirk, also, has the same significa-\\ntion.\\nThe Kill or Kirk Patricks recognized tlieir fealty to the\\ncrown of Scotland as late as the days of Bruce, fighting under\\nthe banner of their chief until he won his crown. When Bruce\\nwounded the Red Comyn, at Gra} Friar s Church, Dumfries,\\nin 1306, one of his followers, Sir Roger Kirk Patrick, or Kill\\nPatrick (half the historians of that day wrote it Kill who\\nwould have no doubt on such a matter, said, I mak sikar\\n(I make sure), and slew the man outright. The crest in the\\nKirk Patrick arms is a hand holding a dagger in pale distilling\\ndrops of blood, and their motto is, I mak sikar. The suc-\\ncessors of the Closeburn, Dumfries, estates are baronets, and\\nthe present head of the house is Sir Thomas Kirk Patrick.\\nDumfries was tlieir original home. During the troublous times\\nin the early part of the seventeenth century, some of the fami-\\nlies known as Covenanters crossed the Mull of Cantyre to An-\\ntrim in 162S, and were active in tlie wars terminating with the\\nsiege of Derry. One family of this Dumfries branch of Kirk or\\nKill Patricks was among them, and from this family descended\\nThomas Gill or Kill Patrick. A member of this Scotch fam-\\nily (Carl Kill Patrick) separated himself from them in the\\nEnglish interest, and became Lord of Osraighe. Thomas Kill\\nor Gill Patrick was a Scotch-Irish Presbyterian, b. 1674, who\\ncame from Coleraine, county Antrim, Ireland, in 1718, with\\nnine sons and one daughter, who was drowned. They came\\nfirst to Boston, thence to Wells, York county, Maine, where\\nhe did not long remain, but, leaving some of his family there,\\nremoved with five sons to Biddeford, Maine, where afterwards\\nhe was known to be an active member of the church.

Since\\n1S65 the bank paid dividends of eight per cent, for\\nabout four years, and ever since then of ten per cent.,\\nwithout passing an}-, and has accumulated a cash sur-\\nplus of 25,000, and in addition has lost by fire at least\\n$10,000.\\nFrom the beginning, in 185 1, the office was in Mr.\\nUpton s house until their first building was completed,\\nin November, 1873.

The second building was\\nsimilar to the first, built on the same foundations, and\\ncost about $11,000, over and above what was saved of\\nthe ruins of the other. This, too, was burned, March\\n23, 18771 the fire doubtless being the work of an incen-\\ndiary. Each building was insured for $8,000.\\nAfter being thus tried by fire, it was decided to build\\nonly large enough for the business of the bank. Accord-\\ningly the old site, with the brick walls still standing and\\nthe nice hammered stone-work remaining uninjured,\\nwas sold to Mr. Benj. Pierce, who erected the present\\nGranite State hotel thereon. The former hotel site\\nwas secured by the bank, and a building erected second\\nto none in the state in architectural beauty, convenience\\nof arrangement, and elegance of finish.\\nAll three of these buildings were planned and ar-\\nranged by Mr. Upton, and the contracts made and\\nevery detail looked after by him, while their whole\\nconstruction received his personal supervision.\\nIn this connection should be mentioned the Monad-\\nnock Savings Bank, which went into operation in Jan-\\nuary, 1870. In April following Mr. Upton was chosen\\ntreasurer, which position he still holds, though he has\\nnot had the almost exclusive control of its affairs which\\nhe has had of the other bank. Its deposits have accu-\\nmulated in eleven years to about $350,000, and its de-\\npositors received up to 1875 an average of six per cent.,\\nand since that time five per cent., while its losses have\\nbeen small and unimportant.\\nDuring the whole time which Mr. Upton has been in\\ntown, he has been actively interested in all public\\nmeasures, and closely identified with every important\\nenterprise. He represented the town in the legislatures\\nof 1S48, 49, and 50. At the first session he obtained\\nthe charter for the East JaftVey Fire Engine Co at the\\nsecond, the charter for the Monadnock Railroad and at\\nthe last, for tlie Monadnock Bank. He served as town\\ntreasurer during 1S60 and 61, declining a reelection in\\n62. He was one of the incorporators of the Monad-\\nnock Railroad, of the Monadnock Bank, and later of\\nthe Monadnock Savings Bank.\\nTo Mr. Upton and Dr. Bradley, perhaps more than\\nto any other two men, is due the credit of pushing\\nthrough our railroad.

The road to\\nRindge was even worse, being outrageously crooked,\\nand leading over such eminences as the Tyler, Carter,\\nand Davis hills. Mr. Upton was largely instrumental\\nin changing these roads to their present locations.\\nIn 1S43, after many unsuccessful efforts in previous\\nyears by others, the district, at last, voted to move the\\nvillage school, the decision being brought about, large-\\nly, by the personal efforts of Mr. Upton.

At length, de-\\ntermined to get a fair hearing at the post-office depart-\\nment, Mr. Upton and Alonzo Bascom, jointly, paid the\\nexpenses of an advocate to Washington. This quickly\\ndecided the case, and the office was at once established,\\nand, by a curious mistake of the authorities, the office\\nat the Centre was discontinued. This error, however,\\nwas soon after corrected, and the name of Factory\\nVillage changed to East Jafirey. The administration\\nbeing at that time Democratic, Alonzo Bascom was\\nappointed post-master, though the office was kept in\\nMr. Upton s store.

R. Corning, ot\\nBoston. As before stated, the old buildings stood\\nalmost in the street. Mr. Corning was intending to\\nrepair them where they stood, but Mr. Upton, fearing\\nthat they would in that case always remain there, pro-\\nposed to Mr. Corning to move them back and enlarge\\nthem. Accordingly, plans were drawn which provided\\nfor almost entire new buildings, and required a large\\noutlay. A subscription of about $i,Soo was collected\\nby Mr. Upton in aid of the enterprise, and, at the\\nrequest of Mr. Corning, he took entire charge of the\\nwork until finished, and advanced the balance of the\\nmoney necessary for its completion, declining all\\ncompensation for his services in connection with it,\\nconsidering himself as amply repaid by its improved\\nappearance and the business it soon drew to the town,\\nmaking the enterprise, from the start, a complete suc-\\ncess, contrary to the predictions of many that such a\\ngreat house would never pay.

The storm continued night\\ncame, and he was invited to spend it with him.

It seems to be the better\\nopinion that, in the creation of the world, granite was first\\nformed. We are assured that granite appears to be the fun-\\ndamental rock of the earth s crust, and that wherever we\\nreach the base of the stratified rocks we find them resting\\nupon granite. This being so, it follows that New Hamp-\\nshire is entitled to the credit of being part of the earliest\\ncreation. And that Jaffrey had a larger interest in that\\ncreation than any of her neighbors is shown by the fact,\\nthat on the subsequent partition the larger portion of the\\nMonadnock was assigned to her.\\nIt is one of the jests about Father Sprague, as he was\\ncalled, long the minister of Dublin, that, discoursing one\\nday upon faith, and quoting the passage of Scripture re-\\nspecting its power to remove mountains, he turned his eye\\nthrough the window to the mass of granite in full view, and\\nexpressed a doubt whether that applied to the Monadnock.\\nIf there have been any very great changes in the struct-\\nure of the earth here since the period of creation, they are\\nnot chronicled. The Monadnock exhibits no evidence of\\ndisturbance, by faith or by volcanic influences. The only\\nfires have been upon its exterior surface. At the settle-\\nment of the township it must have been covered nearly to\\nits summit with a dense forest. Some of my earliest recol-\\nlections are of fires on its sides, which furnished pillars of\\nsmoke by day and of fire by night, sufficient to have guided\\nthe children of Israel, if their path to the Promised Land had\\nlain in this vicinity. These fires left a tangled windfall,\\nand a bald rock, as it was called, at the top, which was\\nperhaps bare before that time. Possibly they are responsi-\\nble, in some measure, for my inability to hunt up a re-\\nspectable bear story, as a part of the minor history of the\\ntown.", "height": "3235", "width": "1944", "jp2-path": "historyoftownofj00cutter_0600.jp2"}, "593": {"fulltext": "JAFFREY CENTENNIAL. 54 1\\nBut if the mountain has not changed its local habi-\\ntation, the town has its geologic and historic problem\\nof a different character, in the meadow lying just east of\\nthis village. Some twenty years since, in one of my occa-\\nsional visits to Jaffrey, I found Dr. Fox engaged in remov-\\ning large pine stumps, with roots of great size and length,\\nfrom his portion of the meadow, on the westerly side and\\nhe showed me, at the distance of a rod or two from the up-\\nland, small pieces of wood bearing evidence of having been\\ncut by the beavers, and supposed to be parts of a beaver-\\ndam, taken from a depth of some five feet below the surface.\\nThere were sticks of yellow birch and of alder, about three\\nor four inches in diameter, cut at the ends by a grooved\\ninstrument.\\nIt was not surprising that the beavers should have had a\\nhabitation in that vicinity. In fact, recent inquiries show\\nthat this town must have been a favorite locality with them.\\nBut it was a mystery how, in the present conformation of\\nthe land, there could have been a beaver dam in that spot.\\nRecently it was determined to have a further examination,\\nand it was soon ascertained that there had been a beaver-\\ndam at the outlet of the meadow, on the south-east, near\\nMr. Cutter s tannery, in the place which any sagacious\\nbeaver might have designated for a dam and the conclu-\\nsion was readily reached that what had been discovered by\\nDr. Fox was the remains of a beavers cabin, on the west-\\nerly shore of the pond which must have been formed by\\nthis dam. And so it proved. Selecting a spot a short\\ndistance from that opened by Dr. Fox, we struck another\\ncabin, shown clearly to be such, by finding the beavers bed,\\ncomposed of small twigs, leaves, and grass, well constructed\\nin layers, the general color being of a light orange when\\ntaken out, but becoming dark very soon on exposure to the\\nair.

The beavers\\nbed was about seven feet below the surface, and when made\\nmust have been in a dry position, and above the surface of\\na pond. By what process of accretion had this pond been\\nfilled, and some seven feet of mud deposited above the bed\\nOn testing the depth of the mud with a pole, it was found\\nto be about thirteen feet. In the centre of the meadow it\\nmust be much more. The surrounding hills, at the present\\ntime, do not give evidence that great aid in filling could\\nhave been derived from them, indicating that the basin\\nmust have filled itself, to a great extent, from its own\\nresources. Sufllicient material must perhaps have been\\nwashed in for the commencement of the process.\\nDr. Fox states, that, in clearing his meadow of these\\nstumps and roots, he dug down into the mud in some\\nplaces to the depth of ten feet and that he found three\\ntiers of large pine stumps, perhaps none directly over the\\nothers, but on three different levels, one at the surface,\\nthe second about a foot below the bottom roots of the first,\\nand the third about the same distance below the second,\\nbringing the third about on the level with the beavers\\ncabin. The trees were very large pines, generally three or\\nfour feet in diameter, and similar in the several tiers.\\nThis statement is supplemented by Benjamin Cutter,\\nEsq., who says that in clearing his part of the meadow he\\ndug cross ditches, and that at the intersection he found\\nthree large stumps in a perpendicular line the upper one\\ndirectly above the other two the two upper of pines, one\\nto two feet in diameter the lower apparently of birch, and\\nabout one foot and that there were pine stumps at the\\nsurface, near or quite four feet in diameter, within, prob-\\nably, ten rods.\\nThat trees grow and decay is no marvel.

Pine\\ntrees four feet in diameter do not grow in a short period,\\nand when grown it requires some time to resolve them, by\\na natural process of decay, into good meadow mud, capable\\nof sustaining another like growth.\\nI can hardly assign less than five hundred years perhaps\\nit may be a thousand as a time when this beaver s cabin\\nwas erected, and his bed made.

It is hardly probable that guns fired at Charlestown\\ncould be heard here, with the New Ipswich hills and the\\nforest intervening, even on a quiet day, when there was no\\nmeeting-house to raise. Moreover, the battle was on Satur-\\nday, which was as good a day for a battle as any other day,\\nbut would hardly be selected as the time to raise a meeting-\\nhouse, lest there should be some work remaining which\\nought to be performed the next day.\\nThe conclusion to be derived from the improbabilities is\\nfortified by direct hearsay evidence. I received a letter a\\nfew days since from Dr. Jeremiah Spofford, of Groveland,\\nMass., in which he says, My father, Jeremiah Spofford,\\nas a master-carpenter, framed that church.

Captain Adams was\\none of the contractors to build the house, and was a carpen-\\nter himself.\\nIt may be objected that unlucky Friday was as little\\nlikely as Saturday to be selected as the day to begin such a\\nwork. But the explanation seems easy. The town had\\nvoted to raise by the middle of June. The contract would\\nnaturally specify that as the time of performance. There\\nwould be a desire and time enough for compliance. The\\nfifteenth of June was Thursday.

We\\nmay give up the tradition without a sigh. Neither the\\nmeeting-house nor the battle will suffer by the loss of it.\\nThere was some delay in settling a minister.

A few weeks subsequently, Josiah Bissell, a lead-\\ning merchant in town, made a voyage to New York for the\\npurpose of buying goods, and brought home two pieces ot\\nSchofield s cloths, which were purchased for the foreign arti-\\ncle.

The prep-\\naration of the ground, the seeding and the sowing, the pulling,\\nrotting, breaking, swingling, and hatchelling of the flax, with\\nthe spinning and weaving superadded, involved too great an\\namount of labor for a successful competition with the foreign\\nmanufacturer, as soon as the profit from other branches ena-\\nbled the farmer to purchase the foreign article, manufactured\\nwhere labor is so much cheaper.

I sincerely regret that\\nI am not better qualified to do justice to the subject. I can\\ntruly say that whatever success has attended the efforts of\\nthose sons of New Hampshire who have sought fame or\\nfortune in other states and other countries has been largely\\ndue to the honorable distinction in which their birth-place\\nis held. The old-fashioned standard of morality and integ-\\nrity has been so nobly maintained by those who have\\nremained at home, that the wanderers carry with them a\\ncertificate of good character in the name of the state from\\nwhich they hail, and that goes a great way toward assuring\\nthem success, even among the Philistines. While our state\\nhas not, for obvious reasons, increased so rapidly in wealth\\nand population during the last fifty years as some other\\nsections of the country, it certainly has not fallen behind\\nany section in those things which tend to a higher state of\\ncivilization, good government, and right living and in the\\nmean time it has been furnishing, in larger proportions, I\\nbelieve, than any other New England state, the intelligent\\nenterprise which has, as it were, annihilated time and dis-\\ntance, and enabled us to do our missionary work in the far\\nWest, and at the same time keep good hours at home.\\nThere is one advantage, Mr. President, which we who go\\naway from home have over those who stay, and that is the\\npleasure of returning and we also acquire a keener appre-\\nciation of the natural beauties of our native place. Although\\nI spent my youth here in the shadow of Old Monadnock, I\\nI never knew or imagined the grandeur of the scenery I was\\ndaily looking upon until I had an opportunity of comparing\\nit with other places. There is something ennobling in the\\npresence of this scenery beyond the power of any works of\\nman. And, living in these Pacific Railroad times, it is a\\nsort of satisfaction to reflect that the works of nature here", "height": "3195", "width": "1897", "jp2-path": "historyoftownofj00cutter_0657.jp2"}, "650": {"fulltext": "598 HISTORY OF JAFFREY.\\nare upon such a gigantic scale that the profaning hands of\\nrailroad contractors are almost powerless against them.\\nBut, Mr. President, the occasion on which we have met\\nbrings up other scenes and other events than those which\\nare merely amusing or ridiculous. We have, this day, to-\\ngether turned our eyes back upon the places that knew us\\nin our infancy and youth. To us New Hampshire presents\\nsomething other than her granite hills yes, sir, and some-\\nthing more interesting even than the grassy vales, or the\\npearly brooks, or the silvery water-sheets, that are associ-\\nated with the past time of our early days. Dearer to us still\\nthan the imagery of those bright scenes is the memory of\\nthe friends that we first loved, those who nurtured us in\\ninfancy, who guided us in youth, who opened to us the ave-\\nnues of knowledge, who warned us of the miseries of vice,\\nand presented to us the inducements of virtue, and who\\nmade us what we are.

The\\nstreams were filled with trout, and the ponds with pickerel.\\nOver this wild domain, in majestic grandeur, then clad with\\nfir, now bald with age, peered the lofty Monadnock, survey-\\ning the vast territory around, watching the progress of\\nevents as the white man, here and there, made inroads in his\\nwild domain. Such was Jaffrey, when, in 1752, Moses\\nStickney, Richard Peabody, and seven others made an at-\\ntempt at settlement in the south-east part of the town.\\nThrough fear of the Indians they all soon left, except one\\nof their number, known as Captain Platts. During their\\nstay, on Dec. 9, 1753, Moses Stickney had a son born,\\nwhose name was Simon, who is supposed to be the first\\nwhite child born in Jaffrey. He never after resided there,\\nbut returned with his father to Boxford, Mass., and, on ma-\\nturity, settled in Holden, and afterwards removed to New\\nHaven, Vt., and died in 1791. He left three daughters.\\nThe next attempt at settlement was made by a colony of\\nhardy adventurers from Londonderry, encouraged probably\\nby their brethren, who had previously made a settlement in\\nPeterborough, an adjoining township. But few of these,\\nhowever, had the hardihood to remain as permanent settlers.\\nAfter enduring the hardships and privations of a pioneer\\nlife for a time, they sold their rights to a Massachusetts\\ncolony, mostly from Essex and Middlesex counties. These\\nwere the men who, on the 14th of September, 1773, met and\\norganized the town. This was done by virtue of a charter\\ngranted by His Excellency John Wentworth, then govern-\\nor of the province of New Hampshire, and council, at\\nPortsmouth, August 17, 1773, who changed the original\\nname, Middle Monadnock No. 2, to Jaffrey, in honor of\\nGeorge Jaffrey, Esq., one of the original proprietors.

Sixteen of their men were in the\\nfield, and, while raising the church, it is said the sound of\\nthe cannon was heard from Bunker Hill.

But my present\\nsurroundings and duties will compel me to decline your invita-\\ntion and remain at home. If tradition be not at fault, it is just\\none hundred years since my grandfather, Phineas Spaulding, in\\nthe south-west part of the town, broke the forest that afterwards\\nmade him a pleasant home. Then the only higliway was a\\nfoot-path through the tangled wildwood and trees that had\\nbeen marked and scathed by the woodman s axe or hatchet\\nthe only guide to those denizens of the forest, from one point\\nto another, to meeting and to mill. Then, too, the slow-\\nfooted ox, yoked and hitched to the two-wheeled cart in sum-\\nmer and the heavy sled in winter, was the only pleasure-car-\\nriage for week-day or for Sunday, and the only mode of con-\\nveyance from neighbor to neighbor, or from town to town.\\nHorses were few, and mostly used for riding on the back. It\\nwas no uncommon thing for man and wife to be seen riding,\\nboth on one beast, he in front on the saddle, and she behind on\\ntlie pillion. Young ladies with their beaux would thus vide,\\nfor recreation and for pleasure, till the pillion gave place to\\nanother horse and side-saddle, and then they travelled side by\\nside. Sixty years ago, on the spot now occupied by your com-\\nmodious hotel, stood the dwelling-house of Deacon Eleazer\\nSpoftbrd, which, with out-buildings, and grist- and saw-mill\\ndown by the river, was about all that could be seen for build-\\nings where your pleasant village now stands. Spoftbrd s mills\\nwere known for their superiority of workmanship over every-\\nthing else of the kind, for many miles around. One little\\nanecdote, as touching the old saw-mill, I can remember in my\\nboyhood days. When it was first in operation, as one gate\\nshut and another opened, moving th.e heavy carriage with its\\nponderous log to and from the saw, a colored man, standing by,\\nin amazement exclaimed, Massa Spoftbrd, don t you think\\nyou could invent a machine to hoe corn.?\\nThose were primitive days, times when our grandfathers\\nand grandmothers had to toil for their daily food and right\\nglad were they if they could bring the two ends of the year to\\nmeet, with a few spare dollars for deposit against the time of\\nneed.

I\\nhave been told that I was born in Jaftrey, but it was so long\\nago (17S4) that none of the present inhabitants could testify to\\nthe fact but as it would be equallv difficult to produce any evi-\\ndence to the contrary, I may as well, on this occasion, claim the\\nhonor. I imderstand that my parents removed from Jaflrey to\\nNew Ipsv^ich when I was about a year old, and the most that\\nI recollect of Jaftrey relates to my being sent there to school,\\nabout seventy-eight years ago. The school was kept by a for-\\neigner by the name of Dillon, who had a great reputation for\\nteaching penmanship, and was about as much celebrated for\\nthe use of the rod as the pen and I dare say tradition may\\nhave preserved some anecdotes of his severe teachings in\\nthat line, which were of a nature to be remembered as long as\\nany of his other lessons. At this school I was a classmate\\nwith General James Miller, who got his education rather late\\nin life and we stutlied our English Grammar together, in the\\nsame seat, he at the age of twenty-one, and I at the age ot\\neleven. I think Dillon never attempted to use the rod upon\\nMiller if he had, the future warrior might have commenced\\nhis campaign some years before the War of 181 2. Among the\\nschoolmates that I remember were Dr. Abner Howe, and his\\nbrother.
