I spent money and much\\ntime, years ag-o, to call the attention of the people to this\\nmatter. They are now in the full realization of the situa-\\ntion. I have not time, nor do I propose, to go into a gen-\\neral discussion of the subject but, in as few words as\\npossible, wish to call your attention to those interests which\\ntend to the future prosperity of your town.\\nWhen I was asked by your committee to speak to you\\nto-day upon the future of North wood, I instantly said to\\nmyself. The future will be what the people make it. Men,\\nto a great extent, make their own future so do communi-\\nties, towns, states, and nations. The boy is the father of\\nthe man. If you see a young man idle, vicious, loafing about\\nthe streets, visiting low places of resort, indulging in coarse\\nlanguage and filthy practices, disrespectful to his parents\\nand those with whom he comes in contact, perfectly ac-\\nquainted with the various brands of cigars, the quality of to-\\nbacco, and the flavor of old rye, careless of his expendi-\\ntures, and reluctant to meet his engagements, is it not easy\\nto determine his future Then, upon the other hand, if a\\nyoung man is honest, industrious, anxious to improve his\\nmind, willing to listen to wise counsels, and stands aloof\\nfrom all vile practices and low indulgences, truthful and\\nfaithful, kind to his parents, and respectful to those with\\nwhom he comes in contact, is it not also easy to predict his\\nfuture As with individuals, so with communities, because\\ncommunities, towns, and states are made up of individuals.\\nSo you see, Mr. President, that a responsibility rests upon\\neach and every individual in all communities to see to it\\nthat the |)ractices and morals of all shall be such as shall\\ncommend the community to the confidence of honorable\\nand virtuous men. Moreover, it should be remarked, that\\nevery dollar of capital that is created or earned has its\\ninfluence upon the people, and tends so far to elevate,\\nenrich, and benefit the town.

If harvesting the product\\nat a proper time is neglected, it is money lost, as hay or\\nany other crop. It is true, that, in some localities, the ex-\\npense of getting the crop to market would be greater tlian\\nthe sum realized therefrom hence there is no otlicr way\\nthan to let it remain. But, in this town, all timber and a\\nlarge part of the wood can be harvested with profit. The\\ndemand is constant and must continue. I have no doubt,\\nthat, if the surplus wood and timber in this town had been\\njudiciously disposed of thirty years ago and the proceeds\\nput at interest and the interest compounded once in six\\nmonths, the sum total to-day would be a larger sum than\\nthe whole valuation of the town.

When the country was largely covered with\\nforests, and grants were made with crude ideas of exact\\nlocations, charters often overlapped each other, or left nar-\\nrow strips or irregular spaces between them. This was\\noften the occasion of much perplexity and litigation. One\\nof the earliest things done by the proprietors of Nottingham\\nwas to settle their boundaries. The result left them a large\\nand irregular tract of land beginning and extending further\\nin a northerly direction than they had anticipated. Hence,\\nthe point they had chosen as the capital of their township\\nwas considerably south of the center. This circumstance\\ncost them, eventually, the loss of two tracts of land now\\nincluded in the towns of Deerfield and Northwood. Being\\nso far from the center, the bonds that held them to the cap-\\nital were weakened, and they gravitated towards other and\\nnew centers.\\nBut the position chosen for the compact part of the town\\nwas beautiful for situation. It was upon the height of a\\nlarge swell of land, gently sloping in every direction. It\\nwas twenty-five miles south-east from what is now the state\\ncapital, fourteen miles north-west from Exeter, and tAventy\\nwest from Portsmouth. The blue waters of the Atlantic,\\nand the wdiite canvas of vessels entering the harbor at\\nPortsmouth, could be distinctly seen wliile little lakes spar-\\nkled like gems in the wilderness, and Pawtuckaway Mount-\\nain gracefully rose in the west, and Saddleback in a more\\nnortherly direction, and l)al)bling streams, affording ample\\nwater-power, found their way along the valleys. Here, at\\nan elevation of about four hundred and fifty feet above the\\nsea level, they laid out a compact village with great exact-\\nness in the form of a cross.", "height": "3414", "width": "1971", "jp2-path": "historyofnotting00cogs_0109.jp2"}, "110": {"fulltext": "\u00c2\u00a78 IITSTOnY OF XOTTIXGHAM.\\nThe following is an explanation of the Plaif of Noting-\\nham laid out and drawn for settlement\\n1.

Soon after, the enemy were discovered to have landed on\\nthe shore at Morton s Point, in front of Breed s Hill, under cover of a\\ntremendous fire of shot and shell from a battery on Copp s Hill, in Bos-\\nton, which had opened on the redoubt at daybreak.\\nMaj .-Gen.

They formed as they disembarked, but remained\\nin that position until they were reinforced. At this moment, the vet-\\neran and gallant Stark harangi;ed his regiment in a short but auunated\\naddress, then directed them to give three cheers, and made a rapid\\nmovement to the rail fence which ran from the left, and about forty\\nyards in the rear of the redoubt, toward the Mystic River.\\nPart of the grass, having been recently cut, lay in windrows and\\ncocks on the field. Another fence was taken up, the rails run through\\nthe one in front, and the hay mown in the vicinity suspended upon\\nthem, from the bottom to the top, which had the apjiearance of a breast-\\nwork, but was, in fact, no real cover to the men it, however, served\\nas a deception to the enemy.

In tlie territory now known as New\\nHampshire, small settlements, independent of each other,\\nhad been made at Dover, Portsmouth, Exeter, Hampton,\\nand elsewhere. As they suffered from the misrule of men\\nclaiming proprietorship of territory, and from the unfriend-\\nliness of some of the Indian tribes, they sought protection\\nfrom the State of Massachusetts. This state had claimed\\nthat the territories of New Hampshire and Maine were in-\\ncluded within the limits of their original charter, and will-\\ningly took these settlements under their care, which proved\\nnot a little beneficial. Immigrants from England came in\\ngreater numbers, not only increasing settlements already\\nexisting, but pushing further from the sea-coast into the in-\\nterior, making settlements at Epping, Lee, and Nottingham.\\nNottingham was incorporated as early as 1722, including\\nwhat may now be known as Deerfield and Northwood, in\\naddition to its present limits. Deerfield was incorporated\\nas a town in 1766. But the eyes of the energetic and rest-\\nless settlers of the lower towns did not fail to observe the\\nhigh slope of land lying on a line between Portsmouth and\\nConcord. Hunters found this region abounding in game,\\nand gave, on their return to settlements nearer the coast,\\nglowing descriptions of the excellence of the soil and the\\nrichness of the forests. A few had from time to time con-\\nstructed temporary huts, and purposed permanent settle-\\nments but they were not the men to fell the trees and rear\\na population so remote from any consider, ble settlement as\\nwas this tract of country long known as North Woods.\\nIn 1762, there arrived in the east part of the town, and\\nhalted there for the night, four wearied, weather-beaten.", "height": "3414", "width": "1971", "jp2-path": "historyofnotting00cogs_0583.jp2"}, "584": {"fulltext": "510 ni STORY OF NOBTHWOOB.\\ndetermined men. The day was one of those warm, sunny\\ndays in spring, when the south winds blow, and tlie heart\\nleaps with joy at the sight of fresh soil and green leaves,\\nand at the sound of the blue jay and the cunning raven, ns\\nwell as at the plaintive strains of the thrush. These men\\neach bore upon their shoulders an ax and a gun, with\\nprovisions to last them a few days. No wife, no child, ac-\\ncompanied them. They build their booth of pine boughs,\\nkindle their fire, and, partaking of their rude fare, lay\\nthem down for rest. Wearied as they were, they could not\\nsleep without interruption from the bowlings of the wolves\\nin their vicinity. On the morrow, they survey the tract of\\nland around their camp-fire, and find it to be a beautiful\\nswell, sloping towards the rising sun, in the neighborhood\\nof meadows abounding in forage and adequate water-power\\nfor mills. Three of these men, Moses Godfrey, John and\\nIncrease Batchelder, resolved here to make for themselves\\npermanent homes, while the fourth, Solomon Bickford, re-\\nsolved to look further.

Hence\\nthese sensible men resolved to obviate this by making their\\nsettlements near where a supply was already provided in\\nmeadows, of which they took possession, with none to dis-\\npute their right.

There was a wild prejudice against\\nwhat had the least claim to antiquity, whether in doctrines\\nor in customs.

Some of them were\\nmembers of Baptist Churches, and though they well\\nunderstood that the town could not, and would not, settle\\nas minister one who was not thoroughly educated accord-\\ning to the standard of the times, and of decided orthodox\\nviews, and though tliey well knew that their church was\\non the extreme southern limit of the town, and could not\\ncommand the gathering of the people generally, yet they\\nearly purposed to secure to themselves a house of wor-\\nship, and the ministrations of the gospel, according to\\ntheir cherished conceptions of right. They were aided in\\nthis by their dislike of Orthodox Congregationalism. The\\nBaptist Church had at this time but few men in the minis-\\ntry who had been liberally educated, and they claimed to\\nhave a dislike of college-learned ministers. They held to\\nlay preaching that any man, who felt himself called to\\nhold forth, in whom the church might see evidence of being\\ncalled of God to preach, might be set apart to this office.\\nMr. Pillsbury was of this character. He had been educated\\nto a degree that enabled him to be a successful teacher in\\nthe limited branches of study of those days, and had the\\ngift of speaking to the edifying of the people who were in\\nsympathy with Baptist notions. And so he was ordained\\nby the churches to the work of the ministry in the church\\nin East Northwood. He had no stipulated salary, but de-\\npended upon the voluntary contributions of his hearers, and\\nhis own industry. The contributions to his support were\\nvery irregular and unsatisfactory, tantalizing his hope,\\nwhile he was ever stung with the conviction that his ser-\\nvices were unappreciated and unrewarded. In 1789, Mr.\\nPillsbury fared best of any year in all his ministry, when\\nthe town in its corporate capacity hired him to preach half\\nthe time at the upper meeting-house, and the other at the\\nlower, and agreed to give him for his services as support,\\nfifty bushels of corn, one hundred pounds of beef, fifty", "height": "3414", "width": "1971", "jp2-path": "historyofnotting00cogs_0611.jp2"}, "612": {"fulltext": "544 Z7/^T0i?r OF nobthwood.\\npounds of flax, five barrels of cider, twenty cords of wood,\\nand the keepinu- of three cows, ten sheep, and one horse,\\nsuuuner and winter.\\nIt is said that ]\\\\Ir.

The place of one s birth, the scene of his childhood and youth,\\nhowever unlovely it may be in itself, has its attractions and charms\\nfor him. But Northw ood, aside from these considerations, is attractive\\nand interesting beyond most other places. I have never seen a place\\nso picturesque as it. Within its narrow limits there are situated,\\nwholly or partially, nine little lakes, the like of which I have never\\nseen elsewhere. AVlien a boy, these lakes afforded me great opportu-\\nnities for sport. In their waters I learned to fish and swim. On their\\nsurfaces, I made my first attempts at skating and paddling a canoe.\\nIn the lake near my father s, season after season, I was in the habit of\\nspearing fish in the spring, and of gathering water-lilies in the summer.\\nI have not time to refer to all the loved attractions of your town.\\nOne other must suffice. The view both far and near from a point at\\nor near where Mr. Jonathan Clark s family resided, is both command-\\ning and beautiful. The road in both directions from this point, for\\ntwo miles or more, has the appearance of a thickly-settled street. On\\nthe east, the whole country between this point and the ocean can be\\nseen, and even the ocean itself, with its regular and unbroken horizon,\\nwhile on the west and north-west the sky-line is entirely different it is\\nirregular and broken by the mountains and high lands which appear\\nin this direction. The scenery viewed from this point by itself in\\nany direction is pleasant but, when viewed and considered as a whole,\\nit presents a beautifully variegated picture.\\nThe last time I visited New Hampshire was four years ago, on an\\noccasion not unlike the one proposed by the people of Northwood. It\\nwas to attend the centennial celebration of the establishment of\\nDartmouth College. The delight which I experienced on that occa-\\nsion makes me anxious to be present at yom celebration. I have\\nthought all along that the Northwood celebration would afford me\\ngreater satisfaction than did that of the college, and that it would be\\nthe day of all others that I should mark and write down as the holiday\\nof my life.

There are many incidents\\nof this latter trick handed down by tradition. In one in-\\nstance, the roast was suspended by a cord before the ample\\nfireplace.

It is circular in shape, seldom rip-\\npled by winds, and its deep waters abound with fish and\\nwere the favorite resort of ducks and wild geese. It was\\naround these waters that a small tribe of Indians lived a\\nhundred years ago. The northern shore of this little lake\\nis in the line between North wood and Nottingham. At the\\ntime to which we refer, there were but few families in the\\nneighborhood, and the paths lay through forests of pine,\\nhemlock, beech, and maple.

This Daniel\\nhad a Ijrother named Joseph, \\\\\\\\o resided in Northwood,\\nwhere John G. Gate now resides. He had spent the even-\\ning with his brother and started to return home. The\\nheavens were covered with thin, fleecy clouds through which\\nthe moonbeams struggled, giving all things a garish as-\\npect. Mr. Gate was a man of strong frame and steady\\nnerve.

The wolves seemed aware that they must at\\nonce secure their prey, or be deprived of feasting, and made\\na desperate onslaught only to be hurled back with the faith-\\nful club whose swingings he now redoubled. At last, with\\neyes glaring fearfully upon him, they lingered in sight of\\nhis dwelling and allowed him to enter unharmed.

Dr. Hill graduated from the medical department\\nof Dartmouth College in 1831, Dr. Mussey being at the\\nhead of that school of medicine. He began the practice of\\nmedicine in Chichester in the same year, and removed to\\nXorthwood in 1832, where he established a reputation for\\nuprightness of Christian character, as well as being es-\\nteemed the beloved physician, making himself useful to\\nthe schools and helpful to the church.

The\\nson of Thomas was Benjamin, who was the father of Ben-\\njamin, Moses, Enoch, Daniel, and Joseph.
