boast. Soon after coming to Wolcott in 1800, he brought in the first wagon ever seen there, for the purpose of carrying away and bringing in merchandise, and for thirty years that wagon and others were kept on the road, much of the time, night and day.

" All sheep and oxen," and the forbidden swine; and all butter and grains, and gold well refined, as well as some "shin plasters."
