Almon Twitchell,7 M. D., like many of New England's sons who have attained professional eminence and elevated positions in socie- ty, was brought up on a farm, and accustomed to manual labor. Ilis early opportunities for the acquisition of an education were con- fined to district schools of the humblest character and the shortest annual terms, seminaries of a higher order being then too remote and expensive for the limited means of his father. He seems there- fore to have early set about educating himself, so that at the age of 18 years he commenced teaching, and made it his annual winter vocation until he commenced the practice of medicine. In Apr. 1837, he began the regular study of his profession with Dr. Ruel Barrows of Fryeburg, and continued with him for three years. In 1840 he graduated at the Medical School of Brunswick, Me., and immediately commenced practice at Paris, Me., from whence, after three years of successful labor, he removed to Bethel, bis na- tive place, where he now resides in the enjoyment of a wide practice and the peculiar confidence of his fellow-citizens. In 1856 he was elected from the Co. of Oxford toa seat in the Senate of Me. IIe m. Jly., 1843, Phebe M. Buxton, dg. of Capt. Jeremiah B. of N. Yarmouth, and had -

In 1816 he united with the Cong'l chh in B., with which he walked through life. Ile was of a philosophical turn of mind, and many years ago published the following Riddle, which has not yet received a solution : -
- The Earth and the Moon travel around the Sun. If they travel one way, every time they go around the Sun there will be one day more than the Earth revolves on its axis, and one Moon more than the Moon travels around the Earth. If they travel the other way, the Earth will revolve on its axis oneo more than we have days, and the Moon will travel around the Earth once more than we have Moons.
QUESTION. Which way should they travel to have the extra day and extra Moon ?

C. 251. Benoni " Twitchell3" was evidently a man of character and considera- tion, distinguished for courage, energy, and enterprise. He was one of the 30 grantces to whom Wm. Taylor, Peter Sergent, John Nelson, and John Danforth, heirs of Joseph Dudley, Wmn. Stoughton, and Maj. Rob't Thompson, the original grantees of Oxford, convey- ed that grant July 8, 1713, on condition that they settled upon it within two years, the samo having been relinquished and forfeited by " the 30 French Protestant families whom they had brought over" and settled conditionally upon it. Jan. 14, 1722-3, he was styled on Oxford records Innholder ; and between Jan. 1, 1720 -- 1, and April 15, 1740, ho was largely engaged in the transfer of real estato in O. and vicinity. In 1727 he purchased of John Chan- dler, of Woodstock, 100 acres, containing a mansion house in Oxford village, which bo had previously owned, and which, May 10, 1733, he, then living on Manchaug farm, near Oxford, sold to his son Seth, of the aforesaid place, for £40, and £120 of Seth's portion

of the 100 acres. He became the proprietor of lands at l'oquiog, now Athol, and July 16, 1740, for the tender love he boro towards his son Jeremiah, gave him a deed of lot No. 10, on the E. side of the river, and W. side of a highway in P.

He was a man of genius, and the wants of the settlement drew it out. He became blacksmith, carpenter, cooper, watch and clock-maker, and manufacturer of all his own tools and of every article required by the farmer, mechanic or tradesman. There are still preserved in the family, many relics of his workmanship, among which are a compass and chain. He imbibed the spirit of '76, and was among the first to resist British oppression in the field, as his noble father had been in the General Court. In the battle of Bunker Hill he received a wound in his arm, which always troubled him to the day of his death. He became a member of the first court of sessions for Oxf. Co., and represented B. in the house, and Oxf. Co. in the senate of his State. He was of a kind, generous, charitable and forgiving spirit ; a man of daily family prayer, an efficient sup- porter of an evangelical ministry, and one of the pioneers in the cause of temperance. Hle inherited a strong constitution, which, by regular industry and strict temperance, he preserved to the age of almost 87 years. He d. Nov., 1845.

XI. Win. L.,7 M. D., b. Feb. 17, 1825, at Bethel, Me. The first fourteen years of his life were passed in his native town, in which time he was favored with the usual ad- vantages of common schools, and had the additional privilege of spending a few months at the Academy on Bethel IIill. In the fall of 1839 he removed, with his father's family, to Rushville, Yates Co., N. Y. The fol- lowing winter he commenced attending school at the academy of that place ; and, being extremely fond of study, soon began to cherish the idea of obtaining a liberal education ; and, as a consequence, he then, and ¿ subsequently, whenever he had an opportunity to attend school, pursued a course of study preparatory to entering college. When about nineteen years old, an unfavorable combination of circumstances compelled him to relin- quish his hopes of entering college. However, in the spring of 18-16, being then of age, he resolved to engage in the study of medicine ; and, in the fall of that year, he returned to his native State, and soon commenced his studies under the instructions of Dr. John D. Lincoln, of Brunswick, Me. In May of 1850, he graduated at the medical school in Brunswick, and in July of the same year went to California, where for three years he devoted most of his time to gold mining, attending to the practice of medicine only when he could not well avoid it. In July of 1853 he started on his return to the Atlantic States, and arrived in New York on the 10th of August. On the 26th of August he was married to Miss Lydia P.

Russell, only daughter of Mr. Jacob Russell, of Rich- land, Oswego Co., N. Y. A part of the fall was spent in visiting friends in western New York and in Maine, and for the remainder of the time he was employed in a drug store in Brunswick, Me. About the first of Decem- ber he went to New York, where he spent the winter, as a member of the class at the medical college on Thir- teenth street, and in attendance upon clinical lectures at Bellevue hospital. On the first of March, 1854, he moved to Benton Centre, Antes Co., N. Y., where he settled and engaged in the practice of his profession, and where he still continues to reside and practice at the present time, May 18th, 1857.
