Few towns or cities are in the enjoyment of more benefactions than Newburyport. It is not so much a matter of special note that so many of its sons at home and abroad acquired wealth. But while in many towns, those who have gone out and acquired higher social position as well as large fortunes, are often reluctant to revive memories of poorer days, the sons of Newburyport seem to have always retained their affection for their early home and to have re- membered it with substantial gifts in their dying hours. Some of these benefactions have already been mentioned in sketches of the benefactors. There are others which ought to be referred to.

Moses Atkinson, of Newburyport, who died in 1814, made the following provision in his will :

" I give to the school district to which I belong, toward the support of a school for reading, writing, arithmetic and English grammar, after the payment of the several legacies herein above bequeathed, all the money and notes which my said wife shall leave unexpended, except the last article in the first clanse of this instrument ; also about ten acres of salt marsh, situate in Salisbury in said county ; also about seventeen acres of land in said Newbury, being part of my homestead ; also three and three- fourths cow rights in the general pasture in said Newbury ; also about four acres of pasture land in said Newbury. . . . All the said bequests to be under the direction of a committee to he chosen hy a majority of the legally qualified veters in said district in the month of April, annually forever."

By the will of Margaret Atwood, who died in 1832, "an annual legacy " of twenty dollars was left in aid of the intant-school of Newburyport.

By the will of John Bromfield, of Boston, who died in 1849, it was provided that

" The sum of $10,000 be invested at interest in the Hospital Life In - surance Company in the city of Boston, so and in such manner as that the selvetmen or other duly authorized agents of the town of Newbury- port for the time being may annually receive the interest which shall accrue or berome payable for or in respect of said deposit; and I direct that by or in behalf of said town, the interest so received shall be an- unally expended, one-half in keeping the side-walks in the public streets of said town in good order, and the other half in the planting and pre-

serving trees in said streets, for the embellishing and ornamenting of said streets for the pleasure and comfort of the inhabitants."

By the will of Rev. William Horton, who died in 1863, it was provided that after the death of his wife and mother the city of Newburyport should be his residuary legatee to the extent of one-quarter for the purchase of land and for the erection of a commo- dious almshouse.

Under the provisions of the will of Mathias Plant Sawyer, of Boston, the sum of five thousand dollars was paid to the municipal authorities of Newbury- port, of which the income was directed to be paid annually to persons having the control of the public Library.

By the will of John M. Bradbury, of Ipswich, son of Ebenezer Bradbury, of Newburyport, who died in 1876, a further sum of one thousand dollars was given to the Public Library.

In 1865 a number of publie-spirited citizens and former residents subscribed a sum of money, and pur- chasing the Traey mansion, on State Street, at a cost of sixteen thousand dollars, conveyed it to the city for a public library building. The sum of five thousand dollars remaining of the subseription after the pur- chase of the estate was paid over to Edward S. Mose- ly, Caleb Cushing and Henry C. Perkins, trustees, the income thereof to be expended in the repair of the library building or its general maintenance.

On the 26th of March, 1870, William C. Todd gave to the Public Library the sum of three hundred dol- lars annually, for a term of years, to be expended in the maintenance of a publie reading-room in the library building.

By the will of Mrs. Lucy M. Follansbee, of Salem, daughter of Thomas M. Follansbee, of Newburyport, the sum of three thousand dollars was given to the city, the income to be expended in the purchase of fuel for distribution among the worthy poor.

By the generosity of John S. Toppan, of New York, son of Jerry Toppan, of Newburyport, the handsome gateway to Oak Hill Cemetery was furnished.

By the will of Joseph A. Frothingham, of New- buryport, who died in 1880, the sum of one thousand dollars was given to the Public Library, the income to be used in the purchase of books.

The following elause in the will of Mrs. Eunice Atkinson Currier, who died June 17, 1873, explains the conditions upon which the property now known as " Atkinson Common," was devised to the city of Newburyport :

" And whereas I desire to leave some testimonial of my regard for my native place, and to have as a monument to the memory of my father, the lato Matthew Atkinson, the last of whose family I nm, a piere of land in the city of Newburyport to be used as a 'Common' public and free to all the inlmabitants of said city, and to be known forever an the ' Atkinson Common ; ' therefore upon the express condition that my wishes in regaid to said Common are fully carried out by the city council of Newburyport, I do give and devise to the city of Newbury- port a lot of land, infield and pasture, situnte in said city, between High street and Merrimac street, and between land of the late Win. C. Merrill on lligh street und Moses L. Chase on Dexter street, and adjoin-

ing land of Thomas Merrell, Jr., on Merrimac street, so long ss the same shall be used as a common, as aforesaid ; and I do also with in- teotious as aforesaid give and devise to the said city of Newburyport, so long as the same shall be used as a Common, as aforesaid another lot of land, situated on lligh street in said city and nearly opposite the afore mentioned field and pasture lots, and described as lying between land of the late Robert Dodge and land of George Roof ; and I further will and declare with the intention of creating a Common, as aforesaid, that my executor, with the advice and consent of the board of mayor aud alder- men of Newburyport may sell this last-named lot (and in this case my wish is that it first he offered at private sale to the heirs of the late Robert Dodge for a reasonable sum) and with the proceeds of said sale may purchase a lot now owned by heirs of the late Wm. C. Merrill on High street and contiguous to the afore-named field aod pasture lot, to be added thereto as a part of said common, ur in the event said lot of said heirs of Merrill cannot be purchased at a reasonable sum, then the said proceeds, or any surplus remsining after said purchase, shall be paid to the city treasurer in trust, to be applied to the general improve- ment of said common. And the above devises of land to the city of Newburyport are upon the express condition that the said city council shall formally accept the Sume within one year after my decease, agree- ing to comply with the conditions, wishes and requests berein misde and expressed. It is my wish and request that no hospital, almshouse, asy- lum, schoul-house, or any building that may be offensive to the neigh- borhood, shall be erected on said common, and that no public street be laid out or cause to pass through the same ; and in case the city council of Newburyport shall fail to comply with all the afore-named condi- tions, wishes and requests, then and from that time the aforesaid lots of land shall revert to Joseph Atkinson, of Newbory, in the state of Ver- mont, and I give and devise the same, in that event, to him, his heirs and assigns forever."

After this digression from the current of this nar- rative, we come to the War of the Rebellion, in which the record of Newburyport was no less patriotic than in the War of the Revolution.

As is well known, on Monday, the 15th of April, 1861, after the surrender of Fort Sumter, the Presi- dent issued a call for seventy-five thousand troops to suppress the insurrection. The Third, Fourth, Sixth and Eighth Massachusetts Regiments were ordered from headquarters in Boston, to muster forthwith on Boston Common. The Eighth was an Essex County regiment, under the command of Colonel Munroe. The Cushing Guards, of Newburyport, under the command of Captain Albert W. Bartlett, was Com- pany A in that regiment. Captain Bartlett received his orders by telegraph at 3.30 P.M. on Monday, and at once ordering his carriage, served before dark a summons upon his entire command to meet that evening in the armory. All necessary arrangements were made for departure the next morning, and on Tuesday the company left Boston with its regiment for Washington. Its service expired at the end of three months. The experiences of this regiment are well known. Its journey to Perryville, in Maryland, its passage by steamer to Annapolis, after the discov- ery that the railroad to Baltimore had been destroyed, its rescue of the "Constitution," its occupation of the railroad station, and its repair of engines and tracks of the railroad leading to Annapolis Jnnetion have all become parts of imperishable history. On the return of this company it was received by the Vet- eran Artillery Association and a salute was fired on the arrival of the train. The following ode, in honor of the occasion, was written by Anne G. Hale, of Newburyport :

" Go forth with shout and sung to meet The patriots home returning ! Be every star npon our flag With brightest lustre Imrning,

To hunor those whose noble hearts, Fair Freedom's weal embracing,

Their life-blood offered for the blot Its ruddy stripes defacing !

" And vie we proudly to extend A welcome rich and royal

To greet the kingly souls who sped, With a devotion loyal,

When fiercest dangers threatened us, The nation's cry obeying ;

Their young lives-ull that life holds dear- L'pon her altar laying.

" No timid dastards, tarried they,- Awaiting calls to glory Till bright the cloud of battle hung O'er fields of victory gory ;- But, first and foremost hastoned on, Nor once from duty swerving,-

Their courage high, their prowess bold, Less valiant brothers nerving.

" Brave, generous, just and true we know Our conntry's first defenders-

A Massachusetts soldier now Her good name ne'er surrenders !

The same upon her laureled heights, The blue Potomac warding,

As were our grandsires, years ago, Our bays and rivers guarding.

" So lift our banner high to day, Made brighter by their story, And cry 'God bless them one and all- Redeemers of its glory !'

The soldier-lads of sixty-one,- We will their memory treasure, And pray . where'er their fortunes lead, God bless them without measure !' "

The next company which left Newburyport for the war was the MeClellan Guard, which, under the com- mand of Captain Luther Dame, left Massachusetts June 27, 1861, and was assigned to the Eleventhi Reg- iment. It took part in the engagements at Bull Run, Yorktown, Williamsburg, Fair Oaks, Savage Station, Glendale, Malvern Hill, Bristoe Station, Second Bull Run, Chantilly, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Wilderness, Kelly's Ford, Locust Grove, Spottsylvania, Petersburg, Strawberry Plains, Deep Bottom, Poplar Spring Church, Boydtown Road, North Anna and Cold Harbor-twenty-four battles in all.

The next company entering the service was Com- pany B, of the Thirty-fifth Regiment, under the command of Captain Albert W. Bartlett. It was mustered into the service August 21, 1862, and was mustered out June 9, 1865. It was in the engage- ments of Antietam, Fredericksburg, Jackson, Camp- bell Station, Knoxville, Spottsylvania, North Anna, Cold Harbor, Weldon Railroad, South Mountain, Vicksburg, Poplar Spring Church, Hatcher's Run, Fort Sedgwick, Fort Mahone and Petersburg.

The next company was Company A, of the Forty- eighth Regiment, under the command of Captain C. M. Woodward. The regiment was commanded by

Colonel Eben F. Stone, of Newburyport, and was en- listed for nine months' service. It left the State December 27, 1862, and served in the assaults on Port Hudson and Donaldsonville. Other companies and individual enlistments followed, furnishing Newbury- port men for the Eighth Regiment, Third Battalion of Riflemen and Third Unattached Company, all for three months ; the Sixtieth Regiment, for one hundred days ; the Eighth Regiment, Forty-fifth and Forty- Eighth Regiments for nine months; the Sixty-first and Sixty-second Regiments for one year; the Ninth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Seventeenth, Eighteenth, Nine- teenth, Twentieth, Twenty-second, Twenty-third, Twenty-fourth, Twenty .sixth, Twenty-eighth, Twenty- ninth, Thirtieth, Thirty-first, Thirty-second, Thirty- fifth, Fortieth, Fifty-fourth, Fifty-sixth, Fifty-seventh and Fifty-ninth Regiments for three years ; the Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, Thirteenth and Fourteenth Batteries of light artillery for three years; the First, Second, Third and Fourth Regiments of heavy artillery for three years; the First Battalion of heavy artillery for three years; the First, Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth Regiments of cavalry for three years; the For- tieth and Forty-eighth New York, the First Company of sharp-shooters for three years; and the Veteran Reserve Corps, the Regular Army, the United States Veteran Volunteers and the United States Colored Troops.

The whole number of enlistments in the army credited to Newburyport was thirteen hundred and forty-three, including two colonels, one chaplain, one adjutant, fifteen captains, twenty-three lieutenants, one sergeant-major, sixty-eight sergeants, one com- missary-sergeant, eighty-eight corporals, eighteen musicians, one artificer, one blacksmith, one saddler, one wagoner, and eleven hundred and twenty-one privates. Besides these there were two hundred and forty-two enlistnients in the uavy credited to New- buryport, making the total number of credits fifteen hundred and eighty-five.

Immediately after the departure of the first volun- teers, sewing and knitting circles were formed by the ladies, and these, with other associations subsequently formed, did much to relieve the soldiers from discom- fort. One of the circles was formed in the south part of the city, under the direction of Mrs. Samuel Pettin- gell, and another by the Misses Aubiu and her friends. A knitting circle was formed in October, 1861, under whose direction, before the 15th of that month, two hundred pairs of socks and fifty blankets were sent to Dr. Elliott, of St. Louis, in response to an ap- peal sent by him to New England. The Rev. S. J. Spalding, in an interesting series of articles on New- buryport in the Rebellion, published in the Newbury- port Herald, says, that " parish sewing circles turned their activity to the aid of the soldiers, and from Chain Bridge to the Oldtown Church our women were busy in the preparation of articles for the boys in the army."

He also says that "on Tuesday, August 16, 1862, a public meeting of the ladies was called at the City Hall, and the Soldiers' Relief A-sociation was formed, and Mrs. John C. March was elected president. This society collected in cash during the three years of it- existence, $12,714,21, and the boxes sent to the army between August 14, 1862, and July 28, 1865, contained 3222 cotton shirts, 1589 flannel shirts, 2522 pairs of woolen socks, 781 pairs of drawers. 286 dress- ing gowns, 2700 bandages, 5258 handkerchiefs, 3100 towels, 562 pairs of slippers, 1666 comfort bags, 1120 packages of farina, etc., 1859 boxes of condensed milk, cocoa and broma, 238 pounds of tea and sugar, 2031 bottles of wine, and 287 bottles of cologne. It is esti- mated that the total amount of money and articles appropriated was about $30,000." At the close of the war an unexpended balance of about $1500 remained, which has been distributed in charities to the needy children of soldiers.

Nor was the city in its municipal capacity back- ward in its efforts to furnish soldiers, by the payment of bounties, and by promised protection and care of soldiers' families. The war debt of the city reached the sum of one hundred and twenty-three thousand dollars, and no man murmured at the increased taxa- tion which it involved. The following is a list of Newburyport men who were killed or who died in the war, taken from the files of the Newburyport Herald :
