Humbly Shews
That Your Petitioner Ignorant of the Consequences of an Opposition to the lawful Authority and of the Nature of Rebellion, did by the Arts and Instigation of Some of his Neighbours (in whom he placed confidence), appear at Worcester with others to Stop the Setting of the Court of Justice there. - Ant not attending to the Banefull Evil of his Conduct Did Continue to Side with those who Opposed the Authority and Government of this Common- wealth untill the Month of January last; When your Petitioner, Convinced of his folly and Wickedness, did Return home to Submit himself to the Lawfull Authority,

and to the Mercy of that Government he had so Grossly affronted.
That upon Your Petitioners Return he was taken by Virtue of a State Warrant and Committed to Goal in Boston, where after Remaining Some Weeks, He was through the Clemency of the then Governour and Council, permitted to Return home upon Bail.
That When the Supreme Judicial Court did Set at Worcester at the last Term your Petitioner was Indited, tried and Condemned for High Treason and Received Sentence of Death for the same.
Your Petitioner feels no Enmity towards the Jury, nor does he arain the Wisdom and Justice of the Court; but Acknowledges the Justice of his Sentance; And lays him- self at the feet of that Authority, who only can Constitu- tionally Save his life, and pleads for that Mercy he has so Justly forfeited.
He Prays that your Excellency and Your Honours in Your Great Wisdom and Justly acknowledged Goodness would be pleased to Pardon Your Destressed Petitioner Who has Aged Parents bowed with Grief, and should he fail in his Application, their Grey Heads will Go Down with Sorrow to the Grave.
Your Petitioner has a Wife and a number of Promising Children pained with Grief and Anxious for his Welfare.
Your Petitioner again Most humbly prays he may be Pardoned. Your Excellency and Your Honours will there- by Save a Soul from Death, and hide a Multitude of Sins. And his life thus Spared shall be Devoted to the Service and Support of Government, whos Destinguishing Char- acteristick is Mercy and Clemency. And these Children shall be taught to speak of the Honour and to Support the Dignity of this Commonwealth. And all shall Join fer- vently to pray, that Your Administration may be easey to Yourselves, and happy to the Community over whome you do worthyly Preside; That you may enjoy Peace of Mind here, and at Last Receive that Crown and Diadem which fadeth not away.

The petition of his sorrowing wife is also worthy of a place here.
To his Excellency James Bowdoin Esq' Governor and Commander in Chief of the Commonwealth of Massachu- setts and the Honrable the council of the same.
The Petition of Betty, the wife of Henry Gale who is now under Sentance of death Sollisits the Goodness and Clemency of Your Excellency and Honors, for his Pardon. There is not the least doubt but that an Application from one in whome all the tender Sensibillities of humanity are interested, will meet with a favorable Reception by Gentle- men of your distinguished and eminent Charracters. A husband devoted to death, with a number of Children, helpless and Indigent, depending upon the industry of there father for the necessary Supplies of life, who attentive to the manafest anguish of their Mother, catch the im- motions of her heart, and mingle their instinctive tears of Sympathy, which flow with little interruption, and add new pangs to the agonies of grief occasioned by the melan- choly prospect before her, are seenes too distressing for one to dwell on and too gloomy for Descreption.
It becomes not me to attempt to extenuate the guilt of my unfortunate Husband, but I must testify to the Recti- tude of his heart the inmost Recesses whereof, I have had greater aoportunity to penetrate, than any other mortal on the earth. He, indeed, was lead astray, to adopt measurs dangerous and destructive in their consequences, of which he had not the least apprehension, as I firmly believe, and as he has often declared.
But previous to his imprisonment, many days before the flight of Shays from Pelham, he was fully convinced of his error, returned to his ordanary Occupation and declared
254
History of Princeton
he was resolved by his future Submission and peaceable behavior to make all the attonement in his Power for his past misconduct.
With a heart disolved in grief and distracted with anxiety and fear I would humbly and ardently Supplicate your attention to my wretched Situation: Your own feeling will suggest and plead for my misery, and your Compassion and goodness will wish to extend relief and your wisdom dictate the conditions, the mode, and degree in which it may exhibited.
Your Excellency and Honors character are so respectible and conspicuous, that you are well known to be susceptible to all the most tender feelings of humanity and the irresist- ible force of conjugal affection and parental love which assures your humble Supplicant that you would wish to avoid the extremes of Rigor; and if the good and safety of Government will permit, would cheerfully extend a pardon to the unfortunate victim. For which purpose I now have recourse to your clemency and implore your merciful interposition to Save a Soul from Death compose the anxious Sollicitude of an unhappy but guiltless Wife and Children, and to rescue them from impending Ruin. I cannot persuade myself that the exercise of the divine Prerogative rested in you, the power of Pardoning offences, the brightest Gem in the Diadem of Kings, and the darling attribute of Heaven, in the present Case will be productive of consequences dangerous to society.
Could it be of any avail, I could willingly Pledge my own life as a security for his quiet and peaceable Behavior in future, being fully assured that he was convinced of the error of his conduct in opposing the course of Justice, on principles of reason, Separate from the apprehension of Danger, and that he was firmly resolved to return to the duty of his alligance, even before the flight of Shays, & which must be abundantly confirmed by the complicate Sufferings, which, the justice of Government has since, cal'd him to endure.
Your miserable Supplicant again prostrates herself before
255
Military History
your Excellency and Honors on behalf of the convict, and his deplorable family, and with a heart pierced with agoniz- ing grief and in tears, implores your mercifull intercention and clemency. But whether her application Shall meet with Success or not, She is certain you must pity her dis- tress, and whether her wretchedness already too great for her feeble frame long to Support, Shall be alleviated or encreased it Shall ever be her prayer to Heaven, that none of you may ever want the comforts which she sollisits and which is now in your power to bestow on your distressed pettitioner.
(signed) Betty Gale.
(State Archives Vol. 189, page 409.)
A similar petition of the parents of Mr. Gale, Josiah and Elizabeth Gale of Princeton is an earnest and tender appeal for mercy.
Petition of Josiah and Elizabeth Gale.
" We have brought up a large Family of Children and attended to their Education with all the Tenderness of parental Affection, supported them in Infancy & submitted to a great Variety of Disquietudes & Fatigues on their Account hoping to derive Consolation from them in the decline of Life.
We have seen some of them in Danger, Anxiety & Pain, in Sorrow, Sickness & Death whereby we have been called to spend wearisome Days & Wakeful Nights; But we can now say with mournful Accent, that we never before had seen affliction."
In addition to these there are many others on file, all of similar import, signed by scores of citizens of Worcester County. Two of these papers bear the signatures of 158 persons, many of them Mr. Gale's townsmen.
Humbly Shews.
The Petition of the Subscribers Inhabitants of the Town of Princeton and other Towns in the County of Worcester, in behalf of Henry Gale of the same Princeton, who is now under sentence of Death in said County. That though
256
History of Princeton
your Petitioners have been on the side of Government in the late unhappy Tumults and some of them have Risqud their Lives in Defense of the Constitution they are happily placed under; yet the feelings Raised in their Breasts by the Distresses of the Convicts Family, urge them to themselves on his behalf, and to Implore your Excellency and your honours to extend the Clemency of Government to him.
He has been very active in the former Stages of the Insurrection, as we have understood; But when the Popular Clamour had in some Degrees subsided, and he had time to Recollect himself, he came to a full Determina- tion (as we believe) to Return to the Duty of his Allegiance.
Your Petitioners understand he has not been in Arms out of this County; that before the Insurgents (under the Guidance of Daniel Shays) left Pelham, he was at home, attending to his ordinary Business (and as we believe) Sincerely Repented of the Part he had acted.
Your Petitioners have no doubt but that should a Pardon be extended to him; he will make for the future a quiet and Peaceable Citizen.
He has a Family whose welfare Depends upon his Industry for their subsistence; But should an Entire Pardon be Incompatable with the Good and Safety of Government, perhaps his life might yet be spared.
Your Petitioners are by no means Friends to Rebellion and thy would not Subscribe to a Petition in favour of the Principle Traitors in this County who have made their Escape, But for one who had Repented and for a man situated as this is, we Venture to Implore the Clemency of your Excellency and your Honours.
May 7, 1787.
Signed by 76 persons mostly of Princeton.
If the excitement was great in Princeton at the time of the assembling of the Regulators in Worcester and else- where, it certainly was not lessened by the arrest, con- viction and sentence of one of their own townsmen. Al-

though he had not resided in the town many years, yet he was well known and his influence established and their sympathies for him and for his family were fully aroused. Every effort that could be suggested was made for his pardon, or at least for a commutation of his sentence, but apparently without avail.
On the day appointed he was taken from the jail in Worcester to the common, where the gallows had been erected, amidst the excited crowds of interested spectators and sympathizers. When all was ready for the execution the Sheriff announced to the prisoner and to the public that a reprieve to the 2d of August had been granted, and Mr. Gale was returned to the jail.
" On Thursday last week Henry Gale the prisoner in gaol in this town, under sentence of Death for Treason, was carried to a gallows erected on the Common, and there reprieved to the second day of August next."
Massachusetts Gazette, June, 1787.
When on the 16th of June this reprieve for Gale and others, was determined upon by the Council, the Sheriffs were directed " not to communicate to any person the determination of the Council until the subjects are brot to the place where they were to have been executed & then to make the same as publick as may be."
The town of Princeton soon after this added its request for his pardon, the same appearing in full in the Massachu- setts Gazette in July, 1787.
The Rev. Timothy Fuller carried this petition to Boston at an expense of 13 shillings for himself and 6s. 8d. for Uriah Moore's horse (Town Papers).
" A treasurers warrant to Timothy Fuller for his going to Boston to prefer the Town's petition in behalf of Henry Gale by vote of the Town 0.13.0. Uriah Moore for his horse to Boston for Mr. Fuller as above 0.6.8."
The Government appeared to question the wisdom of carrying out the extreme measures, and the longer the delay the more the excitement was subsiding. On the 25th of July, Mr. Gale was again reprieved to the 20th of Septem-
258
History of Princeton
ber, and on the 12th of September was fully pardoned, and was discharged from custody on Sunday the 18th, probably the happiest day of his life. He returned to his home in Princeton, where having the confidence of his fellow towns- men, he resumed his former positions of trust and service.
Mr. Gale remained in Princeton until 1790 when he removed to Barre, Vt., where he was highly respected. Subsequently he went to Brighton, N. Y., to reside with his son where he died August 13, 1836, aged 84. He was a recipient of a pension for his services in the Revolution.I

Military History
Treating. Between 1820 and 1840, there were a number of companies of militia in town, but the rolls have been lost. In visiting the town as a young man, I used to wonder at the number of Captains and Majors, until the existence of so many companies was learned. There were four at least, at one time, I believe. One can imagine what excitement was in town, on the days of parade. The only item of interest relating to these companies is the following :
"The Committee chosen by the Light Infantry Com- pany, to consider the expediency of dispensing with the practice of treating the Company, by the officers, have had that subject under consideration, and ask leave to REPORT: That they have reason to regret that the practice was ever introduced into the Light Infantry Company in Princeton. They believe from what information they have been able to obtain, that the practice has become obsolete in most, if not all of the Light Infantry Companies in the Regiments, throughout the Commonwealth. Your Committee are aware of the generosity of the present officers of the Com- pany, and also of those who have preceeded them, and of their readiness whenever the company has been called out, upon all occasions, to display their generosity and from the manner in which it has been manifested, your committee are also aware that the expense must have been great.
"Your committee are not opposed to the practice be- cause they think the officers are not both able and willing to treat the Company; nor because they believe that the Company may not, when under the hardships and toils of a drill, refresh themselves with spirituous liquor, and be respectible officers, temperate men, and good soldiers; but it is to the principle and the president that your committee look - although as your Committee have before suggested the present officers of the Company are able and willing, it is presumed, to continue in the present practice, yet the time may come when the office may chance to fall on some of our associates, less able than the present officers, and should the practice be kept up the expense and hardship
260
History of Princeton
would be so great that many, perhaps, as a matter of economy, would be led to refuse an office, and by that means the best tallent in the the company might be lost. It is not however the purpose of your committee to discuss upon the question submitted for their considaration.
"It is presumed by your committee that it has long been the wish of every member of the company to relieve the officers from this burden, and that there is not an individual member of the company who would not rather cast in his mite, or appropriate a small pittance of his rations towards defraying the expense of refreshment for the company, than to trespass any longer upon the generosity of the officers. It is, therefore, the opinion of your Committee that the practice of treating the company with refreshments by the officers, excepting on election days, ought to be dispensed with, and for the purpose of carrying into effect the above report, should the same be accepted, your Committee reccommend the adoption of the following resolve:
"RESOLVED: as the sense of the Light Infantry Com- pany of the town of Princeton that the expense of refresh- ment for the use of said company on military days, excepting on the day of the election of officers, ought not to be borne by the officers of said Company.
"RESOLVED: that, as it expects Refreshment for the use of the Company, excepting as before excepted, the officers, non-commissioned officers, musicians, and privates ought to be considered on an equal footing, and that hereafter, all expense for Refreshment excepting etc. shall be equally borne by the members of said Company, without regard to RANK OR TITLE."
Mexican War. - No resident of Princeton served in the war with Mexico, 1847, that can be ascertained.
The Civil War. - The first action of the town upon the breaking out of the Civil War was on April 29, 1861, when the town appropriated $3000 to be used for the enlistment and drilling of recruits and for the benefit of their families.
Princeton furnished one hundred and twenty-three men for the war which was a surplus of twelve over and above
261

all demands; one-tenth of its population and more than one-third of its voters and polls.
It expended for war purposes exclusive of State aid, $14,456.52 and in State aid, $4,760.13.
