Proceeding eastward, we come to the place known as the Brewer House. "Squire Pepperell Frost built his house here. And farther west we come to the residence of Capt. John Jones, now called the Fowler place. At the corner of the road is Parson Bradley's, and Jeremiah Riggs lived where the Chenerys now reside. Across the road lived Capt. Isaac Mason.

Mr. Charles Bartlett once built large ships at the old wharf now rotting away at Stroudwater. Old Dr. Jacob Hunt once harnessed his horse here to answer calls by day and by night for the whole region of country around. At this old village there was formerly a vast amount of trade. Teams would come down from the country loaded with farm produce and cooperage to be loaded at the old wharf, and the teams went back loaded with West India goods and rum.

Beyond Stroudwater lived the Johnsons, Slemons, and Porterfields, all famous in their day in town and parish af- fairs. Near the present site of the Marine Hospital, at the eastern edge of Deering, there was once a block-house for protection against the Indians, who made much trouble by continual skirmishing and fighting across the Presumpscot River, particularly at the falls near the mouth. There was another block-house at Stroudwater, at the top of the hill on the north bank of the Capisic stream, where now stands a large elm beside the main road as you go to the Reform School. The positions of these two wooden forts were com- manding, and the custom was for the infirm or the women to keep a lookout for the Indians while the men were at work. The firing of a gun was the signal of danger. Sometimes, when the men were to be away for a whole day, the women and children and the old people would spend the day in these block-houses.

The estate of Capt. James Deering, for whom the town of Deering was named, was once the old Brackett farm, where, in a hollow on the edge of the oaks, occurred the fight with the Indians on the Ilth of August, 1676,-one hundred years before the Revolution. Nathaniel Mitton, a brother of Brackett's wife, was killed in cold blood. Brack- ett and his wife, and five children, and negro servant, were taken captive. The Indians proceeded round Back Cove to the Presumpscot River, where they killed Robert Corbin, Ilumphrey Durham, and Benjamin Atwell. They then entered the settlement on the Neck, and shot John Muujoy and Isaac Wakely. Another party shot Thomas Brackett, a son of Anthony, and took his wife and children captive. There was a garrison on Munjoy Hill, to which many fled

after the work of' slaughter began, but feeling unsafe there they retired to Bang's Island, where they were secure from further attacks. Thirty-four persons were killed and taken captive.

David Winslow, the Friend, who built the large house near Decring Bridge, was a justice and a highly-esteemed citizen.

The Woodfords have left a memorial of their character and enterprise in the village which they founded. Ebenezer D. Woodford was for many years an enterprising mannfacturer of combs and other wares. He built up the Corners which bears his name in its interests, and was an active and useful citizen, a man of zealous care for the interests of education and religion, and noted for his beneficence towards many who were dependent upon him. Samuel Jordan, Esq., was latterly associated with him in business relations.

Mr. Jordan's house is on the site of Parson Browne's barn. Parson Browne sold a large traet of land (a hun- dred acres or so), extending from the Brighton woods to the shore, or near it, to Chandler Rackleff for $2200.

The Stevens family were the settlers upon the plains which bear their name. The first was Capt. Isaac Stevens, who kept the early hotel; then Zachariah B. Stevens, Esq., and then his son, Samuel B. Stevens. These are among the best of the honored names in the town. Through the different generations may be traced an honorable business record, and a high-minded and gentlemanly bearing.

George Bishop* was an early resident at " Bishop's Cor- ner," where also resided the Morrills, -- Levi and Rufus,- who contributed in no small degree to the prosperity and honor of the town, and for whom the " Corner" is named.

Beyond Morrill's Corner lived Silas Ester, a very sub- stantial and worthy member of the Society of Friends. Dr. Solomon Allen lived at the corner which bears his name, and for many years performed a faithful professional service. In the upper edge of the town, near Duck Pond, lived Mr. James Gowin, who was a gentleman of character and influence in his day.

Mention may be made here of John B. Russwurm, the son of a gentleman who owned a large tract of land in Deering, running from Ocean Street to Morrill's Corner. This man was a negro, who graduated with honor at Bow- doin College. At one time he was editor of a paper in New York. In 1829 he went to Liberia as a merchant ; he there established a paper, and for sixteen years was the honored Governor of a colony at Cape Palmas, under ap- pointment of the Maryland State Colonization Society. He died June 17, 1851.

* This George Bishop was the man who had charge of the small box in the east porch of the old Bradley chareb-the box with a glass front-that so many anxious young men and maidens looked into on a Sabbath morning or between meetings, and wondered when Mr. Bishop would publish their intention of marriage. For be it known that getting married in those days was much more of a solemn thing than to step round to tho parson's and in five minutes' time have that yoke and cord put on that love ought to make light and easy to be worn. Then the people had to know all about it, and although it might be no- body's business, yet everybody was at liberty to discuss the matter for two full weeks in advance. We can well understand how the subject was discussed. The girls felt certain that the bride was not to make much of a wife, and as for the man-why, of course, every girl had refused him a dozen times. Good enough for bim.

WATER-POWER AND MANUFACTURES.

The water-power of Westbrook affords greater manufac- turing facilities than are to be found in any other portion

of Cumberland County. The Presumpscot River, fed by its 45 lakes and ponds, whose aggregate surface is about 100 square miles, is twenty-two miles in length from Sebago Lake to tide-water. The estimated volume of water dis- charged by this river is 20,400,000,000 cubic feet per year. The volume employed at Cumberland Mills, esti- mated from the statement of the superintendent, George W. Hammond, Esq., is about 50,000 cubic feet per minute. This run, continued throughout the working-days of the year, for ten hours a day, would carry off about 9.5 billion cubic feet. The water of this river, naturally remarkably uniform in its flow, is controlled by artificial means, so that for the practical purposes of extensive manufacturing it is constant throughout the year. There is a dam eight fect high at the outlet of Sebago Lake, by which a head of four feet is now commanded over the whole surface. It is capable of being raised four fect more without incurring more than trifling damage for flowage. The capacity of this immense and constant flow of water for hydraulic purposes is thus estimated :

" A head of six feet, giving a volume of 8,363,520,000 cubic feet, would supply 44,600 cubic feet per minute for the ordinary working hours of the year. This, which in- cludes the storage alone, would yield, on a fall of twenty feet, as at Cumberland Mills, a gross power of 1688 horse for the time specified. It would yield, in its fall of 247 fect to the tide, a gross power of 20,846 horse, 833,840 spin- dles throughout the year. To this requires to be added the power due to the natural low-run volume of the river, to arrive at the constant aggregate of its manufacturing power from Sebago Lake to the sea. . .. Of the 20,000 to 30,000 horse-power available upon this river, and unsur- passed in all respects, but a small portion is yet in use. The absolute immunity of the power from dearth or freshet, the superiority of the natural sites for improvement, the proximity to market, conspire to give this river unusual attractions to the manufacturer."+

There are three important water-powers in use on the Presumpscot River, which have built up around them two thriving villages : one at Cumberland Mills village, five miles from Portland, on the Portland and Rochester Rail- road, and two in the village of Sacearappa, six miles from Portland, on the same railroad.

CUMBERLAND MILLS.

The Cumberland Mills power has a fall of 20 feet, con- taining 14 mill-powers, or 2013 horse-powers, of which about one-half is now in use in the manufacture of paper. The mean velocity of the stream is 1.52 feet per second, or 181 inches, taken from five observations; the mean depth of the stream, taken five hundred feet above the falls, is 3.31 feet, the width of the stream being one hundred and seventy- six feet.

" The mills are owned by S. D. Warren, Esq., and are worked the whole year. They give employment to 125 men and 100 women, and produce an annual manufacture of over 81,000,000. The improvement of the power has iuereased the population and wealth of the village to a very large extent, there being from 1854 to 1867 an in-

f Water-power of Maine.

crease of resident families from 16 to 66, and of dwelling- houses for the same period from 16 to 48. Besides the extensive paper-mill of S. D. Warren & Co., there are the following manufacturers and tradesmen : J. O. Harmon, boots and shoes ; George W. Brown, razor-strops ; W. II. P. Files, painter ; E. R. Howard, carpenter ; physician, Dr. J. L. Ilorr.

SACCARAPPA.

The upper power at the village of Saccarappa has a fall of 12 feet, and the lower power of 19 feet. These powers contain, respectively, 13 and 8 mill-powers, making a total of 21 mill-powers, of which number 13 are now in use. The cross-section of the upper fall is about 10 feet, and that of the lower 8 fect, taken 15 feet above the falls.

The mills at these falls are those of the Westbrook Manufacturing Company, Frank Haskell, agent, engaged in the production of cottons and duck, employing 75 men, 175 women, and producing $300,500 worth of goods annually; W. K. Dana, manufacturer of cotton yarn, em- ploying 20 men and 40 women, and producing $100,000 worth annually ; Westbrook Foundry Company, employ- ing 10 men, and producing annually $20,000 worth of work ; Knowlton Brothers, machine-shop, annual product $4000; J. W. Warren, cotton-warps, 850,000; Harkell Silk Company, machine-twist and sewing-silk, $75,000; George E. Davis, leather-board ; S. H. List, N. Weston & Co., flour- and grist-mills. In addition to these the follow- ing are manufacturers and tradesmen: Foster & Brown, machinery ; John Adams, carriages ; J. W. Libby, C. S. Ritchie, harness ; F. B. Wiley, B. D. Hanson, C. E. Lewis, boots and shoes ; Lord, Haskell, Neal & Co., moccasins ; Dana A. Brackett, tailor ; James Pennell, Temple H. Snow, tinware; Loudon, Hanson & Co., S. E. Mclellan & Co., smiths; J. F.

DUCK POND.

This pond is over 3 square miles in extent, and about 20 in average depth. It is 171 feet above tide, and is sup- plied chiefly from small ponds and springs. The stream which forms its outlet is 10 miles in length from the pond to Pride's Bridge, where it joins the Presumpscot, and has a fall in this distance of 161 feet. The average width of the stream is about 40 feet.

At the outlet of the pond there is an improved water- power of 50 horse upon a fall of 17 feet, which is owned by the Cumberland Bone Manufacturing Company, and employed in the manufacture of bone manure and of pails and tubs. This establishment gives employment to 25 men, and produces in the manufacture of bone manure about $25,000 annually, and in that of pails and tubs about $20,000. The latter is known as the Portland Woodenware Company, C. P. Maxwell, Superintendent. They also deal in lumber of all kinds, of which Kendall & Whitney, of Portland, are agents. Thayer & Elder have a steam-mill ; Edward F. Thayer, Joseph Elder, and William Elder, dealers in shook and long and short lumber. W. H. Jordan and Albert Dingley & Co. have stores of general merchandise at this place. There are a post-office, a Good Templars' lodge, and a lodge of Patrons of Ilus- bandry.

SCHOOLS.

WESTBROOK SEMINARY.

" The Westbrook Seminary had its birth in a resolution passed by the Kennebec Association of Universalists, in its annual session at Greene, Sept. 29, 1830."-Rev. W'm. A. Drew, in Gospel Banner of April, 1870.

" This convention provided for a meeting at Westbrook, to take into consideration the matter of a elassical school or seminary, ' digest a plan for the same,' and taking measures for accomplishing the object. Revs. W. A. Drew, of Au- gusta ; S. Brimblecom, of Norridgewock ; W. I. Reese, of Portland ; Hons. C. Holland, of Canton ; J. Dunn, Jr., of Poland ; S. Gardiner, of Bowdoinham ; Elisha Harding, of Union ; Maj. J. Russ, of Farmington ; Dr. A. Pierce, of Greene ; Gens. Thomas Todd, of Portland, and J. Her- rick, of Hampden, were appointed to address the public upon the subject. There was considerable discussion in this con- vention as to location. Waterville, Winthrop, and West- brook were named ; but finally, as there was no similar in- stitution in New England (or indeed, as far as known, in the world), it was thought to make the school as accessible as might be to Massachusetts and New Hampshire, and it was established at Westbrook. According to appointment, a meeting was holden at Stevens' Plains, Oct. 27, 1830. Dauiel Reed, of Lewistown, was chosen president, and Daniel Winslow, of Portland, secretary. It was voted to adopt a constitution, and petition the next Legislature for an act of incorporation. This was obtained, and the West- brook Seminary incorporated, and the following trustees appointed : J. C. Churchill, F. O. J. Smith, Daniel Wins- low, Nathan Nutter, William Slemmons, Moses Quinby, Josiah Dunn, W. A. Drew, D. MeCobb, G. W. Tinker, Alfred Pierce. These, with others allowed by the charter, met the following May, and organized as follows : HIon. J.

IION. SAMUEL JORDAN.

Hon. Samuel Jordan was born in the town of. Raymond (now Casco), Cumberland Co., Me., June 5, 1805. Hedeseends, the sixth generation, from the Rev. Robert Jordan, of the Eng- lish Episcopal Church, who emigrated from England about the year 1640, and settled at Richmond's Island, Cape Elizabeth, and married Sarah, the only daughter of Capt. John Winter, who had occupied the island for fur-trading with the Indians. Of this union there were six sons, from whom the Jordans in this country have chiefly descended.

The Rev. Robert Jordan was persecuted by the Puritans of Massachusetts, driven away by the Indians, and died in Ports- mouth, N. Il., in 1679. His third son, Dominieus, married Hannah Tristram, of Saco, by whom he had three sons and three daughters. He settled and lived in Spurwink.

Dominicus, his eldest son, married Catharine Maxwell; lived for a time at Cape Elizabeth ; then, about 1774, moved to Raymond. Their children were William, Ezekiel, Na- thaniel, Hannah, Mary, Elizabeth, and Martha. He died at Raymond, March 13, 1823; his wife, at the same place, Sept. 26, 1826.

ITis eldest son, William Jordan, married Anna Leach, and settled, lived, and died in the northern part of Raymond. Their children were Mark, Catharine, Peggy, Dominicus, William, Peter, Martha, Asa, Samuel, Elizabeth, and Asa (21), all deceased except Samuel Jordan, the subject of this sketch.

Upon the death of his father, at the age of fifteen, he came to the town of Westbrook (now Deering), where for two years he was in the employ of Elisha North, The next two years were spent at lebron Academy, where he pursued a course of study with a view of entering West Point. His design in this respect was given up in deference to the wishes of his mother. Ile then came to Woodford's Corners, and became agent for the sale of combs manufactured by E. D. Wood- ford. The agency extended through the New England States and the Provinces, and as far south as Baltimore, Md. In 1832 entered into partnership with his employer, under the firm-name of Woodford & Jordan. This partnership continued about six years, having in the mean time added to their busi- ness the manufacture of tinware. Upon the dissolution of this

partnership Mr. Jordan continued in the manufacture of tin- ware with Gerry Cook, firm-name Cook & Jordan. These partnerships were both successful. The latter continued three years. Mr. Jordan then purchased the farm formerly owned by Capt. Thomas Seal, his father-in-law, situated in Deering, and has since devoted his attention principally to its manage- ment. He was president of the Westbrook Bank for six years.

Mr. Jordan has been one of the leaders in his locality of the Democratic party. He has filled the following offices : selectman, one year; representative in the Legislature in 1848-49; trustee of the Westbrook Seminary a number of years; director in the Atlantic and St. Lawrence Railroad (now Grand Trunk) ; and postmaster of Portland from 1857 to 1861.

Mr. Jordan was married, Nov. 7, 1832, to Euniee Quinby Seal, daughter of Capt. Thomas and Ann (Frost) Seal. Mrs. Jordan was born in Westbrook, Feb. 4, 1808. Their children are as follows : Dominicus, born Aug. 17, 1833, died an infant; Emily F., born July 17, 1836, living at home; Horace M., born Dec. 10, 1837, journalist, connected with the Boston Traveler; Jane Elizabeth, born Jan. 17, 1840, wife of J. W. Thompson, of Deering; Arthur W., born Jan. 25, 1842, mar- ried IIelen A. Warren, of Deering; Henry I., born Jan. 31, 1844, physician and surgeon, died Oct. 16, 1870, in Stillwater, Minn. ; Edward C., born March 17, 1846, civil engineer, mar- ried Eliza P. Thomas, daughter of Hon. W. W. Thomas, of Portland (his wife died Mareh 4, 1876); Isabella F., born Aug. 4, 1849, wife of F. W. Sewall, cashier of First National Bank, Wiscasset, Me. Mrs. Jordan died May 23, 1863.

It is not too much to say of Mr. Jordan that few men still living have been more closely identified with all interests of his adopted town. He took an active part and was largely instrumental in securing the division of the town. He has contributed liberally of his means towards the building and support of its churches and other public institutions. A kind husband, a devoted father, an obliging neighbor, and a stead- fast friend, Mr. Jordan's deelining years are deservedly brightened by the loving attention and devoted affection of his children, and the good-will and respeet of the entire com- munity in which he has passed a busy life.

JAMES M. BUZZELL, M.D.

James M. Buzzell, M.D., was the seventh son of the Rev. John Buzzell, of Parsonfield, Me., and was born in that town Nov. 4, 1812; and, as his father was a firm friend and sup- porter of President Madison's administration, his birth occur- ring about the time of his re-election, he was honored by being named after this great patriot and statesman. Receiving an academieal education as preparatory to the study of the medical profession, this being the profession of his choice, he was favored with the opportunity of commencing his studies under the pre- ceptorship of the family physician, who was one of the most scientific, skillful, and deservedly popular surgeons in New England, the Hon. Moses Sweat, M.D., and who afforded him every facility and aid to qualify him for the practice of the profession. His first course of medical lectures was at the Bowdoin Medical College, Brunswick, Me., in 1834.

Prof. R. D. Mussey, M.D., who lectured at the Bowdoin College at this time, gave Dr. Buzzell a kind invitation to spend the summer of 1835 at Hanover, N. H., and attend his private lectures upon surgery, which invitation was gladly accepted, as Dr. Buzzell desired to avail himself of every op- portunity and means to qualify himself for the practice of surgery. While under Prof. Mussey's instruction, Dr. Buz- zell earved a model of the sphenoid bone five times the natu- ral size, and which Prof. Mussey pronounced to be, before the class, a perfect model.
