* Dea. Fales enlisted in 1813, with some 15 others, under Lieut. Rob- bins, who, however, being promoted in the regular service, did not accom- pany them in their one year's campaign. They went from here to. Portland with Ensign Farnsworth, and thence up the Lakes and on our northern frontier, where they had some sharp encounters with Indians and others in the woods. Of those fifteen, the following only, from the same village, are recollected by him, (but their names were not received in season for insertion at page 2)5, Vol. Ist). viz. : John Ham, James Watson, John Ulmer, Jonathan Spear, David Maker, and - Prime ; many of them enlisting again or dying in the service.

* This gentleman, who with his brothers has attained to so many offices of trust, writes to the compiler that "we. the Farwell boys, had no advan- tages, only a common country school education, of from six to twelve weeks in a year ; we had to haul the wood, cut it, and take care of a large stock of cattle, and, at the same time, travel more than a mile to school over the coldest of all hills to the old log school-house with its rock chimney where the schools were, for the most part, kept. We con- inenced the world without a cent I was married when but nineteen, without a cent in my pocket or a home to go to. This, (1864), is my sixteenth year that I have been steamboat agent ; for 14 years I was agent of about all the boats that ran on these waters ; a part of the time I had 18 boats a week,-they have been in here every hour in the night and day, and I never was sick, away from home, or caught napping, so but what I was on the wharf to meet them. I have collected more than $100,000 for the boats ; - can tell every cent [ ever collected, who I collceted it of, who I paid it to, and what I paid for all the freight that ever came or went to and from here and to whom consigned. I have not wet my lips with anything stronger than coffee for 42 years. And now at 50 years of age. I have enough to eat, drink and to wear, and I thank Heaven for it. I will now make a prophecy : I expect to live to see this rebellion put down, the shackles struck from every slave on the American continent. the public debt and interest all paid, and these United States to contain 100,000,000 of people."
