Most towns in this State were more or less settled from Massachusetts and Connecticut. For instance, Francestown was settled principally from Dedham, Wilton from Andover, Lyndeborough from Danvers. Of this town, the English population originated in different sections of Massachusetts. Some came from Billerica, as the Kittredge, Sprague, and Dowse families ; some from towns south of Boston, Plymouth, Abington, and Norton, as the Lincoln, Gardner, Chubbuck, Atwood, and Shepard families, and some from Roxbury, Brighton, and neighborhood, as the Chandler and Holbrook families. Some names once known in this town, have now become extinct, as any one may see, by visiting the old graveyard, where he will find such names as McDuffee, Scobey, Peebles, Caldwell, and others.

SACRED MUSIC.
SOME account of the commencement and progress of the science of Music in town.
The first instruction in music was by John Orr, Esq., about the year 1780. There were no books at that time, and the instruction was altogether by rote.
The next teacher was Ezekiel Gardner. He undertook to give his scholars some idea of time, though no book was then used, except a few tunes pricked off by himself, with the Bass and Air only, to aid him somewhat in his labor. One of these books is now in the possession of Thomas Chand- ler, bearing date 1782.
Mr. Josiah Chandler, from Andover, Mass., came to town, who had some knowledge of Music, and first taught Thomas and Samuel Chandler at the age of some ten or twelve years ; their father bought them one of the old Billing's Collection, which is supposed to have been the first singing book in town.
A Mr. Sherwin, from Tyngsborough, next taught. He introduced the Worcester Collection, and taught by rule. It is believed these were the first books to any extent in town. John Orr, Ezekiel Gardner, John Pratt, and many others attended his school, in the year about 1786.
Mr. Goss, from Billerica, was in town about 1790, and taught one winter. John Pratt occasionally instructed.
Dea. James Wallace, up to about 1790, Deaconed or lined the Psalm and set the tune, the congregation joining in the exercise. About 1790, the singers took their station in the gallery, and the Deacon's services were dispensed with in that part of the exercise. At the time above alluded to, Ezekiel Gardner was chosen leader of the singers by the town, joined by Phineas Aiken, John Pratt, Thomas and Samuel Chandler, Hugh Moor, David McAffee, Margaret Orr, Susan- nah, Annis, and Jane Aiken. About the same time a Bass Viol was introduced into the Meeting-house, which caused much dissatisfaction to many of the congregation. Some
201

were so much disaffected in consequence of such proceedings as to leave the house ; ere long, however, such feelings were dispelled, and the innocent Bass Viol remained to cheer and assist such as were performing an important part in public worship.
There was not much done in the way of instruction for several years. About the year 1800, John Pratt was chosen leader by the town, and some other persons joined the Choir. Richard, William, and Jane Dole, Joseph Colby, Daniel, Wil- liam, and John Moor.
In 1803 or 4, Thomas Chandler began to assist the young people in town in obtaining some knowledge of Music. His first efforts were in his own neighborhood. He subsequently taught at the centre of the town, and in other places.
About 1808 or 10, Samuel Chandler and Richard Dole were chosen leaders by the town. The following persons were among the singers of that day, John, Silas, and Nancy Aiken, William, Jane and Margaret Patten, Asenath and Sally Chandler, Nancy and Jane Moor, William P. Riddle, Daniel Gordon, William Chandler, Thomas Shepherd, Alfred Foster and James French.
Soon after this, Capt. William Patten commenced the labor of teaching, devoting several Winters to the business in vari- ous parts of the town; thereby keeping alive a spirit of social, joyous, and friendly feeling, which should always sub- sist (in order to success) among a singing community.
About 1820, Mr. Richardson, from Lyndeborough, we think, taught one Winter at Isaac Riddle's Hall, soon after the close of which, Daniel L. French was chosen leader by the Choir, and continued as such to 1835 or 6. Many young persons came forward after Mr. Richardson's school had closed and joined those already in the seats ; among the num- ber was Mary J. Chandler, Louisa Dole, Polly, Susannah, and Jane Riddle. At a subsequent period others were added, viz. : - Sarah A. Aiken, Margaret A. and Nancy French, Charles and David Aiken, John and William Craig, Eleazer Dole, Blanchard Nichols, and Isaac Darrah ; Alfred Foster played the Bass Viol some ten years, or until shortly before his decease, which was in 1827, being an efficient member of the Choir for many years.
Mr. French, as leader, saw the necessity of keeping up and improving, as far as practicable, the singing in town, conse- quently he devoted much time in the Winter to further its
26

advancement, the result of which was an increase in num- bers, with some distinguished singers.
Several other persons have taught in town since Mr. French left. We will name such as occur to our mind at this mo- ment : Rev. Henry Little, Ohio ; Rev. James Aiken, Glou- cester ; Mr. Hutchinson, of the far famed "Hutchinson family ;" Mr. Heath, David Stevens, James McFerson and Robert W. French.
When Mr. French left town for the purpose of preparing himself for the ministry, he was succeeded by David Stevens, 2d, as leader of the Choir, which place he held till 1848, when he too left town. During Mr. Stevens' lead, quite a number were added, to wit: - Elijah C., Martha and Au- gusta Stevens ; Harriet N. and Mary Ann French ; William, Leonard, Susan J. and Sarah F. French, Sally Riddle, Mary J. Fisher, Ann E. Riddle, Julia and Lucretia Savage, Solo- mon G., Mary Jane, Harriet and Cordelia Stevens, Elizabeth and Louisa Gordon, Maria and Sarah Parker, Hugh R. French, John U. French and James F. Moor, Jerusha and Susan Spofford, Lemuel and John Spofford, Alfred McAffee, Margaret Ann Moor, Sewel Stratton, and Stillman Shepard.
At a meeting of the singers, in 1849, James McFerson was chosen Leader. The Winter following a constitution was framed and presented, when most of the Choir become members by subscribing thereto.
The persons bearing the following names belong to the Choir, and usually sit in the singer's seats at church : Mrs. Jane McFerson, Mrs. Betsy Kendall, Laura A. Riddle, Mar- garet A. and Lavinia J. Patten, Mary Ann Shepherd, John O. and David B. French, Henry and George B. Chandler, James T. Kendall, Calvin R. and Emeline Butterfield, Fred- erick F. French, George Shattuck, Dudley H., Solomon and Lucy Manning, and Achsah Houston, Mrs. Jane Barr, Lydia J. Butterfield, Jane Nichols, Lucy Ann Whitford, Martha Goffe, Julia Barr, Greenleaf Walker and Alfred McAffee.
It is believed that the services of the Choir in this town have generally been very acceptable. Neighboring ministers when they exchange, often speak of the excellence of the singing.
In connection with the Vocal department, we will here take occasion to remark, that in the year 1828 there was an Instrumental Musical Society formed in town, regulated by a Constitution, which required the members to meet every
203

month for rehearsal and musical exercises. The following names appear upon the record as members thereof, Leonard Walker, Daniel L. French, Adam Chandler, Joseph Lombard, Chandler Spofford, William G. Campbell, Dioclesian Melvin, John Craig, Jr., John Parker, Frederic Wallace, Jesse Walker, John D. Walker, John W. Barnes, Joseph Atwood, Greenleaf Walker and Andrew Walker. The instruments used were Clarionetts, Bugle, French Horn, Octave Flute, Cymballs, Bass Horn, Bassoon, Trombone, and Drums ; thus forming the best drilled, and most efficient Band to be found in this region. They had many calls upon public occasions to go into neighboring towns where such exercises formed an important part.
At the present time (Dec. 1850,) there is a singing school taught at the Town-Hall, by Mr. Willard, of Manchester, consisting of young scholars, under very encouraging cir- cumstances. They are beginners, and their names are as follows : -
Willard C. Parker, Orlando Hall, Sylvester Shephard, Geo. Shepard, Hugh Barnard, Henry Barnard, George Woodbury, Charles Woodbury, George Whitford, Edwin Whitford, Ellen French, Celia French, Martha Woodbury, Mary Ann Man- ning, Emily Alexander, Margaret Goffe, Lucy Manning, Sarah Manning, Margaret Parker, Mrs. Jane Armstrong.
S. Greenleaf Stevens has the direction of the school as to management and arrangement.
To the above number fifteen more should be added, mak- ing a school, at present, of thirty-five.
HOPS.
ABOUT the year 1800, Mr. Wm. Campbell of Wilmington, Mass., emigrated to Bedford, and settled on a farm adjoining Dea. Phineas Aiken. The farm is now owned and occu- pied by Mr. Solomon Manning. Campbell set out and culti- vated the first hop-yard in town, and the first probably in the State. He brought the roots from Wilmington. The article at that time being high, he realized fifty cents per pound. The raising of hops became very profitable, and almost every farmer was induced to enter in the growing of this produc- tion, until Bedford became the largest hop-growing town in
204
MISCELLANEOUS STATISTICS.
New-England, and continued so, until about 1836, when the plant was so extensively cultivated throughout the country, the price declined, and nearly every farmer in town aban- doned the cultivation. Some probably, about this time, were also dissuaded, from scruples as to its bearing on the cause of temperance. The average sale of hops from 1806 to 1850 has been about 132 cents per pound.
It appears from the Inspection books of Gen. Wm. P. Riddle, there were raised in the town of Bedford in 1833, 97,320 pounds of hops, the average sale of which in Boston, for that year, was 16} per pound, making an amount of $15,571 20 cents. It may be asked, have the farmers of Bedford realized so large a sum of money, for any other crop, during a single year of the last century. Still such is the ; uncer tainty of the article, that taking one year with another, it may be questioned whether there are not other articles more safe for the grower.
FISH, WILD GAME, ETC.
FISH, in former years, was a great source of supply to the wants of the inhabitants. It was an old saying, " We hope meat will last till fish comes, and fish will last till meat comes." Hunting, also, afforded some supplies at an early period. Such entries as the following are not uncommon in the Patten diary.
" 1757, Jan. 5. Went a hunting. 6th. Hunted in com- pany with Wm. McDowell, Samuel Cochran, John Little and Thomas Mclaughlin, and got a deer a-piece. 8th. Bought two hind quarters of venison from. Samuel Richards, 44 lbs weight, at ls. 6d. per pound, amounting to £3 6s., old tenor. 11th. Went a hunting, and helped to kill a yearling buck, with Thomas Kennedy. 12th. Killed a doe fawn and yearling buck." The same year we find, "June 7th. Shared, at the setting place, three salmon and part of another."
Some now living have seen 50 or 60 salmon taken at a haul. It was a kind arrangement of Providence that in the pressing wants of the early settlement, there should be such a supply of fish and game.
The first noted place of fishing in this part of the country, was at Cohos brook, the outlet of Massabesec pond into
205
FISH, WILD GAME, ETC.
Merrimac river. The place next in importance was Amos- keag falls. Vast quantities of river fish, of various kinds, were taken at these places, annually, until the river was obstructed by mill-dams and canal-locks. Hundreds of people resorted hither in the fishing season to catch and buy fish, such as alewives, lamprey-eels, shad and salmon. The alewives were generally taken by a scoop-net, the eels by an eel-pot of wicker-work, set generally in the falls. Shad and salmon were taken by the scoop-net and seine, the net being put in the falls and swift water, and the seine drawn in the
river. The first enactments of the Legislature, respecting the taking of fish, were for Cohos brook. Regulations were made that a pass or vacant space should be left for the fish to go through the dam. The Hill seine was drawn near the mouth of the Piscataquog. The Parker seine was drawn on the same ground. The Griffin seine was drawn at the head of Smith's falls, on the east side of the river ; and the Patten seine was drawn on the west side of the river, at the head of Smith's falls. These two last seines fished on the same place, but drew in on opposite shores. The Nutt seine drew on the opposite side, against Crosby's brook, at the head of Smith's falls, against Patterson rock. At this seine, 1762, at one haul of the net, 2500 shad were taken. About the same time, at the Carthagenian seine, drawn on the east side of Carthagenian island, and opposite Thomas Chandler, Esq., 1500 shad were taken at one haul of the net. There was also Caratunk seine at the head, and Sky seine at the foot, of Walker's falls, on the west side. Quantities of fish were taken by fly-nets during the Summer and after. Shad and salmon were scooped up by the scoop-net. This was carried on at the head of the above named island. It would seem incredible what quantities of fish once filled these waters. The smaller kind were used to manure the land, as is now the case in Connecticut, along the Sound. In one instance, a man diving into the river to disentangle the net, caught a shad in his hand as he rose.
There were regular fishing companies ; twelve men would work a seine, at an expense of about $120 for twine, lead, ropes, cord, &c., with boats and oars. Sometimes shares were sold as high as twenty or thirty dollars a share ; generally, they were worth from five to twelve dollars. The fishing season commenced at the opening of the apple-tree blossoms, Fishermen observe the phenomena of nature.
