HISTORY OF NORTHFIELD.
THE KINGLETS. (Sylviidae.)
The kinglets, so named from having a spot of bright color on the crown, are tiny birds, smaller even than the warblers. They are excessively active in flitting from twig to twig, and are often seen hovering in the air for a moment beneath a leaf or a branch while inspecting the lower surface. They may be distinguished in the hand from the warblers by noting that the outer wing feather is less than half as long as the next one to it. The outer · feather of a warbler's wing is always much more than half the length of the second feather. The GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLET (Regulus satrapa) is olive-green above; wings and tail dusky edged with pale yellow; and under parts whitish. The male has a patch of yellow containing a median stripe of orange on its crown. The female is similar, except that its crown patch is entirely yellow. This species is a common migrant and an occa- sional resident throughout the year. Length, about 4 inches. The nest, a pendant structure of green moss, is attached to a spruce branch neor the tip. The RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET (Reg- ulus calendula) is colored in general like the last named, but it has a white eye-ring, and the male has on its crown a triangular patch of red, which the female lacks.' This species is only a mi- grant, appearing in April and early May, and again in Septem- ber and October. Length, nearly 41/2 inches.
THE THRUSH FAMILY. (Turdidae.)
The most familiar member of the thrush family is the ROBIN (Merula migratoria), which needs not to have either its appear- ance or habits recorded here. The woodland thrushes, which are less well-known, are like the robin in contour, but are quite dif- ferent from it in color and habitat, though they all closely re- semble each other. The HERMIT THRUSH (Hylocichla guttata pallasii) arrives from the South early in April and remains till November. It lives almost exclusively in the woods, often among evergreens, from whence, morning and evening, issues its clear, soul-stirring song. Its upper parts are olive-brown turning to tawny or rusty on the rump and tail; sides olive-gray; under parts buffy white, sharply spotted with dusky. Length, 7 to 71/2 inches. Nest on the ground. The WILSON THRUSH (Hylocichla fuscescens) is another summer resident of practically the same

BIRDS OF NORTHFIELD.
size and color pattern as the last, but its entire upper parts are tawny, the back and tail presenting no contrast. It is also much less heavily spotted beneath than any of the other woodland thrushes. Its song is of the metallic quality that characterizes all its tribe, but it is not nearly so fine as that of the hermit. This species is more commonly found near water than on the hills. Nest on the ground or near it. The OLIVE-BACKED THRUSH (Hylocichla ustulata swainsonii) is a migrant. Its up- per parts are uniform olive throughout; sides olive-gray; under parts buffy white spotted with dusky, much like the hermit. A yellowish eye-ring is a noticeable feature. This species may be looked for in May, August and September and possibly may be found here in the breeding season. Length, 63/4 to 71/2 inches. Nest in low tree. The SONG THRUSH (Hylocichla mustelina) is a rare summer visitor. Its back is rusty brown, turning to olive on the rump and tail; sides and under parts white with many round spots of dusky. On a certain June morning I saw and heard sing one of these thrushes near the so-called "Summit" on the railroad. Length, 71/2 to 8 inches. Nest in a tree. The BLUEBIRD (Sialia sialis) needs no description or encomium. It is one of the few birds that everybody knows and loves. No song is more cheering than that of the bluebird as it comes to us in spring, neither are any bird notes more doleful than those it utters while preparing to obey that mysterious impulse from within which commands it to leave us toward the end of autumn.

GENEALOGIES
BY LUCY R. H. CROSS -
Town histories have an Inestimable value. Whenever I look at a row of these fat volumes, filled with the quaint, homely annals of the early settlers, Intermixed with genealogles and portraits, enlivened with anecdotes of the old-time raisings and muster parades, bursting with details of all kinds of events from Indian massacres to the controversy over introducing a stove Into the meeting house: giving equal space to the biggest pumpkin raised in 1817 and the poor old hermit found frozen
to death in his hut . whenever I look at these repositories of humble items, dragnets of facts big and little, I feel that the greatness . of America Is bound up between their swollen covers. -Frances M. Abbott in "Granite Monthly."

INTRODUCTION.
The genealogical arrangement here employed is so simple it needs no explanation. In but few cases does the record go back farther than the first of the name in town. The varied orthog- raphy of certain names has been noted, but no authority claimed.
Where no town is mentioned as place of birth, etc., Northfield is to be understood, and the abbreviations "N. H." have been omitted. A mark of interrogation denotes uncertainty (1) ; "b." has been used for born; "m." for married; "d." for died, and "dau." for daughter or daughters.
It is not claimed that the names of all who served as soldiers in the several wars are here recorded. They have a chapter devoted to their enrollment.
Ministers of the gospel, lawyers, physicians, senators, judges and others high in the military and civil service of the state and nation stand out in goodly numbers to ennoble and brighten the following pages with the record of their deeds and "words fitly spoken." To transmit these to those who shall come after us, and to show what the influence of our emigrating sons and daughters has been on other communities, has been a pleasant task and a source of pride and satisfaction, as the flattering story has come to us from all parts of the world.

AUSTIN.

He later lived with his daughter Sally on the north end of the homestead, where he died at the extreme old age of 100 years and six months. Many of his friends called on his 100th anniversary, took his picture and in other ways marked the event. He d. May 11, 1867. A sister, Anna, m. Abel Bachelder of Oak Hill. (See Bachelder gen.)
