is a young man who has quite recently commenced practice, and is beginning very well indeed.

Attorneys .- Before the settlement of any attorney in this town, Wentworth Cheswell, one of the early settlers, and an educated business man of good judg- ment, ability, and discretion, and a justice of the peace, drew deeds, leases, agreements, contracts, wills, and other instruments for his neighbors, and also acted as a justice in the trial of causes. The first practicing attorney that settled here was - Hunt- son ; after him William Tinney. Since then there have been attorneys here as follows: Amos A. Parker, Gilbert A. Grant, Hezekiah B. Stevens, - Eldridge, James M. Chapman, William B. Small, Augustus B. Clay, Amos W. Towle, Aaron L. Mellows, Charles Il. Knight, Charles H. Smith, I. T. George, and Elisha A. Keep. Of these, Grant, Stevens, Eldridge, and Towle remained only temporarily. Parker at first went West, and afterwards married for a second wife one of the celebrated "Smith sisters," of Glastonbury, Conn., who have given the local authorities consider- able trouble by refusing to pay their taxes unless they can be allowed to vote. Mr. Clay died here, after having been in practice some three or four years. Hon. Mr. Small died here, after having been in prac- tice over thirty years. His death was caused by a fall, and striking his head upon the rail of a railroad, producing concussion of the brain, which ultimately caused extravasation and suffusion, ending in death. Mr. Mellows, Mr. Smith, Mr. George, Mr. Knight, and Mr. Keep are still in active practice in the village.

Miscellaneous .- In the spring of 1870, Hiram Jones, who had lived in this town but a short time, murdered his wife by cutting her throat with a razor. Jealousy was the cause. The next October, Jones was tried at Portsmouth, convicted of murder in the first degree, and sentenced to be hanged. On account of his age, near seventy, and of doubts as to his sanity at the time, his sentence was commuted to State prison for life. He was much displeased at this, but lived only about three years, and died in prison.

July 30, 1873, an excursion party of nineteen went from the village down Lamprey River out into Great Bay for a pleasure trip. While all on board were en- joying themselves at a distance from the shore, in a depth of forty feet of water, without any warning of danger the packet on board which they were, from some canse never satisfactorily explained, was found

to be sinking. She filled and went to the bottom, and the whole nineteen were precipitated into the water. Of these, three young ladies, named Abbie Garland, Millie Moulton, and Jennie Burnham, were drowned. The others supported themselves, some on oars, some on the hatehes, others hy swimming and supporting those who could not swim, till those who bad seen them from the shore put off in a sail-boat and rescued them.

In April, 1868, one John Hussey, belonging in Rochester, N. H., at work for J. S. & E. Bennett as a peddler, committed suicide by hanging in Bennett's stable. A coroner's jury investigated the case, but could find no assignable reason for the act except low spirits, and discouragement caused by want of success in business.

Dec. 26, 1879, Patrick Behen, a resident of this town, was found dead in the back room of a house occupied by Michael Carrigg and his wife. There were apparently suspicious circumstances attending his death. A coroner's inquest was held, but after the most thorough and searching investigation no evidence of foul play could be found. He lay upon his face and side, with his legs and arms drawn up, and appeared to have died from suffocation. No bruises, wounds, or marks of violence could be found upon the body.

A Masonic Lodge, Rising Star, No. 47, was organ- ized in this town in 1824 or 1825. Under the " Mor- gan" excitement it did not flourish, and its charter was surrendered to the Grand Lodge. In 1858 the charter was restored, and the lodge again commenced work. Since then it bas been continuously in a flour- ishing condition, and has now a membership of about 150. They have one of the finest lodge-rooms in the State. Since the restoration of its charter its Masters bave been David Murray, Samuel A. Haley, George W.

Kittredge, Benjamin Brooks, Orrin Murray, Aaron L. Mellows, Charles E. Tasker, A. Dana Wiggin, Brad- ford S. Kingman, Woodbridge W. Durell, who is the present Master.

There is also a large and flourishing lodge of Odd- Fellows in this town. It has been in existence some forty years, and has a large membership and quite a large fund.

For several years there has been here, and is now, a temperance organization of Good Templars. This association has been and still is doing a noble work. Its beneficent results are manifest on every hand, and the good work is still in progress.

Previous to the building of the Boston and Maine Railroad in 1840 and later, the Portsmouth and Con- cord Railroad, most of the goods sold here and the raw materials for the manufacturies, as well as the manufactured goods, were transported by water con- veyance. Packets and schooners from Boston, and gondolas between here and Portsmouth, made a lively business on' the Piscataqua River across Great Bay and up the Lamprey River. Since the building of these railroads the freighting bas nearly all been done by them, yet schooners from Philadelphia and gon- dolas from Portsmouth continue to bring coal and other heavy goods by water. Last year Congress ap- propriated ten thousand dollars to improve the navi- the supervision of Gen. Thorn, and ships of three hun- dred tons or larger can now come up the Lamprey River without trouble or danger. Another appropria- tion of ten thousand dollars has recently been made to further improve this river. With the judicious ex- penditure of this sum the river can be made navigable for any vessel usually engaged in the coastwise trade.

On the 6th day of February, 1866, a disastrous fire . gation of Lamprey River, which was expended under visited this village. The fire was first discovered in a barn belonging to Luey Maria Watson, near the Boston and Maine Railroad depot. This barn was surrounded by dwelling-houses and other buildings, in close proximity to which the fire soon spread, and there being at the time a high wind, it raged with great fury. Six dwelling-houses, two barns, a large paint-shop and wood-house, with other out-buildings, We have very few wealthy men, none retired from business. The permanent population is composed of active, energetie, business, and hard-working men, - striving to acquire a competency. This fact contri- butes to make the town active and business lively. And no town in the State of its size has more active, live men, and none has about it a more active, pro- gressive, lively, business appearance. It is now grow- ing rapidly. Some forty family tenements were built the last year, and for its size the town has few rivals in progress and prosperity. were burned here. The fire and cinders were blown to near the centre of the village, where four stores, containing several tailor-shops and tenements, were destroyed. After it was found that the fire threat- ened the village, a telegram was sent to Dover for assistance, and in twenty minutes a fire company with a steamer was here from that city, a distance of nine miles. This town had ouly two hand-engines, and without this assistance from Dover a large part of the village would have been destroyed by the de- vouring element. Aside from this conflagration and the burning of No. 2 Mill in 1857, the town has been comparatively exempt from fires.

HISTORY OF ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, NEW HAMPSHIRE.

Petition for Erection of Town .- The first petition on record concerning this town is that of sundry per- sons opposed to a petition which, it seems, had been presented praying for the erection of a new town. This was under date Feb. 18, 1741-42, and was as follows:

To Hie Excellency Benning Wentworth Esq Governour and Commander in Chief in and over his Majestys Province of New Hampshire in New England and to the Honourable his Majestys Council for said Province. The Petition of Sundry of the Inhabitants of that part of the Town of Amesbury that lyeth to the Northward of the Boundary liue between the Province of New Hampshire and Massachusetts Bay by the late Sat- tlement of the Sd Line and to the Southward of Shapleys Line so called most humbly shews That your Petitioners understand that about sixty persons in Number who live in that part of Salisbury that lyeth be- tween the two aforesd lines and that part of Amesbury aforesd have peti- tivued your Excellency and Honours for a Towoship of seven miles io Length as mentioned in their Petition.

Newton was settled about 1700; it was then called Amesbury Newtown. The State of Massachusetts was bounded three miles from Merrimac River; on the final settlement of the line this part of the terri- tory was left off from Massachusetts.

In 1749 it was incorporated as a town, taking a part of South Hampton.

The inhabitants in 1816 were about four hundred and fifty, with eighty-nine legal voters.

In 1882 the inhabitants exceed one thousand, with over three hundred legal voters.

The first record of a meeting is as follows :

" Province of 2 To Sargeut Heath, Constable for Newtown, these New Hampshire Jare to require you to warn the Inhabitants of New- town Qualified for voting to meet at the House of Sargent Heath ion. holder iu said town on Wednesday the twenty-sixth of March instant at one of the clock in the afternoon, then and there when mett ae, first, to choose towo officers as the charter directs, 2ª to see who the town will employ to build a pound & stocks, & 3dly to see how much money

the town will raise for a school, 4tbly to see how much money the town will allow for the selectuien & coostables for service doue the towo for the year past

" Dated at Newtown March ye II. A.D. 1755 " JOSEPH PEASLEE ) Selectmen " ROBEAT STUART of

" FRANCIS CHASE Newton"

By the records we find the above meeting was called at the time and place, and David Bayly was chosen moderator, William Rowell, town clerk, and Joseph Peaslee, William Rowell, and Aaron Currin, select- men. After choosing the minor officers the meeting was adjourned till Monday, 31st of March, "to be hield at the meeting-house." At the adjourned meet- ing it was voted to build a pound and to raise fifty pounds for schooling. A vote to see if the town would pay the constable sixpence a pound for collect- ing rates was defeated. Then the closing record of the meeting is, " at the same meeting voted not to act any further on the foregoing warrant, and the meet- ing was dismist."

The next meeting was warned for Monday, the 21st day of April ; the principal object was " to see whether the town will raise any sum of money and how much in order to clapboard said meeting-house, and lay the floor and build the doors and to provide window- frames and sashes and glass for said house," etc., and also to choose a committee to select a suitable piece of ground for a " burying-place."

This meeting was called ; "400 pounds O. T. was voted to. be raised to repair the meeting-house." Committees were appointed to "provide stuff" for the meeting-house and "look out a burying-place," said committees to report at an adjourned meeting to be held May 19th. Also, at the above meeting, "it was put to vote to see whether the town would agree with the 'poolers' from South Hampton, both to do dnties and receive privileges in full with the inhabit- ants of Newton, and voted in the affirmative."

The meeting was called May 19th. Nothing done ; adjourned to June 2d ; then adjourned to June 16th. At this meeting another committee was appointed to " examine and receive the accounts of the former com- mittee," they to report at an adjourned meeting to be held June 23d. One bill brought in by this commit- tee, to " pay for shingling and laying the sleepers 150 pounds, old tenor," was negatived; but a bill to pro- vide window-frames and sashes and a "joyner to as- sist in putting them up," was passed in the affirma- tive. It was also voted to allow 60 pounds old tenor for preaching, and to be taken out of the money ap- propriated for repairing the meeting-house. Voted to hire Mr. Solomon Paige to preach seven Sabbaths.

It appears by record and other evidence in New- ton that the Congregationalists were all the religious people in the town at its first settlement, and the in- habitants of this town seem to be the first to come ont from the old Established Church, and some of them refused to pay the parish tax for the support of the Congregational Church preaching ; the parties were

arrested and a lawsuit ensued. Mr. Stuart and a Mr. Carter were the two persons that appeared in court, and the church or collector on the other part. The lawsuit lasted three years or more, and Mr. Stuart and Carter came off victors, which dismayed the church, and enabled the dissenters to form a society and church about 1750 or 1755, called the Baptist Church, and on account of the lawsuit the Congrega- tional Church gave up their meeting-house that had been raised about three years to the town, who finished it for their use and meetings of all religious societies, who occupied it for a number of years.

In 1832 the Christian Church was formed, the first of the denomination in this State. Joseph Boadey, Douglas Farnum, John Rand, Mark Furnald, Henry Plumer, John Hartyman, and others. Nathaniel Day preached his sermon in June, 1856, and is still their pastor, making twenty-five years of pastorate. Mem- bers of the church, one hundred and forty-four.

Most of the town-meetings called for a number of years following were for the purpose of finishing the meeting-house, and for procuring preaching, and to prosecute parties who refused to pay parish rates. It seems that the Baptist Society which had formed in the town objected to paying a tax to support the Congregational Church, which was the principal church of the town. They resisted every effort, civil and ecclesiastical, and were finally successful, for in 1769 the town voted "to pay the cost which hath arose by reason of the Baptist people being rated to the Congregational minister in years past." Other resolutions of like character were passed, thus virtu- ally abandoning the contest.
