Wheat was blessed with a nose of generous size, which was the source of much amusement to himself and acquaintances, of which the following may serve as a specimen :


In the Cabinet of 17 February, 1803, the editor says : " The south- ern mail was not received last evening. As the NOSE had not appeared at half-past 11 o'clock, we presumed the MAIL must then be at some dis- tance, and consequently were obliged to put our paper to press without its reception."


In the next issue of the paper the mail carrier, proprietor of the NOSE, reported as follows :


Mr. Cushing-I observed a complaint in your last paper that the NOSE did not arrive on Wednesday evening last, and therefore you was disappointed about the southern news. But the NOSE requests the public not to laugh at nature's works, but they may depend on the NOSE to appear at the post-office at 6 o'clock P. M. Consequently, the mail will arrive in half an hour after. J. W.


He was something of a rhymester in his way, and frequently had something to offer on the occasion of the marriage of his friends. The late Governor Hill was married in a terribly "cold term " in the month of February, which event was noticed by Wheat as follows :


On Concord street I saw a sight quite rare, A Hill walked out to take the Ayer. And now, since earth and sky have come together, I think there 'll be a change of weather.

DEA. SAMUEL WILKINS


Was for many years one of the leading citizens of the town. and filled many of its most important offices. He served as moderator of the annual meeting eight years, was one of the board of selectmen fifteen years, town-clerk ten years, and representative in the general court one year. He was also one of the deacons of the church forty-two years.


In his early manhood he was one of the champions of the town in the wrestling and the running matches then common on public occa- sions. . It is said that but few could be found that could lay him on his back. In his old age he became quite infirm, and for a long time

was unable to walk or even rise without assistance. In his infirmity he was tenderly cared for by his sons Daniel and Thomas. (See p. 831 : 4.)


JOHN HUBBARD WILKINS,


Youngest son of Dea. Samnel Wilkins, graduated at Harvard College in 1818; commenced business as a publisher in Boston, in 1821, in which calling he was eminently successful. He was afterward en- gaged as a wholesale paper dealer, and acquired a large property and an extensive influence.


He retired from business in 1853 to accept the office of president of the National Bank of Boston, which he retained until within a month of his death. He was a member of the common council of the city, in 1840, '41, '42 and '43 ; an alderman in 1844, '48 and '49 ; a member of the State senate in 1850 and '51 ; was a member of the Cochituate water-board five years, and once a candidate for mayor, but failed of an election. He married Mrs. Thomasine E. Minot, a sister of Prof. Bond, of Harvard College, 17 November. 1826, but left no children. The bulk of his property was left to societies connected with the New Jerusalem Church, of which he had long been an active member, and to different charitable institutions.


ROBERT BRADFORD WILKINS,


A native of Souhegan West, enlisted in the army 23 April, 1775, and was a private in the company commanded by Capt. Levi Spaulding of Lyndeborough. He took part in the battle of Bunker Hill, in which he was severely wounded.


On the reorganization of the New Han pshire regiments, in 1777, he enlisted in the company commanded by Capt. Isaac Frye, of Wilton, which formed a part of Col. Scammel's regiment. He was commis- sioned ensign 28 March, 1777, and 1 May, 1779, received a lieutenant's commission, at the request of Gen. Lafayette, for meritorious service near King's bridge, in New York.


On this occasion he received a present of a uniform befitting his rank from the General.


After the close of the war he married Elizabeth Stewart, a sister of the late David Stewart, sen., and settled in Hillsborough, which town, with that of Henniker, he represented in the convention which adopted the Federal constitution, in behalf of the people of New Hampshire, 12 June, 1788.


From Hillsborough he removed to Concord, and subsequently to Pembroke, where he resided for some years. Finally, in his old age,

he removed to Boston, where he died in August, 1832, at the age of nearly 77 years.


When Lafayette visited Concord, in 1825, Wilkins and many others of his old companions in arms met him in the area below the repre- sentatives' hall in the State-house. The general recognized and em_ braced him, calling him, in his broken English, "Bob Wilks." While they were embracing one another, the tears rolling down their cheeks, Gen. Pierce, who acted as master of ceremonies on the occasion, touched Wilkins on the shoulder, saying, "Come, Bob, move on." This was too much for the veteran. Turning, and looking Pierce full in the face, he exclaimed : "Ben Pierce, I commanded you in the Revolution, and I'll be d-d if you shall command me now." (See p. 839 : 49.)


REV. SENECA WHITE,


Born in Sutton, Mass., 27 February, 1794, graduated at Dartmouth Col- lege in 1818, and at Andover Theological Seminary in 1821. He labored as a missionary in different parts of Maine ; was settled as pastor of the South Congregational Church in Bath, Maine, in 1823, where he re- mained seven years. He was pastor of the church in Wiscasset from 1832 to 1837, and subsequently supplied the church in Freeport some time. In 1838 he was settled over the church in Marshfield, Mass., and remained there until 1850, when, on account of ill health, he resigned and removed to Boston, where he resided until 1852, when he removed to Amherst, and died 11 January, 1865, leaving a widow but no children. During his residence in Amherst he served on the school committee several years, and preached occasionally, as opportunity offered and the state of his health would permit.


He had a high standing as a scholar while in his college and seminary course, which he retained while in the ministry. While re- siding in Maine he was for some years one of the trustees of Bowdoin College.
