MISCELLANEOUS ADDENDA.
Chap. II. Near the top of the hill directly west of Bearden are numerous " potholes " indi- cating a powerful current of water flowing for a long period towards the southwest and thence following the present course of Beaver Brook. The two largest of these holes are from six to seven feet in diameter. As they are mostly filled with earth, their depth has not been deter- mined. One contains a stump about a foot and a half through.
Chap. VII. The following Petition was found in the State archives.
To the respectable Body of Delegates assembled in Provincial Congress at Exeter in New Hampshire -
The Petition of a considerable number of the Inhabitants of said Province Humbly Sheweth - That your Petitioners are strongly attached to the true interest, welfare and safety of this their native Country, and are will- ing to exert themselves to the utmost in the defence of their first and Constitutional rights and priviledges and imagine that any man or Bodies of men who endeavor to wrest them from us ought to be anathematized - It is real anxiety and concern for our distressed Country which causes us thus to trouble you at this time; your Peti- tioners apprehend (not that we would Presume to Dictate) that all persons who have in any measure or Degree Discovered themselves inimical to those Persons, (who have from the first rise of the controversy Betwixt Great Brittain and the Colonies, approved themselves to their fellow countrymen true and Disinterested Patriots, or those who have derided and set at nought the Proceedings and Resolutions of the united wisdoni of the Colonies in the Late Continental Congress) ought not to sustain any office either Civil or Military in this critical conjuncture of affairs - Upon a review of these sentiments, we were not a little surprised to hear that James Reed Esq of Fitzwil- liam was not only in nomination but actually appointed a Commander of a Regiment in the Army to be raised for Defending those rights and immunities which, by some past conduct we have reason to think were not very highly esteemed by him; it is truly painfull for us, thus to Impeach the Character of a reputed Gentleman, much more that of one who otherwise is really so ; yet we indagine the exigency of our affairs will in a great measure, if not altogether, attone for such a measure of proceedure - We Earnestly Desire that neither he or any other person (who have not approved themselves steady and real Friends to the Great and Glorious Cause in which we are engaged) should be Promoted either in the Civil or Military Lists. Gentlemen your Influence in this matter will oblige Thousands besides your Humble Servants.
