To these four men, with Nathan Parker, David Gillis, Alpheus Gay, and many others who were here in 1846, and others who came within a few years later, we are indebted largely for what Manehester is today. Many other men of the past who did noble work and achieved fortune and honor to themselves and the city I would be glad to speak of particularly, but time will not permit.
Of the lawyers, Samuel D. Bell, attorney and chief justice of the supreme court, United States senator for ten years and judge of the United States district court; George W. Morrison, attorney and member of congress: William C. Clarke, attorney, judge of probate, and attorney-general, and Herman Foster-all were superior men in their profession, and achieved wide reputation and renown throughout the state. Of the business men, J. T. P. Hunt, A. Bunton, Moses Fellows, Hiram Brown, Levi Sargent, William Shepard, William W. Wallace, George W. Thayer. John C. Young. John Plummer. John P. Adrianee, Kidder & Dunckley, Hartshorne & Tufts, John H. Moore, William H. Elliott, John Mooar, Eben Ferren, John B. Goodwin, John A. Perry, George P. Folsom, H. G. Connor, Porter & Searle, John Mahaffy. Alonzo Smith. J. H. Barnes, George A. Barnes, William A. Putney, Nathan Parker. Of the physicians, Josiah Crosby, John S. Elliott, M. G. J. Tewksbury, Z. Colburn, Charles Wells, W. W. Brown, Amos G. Gale. Of the clergymen, Rev. Dr. Wallace, Rev. Mr. Tillotson, and Father MacDonald.
If I were writing the history of the past fifty years, I might give sketehes of many men. I might tell of the eloquence and remarkable life of Rev. Dr. Wallace; of the long. faithful, and self-sacrifieing life of Father MacDonald: I might amuse by the wise sayings of Bundy the barber, and John Sullivan Wiggin the hatter: I might tell of "The Gleaner" newspaper and the exeiting slander suits growing out of its publication: of the Parker murder and the long trial before the police court, in which were engaged as counsel President Pierce, Senator Charles G. Atherton, Benjamin F. Butler. B. F. Ayer, and Daniel Clark. All these things I must leave to the future historian.
The sketeh of Horaee Greeley, as related by one of our best writers, gives a correct idea of nearly all the young men of New England birth who came here to seek a home during the twenty years between 1836 and 1856, in which he says: "The son of a New Hampshire farmer, whose best exertions could barely provide the simplest necessaries for his family, edneated mainly by his mother, and compelled while yet a boy to assist his parents by his labor and wages, enduring privation and hardship that he might send them a larger sum or his earnings, his kindly and sympathetic nature absorbed that knowledge of struggling humanity and eultivated that sympathy with suffering which furnished the mainspring of his future activity. Hope and opportunity are the only capital of millions of young men, to whom the story of Horace Greeley is both lesson and guide."
I hold in my hand the directory published in the fall of 1846. The whole number of its pages is 148. This other directory of 1896 contains 678 pages. The number of
166
SEMI-CENTENNIAL OF MANCHESTER, N. H.
persons by the name of Smith in 1846 was 45; in 1896, 148. The number of lawyers in 1846 was 13; in 1896, 59. The number of physicians in 1846 was 23; in 1896, 86. The number of dentists in 1846 was 3; in 1896, 24. The number of churches in 1846 was 11; in 1896, 32. The number of night police in 1846 was 4; in 1896, 21. The number of vol- umes in the library in 1846, 2,000; in 1896, 40,000. The number of people employed for the Amoskeag Company and machine shop in 1846 was 940; in 1896, 8,000.
The valuation of all property in 1846 was $3,187,726, and the whole amount of taxes collected $22,005.95. The rate of taxation, however, that year, was $2.10, being a higher rate than the present. The valuation in 1896 is $29,361,418, and taxes for this year $547,652.22. The population in 1846 was 10,000; in 1896, 55,000.
So far as I can learn there are only three people now in active business here who were in business in 1846. These three are John Mooar, William H. Elliott, and a lawyer in Patten's block. Of the members of the first city government, only three survive.
It is said of one of the Roman emperors that he found Rome a city of brick and left it a city of marble. The men and women who have gathered here upon the Merrimack river from time to time during the last sixty years found it inhabited by a few people who caught fish at the Amoskeag falls, conveyed through the Merrimack river lumber and merchandise to Boston, a sparse population of small farmers living in cheap, unfurnished houses, obtaining a precarious livelihood by whatever means they could in such a poverty-bearing locality. The early settlers of 1835 and later found it such, and by their enterprise and energy, and by the help of foreign capital and by the inflow of people from all nationalities, they have made this one of the most attractive cities in the country. In its well laid out streets, commons, and parks, adorned with trees, in its elegant dwelling houses and comfortable homes for all classes, in its library and schools, in its churches and clergymen, and in its railroad facilities, its means of transportation by electric railway, in its electric lighting, in its numerous societies for culture in literature, art, and science, it equals any city of its age and population in the United States.
Mr. Gladstone, a few years ago, said: "If I had to select from the half century of the recorded past time the fifty years in which to pass my public life I would choose fifty in which I have worked. It would be fifty years of emancipation." I think each of us can say: If I were to select fifty years of the recorded past time I would agree with Mr. Gladstone and say that the past fifty years have been the best of all. It is true undoubt- edly that if each of those who commenced in the early days of this city had had the oppor- tunity to select and the means to live he might not have selected Manchester as a permanent residence; but it is true that although Manchester at first was uninviting we may congratulate ourselves that by the efforts of men who have lived here for the past fifty years a beautiful city has been built which today offers a place of residence as inviting as any in the country.
Have any of you considered the progress made during the past fifty years compared with any prior fifty years in the history of the world? Have you thought of the advan- tages we have over those who lived before 1846? But few inventions were made prior to the nineteenth century. It is said the eighteenth century produced only two inventions in this country, Franklin's lightning rod and a machine for manufacturing nails. During the past fifty years, or little more, the telegraph, the telephone, the steam ship, farming implements, electric lighting, electric roads, and the bicycle,-over a hundred, and I might say a thousand, of inventions for the advancement of mankind in knowledge and the means of living have been made.
It is not, however, in material prosperity alone that we, with others, have improved. We have more comfortable and more commodious homes, we have better food, we have shorter hours of labor, laborers are better paid and better cared for, their rights and interests are better protected by legislation and by public sentiment. Every man in
167

the community has a better opportunity to improve himself and to support his family. If we visit the schools and hospitals, the innumerable charities which appeal to us from all sides, if we visit the poorfarms and the homes of the poor, we find a greater advance than in five hundred years before. I have never seen this idea better expressed than in the recent address of Lord Russell, chief justice of England, before the American Bar Association at Saratoga last month. He said: "It is not dominion, wealth, material luxury; nay, not even a great literature and education widespread-good though those things be. Its true signs are thought for the poor and suffering, chivalrous regard and respect for woman, the frank recognition of human brotherhood, irrespective of raee or color or nation or religion, the narrowing of the domain of main foree as a governing factor in the world, the love of ordered freedom, abhorrence of what is mean and cruel and vile, ceaseless devotion to the claims of justice."
Fellow citizens, to some of us these days of celebration bring tender memories. We remember those who were in aetive life in 1846, and who served their day and gener- ation well, and have departed. We recall broken homes and some sad lives all along the flying years. All these past fifty years, with the rush and hurry of busy life, with the struggles and failures and successes of those who have been with us, are with us again, while there are some thoughts of sadness; yet, on the whole, we have great oceasion for joy and rejoicing. We found this place poor, desolate, and uninviting. We give it to our children and to those of the coming time a beautiful eity. The next fifty years has more of hope and promise than the past. Fortunate are you who have come to the inheritance of this our beloved city of Manchester. Hail and eongratu- lations to those here now, and to the thousands who shall live here during the next fifty years!
Remarks were made by Hon. Isaac W. Smith, Prof. Charles H. Pettee, Rev. A. C. Coult, Hon. Joseph Kidder, and Joseph E. Bennett.
The following lines, written for the occasion by Mrs. E. P. Offutt, 83 years old, were read by Mrs. B. M. Leavenworth, Lancaster, N. H .:
POEM BY MRS. E. P. OFFUTT.
At the opening of this fiftieth year, As we stand upon its brink, With the old years close behind us, We pause awhile to think.
We see that our past endeavors Are not what we meant to do. Mistakes we have made so often In the years we have passed through.
So we think of future conduct How brave and true we'll be; How kind our every action In the years we live to see.
The past is ours no longer, Its record now is sealed. The hand of God has done it, It cannot be repealed.
168
SEMI-CENTENNIAL OF MANCHESTER, N. II.
The future lies before us, It is beyond our reach; In vain we seek to pierce it. Its lessons, who can teach ?
But the present is our treasure, None can take it from our grasp; Let us prize it while we have it, And ne'er unloose our clasp.
May He to whom the future And the past alike are one, Teach us our days to number In the service of His Son.
May each day, each hour, each moment, Find us faithful at our post, Striving to improve our talent, Making of its gift the most.
In fifty years our city's grown 'Neath God's safe guiding hand, From a simple country village, To the foremost in the land.
With wondrous growth comes service And duties laid on all Who love their city's welfare, And listen to her call.
God grant us all the courage To live and vote and pray As those who wish that Manchester Be blessed of God alway.
The meeting closed with the singing of "Home, Sweet Home" and the benedic- tion pronounced by Rev. A. C. Coult.

SEMI-CENTENNIAL OF MANCHESTER, N. H.
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9.
Wednesday, September 9, the old residents met in city hall to perfect the organ- ization of an old residents' association. David L. Perkins called the meeting to order, and Hon. Joseph Kidder was chosen chairman. The following were appointed to present a list of officers and a constitution and by-laws: Henry A. Far- rington, Joseph E. Bennett, Horace Pettee, Mrs. M. A. Adams, Mrs. Sarah E. Thompson, Mrs. S. B. Harris, Alpheus Gay, George C. Gilmore, A. J. Lane, William P. Merrill.
The committee reported the following list of officers:
President, Joseph Kidder; vice-presidents, W. P. Merrill, Alpheus Gay; sec- retary, David L. Perkins; treasurer, A. J. Lane; historian, George C. Gilmore; executive committee, Warren Harvey, Joseph F. Bennett, Horace Pettee, Ignatius T. Webster, Charles K. Walker, Charles S. Fisher, Augustus G. Stevens, Mrs. L. S. Proctor, Mrs. Mary A. (Bailey) Adams.
This report was accepted and the persons named were unanimously elected.
It was then voted unanimously to adopt the badge worn at this celebration by the old residents as the official badge of the association, and motions were carried extending the thanks of the non-residents to the committee in charge of this depart- ment, and to the resident members of the association, for many courtesies received; to Warren Harvey and to his sub-committees, and to the city of Manchester for the many courtesies extended.
The constitution adopted provides that the organization shall be known as the "Old Residents' Association of Manchester, N. H." Any person of good char- acter, who was domiciled in Manchester as early as 1846, whether that residence has been continuous or not, may become a member. New members may be admitted when they shall have attained the fifty years' limit prescribed for the original Semi- Centennial members, it being designed to make the membership progressive and the life of the association perpetual. The objects of the association shall be the culti- vation of social relations, the collection and preservation of historical data that may be of future use, and the holding of meetings at least once a year for literary, musical, and social purposes. The association had two hundred charter menibers.
The first anniversary of the Old Residents' Association was held in city hall on Wednesday, September 8, 1897, the committee on program consisting of President Joseph Kidder, Warren Harvey, William P. Merrill, Mrs. Mary A. Adams, and Mrs. Luther S. Proctor. The officers were re-elected.
The following is a complete list of persons who resided in Manchester in 1846, or before that time, as compiled from the registration book, placed by Mayor Clarke in the city clerk's office previous to the celebration, and from the names in the register of the Old Residents' Association. Many of these people live in distant parts of the Union today, but nearly all of them returned to Manchester and were present at the exercises which marked her golden jubilee.
