By this arrangement the bridge was built in 1823, and the agreement adhered to until 1839, when a controversy arose be- tween the towns in regard to the boundary, when the town of Boscawen neglected to carry out the provisions of the contract en- tered into in 1822. The town of Concord, being aggrieved at the action of the town of Boscawen in this matter, commenced a suit against Boscawen, upon the bond, in the court of common pleas, which was afterwards transferred to the superior court, of which Hon. Joel Parker was chief-justice. The case was conducted by Franklin Pierce and Asa Fowler for Concord, and Ichabod Bart- lett for Boscawen. At the Dec. term, 1845, a decision was ren- dered by Judge Woods in favor of Boscawen, who said that "the contract by which they undertook to bind themselves to raise money for building the bridge was not founded upon such a con- sideration as to create a debt, and thus give the town a power to raise money." Since 1845 this bridge has been maintained by Coneord.
THE DUSTON MEMORIAL.
On the island at the mouth of the Contoocook river stands the granite memorial erected to commemorate the achievement of Mrs. Duston, Mary Neff, and Samuel Leonardson, in liberating themselves from captivity. The statue was erected mainly through the efforts of Robert B. Caverly of Lowell, and E. S. Nutter of Concord. The first step to that end was the conveyance, by Messrs. John C. and Calvin Gage, to Rev. Nathaniel Bouton, E.

S. Nutter, and R. B. Caverly, in trust, all of the land lying east of the Northern Railroad, upon the island, for the purpose of es- tablishing a memorial. Funds to the amount of $6,000 were raised by subscription. The statue and pedestal are of Concord granite, after a design by William Andrews, of Lowell. The sculptors were Andrew Orsolini, James Murray, and Charles H. Andrews, the builder Porter E. Blanchard.
The monument was unveiled 17 June, 1874, with appropriate ceremonies. There was a large gathering of people. Addresses were made by Rev. N. Bouton, of Concord; R. B. Caverly, Esq., of Lowell; Hon. G. W. Nesmith, of Franklin ; Maj. Gen. S. G. Griffin, of Keene; D. O. Allen, of Lowell; Hon. B. F. Prescott, of Epping; Col. J. H. George, of Concord; Rev. Elias Nason, of Billerica ; Charles C. Coffin, of Boston; Rev. W. T. Savage, of Franklin ; Ex .- Gov. Onslow Stearns, of Concord,-and others. Gov. James A. Weston accepted the deed in trust for the state.
ANCIENT HOUSES.
The oldest house now remaining in Boscawen is that standing near the site of the old fort, occupied by the second minister of the town, Rev. Robie Morrill [see Civil Hist. ], who became a cit- izen in 1761. The building probably was erected by him.
The house next in age, probably, is the residence of Mr. Frank- lin P. Atkinson, which was occupied by Dea. Jesse Flanders, and was built by him before 1765.
The residence of Mr. Colby, on Water street, was built in 1768, by Capt. Peter Coffin.
The house of G. W. Fisher, formerly the residence of Peter Coffin, son of Capt. Moses, was built about 1770, by George Jack- man.
The house of Mr. Silver next west of Mr. Franklin P. Atkinson's, formerly stood near the residence of Mr. Jacob C. Flanders. It was built by Andrew Bohonnon, and possibly is one of the oldest in town.
In 1775 there were but two framed houses west of Beaver Dam brook, neither of which is standing. They were the houses of Jonathan Cass and Benjamin Day.
The oldest house in Webster is the residence of Mr. Tilton, on Corser hill, built by David Corser.

WILD ANIMALS-CHARACTERS.
The house of Dr. Graves, on Boscawen Plain, was built by Dr. Daniel Peterson, and it has been occupied for many years by phy- sicians. Dr. Peterson, Dr. Warren E. Chase, Dr. E. K. Webster, and Dr. Graves, all have resided there.
The residence of Mr. C. W. Webster was built in 1798 by John Jackman, who also did most of the work on the meeting-house.
The house owned by Mr. James Gill was built by Mr. Gregg Emerson, early in the century.
The parsonage of the Congregational society, Boscawen, was built by David Burbank, whose blacksmith-shop stood near by. It was the residence of Mr. Jeremiah Gerrish, who presented it to the society in his last will and testament.
WILD ANIMALS.
Wolves were abundant when the town was first settled. The last wolf killed in Boscawen was shot about 1831-'32 by Samuel Call, near Cook's hill.
Bears were also abundant, and as late as 1810-'15 were fre- quently seen in town.
Beavers were numerous on all the streams. The compiler can recall several dams which were distinctly recognizable in his boy- hood, around Great pond and the Water street meadows.
When the town was first settled rattlesnakes abounded, es- pecially on the rocky hills of Bashan. Moses Gerrish,-one of the early settlers of that section,-killed more than 50 in one day. Empirics in medicine prescribed the oil of rattlesnakes' hearts as a specific for consumption, and the oil thus obtained by Mr. Ger- rish was sold to the Canterbury Shakers for such use. Two rat- tlesnakes were killed by Gen. M. A. Pillsbury on his farm about 1840, and Mr. Bitfield Burbank despatched one at a still later date,-about 1847.
CHARACTERS.
This history would be incomplete if no mention were made of the "characters," or the peculiar men, numbered among the citi- zens. In every community such men may be found. Their neighbors call them "odd sticks." They are wits, jesters, sat- irists, or possessed of some idiosyncrasy that distinguishes them
651
CHARACTERS.
from their neighbors. They may be wholly uneducated, but yet make up in mother-wit any lack of acquired knowledge. They may be stupid in some things, and exceedingly brilliant in others. They are usually men abounding in good nature, who rarely take umbrage at any mistake or blunder that may be made, who are keenly alive to fun, who appreciate a joke, who utter ludicrous sayings without knowing it, or who coin words not to be found in any lexicon.
One of the latter class was Mr. Amos Blanchard, whose ac- quaintance with books was limited, who possibly never conned a page of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, but who nevertheless sometimes coined words that expressed his ideas quite as well as any from Greek or Latin roots. He invariably used " ascertain " as a synonym for think or comprehend. " I should ascertain that it was going to rain," was a common form of expression. If the weather was lowering, he used "duberous " for dubious. A winter's day, when the wind was blowing a gale, and the air filled with drifting snow, was " boistorious " and " fluergent." Is there a word in common use that better describes such a day ?
Another character was Thomas Corser, who was accustomed to travel through the town with medicinal herbs, distributing them to the housewives. He usually had a large bundle of catnip, fever- bush, golden-rod, etc., which were much used the first third of the century. He charged nothing for these herbs. He had great faith in their efficacy. He once called at the house of Mr. Joel French, whose child was sick, and urged the mother to steep some of his herbs.
" Do it, do it, if you want to save his life ! Do it! If it kills him I'll pay for it !"
Mr. Corser lost his life by attempting to cross Long pond on the ice before it was sufficiently strong to bear him.
Mr. James West, who for many years kept tavern on the Plain, in the house occupied by Mr. Dow, was a genial man, a popular host with the travelling community, good at telling a story, and who delighted in a joke. About the close of the first third of the century, Potter, a sleight-of-hand performer, of Andover, for whom the station " Potter Place " was named, gave an entertain- ment on the Plain. One of the performances of the evening was cooking eggs in a hat. The prestidigitateur borrowed a hat from 42

CHARACTERS.
some one in the audience, broke several eggs into it, seemingly, then pronouncing some cabalistic words, and shaking the hat, pro- duced from this novel frying-kettle eggs nicely cooked, which were passed around to the audience, and the hat also, without a stain upon its lining. Of course no eggs were broken into the hat : it was all deception.
On the evening after the performance, the usual circle of loungers of the bar-room were discussing the marvellous trick over their grog, and among them was one who expressed some doubt about the performance. The landlord saw a chance to play off one of his practical jokes, and said,-
"I'll bet a quart of rum that I can do that trick."
" I'll take that bet!" was the quick response of the wearer of the new hat.
"Done ! then give us your hat," said Mr. W., taking it from the wearer's head, and deliberately breaking several eggs into it.
The loafers crowded around the bar to see the performance.
An essential part of the performance was the use of high- sounding gibberish, which Mr. West gave, ending with the words, "Presto, change !" meanwhile shaking the hat.
"I declare, they don't sizzle yet," he said, looking into the hat, and then repeating the gibberish, and shaking it once more, till the inside was well splashed with the yolk.
"They don't cook, that's a fact. I've lost my bet. Here, take your rum."
A roar of laughter from the crowd set the winner to thinking that it was his hat which the landlord had been using for a fry- kettle. The landlord had his joke, but he was not a man to in- dulge his humor at the pecuniary expense of another, and made ample satisfaction.
Another character was Mr. David Heath, more familiarly known as "Jester " Heath, from his jests and jokes. If they were somewhat coarse, there was also at times rare humor in them. There was a period when hoop-poles were an article of commerce, and Mr. Heath was not always particular in regard to boundaries when engaged in cutting poles.
"If you never will cut any more on my land, I will give you a pig," was the offer of Capt. Little Burbank.
653
CHARACTERS.
" If you will not cut any more on mine, I will give you a sheep," said Capt .. Abraham Burbank.
"I am much obliged to you, gentleman, but a man can't afford to sell everything," was the reply.
Another character was Mr. Nathan Hunt. whose natural endowments were by no means of an inferior order, but who by indulging in drink became a wreck of his former self, and earned a precarious living by making baskets and bottoming chairs. He was an excellent workman. No better baskets were ever made- They were strong, evenly woven, and of symmetrical form. What- ever he did was well done, though his customers, especially those who had paid for their wares, were greatly troubled by his pro- crastination. He had a keen sense of humor. During sickness he was attended by Dr. Long, of Hopkinton. Those were the days when calomel was given in large doses, and so much was ad- ministered to the patient that his teeth were loosened in the gums. After his recovery Mr. Hunt made payment in hand- rakes. One may imagine the inward chuckling of the rake- maker, as he shaved the teeth and head of the implements from unseasoned wood-how in a few days the teeth would loosen and drop from their sockets.
The rakes were speedily finished after being ordered. The doctor was surprised at the unwonted promptness of the maker. The rakes were beautiful to the eye, smoothly shaven the handles, tight and firm the teeth. The doctor admired them.
A few days passed. The workmen used the implements in the summer sun, when, lo ! the rakes were toothless.
"Every tooth has come out of those rakes which you made," said the irate physician to Mr. Hunt.
" Ah, doctor, you have been giving them calomel, I reckon," said Mr. Hunt.
The physician appreciated the joke, and told it with a relish.
No man ever walked the highways of Boscawen who had so hearty a laugh as Mr. Hunt. When anything pleased him he laughed all over, with a heartiness that was contagious. He be- gan with a haw-haw-haw, deep, resonant, to be written large, if expressed in writing, accelerating the haw-haw, catching his breath, beginning over again, repeating, changing to ho-ho-ho, for several minutes.
654
CHARACTERS.
Once his supper was hasty-pudding and milk, and he ate heartily,-ate till the platter was clean. It was in the days when fire-places were used, and he laid down upon the floor to enjoy its genial warmth, and soon fell asleep. Some young men, who had dropped in, thought it an excellent opportunity to play a joke upon the sleeper, and, creeping up stairs and raising a board. they dropped a pumpkin in the last stage of mellowness plump upon the prostrate form. They were roystering fellows, who did not stop to reflect upon the indecency. Mr. Hunt awoke, and in lugubrious tones thus upbraided his wife :
"There, wife, now see what you have done. What did you give me all that pudden for ? You might have known I would eat it all, even if there was a bushel of it. Here I am, busted !"
Another character was Mr. Obadiah Elkins, whose oddity may have been intensified by a disappointment of the affections. He was a builder of many houses. They were not spacious, or lofty, but of small size. He would obtain permission from some kind neighbor to put up a cabin, and with much diligence add room after room at all sides. When weary of residing in that locality he would dispose of them for a small sum, and begin again in another place. He resided chiefly in Bashan.
Once he grew weary of life, and resolved to commit suicide. He made his way to Pillsbury's mill-pond, and plunged in, held his head beneath the water awhile, and then waded to the shore. In rehearsing what he had done, he said he "couldn't hold his breath long enough to drown." He did not see the absurdity of the re- mark, and even wondered at the laughter it created.
Again, when sick, he wished to shuffle off this mortal coil. " I have tried to die," he said. "If I were to die, I couldn't try any harder !"
While prostrated by sickness, Rev. Mr. Price called upon him to offer the consolations of religion, praying not alone for the sick man, but giving wide scope to his supplication. Mr. Elkins was restored to health, and, wishing to show his appreciation of Mr. Price's kindness, determined to make him a present of a half bushel of beans. He showed a grim humor by obtaining from the neighbors several varieties, white and speckled, cranberry and pink-eyed, bush and pole, large and small.
"I notice, Mr. Elkins, that you have all sorts of beans in your
1
655
CHARACTERS.
basket," was the remark of the reverend gentleman, when he thanked the donor for the gift.
" Well, sir, you prayed all sorts, and I thought I would give you all sorts," was the witty reply. The humor was keenly rel- ished by the recipient.
Convinced in his own mind that he was not going to live long, he resolved to have his coffin made, that his friends might not be burdened by such a duty, and carried the boards to a joiner, who, upon measuring them, said to Mr. Elkins :
" The boards are not long enough."
"Oh ! I can scrooch up a little," was the reply.
He lived in the days when men drank liquor. He usually drank in moderation, but when his brain was excited by alcohol, there was a delicious incongruity in his humor. He called one day at the house of Col. John Farmer, where the good wives of the neighborhood had assembled for a quilting. He seated him- self before the fire, and taking a clean shirt from a package, pro- ceeded to change his clothing, whereupon Mrs. F. told him that he could have the use of the adjoining room.
"Oh, I can shut my eyes !" was the reply.
Once, when having been refused a mug of cider by the same lady, he politely expressed his anger, not by wishing she were dead, but wishing that she were " nicely in heaven."
His house and the grounds around were ever a pattern of neat- ness. He was kind-hearted, and ever ready to oblige his neigh- bors. Nature was not niggardly in her endowments, but a bitter disappointment blighted his life and made him what he was.
Kind-hearted men were they all, and they made the town merry with their wit.
One of Doctor Elijah Blaisdel's female patients was noted for her economy, never permitting anything to be wasted. There had been siekness in the family, and there was a good supply of pills and powders on hand, after the recovery of the children.
"It's too bad to have them wasted," said the mother, who, mixing jalop, calomel, ipecac, all in one mess, swallowed the mixture ! The results may be imagined.
Another woman, who never had travelled, but who contem- plated a visit to distant friends, fearful that she might be ill, sat up through the night, and drank so much herb tea that in the

morning she was prostrated with sickness, and the journey never was made.
V. D. M.
On page 159, mention is made of the eulogy upon Washington, delivered by Rev. Ariel Kendrick, V. D. M., with the statement that none of the oldest inhabitants knew the meaning of the cab- alistic letters. Since the page has been printed, it has been as- certained that they stood for Veterinary Doctor of Medicine; or, in other words, that Rev. Mr. Kendrick, in addition to his calling as a preacher, united that of " cow doctor."
TREES.
The first trees transplanted in Boscawen, probably, were those set out by Rev. Phineas Stevens, none of which remain except possibly the tree standing near the residence of Jacob Hosmer. One of those set out by Rev. Mr. S. stood in front of the hat-shop of Mr. Jacob Hosmer, senior ;- it was blown down in 1834.
The large elm opposite the academy was set out by William Gill about 1790 [see Gill Gen., p. 551].
The elms standing on the west side of King street, between the residence of James H. Gill and Mr. Bickford, were set out by Joel French, Wm. G. Emerson, Col. Joseph and N. P. Atkin- son, some time during the first decade of the century [see p. 532].
Those on the opposite side of the street, south of the meeting- house, were set out by Russell Ambrose, 1834 [see p. 232], for which he received the thanks of the Congregational society.
The largest elms in the academy yard were transplanted in 1829 by David K. Jones, a student at the academy. He went West, and died in Michigan. The maple near the entrance was set out by Charles C. Coffin, in 1839. He set out others, but that alone survived, owing to the rude treatment to which all were sub- jected from being used as hitching-posts.
The first damask rose in town, probably, grew on a bush brought from Newbury (Byfield parish), Mass., by Henry Little, about 1815. He obtained it from the garden of Hon. Gorham Parsons. It was transplanted in Dea. Enoch Little's front yard, and flourished for many years.

and J. L. Gerrish, the largest of which is eighteen inches in cir- cumference four feet from the ground, and sixteen feet high, were brought from Hopkinton by Miss Sally Gerrish, mother of Prof. M. G. Farmer, prior to 1810. She obtained them from the gar- den of Dr. Currier.
