David Elliot has been described to us as a man of marked character, and worthy of some words of notice in the annals of the town of his adoption. In the spring of 1775, soon after the commencement of hostilities at Lexington and Concord, Capt. Towne was engaged in raising a company of volunteers in New Ipswich, to join the confused army of avengers, then rolling in from every quarter towards Boston. Among the few who came from neighboring towns to join this patriotic band, were the brothers David and John Elliot, from Mason. The company was soon formed (65 in number), marched to Cambridge, and was attached to Col. Reid's regiment, and there assigned the post of honor, the right wing. At the battle of Bunker Hill, they were early on the ground and in the hottest of the fight, though each man had but a gill of powder and fifteen balls dealt out to him in the morning. David Elliot, like most of his company, had only his fowling-piece for arms, which, after a few rapid discharges, became hot and dangerous. Just then he discovered a good musket on the ground, the owner having been killed or carried away. He seized the prize, expended the remainder of his ammunition with it, brought it off the field, and kept it to the day of his death. Capt. Towne's company remained in service till the evacuation of Boston by the British, in the spring following, and was then discharged. Among the strong-headed men of Dublin in the olden time, Mr. Elliot held a very respectable rank, and exercised an increasing influence. He was much consulted in private matters, employed in the public affairs of the town, and held a commission in the militia. He was a member of the Baptist church.

EBENEZER EMES, and Elizabeth his w., came to Dublin, July 18, 1779, and lived on lot 9, range 2. Samuel Emes, who lived on this lot before Ebenezer came, may have been the father both of Ebenezer and Alexander Emes. We have heard that Samuel Emes used to come to Dublin on foot, and spend a part of the season on his farm; returning in the autumn with a heavy load on his back. It is said that, in order to relieve himself, when he became tired from the weight of his burden behind, he was wont to take up quite a large stone in both hands ; and that, carrying this stone awhile, he felt himself rested when he dropped it. Ebenezer Emes's name appears in the tax-list, for the last time, in 1798. Ch .:

Asa Fairbanks, sen., enlisted in the service of his country at the age of fourteen; and performed guard-duty around military stores in Sherborn, one summer season. At the age of sixteen, he enlisted again, and joined the army at Rhode Island. He was there employed, a portion of the time, as a ferryman from Tiverton to Greenwich ; transporting soldiers, horses, provisions, ammunition, &c. On one occasion, when returning with an empty boat, a stur- geon of large size, being at play, jumped out of the water into the boat, broke down the middle seat, and proved a troublesome pas- senger. He sold it, on reaching the shore, for a gallon of rum. At another time, he was ordered to take a load of soldiers across the river by night, in company with six other boats. During the passage, a severe tempest arose. It was stormy and dark. They lost their pilot and lights; and in this condition they were tossed about by the waves, not knowing where they were, or whither they were going. In the course of the night, they were drifted on an island, and found another boat-load in the same condition. Only one boat of the seven found its way, that night, across the river. When morning came, they found they were near the enemy. As boats crossed and recrossed the river, they made signals of distress ; but they were not relieved till they had passed two days and two nights without food or the means of making a fire to dry them- selves. They were supposed by their officers to be lost.
At another time, when sleeping on the ground, a cry was heard, " A cannon-ball is rolling towards us!" He instantly sprang up on his hands and knees; the ball struck his cartridge-box, on which his head, a few seconds before, was resting, and dashed it to pieces ; it then struck a stone-wall, opened a gap, and, rolling a few rods farther, stopped.
In the year 1780, he enlisted again for six months, and served a portion of the time at West Point. He was there when Arnold attempted to give it into the hands of the British.
