WITCHES.

1810.]

aggrieved farmer sometimes hurried them along silently, for fear of a rescue by the owner.

When they are safely within the strong walls and the key turned, then it was away to John Robie or some other justice of the peace to make the notices, tax the costs, appraise the damages and get ready to sell if the owner did not pay up at once. Sometimes the latter would be mad and rush to some lawyer for a writ of replevin, and then there would be a vexatious lawsuit.

The Quakers never made any use of the pound, and at the present time it is a rare thing to impound animals. Lately the law has been changed, and any man's enclosure may be used as a place to shut up animals estray when no public pound is provided.

HISTORY OF WEARE, NEW HAMPSHIRE.

[1762.

"There be no beggars in this country, but witches too many," says a writer of the last century.

At the time of the settlement of this country the belief in witches was universal. It was supposed that Satan was in rebellion against God and in warfare against the church ; that he exercised his malev- olent influence through the agency of human beings, who by formal compact had agreed to become his subjects and to serve him. Such persons bore upon their bodies a witch-mark affixed by Satan, which was known by the point where it was made becoming callous and dead. In compensation for this service, supernatural powers to afflict others and do all manner of mischief were transferred to them.

Satan furnished his witch a bridle, which put upon any thing ani- mate or inanimate made a steed of it, that could fly swift as a sun- beam through the air from place to place. Witches could ride in at a key hole, mount up in the ether, run on the steepest roofs, walk head down like a fly on the ceiling, be in two places at once, the real body at home, thẻ apparition abroad, could take the form of an ani- mal, generally that of a black cat, -had a Pandora's box from which could be let out all the ills that flesh is heir to, transfix a pedestrian to the earth, hold him motionless and read his thoughts, cause herds in pastures to run till exhausted, overturn loads of hay on level ground, cause cows to hold up their milk, prevent cream from be- coming butter in their neighbors' churns, snuff out candles at husk- ings and leave the huskers in the dark, drum on the chines of an empty pork barrel in the cellar to disgrace the unthrifty farmer, do a thousand and one other pranks, and when need be could call up the spirits of the dead, and for vengeance could make the wind blow, the clouds rise, the lightning flash, the thunder roar, and devastate the land with rain, hail and tempest.

Mrs. William Dustin, as has been told, was the great witch of Weare. Of her it could be said : -

" She roamed the country far and near, Bewitched the children and the peasants, Dried up the cows, and lamed the deer, And sucked the eggs, and killed the pheasants."

It is told how she troubled Reuben Favor who lived on Barnard hill. To kill the witch they boiled some of the young man's urine, all agreeing in the meantime to maintain a death-like silence. Some one spoke, while the boiling was going on, the spell was broken, and Mrs. Dustin lived. Reuben's father, carrying a broad-axe, and friends

with him to help, then went to Mrs. Dustin's and told her she must stop tormenting Reuben, or he would kill her. She was frightened and solemnly promised if she had any thing to do with him she would stop it. They went home, and the boy soon got well.

She once caused a calf to get entangled in a " shay wheel," and the owner was unable to get it out till he had cut the spokes.

Mrs. Dustin rode her horse to Whitefield, a hundred and forty miles, in six hours, to see her daughter who was about to be con- fined. She put on her witch bridle, and her spirited animal went swift as the north wind. In half an hour after she got there her grandson was born.

She was down at Oil Mill one day, and some mischievous boys, Amos W. Bailey among them, stuck a needle in her track; instantly she stopped, looked round and could not stir a step till the needle was removed. She bewitched animals, and the only way she could be got out of them was to cut off an ear or tail, throw it in the fire, and at once they would begin to mend ; but Mrs. Dustin would always have a sore spot on her person after it. She would get angry with her neighbors, and their butter would not come; then they had to burn her out of the churn with a hot flat iron. All this was a dread- ful scandal on poor Mrs. Dustin, who was a very nice woman.

Near Weare Center lived Mother Carr, wife of the village black- smith, in the house now occupied by Stephen P. Colby. She was nearly as noted as Mrs. Dustin. Lydia and Dolly Green, Quaker maiden ladies, resided where Joseph Bowie now lives. The sisters had a favorite cow, and the old witch Carr, being put out with them, bewitched the animal. It would go around the yard, look over the fence, bellow in a most mournful cadence, and once deliberately walked into the kitchen. Its appetite failed, and it vomited all it ate. The maidens, like the Simple Shepherd, inquired, -

" What causes her to look so very thin? Her bones are barely covered by her skin. What magic has bewitched the hairy dam? "

The fact of the cow's vomiting was conclusive evidence that she was bewitched ; they said, " It is well known that the dog and cat swim, and sometimes the horse vomits, but the ox never." Finally the cow pined away and died.

Aunt Lydia, as she was universally called, was taken ill much the same as the cow. She talked incoherently, made strange expressions, was irregular about her meals and at times was very irritable and

416

troublesome. Some mysterious influence threw her head foremost into the well, where the water was several feet deep; she went plump to the bottom, brought up mud on her cap and was taken out alive and uninjured. Ah, Mother Carr ! it was a sorry prank you played on Aunt Lydia !

Some young men, who had played cards till midnight, were about separating when one proposed to play till their short bit of candle burned out. The others agreed, and they played full five hours more till broad daylight, the candle not having diminished in the least. Mother Carr lived close by and had prolonged the life of the candle in compliance with the devil's wishes.

Some of Mother Carr's neighbors had great luck berrying. The old lady tried to have them give her a few, but they had none to spare. "You will be sorry for your stinginess," says she. The next time they went, having to go through a large wood, they became bewildered and lost. They knew it was the work of Mother Carr, and to extricate themselves they resorted to the expedient of turning all their clothing inside out. This broke the witch's charm, they soon found the way, but they did not get home till long after night- fall.

Chevy Chase on Chevey hill had in some manner incurred the enmity of Mother Carr. He was getting in hay one day and was driving on level ground. Suddenly his load was turned completely over, no cause for it, and he knew it was the work of the old witch.

An old gentleman who lived near Center Square said that when a boy he usually walked to the Carr house till he got abreast of it, then ran till he thought he was safe, when he turned round, and if no one was in sight he pelted it with stones.

Mother Carr, like Mrs. Dustin, was the victim of slander.

Simon Brown lived near Weare Center with his two maiden sis- ters to keep house for him. He was greatly troubled with witches. Being over six feet tall and very strong, he generally fought them with edge tools. He would take a very sharp axe by the end of the handle and cut right and left with it through the air, flourishing it as easily as a boy would a lead pencil. When he was tired of this he would thrust and lunge with an immense butcher knife, which he had sharpened keen as a razor. If he saw a person looking at him he would stop. In this way he would kill witches and keep himself free from their charms.

There was a house on lot fifteen, range six, where, in old times,

417

SARAH DOLBY.

1830.]

the witches were accustomed to meet and hold their revels. Ben- jamin Cilley, Jr., built it, Rev. John Cayford once lived in it, and Robert Noyes was a witness of the wild pranks of Satan's children. All that witches could do was done in that house, and Mr. Noyes was compelled to leave it and move away to Newburyport. Joshua Cil- ley afterwards lived there for many years, but the weird riders of broom-sticks had no power over him.

Mrs. Thomas Emerson, who lived on Barnard hill, was wrongly reputed to be a witch. It was a great scandal, but Lucinda Worthley said she felt her power. She, with other girls, were once going to mill, and Goody Emerson wished them to carry a grist for her ; they refused, and she said, " You'll be sorry for it." Coming home, a great black cat followed them in the woods, screeching awfully. Lucinda knew that it was the witch's apparition, and they were terribly frightened.

Sarah Dolby, who once lived with Ezekiel Kimball, east of Mount William, was reputed a great witch, and she rather liked the repu- tation. Uncle Tristram Johnson used to say that she would come to his house in the night, clap her witch bridle on him, change him to a horse and ride him for long hours. In the morning he would be so tired that he could hardly rise. Sarah went to Mr. Johnson's house one very cold day, and sat down close to the fire in the large, old- fashioned fire-place to warm herself. Johnson seeing, as he thought, an opportunity to return good for evil, stepped along and put a needle in the back of her chair, thereby pinning her to, the spot. Then he piled on the wood, making a huge blaze, and when the witch, roasting, sweating and writhing in agony, vainly attempted to get away, he would soothingly say, "Sit still, sit still, Aunt Sarah, and warm yourself as long as you wish." When he thought she could endure it no longer he slyly took out the needle; she at once rose, said she must be going and vanished. But she never rode Tris- tram Johnson again. We hardly know which most to admire, the power of the witch or the credulity of Mr. Johnson. It is told that she would stop horses in the highway, where they would stand and sweat as though they could see some terrible object, which was in- visible to their riders.

She afterwards moved to our Rockland village, fitted up a room in a shed, took her meals at the factory boarding-house and told fortunes for a living. When she died she was buried in the north- west corner of Center Square cemetery. People would go to her

418

grave and say, "Surely, she was a witch, for see how the grave is hollowed in." There was a hole in the earth at the head of it, and some would shudder as they thought it was there her ghost went out and in.

Old people long ago used to tell in an undertone how a terrible witch was killed, in the north part of the town; but for prudential reasons they never gave her name. Her double would go round to the neighbors in the form of a wild-looking black cat with an evil eye. Then there would be trouble and afflictions in every family she visited. One man said he would stand it no longer. So when the cat came to his house again, he caught it, threw it quick as a flash into the old-fashioned brick oven which was at a white heat, and shut it in with the iron door. It was soon told in all the log- cabins of the town that the old witch was lying dead in bed at her home, burned to a crisp.

People long ago nailed up horse-shoes over the door to keep out witches, and a few superstitious fools do the same now. The most ignorant believe that if a dog howls in the night some one is going to die, that to spill the salt is a bad omen, that the ticking of a little bug in the wall is a sure sign of death and that Friday is an unlucky day. But the great majority of people are emancipated from such superstitions.

Only a few who love to be humbugged really believe in spirit- rappings, table-tippings and materializations. Soon these shall go with the rest. The fairies, the witches, the apparitions, the personal devil, which were so firmly believed in a hundred years ago are now all gone,-lost never to come back. It almost broke the heart to part with the dear old ghosts, but they are dead, and only a return to the grossest ignorance and savagism can ever resurrect them. All the remaining ghosts sooner or later must die, the idols will be given up, and in their place let us have the truth, no matter where it leads.

CHAPTER LII.

MASONS.

SOME say the order of Free Masons is co-eval with the world. Mr. Clinch tried to deduce its origin from the institutions of Pythagoras. It is said to have originated with King Solomon at the building of

419

MASONS.

1828.]

the Temple. A few have alleged that it was an invention of the English Jesuits, and others tell how it arose during the Crusades. The pontiffs of Rome formerly conferred important privileges on the order, and Free Masons built elegant churches and grand cathedrals throughout Europe.

The first Free Masons of Weare took their degrees in the Benev- olent lodge at Amherst, the Pacific lodge at Francestown and the Aurora lodge of Henniker. They numbered more than thirty, and they thought they ought to have a lodge at home. Accordingly they met April 19, 1828, at Charles Chase's hall, now Peterson's house, to consult about forming one .* Samuel Huntington was called to the chair, and Moses Huntington was made secretary. They chose a committee of three: John Chase, 2d, John Walton and Allen Sawyer, to report officers in case they should petition for a charter. They brought in Samuel Huntington for worshipful master, John Walton senior warden, and Daniel Paiget junior warden. A secret ballot was then had, and Hon. Joseph Philbrick

* Masons at the first meeting were : -

Charles Chase, John Cheney,

John Chase, 2d, Squire Gove, Charles Gove,

John Walton,

Jonathan Dow,

Leonard Gee,

R. M. Cummings, Samuel A. Shute,

Samuel Huntington, Moses Huntington, Ailen Sawyer.

t HON. DANIEL PAIGE, the only son of Enoch and Cornelia Paige, was born Nov. 3, 1798. His early days were spent on the old homestead farm. He obtained a good district-school education and afterwards had the advantage of a more extended study at Providence Friends' boarding-school.

Mr. Paige for several years carried on a farm and then kept a country dry-goods and grocery store at Weare Center. Having been appointed a justice of the peace, he early began to write deeds, wills and other legal papers. He acted as administrator of many estates and advised and assisted others in probate court business. He was agent for the town in many cases and became very familiar with the practice of the law and equity courts. He was a safe legal advisor in matters of difference between neighbors, and no man in Weare had more of the confidence and respect of the peo- ple than he. He was an eminent practical surveyor and for many years was employed in this business in Weare and surrounding towns.

Mr. Paige was often honored by his townsmen with public office. He was nine times elected moderator at the annual town-meeting; was selectman for thirteen years, and represented the town in the legislature nine years; no other Weare man was ever a member of the general court for so long a period. He was a member of the New-Hampshire senate in 1857 and 1858.

Mr. Paige was a quiet, sober, well-balanced man, and managed the prudential affairs of the town discreetly. He was one of the committee to build the town-house, and was agent for the care of the school-fund for more than thirty-five years.

In religion he was a Friend, or Quaker, and was a member of that church during his life.

Mr. Paige had two noticeable traits of character : first, his extreme care to avoid the use of offensive expressions to any one, however sorely he might be pressed, and never to assail the private character or speak evil of his fellow-men; second, his undeviating integrity. He aimed to render to every one what was justly due, what- ever it might cost himself.

He married, first, Mary Gove, daughter of Levi and Lydia Gove, Oct. 25, 1827, and to them was born Franklin E. Paige, now of Philadelphia; second, Sabrina A. Han- son, of Pittsfield, Sept. 17, 1834, and to them were born four sons : Denis A., Charles N., Warren D. and Edward G. Paige.

Mr. Page died Feb. 7, 1875, of cancer in the lip, caused, as the physicians thought, by excessive smoking, and " was buried in a small private lot adjoining the burying- ground of Friends' North Meeting."

The town, at its next annual meeting after his death, passed resolutions of the highest respect to his memory.

was chosen worshipful master, Josiah Edwards senior warden, and Charles Chase junior warden.

Samuel Huntington and John Walton were chosen to visit the nearest lodges and obtain their approbation. Brother Huntington visited Aurora lodge and Bible lodge, Brother Walton the Pacific lodge. They reported at a meeting held May 3, " 5828," that they were " approbated." It was then voted that this lodge assume the name of the Golden Rule lodge. A petition to the grand lodge for a charter was drawn May 18th, and Joseph Philbrick and Daniel Paige chosen to present it. They reported June 21st that with the assistance of Bro. Samuel Huntington they had got a charter, for which they had given their promissory note of $50 payable in one year, with interest from June 11th *. It was then voted that the offi- cers not named in the charter should be appointed by the chair. The master named Squire Gove treasurer, Moses Huntington sec- retary, Samuel Huntington senior deacon, John Walton junior deacon, John Cheney senior steward, Charles Gove junior steward, and Allen Sawyer tyler.

They chose Josiah Danforth, Isaac J. Caldwell and Samuel Hun- tington a committee to draft a code of by-laws, Moses Huntington, Josiah Edwards and John Chase, 2d, to procure jewels, clothing, working-tools and other things suitable for installation and the use of the lodge ; borrowed $50 of Charles Chase to pay for them, and voted that the regular communications be on Mondays preceding the full moon of each month, to open at three o'clock and close at eight o'clock in the afternoon precisely.

They met again July 21st, all the officers and Josiah Danforth, Isaac J. Caldwell, David D. Hanson, Jonathan Dow, Hugh Jameson and Richard M. Cummings were present. An Entered Apprentice lodge was opened, the charter was presented and read by the secre- tary, and Bro. Charles Chase was proposed to be initiated next lodge night.

At the next meeting they opened a lodge of Master Masons. Balloted for Samuel Barker to be a member; ballot unanimous; also for Ezra Dow with like result. These candidates each paid $10 to be initiated. Oct. 20th they passed to the degree of Fellow

Craft and were crafted, for which they paid $2. The next March Bro. Ezra Dow was raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason, for which he paid $3.

The Golden Rule lodge was consecrated Nov. 19, 5828, and its officers installed in ample form at the old town-house. All were present. Isaac J. Caldwell was marshal, Josiah Danforth carried the holy writings, and Samuel Gove the Masonic carpet. They had a glorious time ; music all day long. Bro. Joseph E. Long, Congrega- tionalist minister at Hooksett, was chaplain and orator; his oration was printed; a most sumptuous dinner . was provided at Whittle's hall by Bro. William Whittle,* sentiments appropriate to Masonry were drank; and their wives were not forgotten as is shown by the following unique record : "Suitable refreshments are to be furnished for the ladies by Bro. John Cheney for fifty cents each, or if they shall want only dinner and spirit but once, for a less price." The whole expense of the consecration was $68.43 for eighteen members, or $3.80 apiece.

Everything was bright now and looked prosperous for the future. Their first sorrow came June 4, 1829; Bro. Oliver Edwards was killed that day while blasting rocks. A fragment struck him in the head. He was buried with Masonic rites.

May 31, 1830, they were honored with the presence of Don José Rocha, a visitor from Spain.

Nov. 26th their worshipful master, Joseph Philbrick, died. He had a Masonic funeral, and Bro. Samuel Huntington was chosen master in his place.

As the years went by more members died, several moved out of town and some did not pay their dues. But few were initiated and

* WILLIAM WHITTLE was born in Litchfield July 22, 1764, and was a soldier at an early age in the war of the Revolution. He was in trade in his native town a few years, and about 1793 moved with his family to Weare Center. Here he engaged in many occupations, being a man of uncommon business talents and perhaps, with the exception of John Hodgdon, the greatest land owner in town. He had a large and flourishing store, conducted the tavern which had an immense patronage, it being in time of great six- and eight-horse teams, numerous stages, and the great winter car- avan of two-horse pungs and one-horse pods which journeyed from the north towns to the markets down country. He also manufactured potash, and was the prime mover in building the cotton factory where is now Rockland, and was the principal owner.
