ASKING A BLESSING. Joseph Felch and Jacob Ordway, with others, once worked for Lemuel Paige in his tannery on Page hill. Paige and his family ate by themselves, had the best, and gave the leavings to the workmen. Ordway was disgusted, and at the next meal told the men to wait, and then all listening, he asked a bless- ing as follows : -
" Good Lord of love, look from above, With eyes as sharp as sickles, And cut the throats of those mean folks Who eat the best of vittels."
After supper he thus returned thanks : -
" Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust, If God won't have them the devil must."
The workmen fared better after that.
JONES' PARROT. Joseph Jones, who lived near Rockland many years ago, had a very intelligent parrot, named Boy, that could say

many words. A hawk caught Boy and carried him away one day over the mill lot. Samuel Kimball was at work there. Boy saw and knew Kimball, and shouted, " Boy have good ride, Sam," "Boy have good ride, Sam," which so frightened the hawk that it dropped Boy, and Kimball had the pleasure of restoring him to his owner.
STRONG PEOPLE. Thomas Favor once went to Concord, election day, the first Wednesday in June, and while there was asked to try his strength on a lifting-machine that registered six hundred pounds. Thomas declined ; said he might injure the machine. The owner bantered him, the crowd laughed at him, and then he paid his cent and took hold. He tried it easy at first, then suddenly straightened himself, pulled the handle completely out of the socket, and utterly ruined the instrument. The owner thought one cent pretty cheap for what cost him many dollars. Like Dole Carr, the Favors often drew the plough to furrow out. Betsey Peaslee, who married Daniel Breed, and moved to Unity, would take a barrel of cider by the chines, lift it to her mouth, as easily as one would a gallon cask, and drink out of the bung. Mrs. Moses Watson could do the same. Abigail Peaslee, mother of Betsey, when more than ninety years old, would go to the well and draw a pail of water with a pole and sweep, set the pail on the curb, and going to the wood-shed take up a large armful of wood, and then carry both pail and wood into the house at once with apparent ease and pleasure. John Peaslee was the strongest man in Weare. He injured him- self wrestling, went to Bolton, Canada, and died.
PENSIONER. Jonathan Cilley was out in the Revolution. He was afterwards entitled to a pension, and employed Israel Peaslee to obtain it for him. Mr. Peaslee charged him something for his services, and Mr. Cilley often said, "Too bad ! too bad, that they should charge us old pretentioners so much for getting our pen- sions."
THE SACRAMENT. Eunice Craft, a Freewill Baptist lady, was present at the Calvin Baptist meeting when they held communion. She waited patiently for some of the flesh and blood, but they passed her by. This hurt the poor lady's feelings, and she wept aloud, making a great noise. The minister pitied her and told the deacon to give her some. He did so, she was pacified, and quiet was restored.
BEAR. Alexander Wilson early lived near East Weare. One

year bears used to trouble him, breaking down his corn. He got a neighbor to watch with him for them one night. Late in the even- ing they went out to reconnoitre, had just entered the corn-field when a huge bear rose up on his haunches directly in front of them. They both fired at the same time. The bear made a plunge towards them, as they thought, when much frightened they ran to the house and did not venture out again till the next morning. They found the bear lying dead, having only fallen its length towards them when shot. It was very large and fat, weighing over four hundred pounds.
SWAPPING WATCHES AND HORSES. Stephen Melvin, of Weare, was a great business man, and dealt largely in land, horses and cattle. He yearly attended the Derry fair. At one time he took his lowest-priced horse and two watches, hired a stall and put up a notice over the entrance, " Will exchange horses for one dollar." On his arrival home a neighbor asked him what luck, and he said that he traded horses twenty-eight times, and came home with the same horse he took with him, had a pocket full of watches and $28 boot-money.
PHYSICIAN. Lemuel W. Paige studied six weeks with Doctor Adams, of Goffstown, and then commenced practice at East Weare. He had a dressing gown of gay colors, and with it on, he drove a fast horse about town, as though he had a hundred patients right in the jaws of death. Some of the jokers had a gown of the gaudiest copper plate made for John Collins, the blacksmith, and he with an equally fast horse and dress flying, drove up and down the village after the doctor. Paige "was madder than a hen." Collins got the title of doctor, and the wags were delighted.
PRAYING. Grandfather Edmunds, who lived on Sugar hill, knelt on his broad, chamber stairs to pray for over seventy years. The long and constant use wore a hole through the wood.
SILVER MONEY. In the early times hardly any other was used. Jonathan Philbrick, of South Weare, bought a farm in the gore, and paid a peck of silver dollars for it. He carried them in his saddle bags on the back of a horse. When old John Hogg sold his farm in Dunbarton to Robert Alexander, he received a half bushel of silver dollars. Hogg carried his money to Amherst and de- posited it in the bank.
WOODCHUCKS. Thomas Cilley, Jr., who lived in the north-east part of the town, was a great woodchuck hunter. He said he

always knewwhen he had got one, because he could hear him " chickawhicker" in the wall. From this Mr. Cilley bore the name of Chickawhicker ever after.
THE LAST LOG-HOUSE in town was taken down a few years ago by Harvey George, to give place to a more modern structure. It stood half a mile east of Center Square, and was built by Amos Stoning more than a hundred years before of hewn logs. The partitions were also of hewn timbers. Long ago it was sealed up on the timbers and plastered overhead, clapboarded with split clap- boards outside, and made to resemble a modern built house. No one passing suspected it was an ancient log-cabin, the only one in town.
TAKE IN YOUR CHIMNEY. Judy Wadleigh, who lived near Rock- land, and loved rabbit stew, was called out one cloudy day by a stranger who was riding past and advised to take in her chim- ney. "What for?" said she in a shrill voice. "Because it's going to rain, and it may get wet if you don't." Judy saw him slowly com- ing up the road, a week or so afterwards, ran out and with the greatest concern said, "Mister, your wheel is loose." The man got out, shook it, and said he guessed it was all right. " Well," said she, " I saw it rolling round." When he was driving off she squealed after him, "You'd better take in your chimney, too, it may get wet."
A FAITHFUL HORSE. Old Joseph Webster, who lived down on Chuck street, would often get very balmy, and sometimes fall from his steed. When he was unable to mount, he would look up to the old mare and say, "Stick tew, Fidelia, stick tew," and Fidelia would "stick tew " and stand there by her master till he sobered off enough to regain the saddle, and then carry him safely home.
AN IDLE FELLOW. When James Wallace kept a store at South Weare, he was annoyed by an idle fellow, who habitually lingered about after customers had departed. After many fruitless efforts to get rid of him, Mr. Wallace took him aside one night, and with an air of great secrecy informed him that he suspected an attempt would be made to rob the store, and asked him if he would watch for the approach of burglars; the fellow assented, and Mr. Wal- lace placed him on the top of a flour barrel, and told him to watch carefully through an opening over the door, and notify him if any one approached. "I will be at the back of the store, so you need n't be afraid," said Mr. Wallace. The poor fellow remained motionless

at his post until near morning, when he began to suspect a trick. He never after lingered at the store.
ROAST PIG. Some years ago, neighbor G. called on Mr. H., and noticing a nice litter of pigs in the door-yard, said he thought some night he would come down to his place and carry one of them home, to which Mr. H. replied, that he was welcome to one of them, provided he could do it without his knowledge. Some days passed, and Mr. G. invited Mr. H. to come to his place and take dinner with him. Mr. H. accepted the invitation and repaired to Mr. G.'s, and when he came to the table he found it adorned with a nice roasted pig, being one taken from the litter seen at Mr. H.'s by Mr. G. As they were both jovial souls the joke was much enjoyed, and as there were not many Good Templars in those days, they took a little something to add to the hilarity of the occasion.
"WOODCHUCK." Moses A. Cartland visited the school at East Weare, one summer day. He took up the water-pail, and address- ing one of the smaller pupils, asked, " What is this ?" " A water- pail," was the reply. "And this?" pointing to one of the parts. "A stave," said the boy. "And this ?" " A hoop." "And this ?" "The bottom." " And what other name has the bottom?" " Chuck," said a small boy, whose father was a cooper. " And what is the whole made of?" "Wood." " And so this pail is a woodchuck," said Cartland; and the scholars never forgot the object lesson.
EXCITED. Gilchrist's store, at East Weare, burned about 1842. There was a tenement in the second story, and the neighbors worked with all their might to bring out the furniture. Some boys brought a bureau to the head of the stairs. They could not get it down without breaking the posts and rail, which they proceeded to do. Just then Nathaniel Boynton appeared at the foot, threw up his hands in the wildest excitement and exclaimed, " For heaven's sake, boys, don't break that balustrade." The boys ceased their effort ; balustrade and bureau both burned, and when it was all over Boynton was delighted at the thought of his remarkable coolness and self-possession.
TRAMPS. Old William Haines, with a carpet-bag in each hand, umbrella and cane under his arm, coat thrown over his shoulder, beard long, grizzly and flowing, great, dirty slouch hat, a few pins, needles and other notions to sell, made periodical visits to Weare, for more than thirty years. He was a terror to children, and a subject never to be forgotten by the old folks.

Bare-headed Peter. Peter Codman. He was a crazy tramp from Hillsborough, often seen in Weare, and always bare-headed, no matter how hot the sun or severe the storm.
Old Jaquith went up and down the country for nearly fifty years. He always had two heifers drawing a small cart. He would make them dance and jump a pole for one cent, or he would preach five minutes for a cent.
MARRIAGE. The following curious record is found on the town book :. "Married. Jack, of Dunbarton, to Judith, of Weare, Oct. 26, 1789.'' They were colored people, and so far as surnames were concerned, seemed to have gone back to the tenth century, when there were none.
JUSTICES OF THE PEACE. Capt. Simon Perkins and Israel Peaslee were appointed justices of the peace March 17, 1813.
BILL OF FARE. Soon after the cars began to run, Dudley Lull, of Weare, visited Manchester. He went to the Manchester house for his dinner. They passed him a bill of fare. He put it in his pocket and said he guessed he would read that after he had got through eating.
SQUIRREL HUNTS. They were common in old times. Two men would be appointed captains, and they "would choose sides," select- ing the best hunters first, until all who wished to join were en- rolled. The game they shot would count so much each, - a striped squirrel, 1; a red, 5; a gray, 10 ; a black, 20; a crow, 25; an owl, 30; a hawk, 50, and so on, and the side wlio got the largest amount in adding the count won, and the side beaten had to pay for a hotel supper for all. John C. Ray and Robert Johnson were captains of a royal hunt at East Weare. The father of Lydia Johnson got the supper for the hunters, and Curtis Felch, a man six and one-half feet tall, beat all in the amount he eat. He swallowed beef, mutton and pork, with potatoes and gravy to match, and then for dessert, ate thirty large pieces of pie by actual count.
ITEMS. William Hilton, one of the first settlers of Dover, came to Plymouth, Mass., in the ship Fortune, Nov. 11, 1621.
A Mr. Kimball, who lived south-east of Mount William, was short of hay one winter; some of his cattle starved to death, and he piously put whisps of hay in their mouths to make people think they had plenty to eat.
John Worthley, son of Thomas Worthley, the third settler, was known for fifty years as " Old Pestle and All."

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.
1773.]
Samuel Martin is said to have been the "handsomest" man in Weare. He was known as "Gunlock Martin," because of the fan- ciful resemblance of his nose, chin and mouth to the flint-lock of an old-style gun.
Stephen Lee, the counterfeiter, had a little donkey that was accus- tomed to bray in the most wonderful and terrific manner, much to the delight of the good people of Weare.
Stephen Emerson, who lived on lot four in the gore, came to his brother Marden's very early one morning, carried home on his shoulder an old-fashioned breaking-up plow that weighed about a hundred pounds, and did a good day's work with it before his son Joe was out of bed.
Abel Webster, of East Weare, made that plow in one day, but the beam and mould-board were previously split out. Mr. Webster once went to Enos Merrill's for a little spirit; they asked him what he wanted it for. He said : -
" I want a pint of gin, Here's a bottle to put it in."
" What you going to do with it?"
" Take it down to Chase's shop And pour it down the blacksmith's crop."
Abel was gifted in prayer. "O Lord, send us plenty of shad." " O Lord, above all things send us an abundance of lamper-eels." These petitions were in every one of his spring addresses to the Throne of Grace.
Lamper eels were once caught in great abundance by Jacob Carr's.
BEAVER. The last one was caught near the river, a hundred rods north of Emerson bridge.
STEEL SAWS. There were none in the old times. They had iron backs.
STONE IMAGE. One was dug from the ground near East Weare. It had a human head, and was supposed to have been an idol of the Indians.
Lieut. William Dustin's wife's given name was Rhoda.
In 1773 William Ayers was paid nine shillings for boarding Dr. Benjamin Paige, school-teacher.
Cayford hollow is an immense "kettle hole" a few rods east of East Weare depot.
Moses Emerson went to the war of 1812 and never returned.

KIDD'S TREASURE. A quarter of an acre on Jesse Hadley's farm, north of the store at South Weare, was dug over to the depth of several feet to find buried treasures. Doctor Grant with others was digging there, one dark night. He put his iron bar down into the earth; something broke it. "Good God! the spell is broken," said the doctor. It was a clean, new break in the bright iron, and the men said the ghost of the pirate Kidd probably bit it off with his teeth.
Clement Jackson, of East Weare, always bore the name of "Gen- eral Jackson."
John Barnard, of East Weare, always had the name of “ Devil John."
John Barnard, of Barnard hill, that of " Honest John."
" Beachman " Cilley lived near Sugar hill; he had been to the beach once.
Ebenezer Peaslee was one of the early settlers. He had a son Moses, who had a son Ebenezer, who in turn had a son Moses, and each of them served as chairman of the board of selectmen in Weare.
Col. Newell Evans was born a cripple ; lived at East Weare, and is well known by all the citizens. He was once in Concord, and no way to get home but to walk on his little, fourteen-inches-long crutches. The distance is ten miles; he made eight before some one came along to give him a ride, a feat, which all who knew him, considered a marvel of pluck and endurance. He was out sleigh-riding once, in a drifty time, with a large party, well wrapped up in a great cloak. They tipped over, and all fell out in a heap. Some one thought he was a bundle; picked him up and stood him head down in the light snow. He was infinitely pleased when he was soon after rescued from his suffocating position.
CENSUS. The first census of New Hampshire was taken in 1767. The following is the report of " Weare Town " :-
