BEAR KILLING EXTRAORDINARY.
When the settlement was new, bears, deer, wolves and other animals were found in great abundance. The bears made hunting something more than a dil- løtanti amusement; the deer afforded food for the table and clothing for the hunters; the wolves were simply an annoyance, and the minor animals lent variety to the sport of hunting and to the larders of the pioneers' houses. Several bears were killed in the township. We narrate one instance, as it is somewhat novel one, and although seemingly outside of the realm of probability, if not of possibility, is vouched for by those whose word is above suspicion of unreliability. George Eldridge, while passing through the woods, one day, in the northern part of the town- ship, where the Jenning's farm now is, saw, at a little distance, a full grown bear standing upon the trunk of a large fallen tree. He raised his rifle, took a steady aim and fired. The bear fell down behind the tree, and Eldridge, not knowing whether he had killed him or not, reloaded his gun. He had no balls and so put in a beech slug. He had no sooner got his gun in readiness for use, then he saw the head of bruin raised above the tree trunk. Ile fired, and the animal dropped from sight. The hunter prudently loaded a second time and as quickly as possible, for in those days no man felt safe when in the woods un- less provided for any emergency. After ramming the second beech slug home, he waited a few seconds. and was rewarded with a third shot, which, like the former ones, apparently took effect. Again the bear fell from the log. Reloading the rifle, Eldridge went cautiously forward to see whether the three shots fired had quite ended the animal's life, and on reach- ing the tree trunk and looking over it, was surprised to find three dead bears instead of one. He had sup- posed, all of the time, that there was but one bear in

the vicinity, that the first and second shots had only slightly wounded him, and that he had each time, after recovering his surprise, again clamered upon the tree to reconnoiter the enemy. The trio consisted of a she bear and two cubs, more than half grown. The old bear weighed four hundred pournds, and her flesh furnished food for several families. This bear killing episode was commonly looked upon as something reflecting great credit upon Mr. Eldridge. He was a good marksman, but probably his success in this instance depended as much upon "good luck," or the kindness of fate, as upon his ability. Killing three bears in a period of time measured by abont as many minutes, and with only three shots, two of them with bits of wood in the place of leaden ball, is a feat not often, if ever, equaled. The adventure became, and was for a long time, the subject of much wonder throughout the neighborhood.
A MURDER TRIAL.
About the year 1825, there was great excitement in the community caused by the wide-spread suspicion that a murder had been committed. A certain peri- patetic philosopher named "Tug" Carpenter, who went from house to house through the settlement, making and mending shoes, was missing. Search was made, but he could not be found. He had been making his home at the house of Wright Blne. Thus far he could be traced, and no further. There were some who believed that he had been foully dealt with by Blue, and it was not long before the suspicion grew stronger, as evil thoughts when cherished always will. Finally Wright Blue was arrested and tried be- fore Eleazer Jones for murner. The excitement of the trial, however, was destined to be brought to a speedy and pleasantly melo-dramatic close. While the inquiry was progressing, "Tug," the innocent cause of considerable anxiety, walked into the midst of the little assemblage. Blue burst into tears upon this sudden and complete clearing away of the dark cloud that had hung over him, but soon regained composure and received the kindly congratulations of his friends upon the happy ending of what had threatened to be a very serious affair.
FOURTH OF JULY, 1822.
On the Fourth of July, 1822, about four hundred people from Norwalk, Greenfield, Monroe, Fitchville, New Haven, Bronson and other townships, joined with the residents of Fairfield in a very enjoyable celebration. A liberty pole one hundred and five feet long was raised, and the assemblage was addressed in ' patriotic style by Dr. M. C. Saunders. The dinner was cooked in a huge caldron kettle by Captain Phillip Moffitt. It consisted of venison, potatoes and some other articles in small quantities stewed up to- gether. Whortleberries, which grew in abundance, was furnished for desert. Many life-long acquain- tances and friendships were made between the pio- neers, who gathered upon this occasion from nearly
all parts of the county. Since then there have been larger and more ambitious celebrations in Fairfield, but never one more enjoyable. The meeting was held upon Eliphalet W. Day's farm.
FIRST EVENTS.
The child first born in the township was John, son of Eliphalet W. and Abigail Day. He was born in April, 1819. The first child born who lived to be twenty-one years of age, was W. H. H., a son of the same parents. He was born in 1820.
The first death was that of a child of Benjamin Barker, in May, 1823. There were five other deaths during the same year-Eleanor Eldridge, John Day (the first born), another child from the same family, a child of John and Permelia Cherry, and one of Samuel and Eliza Foote.
The first marriage was that of Amos Harkness to Martha Sample, in 1817. The first couple married by Squire Ellsworth, the first justice of the peace, was Oliver Shippey and Hannah Bentley, in 1823.
The first law suit between Fairfield parties was caused by the fact that Gardner Eldridge left some syrup exposed in his sap bush, and that a certain ox, the property of Amos Harkness, loving it not wisely but too well, drank thereof to excess and died. The case was settled by the defendant agreeing to chop for the plaintiff four acres of timber. Eldridge being in poor health, the witnesses relieved him from his task and did the chopping themselves to the plain- tiff's satisfaction.
The first log cabin was built by the Samples npon lot thirty-six in section three. The first frame build- ing was crected by Aaron Smith. It is still in use as a corn-house upon the farm of Frederick Parrott, who lives, by the way, in a house built in 1830, and in which his wife was born. The first framed barn and house was built by Spencer Baker, abont 1826. The first brick houses were those of Havilah Smith and L: T. Benson.
The first tavern was built about 1835, and is still standing, a part of the Fairfield House. The first landlord was Otis Thornton.
The first chopping was made where Frederick Par- rott's house stands.

HISTORY OF HURON AND ERIE COUNTIES, OHIO.
Eliphalet W. Day was clerk of the election. Ran- som B. Ellsworth was elected justice of the peace; Philip Moffitt, Spencer Baker and Ransom B. Ells- worth, trustees; Eleazer Jones, clerk; Spencer Baker, constable.
The township officers elected in 1878, are as fol- lows: Wilbur Huson, clerk; Leonard Carpenter, P. L. Mitchell, T. W. Place, trustees; J. G. Oates, assessor; David Johnson, treasurer; L. D. Allen, J. G. Oates, justices of the peace; M. A. Tuttle, John Snyder, Jr., constables: B. T. Day, Edgar Burrows, Samuel L. Harvey, J. Q. Woodworth, Isaiah Cline, C. McKellogg, H. H. Mckibben, W. R. Smith, Em- met Hinkley, school board.
PHYSICIAL FEATURES.
The surface of the township is quite level, except in the northwest portion where there are ridges and curiously formed hills. The soil throughout is rich, and there is no waste land. The whole township was originally covered with an unusually heavy growth of timber-maple, beech, whitewood and black walnut, the last two varieties being found in great quantity. Black walnut was so common that it was used in large quantity for fence rails by the earliest settlers. Many of these old rails have since been worked up into furniture and house finishing material. The principal stream in the township is a tributary of the Huron river, and flows westward through sections one and four, thence northward through section three into Bronson. Fords creek runs through the south- west corner of the township, and empties into the Huron river in Greenfield township. There is a sandstone formation underlying the whole township, and it occasionally crops ont in such a manner as to be available for use. There are stone quarries in the first, second and third sections, but none of them are worked upon an extensive scale.
Upon the farm of Clark Berry there is a salt well. Some of the early settlers took water from a spring at this place, and boiled it down, seenring a small quanity of salt. The Grovers afterward bored a well here, but lost their drill in the hole, and abandoned the enterprise.
ROADS.
The center road, north and south, was, as originally cut through the forest, the Harrison road. It was made by the General's troops, and subsequently was straightened and improved. In 1825, when the new State road was laid out eleven miles through Fairfield and portions of Ripley and Bronson, the residents of this township gave material assistance to the enter- prise. Benjamin Lee, Jonathan Kingsbury, R. M. Cherry, William Cherry, Silas Adams, Eleazer Jones, Samson Baker, William Greenfield, Clark Berry and Samuel Foote, gave their services. The road cost one hundred dollars per mile. The west, or ridge road, was laid ont at an early day.
CHURCHES.
METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
The earliest religions organization in Fairfield was a Methodist class, formed in 1822. It had less than half a dozen members. From this small beginning has grown, by a steady but slow advancement, a strong church, numbering, in 1879, one hundred and and five members. At one time every professor of religion in the town was a member of this church. Its old members were untiring in their exertions to increase the strength of the society, and those whom they brought into the church, maintained the same high standard of zealous activity. A house of worship was built, which cost one thousand six hundred dollars. Many revivals have been had, and the Christian spirit of the church has never been suffered to abate. The present organization is as follows : Rev. E. J. V. Boothe, Rev. H. B. Palmer, Rev. J. T. Kellam, superannuated, ministers; Theodore Bough- ton, J. H. Curtiss, C. H. Chapman, Amos Curtiss, J. W. Felton and Hiram Tooker, class leaders; C. II. Chapman, Theodore Boughton and W. H. Pinckney, stewards; M. M. Hester, recording steward ; A. C. Taylor, Oliver Ganung, Jonathan Heustis, E. R. Cherry. C. H. Chapman, Theodore Boughton, J. H. Curtiss, trustees: O. L. Calvin, Sunday school super- intendent. The house of worship of this so ciety was built in 1844.
