The officer was perfectly happy, wedged in between the bags and barrels of a dusty garret; and there he lay, in total darkness, till the promised hour, when Mr. Hall showed him the front door; and he went in safety, thanking his generous enemy as the saviour of his life. Jan. 4, 1779.--Our town-record reads thus: Mr. Jonathan Patten says he will use his endeavor that Mr. Foster shall not use any more charcoal in the blacksmith-shop near the bridge; and, if he still persists in using charcoal, that he, the said Patten, will desire Mr. Foster to quit the shop. How Mr. Blacksmith Foster could get along with his work in those days without charcoal, we do not see; and why this municipal interdict, we do not know. Where the town-pump now stands, in the market-place, there was a small pond, whose edges were covered

Some of these owning only one-half of the house.

This pasture adjoined no road but was bounded east on Jonathan Patten, north on Ebenezer Brooks, Jr., northwest on heirs of Samuel Brooks, Jr., and west by land lately of the Whitmores. The consideration named was £68s16 to reae hundred and fourteen pounds, conveyed twenty acres upland and meadow south by a lane, east partly by a lane and partly by Timothy Newell, north partly by Jona.
