With him,-having made arrangements to
work the farm STEVENS was to buy,-and
after the former had disappeared, it was sus-

been interested in the operation. About tho
time that STEVENS left, VANrirsERa also left
town, going to Usage. While there he wrote
letter directed to STEVENS at this placs.-
That letter was taken from the Office by the
Sheriff and opened. There was nothing in
it duplicating VAx1iLBERG in the transaction,
but it Immediately suggested itself to the
minds of all those who saw the forged draf,
and the letter, that they were written by one

We would direct the attention of singers,
and all Others interested in the improvement
Of vocal music, to the advertisement in this
paoer of the convention which is to be held
here ne second week in February. Although
many would have preferred as director Mr..
Roo. again, it was at his suggestion that a
new man was chosen; and although Mr.. Ba.
ker has never been here, we believe he is
qgire generally and favorably known through
out New England. With the array of anna
teqr and professional singers that have sig
nGei their intention to be present, we are
confident We shall have another very good
convention here, commencing the 9th of
February next. 1t was great treat to our
citizens. even to those who did not and could
not s;ng to attend the daily exercises of Mr..
Roots convention, and we hope they will en-
JOY the next one equally well. The tickets
are not "in accordance with the times" but
al very low figure, and within the means Of
all! AS the convention tickets admit the
holder to concerts also, it will be economy
for all to buy a" through ticket"

braclng dramas, &c, pertaining to scenes OF

All passed off quietly the first evening, and

l712 and demanded Of the officials the stamp
act which had lately come from England
This bold act of these patriots aroused the
Ire OF the government party in Boston, and
inspired with new zeal they determined to
crush the rising spirit of independence at
once. Accordingly rigorous and wide
spead search was made for those men who
ha thus assaled the officers of the British
government; and as Mcintosh was a leader
especial effort was made to take him. He
was apprised of these proceedings and ad-
vlsed to leave the city. But what would he
come OF his motheress children ?-Betsey
and her brother Paschel, two years her Sc
NOR. At first he was determined to leave
them with their uncle, Samuel Maverick. but
the soldiers and constables, who had been
searching IN every nook and corner for Nc
lntosh without success had become enraged
and began to fire on the people in the streets.
and Maverick was shot dead near lis own
door Mcintosh now made up his mind to
take his children with him. Accordingly, in
the darkness of night, he left the city, the
boy at his side and Betsey on his back; a
small lot OF shoemaker's tools and few shil-
lInss in his pocket, constituting the whole
family and effects of the selF-exied man.
Much OF the journey vas through an unbro-
ken wilderness, and having to travel in the
night and sleep and rest in the dav, added to
the fatigue and WEAKNESS of the long Jour
ney. They found many friends, however,
and Betsey soon became fayorite with all
who CHANGED to see her. Mr.. Mcintosh con-
,lnued his flight till he reached Haverhill
\. H., where he resided many years. The
son went to Ohio, and afterwards his father
spent several years with him there, but in
1907 he returned to Ryegate where Betsev
then lived, coming all that journey on foot.
Betsey had married Jabez Bigelow, who was
born in Westminster, Mass, in 1854. They
were married in Newbury, where they lived
several years, but came to Ryegate in 1892
Betseys husband was known as Major Bige-
low, and he was long an efficient Justice and
town officer. Mr.. Mcintosh died in 1914
Betsey in 1913, and Major Bigelow died and
was buried on the first day of 1882 Betsey
had eleven children. She was very useful
person in her neighborhood,-of kind and
benevolent disposition, anl her family were
much respected in town.
