made the attempt 10 give some "reminiscences
OF the good Old city OF Gouldsboro.
What pity it il that some competent per-
son would not write out graphic history o {
events that have arisen in that ancieEt city !;
for certainly there are matters of interest about
Gouldsboro. beyond what can be found in any
other town in the County, excepting Castine.
1t was here that the Bnghams and Barings
once undertook TO build a city, starting first
At Gouldsboro point. Many years ago the
writer took n stroll down that way to exam
inc the remains there were then standi ~
about half dozen large two story dilapidated
wooden buildings; and evidence Of streets once
laid out. and protected by massive stone walls,
thickly embedded with high growth of aders.
The whole showing evidence that the effort
was q failure.
The residence of the late Gen. Cobb, where
called on my way back. is about half way
down the point. The house and surroundings
there bore marks of having once been run on
magnificent scale; worthy the home Of such
men as John Richards, VIM. Bingham, Alex.
Barring. Gen. Cobb, John Black and Joseph
Il. Ingersol.
At the time Of my call. the house was oceu-
pied by Thomas Cobb. one Of the Generals
sons. who was Clerk Of the Courts at the
time. He showed me around the premises;
Spoke of the distinguished company, and the
abundant supplies from London, and withal
gave spleasing account of their many dancing
parties wherein the Col. ofiicated as chief
musician. Col. Black .acidling at BaH In
short, he told me all about it. Among other
things, he showed me a letter he received
when absent from home, dated City Of Goulds-
boro. Oct IS, 1910. wherein is reported the
arrival Of Ship Maria from London, laden
with supplies for the city OF Gouldsboro. Col.
Black came out from London when thirteen
years Of age; was a clerk for Gen. Cobb, and
eourted, and married Maria the
Generals daughter. Years after be removed
to Ellsworth. where he died In Nov 1888.
He was good man, and surrounded with
admirers Is long as he lived.

would not write out history Of Gouldsboro.
