NEW HAMPSHIRE ITEMS.
Henry Il. Marsh, of Gilmanton
was in Laconia on the Goth ult.
with IL sleigh that was built in New.
buryport, Mass, in 1907. No bass.
wood in that ''cutter."
An unOccupied dwelling house,
owned by Richard Lynch, located
on Mascoma street, Lebanon, was
Damaged to the amount Of $1,000,
by fire, early Monday morning;
fully insured.
The Claremont National Bank
have declared their usual semi-an-
nual dividend of 6 per cent. paya-
bile on demand. The Cashier, John
l.. Farewell, Esq, has completed
25 years service in that institution.
Among the samples of wood
which Dea. Secomb, of Concord,
has received for Centennial display,
are the following: A root from an
elm tree in Hampton Falls, which
was set out by the grandfather Of
Hon. Meshech Weare; q limb from
an elm tree growing in front of the
house of Nathaniel Weare, father
of Meshech; a limb from an elm
tree in front of the residence Of
Meshech Weare a piece Of red oak
from a building now standing in Sea-
brook, which was erected in 1886,
and the wood is nearly as sound as
the day it was cut; a piece of but
ternut from the farm of Rev. Hum
phrey Moore, of Milford; piece of
maple from the boyhood home of
Stephen Peabody, in Milford, who
was Adjutant of Col. Reeds regi
ment at Bunker Kill, and of Stark's
at Bennington; a piece of butter.
nut from the home of Capt. Colby,
in Milford, who served in Reeds
a piece from an apple
tree in Milford, which was set out
by Asa Merrill, revolutionary sol
der at Bunker Hill.
Mr.. Cleveland, for the last
three years pastor of the Congre.
gational Church in Bath, preached
his farewell sermon on Sunday, the
Goth. Mr.. Cleveland is genial
gentleman, an earnest christian,
and an ardent worker. Has he
been we'll supported in his under
takings, he would have gained
great success. 1t must be some
what difficult to serve the Lord Of
tectually, and support family Oh
1922. 100 a month. 1t is said that Mr..
Cleveland has received about $4,000
during the last three months. His
annual salary three years ago, was
about $500; the question is, how
long will it be, at the rate of de.
crease, before the society will be
charging the pastor for the priv
ilege of preaching to them. 1t is
very unfortunate that a minister of
Mr.. CIeveland's perseverance and
ability to work should be so lily sup
ported by his parish. If Moody and
are willing to do a great
reformatory work gratuitously, they
had better come to Rehabilitation
Argus.
The WEBSTER PLow, which we
made mention of on Saturday, and
which some persons thought was
IN April joke, is still at the depot,
but will probably be sent to Phila-
lelphia tomorrow, with the rest of
;he centennial articles collected by
,mr Board of Agriculture. 1t is a
great curiosity, and well worth see.
ng. The plOw was made on Dan
eli WebMer's farm in Marshfield, in
1886 or 1887, and was made under
Mr. Websters supervision, and it is
laid a part of it by himself. 1t was
made to pillow scrub oak land, and
Peter Harvey, of Boston, says he
las seen MIR. Webster and a half
lozen farmers holding the pillow,
lrawn by six pairs of oxen. The
low was success, and the largest
me in the country. The following
