LINNEY ON THE SILVER CUES

Hon. R. z. Linney, Congressman
elect from this the Eighth district,
made us a pleasant call last week, and
after endorsing the course of the PopU-
list, giving US much encouragement to
continue the publication of the paper
as an important factor in the great
fight for liberty, and good government,
which is to come off in 1896, the con
versation turned upon the question OF
all questions, now before the people OF
America, which is the question of
finance, and from a Populist stand
point we regard the position now occu-
pied by Mr.. Linney on silver, as safe,
sound and will voice the sentiments of
every tPopulist in the State, or even
the SOUTH. He has not varied from his
position when Intercepted by the

these can be obtained quite cheaply as

HORSE MEADOW.
Tradition gives this probable
origin for the name Horse Mead
ow. In this year two soldiers OF
the British army, retained IN
Canada after peace was restored,
escaped and made their way down
the Connecticut, and almost fam
ishing with hunger, shot a horse
upon the plain, supposing it to
be astray, and partook of the
flesh, but were soon gladdened by
the discovery of friendly settle
ments on the OK Bow.
At this time there were no
roads in any direction, and their
bread stuffs were brought from
Charlestown in boats.

extended from Lancaster, N. H.,
to Northfield, Mass. They be-
gan to appear the latter part of
July and continued their ravages
until September. The inhabi-
tants denominated them the
Northern Army" as they SEEM
ed to advance from the north and
pass east and north.
Rev. DR.. Asa Burton of Thet-
ford reported that he had seen
whole pastures so covered that
he could not put his finger in
single spot without placing it
upon worm. They were unlike
anything which the present gen.
GRAFTON have ever seen. There
was a stripe upon the back like
black velvet, on either side a yell
low stripe, from end to end, and
the rest of the body was brown.
They were sometimes seen not
larger than a pin, but in their ma
turity were as long as a mans fin
ger, and proportionate1y large.
They filled the houses of the in
habitants, and entered their
kneading troughs as did the frogs
In Egypt. They did not take
hold of the pumpkin vine, peas,
potatoes or flax, but wheat and
corn disappeared before them as
if by magic.
There were fields of corn on the
meadows so thick and tall that it |
was difficult to see a man in the
field more than a rod from the
outermost row, but in ten days
from the first appearing of the
Northern Army nothing remain !
ed of this corn but the bare stalks.
Every expedient was resorted to
by the inhabitants to protect
their fields of corn, but all in
vain. In the first place they dug
trenches around their fields a foot
and half deep hoping this might
prove a defence, but they soon
filled the trenches and the mill
ions that were in the rear, went
over the back of their fellows, in
the ditch and soon took posses
sion. Necessity is the mother of
invention" and at length they
adopted another expedient that
was partially successful. They
took round and smooth sapling
sticks, six or eight inches in di-
ameter, and six or eight feet in
length, sharpened one end to
point and with these made holes
in the bottom of the ditch by
describing a circle with the upper

JACOB KENT, Town Clerk.

JACOB KENT, Town Clerk.
This rather indefinite some
zvhere was afterwards located at
Hollis, n. H., where Rev. Peter
Powers preached his own install
lation sermon. Mr.. Powers lived
between the present residence OF
Dea. Sidney Johnson and the
house of Gen. Bailey, a short dis
tance south, where he preached
until the first log church was
erected.
These were the good old times
when everybody attended church,
even females coming on foot as
far as from Ryegate on the north,
a distance of ten miles, and Brad
ford on the south, sometimes
carrying an infant child in their
arms, the men usually going bare
footed until near the church.
THE QUAKER PREACHER.
Mr.. Powers ministrations were
sometimes interrupted by the be-
fore mentioned Quaker preacher,
Samuel Sleeper, by such express
sive comments as "Thee lies
friend Peterl" At other times he
would vociferate, False doc
trines! False doctrines" And
again, "Glorious truths, Clio

proving in vain, this exponent of

solitary reflection, in a cellar on
Mush Quash Meadow.
WHOLESOME DISCIPLINE.
But a disciple of Sleeper soon
appeared in the person of Benoni
Wright, professed prophet of
the Lord, with leather lungs and
Pefferian beard. The elders took
him to the meadow near his in
carcerated master, held court,
tried, convicted and doomed him
to receive ''ten 1ashes we'll laid
on" and the sentence was then
and there executed. These
prophets then concluded to sacri-
flee their consciences to the shrine
of their bodies, and order was re-
stored.

of Gen. Jacob Bailey, the prime
factor of the settlement, with his
family.
The same year came Rev. Peter
Powers of Hollis, N. H., who
here founded the second church
organized in Vermont, and es-
tablished settlement in the sis
ter towns, that subsisted twenty
years.
1t was voted that Jacob Bailey,
