there was good deal of bad blood be

our history of that affair.
The pine woods, where Thompson
men secured themselves, were on the bacl
side of Munjoy hill between the Crane
Trunk and Tukey's bridge.
The sacking of Coulson's houte OF

of the indignation felt against that opeI

When A braham Lincoln was informed
that Gen. Grant drank, he requested the
informer to find out where he got his

kind for his other generals.
OF the leaders in these events, Col.
Thompson led the Spruce company
from Brunswick to capture the Canceau

John Merrill with two sentinels captured

THE THOMPSON WAR.
Sketches of Prominent Local Patriots
in the Revolution.
Captain Samuel Dunn's Company of Cape
Elizabeth Men Mowatt's Capture.

Captain Samuel Dunn's Company of Cape
Elizabeth Men Mowatt's Capture.
Capt Samuel Dunn's company, OF
Cape Elizab beth, belonged to Col. Ed
mund Phinney's 31st, Regt. of Foot, the
first regiment raised in this county,
This regiment served until Decen beI
1775, but do not think any companygot
as far as Boston until July of that year.
Some companies were ordered to Boston
soon after the battle of Lexington, but
were ordered back, and were credited
with five days services, as they had pro-
ceeded but a short distance.
This roll covers the period of Thomp-
sons war in May, when Capt. Mowat
was captured by Col. Thompson S
spruce company"of Brunswick, released
by the citizens of Falmouth Neck, and
the sacking of Coulson's house by the
GorhHm and Wlndham soldiers. The
battle of Bunker Hill was fought during
the service represented by this company
roll, which was April "a, to July II,
1775. In this battle this county had no
troops, and Col. Scamman's York County
Kegt obeyed orders, aid did nothing, so
Maine got no honors in that battle.
Capt Dunns' company was no doubt
here during "Thompson's war;" but
little is preserved about their move
ments.
The people Of Falmouth Neck, in the
early part of IT'S, had not risen to the
spirit of the times. They had been iufi u
enced too much by the doleful forebodine
of the tory and property interests of the
town, and needed some exciting events
to wake them up to the situation, Sc
that the patriots would take matters
into their own hands. They lost much
valuable time. for if they had had the
spirit of those brave men of Machias,
who armed with guns, scythes. pitch forks,
etc. captured the Margaretta. we would
have had the Lexington of the seasn in
our harhor. The yeomanry here needed
an O'Brien and Foster to inspire and lead
them, and whether an attempt to capture
it would have been a brilliant fact in
our history. Five months later they
were determined people, and refused to
sacridce their principles to save the
town. They should have sustained Coils
Thompson and Phinney in their attempt
to capture the Canceau. rid the town OF
Mowat, and perhaps have prevented the
burning by him in October.
Willis says, that there was about six
hundred militia in town the day alter
the capture of Mowat. and that they
were exceedingly exasperated that he
had been discharged and seemed deter
mined to destroy mis- ship.
The following extract from a letter
written here May IS, 1875 shows the
spirit ana determination of the militia
to rid our town of Mowat

JEDEDIAH PRERLE,
ENOCH FREEMAN"
The following sketches of the leaders
in the Thompson war" and the officers
Of this company, will give the reader
who led off in that event at Falmouth
in May IT'S.
| Samuel Thompson was born March %,
1875, and was the son of James Thomp-
son who was born in Kittery in 1907 and
went from Biddeford to Brunswick. His
grandfather, James, came from ireland
to York, Maine.
Gen Thompson was a Jealous patriot,
and resided at Brunswick until after the
Revolution, then moved to Topsham,
living there until his death. He was a
self made man and graduated from the
college of experiences; was Jealous
Wing, outsboken in his manner and made
bitter enemies among the Tories and
their sympathizers. He was portly, not
of tall stature, but somewhat corpulent;
was remarkable for his firmness of opin-
ion and ready wit, and was fiery speak
er. Williamson said of him, that he was
! bold and courageous, but not cool enough
| for a leader.
| His religious belief was that the
wicked would finally be saved, but they
must be punished by literal hell-fire
for their sins, with some belief in fore
ordination, and it is said that this belle
caused him considerable uneasiness in
his last days.
That Gen. Thompson had the conf
dence of majority of the citizens of his
town there is no doubt, and ne was GER
tainly leader among them. He was Sc
lectman in 1858, 1770-1; memb Der of the
Provincial Congress; about 1874 he was
chosen Lieutenant Colonel of the militia,
then Colonel; February 8. 1776 he was
chosen by the Massachusetts, General
Court, Brigadier General of Cum berland
County troops, being at the same time
the head of the Committee of Safety for
the district; Representative to the Gen.
eral Court in 1776, 177s and then served
twelve terms; Senator to the General
Court in 17s7 and delegate to the con-
vention in 1888 for ratifying the consti-
tuition which he opposed, objectins TO a
standing army, and the existence of
slavery.
| While memb Der of the General Court
the following story is told about him.
! He had occasion to cross toll-bridge Mt
Boston and the tol-man demanded toll,
not knowing him, when Gen. Thompson
Strengthening up said, II belong to the
House sir" "Belons to the housed" 81
should think you belonged to the barn, y
was the reply of the toll-man. He was
| from Maine, and probably had rustic
appearance to this man of Boston.
| He died at Topsham, was about sixty
years of age, and his estate was inven-
| toried at over thirty-five thousand dollar.

The Isush Lima Bean.

The bush lima bean grew rapidly in
favor last year with those who tried it
because Of its ability to withstand
drought, yielding good crops where 9TH
ers failed to be profitable. 1t is quite as
prolific per acre as the large lima be-
cause it can be planted much closer, and
less expensive to grow because it needs
no poles. Thus far it has proved free
from rust, which SO often reduces the
market value of the horticultural and
other shell beans, and for family use it
is unsurpassed by any, excepting the
large lima. Although it looks small,
there are not any, if many, varieties that
will yield bushel to smaller number
of hills, or quart of shelled beans to a
smaller basket of pods. In our expert
ence we consider it decided aoquisi-
tion, both to thu family garden and the
market gardener. American Cultiva-
tor.
