About noon a merchant from Norwich with a heavy load in his wagon tried to drive his horse up this hill, but after several fruitless efforts the animal gave up the attempt and fell in the middle of the hill Several men lent their assistance and the horse was unhitcl1ed. The merchant was obliged to take a different route to get to his destination.
