on the original land grant of 400 
acres, through the days of the war of 
1812, and the stage coach up to the 
time of the civil war. In her stories 
were many anecdotes of life at the 
grist mill, in the cabinet shops, especi- 
ally in John Perry Allen’s mill for 
cutting, veneering, and life at the old 
Proctor tavern. 
Miss Sargent showed the develop- 
ment of the Library from its begin- 
ning in 1830 till it was owned by the 
town in 1871 and had 1,000 volumes. 
This library increased till at the time 
of the didication of the present build- 
ing October, 1887, there were 5,000 
volumes, which have been added to 
until the present library has 15,000 
volumes with an up-to-date card 
catalogue. 
Miss Rabardy gave many pictures 
from the lives of Captains Lull, 
Crowell, Douglass, Allen, Leach and 
Carter. Many of the captains traded 
with the East Indies bringing valu- 
able cargoes to New York and Bos- 
ton. This, too, was about 1861 when 
there were at least twenty captains 
who made their homes in Manchester 
and sailed directly from here or from 
Salem. Later some of them rounded 
the horn and sailed to California and 
became interested in the gold fields. 
Miss Haskell in her ‘Romance of 
Master Price’s School’ gave us the 
story of the love of Emile Lalanne, 
of Cayenne, France, for Caroline 
Andrews of Essex, revealed in an 
old, faded letter, yellowed by age, but 
still in existence to-day, It was this 
letter that concluded the paper and 
the program of the evening.
