WILD ANIMALS - The wolf has been very common and noxious in the new settlements. A bounty of 20 dollars is paid for its head. The bear has been one of the most troublesome animals of our forests. In the months of August and September, he makes great havoc in the fields of indian corn in the new settlements. There is the wolverine and wild cat, and the other animals common to New England.

MILITARY STRENGTH - The militia of New Hampshire is composed of every able bodied, white male citizen resident therein, between the ages of 18 and 45 years, except those exempted by law, among whom are persons exempted on the ground of religious scruples relating to war.

1629 - Some of the planters who were scattered over Massachusetts, wishing to settle the neighborhood of the Piscataqua, using the example of those at Plymouth, who had purchased their lands from the Indians (as they conscientiously thought necessary to give them just title), procured a general assembly of the Indians at Swamscot Falls (now Exeter) where a deed was obtained from four Sycamore Indians.

1631 - The plantation of New Hampshire was divided into two parts with Capt. Thomas WIGGIN appointed agent for the upper and Capt. Walter NEAL for the lower. A house this year was erected at Strawberry Bank, called the Great House.

1638 - The year of the great earthquake - June 2nd. Its approach was announced by a low rumbling noise, similar to that of distant thunder. Its passage was from the northward to the eastward. As the sound increased, the earth began to shake so violently as to drive people from the houses, nor could they stand without supporting themselves by posts and fences. About half an hour after this, another shock commenced, was not so violent as the first, which was felt even a great distance at sea.-

1641 - All the New Hampshire settlements by a voluntary act submitted to Massachusetts and were comprehended in the county of Norfolk, which extended from the Merrimack to the Piscataqua. This union lasted many years.

1675 - In September of this year the Indians made their first predatory incursion against New Hampshire. They attacked the plantations on Riscataqua river, now constituting Durham, and here killed two men. The hositility continued till the year 1678, when a treaty was made with Squando and other chiefs at Durham.

1713 - Peace was now made between the colonies and the Indians, ratified on the 15th of July. Queen Anne died and George 1st was crowned. During the Indian hostilities, which were called King Phillips's War, and which continued from 1675 to 1714, Massachusetts and New hampshire lost 6000 young men and male children, including the killed and those who were made captive, without ever being recovered.

1717 - The greatest snow ever known in New England fell in the latter part of April of this year. It was so deep, that people were obliged to walk from their chamber windows. It was said to be eight feet on a level, and has ever since been called the great snow.

1722 - A declaration of war against all the hostile tribes of Indians was published at Portsmouth and Boston, and a bounty of 100 pounds was offered for every Indian scalp. This, which was called Lovell's war, was bloody and distressing, and continued until Dec. 15, 1725, at which time articles of peace were signed at Falmouth.

1727 - In these peaceful times, more violent earthquakes commenced on the 29th of October.

The throat swelled, white or ash colored specks appeared in the feces, and an efflorescence on the skin, accompanied by a general debility and a strong tendency to putridity. Many people died from this ailment. In the province of New Hampshire alone, which had only fifteen towns, it carried off 1000 people, of whom 900 were children under the age of 21.

1745-1755 - More war with the French and more earthquakes.

1760 - This year New Hampshire raised 800 men and placed them under the command of Col. John GOFF. This regiment marched to Montreal, where they were reinforced by Col. HAVILAND. With this year the war ended, and George 3rd was now proclaimed King of England.

1761 - About 60 townships were laid out during this and the last year, some on the east and some on the west side of the Connecticut river. This year and the year after were remarkable for severe droughts.

New Boston, in Hillsborough county, was incorporated in 1763, and contained by the last census, a population of 1,810 souls. It is bounded N. by Weare, E. by Goffstown and Bedford, S. by Amherst and Mount-Vernon, and W. by Lyndeborough, comprising an area of 26,538 acres.

Several branches of Piscataquog river flow through its SW extremity into Goffstown, and thro' its SE part the 2d NH turnpike has its course.
