An InteresMsg Ikateh of the PitiimFamily by On* of Onr Citizens Who Is

dpendinKthe Winter In New Hampshire.

The obituary notice of the late GeorgeW. Putnam in The Republican of Jan-uary 16th, contained the personal historyand characteristics of that noble citisenand friend, but made no mention of hisancestry, which in some respects was wide-ly noted in New England. In 1634 JohnPutnam settled in Salem, Mass., comingfrom Buckinghamshire, England, at theage of 55 years. His son Nathaniel diedin 1700, leaving several children, among#hom ■ Benjamin, whose son Nathanieldied in 1754. This brings the recorddown to the Revolution, and NathanielPutnam's son Jacob, born in 1711, was thefirst permanent settler in the present townof Wilton, N. H., the records showingthat he moved his family there fromMassachusetts in 1739. He saw service inthe Revolution under General Stark, anddied in 1781. His son Jacob was born in1747 and died iri 1821. He had severalchildren, one son, also named J acob, wasborn in 1771, moved to Andover, Vt.,where he was married to a Wilton girl,Mary Burton, in 1796. He afterwardsmoved to Manchester, Vt., then to Pawlet,Vt., and finally to Westfield, N. Y. Hehad fourteen children, of whom GeorgeWashington was the youngest. Onebrother, John, born in 1813, died in West-field since the death of his father Jacob

The effort on the part of the local fish-ermen to procure the repeal of the lawpermitting the spearing of muscallooge inUhautauqua Lake daring the wintermonths, Has resulted in a mammoth peti-tion containing the signatures of approxi-mately 2,000 people, many of whom areproperty owners on the lake. This peti-tion will be presented to the AssemblymanJ. Samuel Fowler, and he will then decidewhether puplic sentiment demands the re-peal of the law. The other side is activeand energetic and has a counter petitionwhich is expected to have considerablewejght.

The meetings are increasing in interestand attendance. A large number weredown from Westfield Tuesday and Fridayevenings of Isst week. Services will beeach night of this week.

An Unusual Operation.

Darned to Death A peculiar operation was performed atthe W. C. A. Hospital at Jamestown,last Saturday upon the four-year-olddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Parkerof tfcis village. The operation was to tryand remedy if not cure idiocy and wassuccessful to the extent that the child isrecovering and doing well. The skullhad hardeded and did not give room forthe proper growth and expansion of thebrain. A piece of skull half an inch wideand four inches long was removed.Whether the results will meet the antici-pations of the parents can only be deter-mined by time. The operation is knownto the profession as Phelps' operation inhonor to Prof. Phelps who first performedit.—Gowanda Leader.

Jonas Peter Anderson, father of ElonAnderson, who has been working for Mrs.Samuel Mead who resides on the Prospectroad, was burned to death in his home onthe Bloomer road, three miles west ofMayville on Monday, Jan. 12. The newsdid not reach Mayville until 11 o'clockTuesday morning, owing to the isolationof the place and the deep snowdrifts.Anderson had started a fire in his houseand then left for the barn. The housecaught fire and in trying to save a bedtickthat contained $1,8<>0 in money he wasovercome by smoke, and falling to theiloor, perished in the flames. Mrs. Ander-son made her way to Mayville and toldwhat had happened. The house was en-tirely destroyed. Beside the widow, heleaves four sons, Charles, Andrew, Elonand Gust, and a married daughter whosehome is in Ohio.

The main, ia fact the only tenable, ar-guments of those opposed to winter spear-ing is the contention that the lake is de-populated, or will be depopulated of itsmuscallonge. "Spearing," say thesepeople, "simply > spells extermination."To sustain this contention some statisticshave been collected which, apart fromthe question as to whether spearing shouldor should not be stopped, are interestingin themselves, as showing what has beenaccomplished by the State fish hatchery,and the amount of muscallonge taken frOmChautauqua Lake: The table is as fol-lows:

Friday evening last, as Frank Green ofthe Lake Road was bringing a party inMr. Ellis' bobs to church, the rig wasoverturned nearL W. Potter's and theoccapant8 found themselves on the ground.Deacon Harvey Case, one of the company,was severely stdnned and was thought tobe dead. His shoulder was hurt but notseriously. Rev. F rd, who was also oneof the number, was hurt just above the.knee, laming him to some extent. Theothers escaped without injury.

Porter £llis left his horse and surrey inthe church shed while visiting his mother,Mrs. Helen Ellis, Sunday evening.Shortly after seven o'clock, the horse wasfound to be kicking, havingbroken the thill and injured his hind foot.The cause of the accident ia unknown,the horse being of a kind and docile na-ture, and as time and place were unusu-ally quiet, there is no accounting for hisactions.

Frank W. Cheney, who has given thesubject careful thought and study, saysthe numberof mnscallonge taken from thelake with hook and line is rapidly declin-ing and that the season of 1902 was thepoorest since 1877-8, when the spearinglawe were repealed and the fish were givena chance to propagate. "Nets," said Mr.Cheney, "that in 1898 and 1899 caught ashigh as 85 musoallonge for the hatcherylast season, dropped down to 7 and 12 pernet. During the spearing season of 1901there was brought into the Jamestownmarkets for the first five of the fish days,an average of from 45 to 50 muscallonge,weighing from 25 to 50 pounds each.

hese fish were full of spawn, which wasof course destroved. The number of fishhouses have more than doubled since thewinter of 1899, and the catch of fish hasdecreased over one-half. The number ofmuscallonge taken in the nets has fallenoff over two-thirds since 1893.

Putnam.It will be seen that Mr. George Put-

nam's fath'er, grandfather and great grand-father were all named Jacob, and theWilton records show that thePutnan fam-ily was well represented the Revolu-tionary war, the war of 1812-15, the Mex-ican war and the civil war.. A rapid ex-amination of the records in Wilton andother towns in Hillsborough County showsthe names of 268 persons of this Putnamfamily recorded. The first Putnam tosettle in Wilton was Jacob, as statedabove, bat his brother Ephriam came inthe same year, acid his daughter was thefirst white child boin in the town. Hemoved to the adjoining town, Lyndebor-ough, while she was still a babe. ThePutnam homestead is about two miles westof the village of Wilton, and there is avery old house on it, no one now beingable to say when it was built, probablyhowever between 1770 and 1790. GeorgeW. Putnam taught his first school inLyndeborough, a few miles north of theold homestead. ' N.

FurnitureKo-LlcenM Win* by Good Majorities.—ALarge Vote Was Polled.

One of the largest votes ever cast inCherry Creek was cast at the special elect-ion on the excise question on January 13.The roads were almost impassable, com-pelling many people to walk through driftswhere horses where unable to pass. Therewas cast a vote of 363, or 15 more than onibe last general election.

"From 1893 up to 1898 the nets of thefish hatchery were showing a very markedincrease in the number of two-year-oldmuscallonge. Some mornings in thespringof 1894 we used to take out from 50 to 60of this sice besides the catch of maturefish. After the first two years of spearingthe fish, both large and small rapidly de-clined."

Pow.er Turned OnThe traction company turned the

electric current on io the wires in this vil-lage Wednesday to the great discomfortof the local telephone service. As manyas twenty phones were disabled during theafternoon and it was dangerous to attemptto put the various lines in working orderagain, but much was accomplished in thatdirection without serious accident. Itseems as though there ought to be someunderstanding about the matter betweenthe two companies.—Ripley Review.

G Hewes, of Lombard was in town onSaturday; he went from here toSherman.Reference to the foregoing table shows

that Mr. Cheney is correct in his conten-tion regarding the decrease in the catchin a corresponding ratio with the increaseof the number of fish houses. If alsoshows that during the four years spearinghas been allowed 57 tons of fish have beentaken from the lake, a large amount for abody of water only 22 miles in length.
