Mr. Dimock, bought fifteen or twenty acres of slashing that might be called improvements, and made a fine farm of 100 acres as a homestead, although owning, at times, other pieces of real estate.

For many days he had taken his ax and walked three miles to work for 50 cents per day, and board himself. Solomon's father, the Rev. S.
