From the New Hampshire Statesman. OLD TIMES! During the revolution ary war the towns were frequently called upon to furnish soldiers, and met with no little difficulty in obeying the requisitions that were made upon them. In one town, a meeting was called especially "to see what method the inhabitants will take to make out one continental man.' In another, a committee was chosen "to hire and make up nine men for the continental service;" and, at a subsequent meeting, as they'had made up but tive of the nun. her, another committee of three were chosen, and it was enjoined upon them "to get A men at any lay" to make up the df flicien cv. One town, probably having found it difficult to Drocure soldiers, and yet being

unwilling to abandon the contest, "voted jj per a'" she woul

to carry on the war the ensuing car at an) ij priz'; if left to the guida:. rate;1 and on the books of another, whose j! judgment. But she
