 Time rolls its ceaseless course and brings us through many 
 olianges — sad and joyous — to the opening of another year. In 
 (he eventful and blood-stained year gone by, some of us have 
 Experienced '* partings such as press the blood from out young 
 hearts;" — some have followed " loved ones " to the house appoint- 
 ed for all tlic living ',' — some have met the foe in the stern con-^ 
 flict on the battlefield ; some have nobly shed their blood in the 
 defence of their native land. In such a year, the history of this sin- 
 pie town alone would be the history of the nation ; would fill pon- 
 derous volumes with events, romantic, tragical and momentous. 
 Such history cannot' be written ; it lives however, in our 
 memories, whos6 deep cells a '' single word " may sometimes 
 perchance unlock and bring the thrilling scenes again to view. 
 
 From my Daily Record of our busy life, I have theref^:re 
 selected some ♦' vestigia rerum," which .; together with the 
 names of our patriotic soldiers, who ever share our warmest 
 sympathies and the 'salutations of the New Year, I would respect- 
 fully present to the loyal and liberty-loving citizens of Exeter, 
 
 The observations in meteorology were made for the 
 Smithsonian Institution and according to its rules, at 7 a. m. and 
 2 and 9 p. m. The maximum and minimum only of the barom- 
 eter and thermometer for each month aregiven. AVhen the 
 name of a regiment is omitted. Xcw Hampshire i? under- 
 stood.
