REV. THOMAS ALLEN.
Rev. Thomas Allen was the first minis-
ter of Pittsfield. When the American
Revolution commenced, he, like the great
body of the clergy, ardently espoused the
cause of the oppressed colonies, and bore
his testimony againstithe oppression of the
mother country. When in anticipation
of the conflict which finally took place at
Bennington, the neighboring country was
roused to arms, he used his influence to
increase the band of patriots, by exciiine‘
his townsmen to proceed to the ‘battle
ground. A company was raised in his
parish and proceeded. Some causes, how-
levei-, were found to retard their progress
on the way. Hearing of the delay, he
proceeded immediately to them, by his
influence qitickened their march, and soon
presented them to Gen. Stark. Learning
from him that he meditaterl an attack on
the enemy, he said he would fight, ‘but
could not willingly bear ‘arms against
them,- until he had invited them to sub-
mit. He was insensible to fear, and ac-
cordingly proceeded‘ so near as to make
himself distinctly heard in their camp,
where, after taking a stand on a conven-
ient eminence. he commenced his pious
exhortations, urging them to lay down
their arms. He was answered by a vol-
ley ofrniiisketry, which lodged their con
tents in the log on which he stood.
Turning calmly to a friend who had fol-
lowed him under cover of the breast-
work which formed his footstool, he said,
“ Now give me a gun.”
This is said to have been the first
American‘ gun which spoke on that mem-
orable occasion. He continued to bear
h’is‘part till the battle was decided in f“-
‘v‘or ofthe American arms, and contributed
boiiolrably totliat result.

had become so violent and dangerous,
that several stout men had wrapped him
in bed-qiiilts, and secured them around
him with a clothes line’!
