out a road between Medford, Stoneham, and Reading, through the woods; also to see if a road from the meeting-house to Joseph Wyman's was feasible. Purchase Street was opened many years after, according to this suggestion. Sept. 13, 1802: The Court of Sessions direct, that the road from Jonathan Brooks's Corner to West Cambridge shall be widened, Medford and Charlestown paying for the lands taken. Labor of a man on the highways, one dollar for eight hours; and two dollars for a team. In 1819, one dollar and twenty-five cents, and two dollars and fifty cents. May 7, 1804: The town chose a Committee to stake out the private ways in the town. The intention of the town doubtless was, that those avenues, paths, or range-ways, through which the public have a right of way, should be marked out and recorded. It is very important that these rights should be preserved, and as important that they should not be unjustly claimed. Settling near a river gave superior facilities for transp

I would close this account of the civil history of Medford with a biographical notice of our most distinguished civilian; and, lest the bias of a life-long veneration, or the pride of near blood relationship, should tempt me to eulogies beyond desert, I have judged it most proper to take the account given by Dr. John Dixwell, of Boston, Vice-P

expanded, and thus modified, his former faith. On the evening of that day when he had taken a most decisive stand in the stormy debates which arose in the council, before the ordination of the Rev. Mr. Wisner over the Old South Church in Boston (1819), he proposed to me the following easy question: Why will Mr. Wisner's creed be like a lighted candle? Answer.--The longer it lives, the shorter it will be. Dr. Osgood might have taken as his motto, Liceat concedere veris. His catholicism was prified, yea, risen again, with all the power he possessed. To state exactly the latitude and longitude of his theological opinions is perhaps impossible. The nearest approach to any exactness may be found in a conversation he had with a friend in 1819. He asked, low far is it from here to Andover Institution? and was answered, About seventeen miles. How far is it from here to the Cambridge Theological Institution? About four miles. Well, said he, I have been thinking that is just about my

ate of first dividend), to fourteen hundred and fifty-five dollars and twenty-five cents on each share; making the whole cost of the canal eleven hundred and sixty-four thousand two hundred dollars. There have been paid in dividends, from the year 1819 to the present year (1843), five hundred and four dollars on each share (averaging $20.16 per annum); an interest on the cost of about one and thirty-nine one-hundredths of one per cent per annum. From the year 1819 to the time the Lowell Railroa1819 to the time the Lowell Railroad went into operation, the receipts regularly increased, so that the dividends arose from ten to thirty dollars per share; and no doubt, in a few years, without competition, they would have given a handsome interest on the original cost. The year that road went into full operation, the receipts of the canal were reduced one-third: when the Nashua and Lowell Road went into operation, they were reduced another third. Those of the last year and the present will not be sufficient to cover the expe
