By examination of the books rescued from the fire of 1836 at Washington, it appears that the first office established in Medford was in September, 1797. The first office was on the spot now occupied by the town-house. The post-masters have been as follows:-- Samuel Buel,appointedSept. 1797 William Rogers, jun.,July 21, 1813 William Rogers,Oct. 20, 1818 Luther Angier,May 17, 1828 Samuel S.

arvest of the Wilderness—soldiers' graves after the battle good many, and all the failures were not recorded upon the natural growth. In this sparsely settled region, but lately so populous, the dead occupants still outnumbered the living. The woods bordering the Orange Plank Road were thickly strewn with the mouldering bodies of Hancock's men who had furiously assailed Hill and Longstreet on that line. Here gallant old Webb, for whom taps have sounded, led his staunch brigade against Gregg's Texans and Low's Alabamans, almost up to the works, and the trefoil badges—the clover-leaves on the cap-fronts of the fallen covered the ground on the edge of the Widow Tapp's field where Lee attempted to lead the Texans' charge, and the men refused to go forward until he consented to go back. Cattle were quietly browsing the herbage in a little grass glade at this point, their pasture the aftermath of the grim harvest reaped there on that May morning long ago. To-day scarcely a trace

guise of an itinerant doctor while in the Federal lines, and called himself Dr. C. E. Coleman. In the Confederate army he was known as Captain C. E. Coleman, commander of General Bragg's private scouts. The scouts dressed as Confederate soldiers, so that in case of capture they would not be treated as spies. Nevertheless, the information they carried was usually put into cipher. Shaw was finally captured and sent to Johnson's Island. The command of the famous scouts devolved upon Alexander Gregg, who continued to sign despatches C. E. Coleman, and the Federal authorities never knew that the original leader of the daring band was in safe-keeping in Sandusky Bay. On April 7, 1864, President Davis, at Richmond, sent the New York herald headquarters in the field, 1863 The Confederate Secret Service worked through the Northern newspapers to an extent little appreciated. Without any disloyalty on the part of the newspaper men, this was necessarily the case. The North swarm

James Ford, who had a mould shop near his large house. Beyond this, Aaron Blanchard's, Mr. Wheeler's, and Calvin Turner's. Then you came to Gravelly creek wriggling its way over marshy land to the mill pond; it was crossed by a wooden bridge. Just above where the railroad crosses the street, on the left were Alexander Gregg's stables. Mr. Gregg was a prominent man in town affairs, having been a butcher, then a schoolmaster, then doing a large business teaming. He served in town offices and in the Legislature. The last house on the right, gambrel-roofed, is the old Blanchard house, now occupied by daughter and granddaughter of Mr. Gilbert Blanchard, who bought the place of Mr. Dudley Hall. Here for several years Mrs. Buckman kept a private school for boys and girls. Mr. Blanchard kept a grocery store in the brick building, cor
