The Indians also received new names from the Canadians. The Chippewas were Sauteurs; Menominees, Folles Avoines; Ottawas, Courtes Oreilles; Winnebagoes, Les Puans, and other sobriquets, indicative of the peculiarities of each tribe. The names of places which were corrupted from the English and French names of the trees which grew about them, are now hardly traceable to their original source — for Bois Blanc Island, Bob Law's Island; for Roche Percd Creek, Roosha Persia Creek; Piche‘s Grove, Specie Grove; the latter was probably just where Oswego is now situated. The frontier houses consisted generally of one room. When strangers came, who were rarely refused such hospitality as the people had to offer, a rope was stretched across from one wall to another, and whatever of clothing was removed before lying down, was thrown across this extemporized partition. All the family, of both sexes, occupied the same room. The frontier girls had few of the adventitious aids to modes

s to cross the river with one brigade at Jasper Crossing, and one at Battle Creek; other part of the command to follow as soon as the way is opened. Colonel Buell's brigade.--One division marched at dark to Shellmound, where he crossed the river in flats during the night. September 3.--General Wood with his other brigade (Hooker's) moved down early this morning to Shellmound, and was across the river by eight P. M., having been delayed till two P. M. by General Reynolds's train. Colonel Grove and his brigade (Palmer's division) moved down early this morning to Battle Creek, but were unable to secure the ferry, being used all day by General Brannan's division. General Graft and his brigade, Palmer's division, was therefore ordered to Shellmound, and he following close on General Wood, succeeded in crossing his command by four A. M. on Monday. General Van Cleve, with his two brigades, arrived at Jasper, and went into camp to await the crossing. Received from the General Co

narrow levee, and such steamboats as remained abreast of our camps. My two divisions furnished alternately a detail of five hundred men a day, to work on the canal. So high was the water in the beginning of March, that McClernand's corps was moved to higher ground, at Milliken's Bend, but I remained at Young's plantation, laid off a due proportion of the levee for each subdivision of my command, and assigned other parts to such steamboats as lay at the levee. My own headquarters were in Mrs. Grove's house, which had the water all around it, and could only be reached by a plank-walk from the levee, built on posts. General Frederick Steele commanded the first division, and General D. Stuart the second; this latter division had been reenforced by General Hugh Ewing's brigade, which had arrived from West Virginia. At the time of its date I received the following note from General Grant: Milliken's Bend, March 16, 1863 General Sherman. dear sir: I have just returned from a

onfessors than to have had a coronet or garter in the line of my ancestry. I look forward with joy to the approaching happy day, when that glorious list of heroes will shine with distinguished honours, and mount up to thrones of power, while their titled and enribboned persecutors will sink into shame, and be glad to hide their faces in the deepest obscurity. After having gone through the usual preparatory studies in the academy at Taunton, under the direction of the Rev. Messrs. James and Grove, to whom the dissenters of that day, in the West of England especially, were indebted for many of their most eminent and distinguished ministers, he was invited, in 1722, to settle with a congregation at Moreton-Hampstead, in the county of Devon. In early life his habit appeared consumptive, and his friends anticipated that his mortal course would be but of short duration: but by a strict attention to diet and exercise, and the uniform regularity of his life, he so far strengthened his cons

market-place, and though nearby were several rum distilleries, the pump in the square supplied man and beast with nature's own beverage, and was the starting point of three principal roads of the baker's dozen the selectmen named. The first was from the town pump, west to Charlestown line, High street; second, east to Malden line, Salem; and third, south to foot of Winter hill, Main. Three streets branched to the right from High street to Woburn line. Purchase (now Winthrop), Woburn and Grove. Today only the three Hall houses below Governors avenue, the Unitarian parsonage, and the old Magoun cottage opposite remain of those standing in 1829. The present Winthrop square was then called Turell's corner. A new road had then been recently proposed which would have crossed the Playstead and Brooks estate, and also the Aberjona river, to the West Cambridge road, but instead, another was partially bought, hence its name. It made a more direct and level route to Upper Medford, and

the property lying south of High street, including the house which he occupied. Caleb Brooks died in Medford in 1696. His real estate was divided between his two sons. Ebenezer, the eldest, and the grandfather of Governor John Brooks, received, as nearly as can be determined, that part lying south of High street including his father's house, part of the land on the east side of Grove street, from Symmes corner as far south as Slow pond, now Brooks pond, and the land west of this between Grove street and the upper Mystic pond. On the death of Ebenezer in 1743, his four sons inherited his real estate. They and their descendants held the property until about the time of the Revolution, when they sold all their Medford possessions and moved away. The house occupied by Ebenezer later fell to Samuel and Caleb, respectively, grandson and great-grandson of Caleb, the original settler. According to the Brooks records this house on the south side of High street stood until 1812. Th
