He was a thorough separatist, and because his brethren in New England were not as radical as he was he assailed the theocracy. He did not remain long at Salem, for opposition to his views compelled him to go to Plymouth, where for two years he was assistant to the pastor, Ralph Smith. There he formed the acquaintance of leading chiefs of the tribes around him, and gained a knowledge of their language. Returning to Salem, he became pastor of the church there, and promulgated his theological views so boldly that in the autumn of 1635 the General Court of Massachusetts ordered him to quit the colony in six months. His immediate offence was his calling in question the authority of magistrates in two things— namely, relating to the right of the King to grant the land of

The road was single tracked; engine, built at Lowell, weighed about eleven tons and was without a cab; cars to correspond; small, stuffy depots, and earned a good dividend for the stockholders.

The low-pressure boiler (condensing the exhaust steam) was fourteen feet long, and contained the furnace in which wood was burnt, supplemented with a stream of tar injected therein. Our search among the aged people was at last rewarded. We had several interviews with one we had long known, at that time over ninety years of age and in possession of her faculties, and her testimony is entirely credible. Mrs. Harriet (Wright) Smith, Woburn. She distinctly recalled the passing of this steamboat through the deep cut of the canal just beside her father's house, and spoke particularly of the noise and smoke it made. The latter was doubtless resultant upon the tar burning fixture alluded to. Probably at our interview (in 1900) she was (in that locality) the only witness of the scene then living. Some years later it was our good fortune to find in an English work on the steam engine, an illustrated description of one Amer
