hat the proprietors might hold real estate to the value of $30,000 over the value of the canal; also to render Concord River boatable as far as Sudbury Causeway, through Billerica, Carlisle, Bedford, Concord, to Sudbury, a distance of twenty-three miles. This formed a portion of Mr. Sullivan's far-reaching plan for inland waterways, extending well into the interior of Massachusetts, and by way of the Merrimac River to Concord, New Hampshire, through Lake Sunapee to the Connecticut River, at Windsor, and thence to the St. Lawrence River. This seemed a good and practical plan, and if the railroad had been delayed ten years, would undoubtedly have been realized; and further to extend the canal from Medford to Boston, the original intention to have the eastern limit at Medford. By an act of June 25, 1798, the proprietors were allowed to hold mill property. At the first meeting of the proprietors, after the choice of James Sullivan as moderator, and Samuel Swan as clerk, the following

tly states the correct conclusion that Watertown was the first church in New England that distinctly adopted the Congregational order; that it may justly claim priority over the first church of Boston, and, since the migration from Dorchester to Windsor, is entitled to rank as the second church of Massachusetts Bay.

The Plymouth people in October sent out a small party and built a house on the Connecticut River where now is Windsor, passing up the river above an already established Dutch fort at the point where Hartford stands.

ings therein to the next Court of Sessions. Before the time expired for the town to report, in accordance with this order of the court, Mr. Woodbridge seems to have taken steps to gather an independent church and congregation, as he had done at Windsor, in defiance of Congregational usage and the laws of the province; for at a meeting of the town March 5, 1704, this charge is made against him, and it was voted that the town do declare themselves highly dissatisfied at Mr. Woodbridge's late irroung gentlemen and gentlewomen. Mr. Noyes made a speech: said, Love was the sugar to sweeten every condition in the married relation. After the sack-posset sung the forty-fifth Psalm from the eighth verse to the end, five staves.

and in that faith we would feel his new entreaties from the better land to come up higher, and that we can leave our and his church to the guidance of the Great Shepherd who doeth all things well, and that we should keep on praying that such faith may enable us, as we believe it has him, To pass through Glory's morning gate And walk in Paradise.

I could never have suspected that my quotation from the Boston Transcript would be construed to reflect upon the good people of Medford. I was emphasizing the contrast between the good old times of that period, and the sober new times of today when distilleries are made into garages. The above was accompanied by the more than column article, from which this rum, lemon and sugar quotation was taken. In that article, Beverly, Danvers, Dunstable, Medford, Northampton, Pittsfield and Windsor are alluded to under the title of The Puritanic Present, and the writer thereof credited practically the whole to Bonfort's Wine and Spirit Circular. As the Vermont historian gives his quotation from the Transcript and not from Mr. Brooks, we are led to infer that he may not have read the latter. But evidently some other had, and none too carefully, and as her own peculiar product was famous, Medford got all that was coming to her. We have in years past heard people in the cars of norther

ld or fort. At that time (before the Agawam cut through its upper mouth, a century ago) an extensive shoal stretched out from the west shore and the river was fordable at low water. After crossing the river the trail westward became the Mohawk trail. And still further west, crossing the Hudson, it was the Iroquois trail. Southward from the crossing of the Connecticut another trail on the east side led round the shoulder of Longmeadow hill through Longmeadow gate, crossed the river at Windsor, and so to Hartford. This was sometimes called the Longmeadow path. In many of the towns along the way the first settlers located their meeting-houses and town centers on the Bay path. This was clearly so in Grafton, Oxford, Charlton, Sturbridge and Brimfield. And perhaps I may speak of the settlement of Sturbridge as possibly more or less typical. J. G. Holland says: It was wonderful what a powerful interest was attached to the Bay path. It was the channel through which laws
