He taught only a few years. Mrs. Susanna Rawson succeeded Mr. Wyman, and openedMr. Wyman, and opened a boarding-school for girls in the house which had been occupied by him.

The town valuation of all other property was $160,116.60. Taxes were assessed on 4,603 acres of land.

The fare was thirty-seven and a half cents for many years; but competition reduced it to twenty-five. 1808.--In the public school, an assistant teacher is provided for the first time. 1808.--Digging for hidden money, near the Rock landing, was three times repeated by (as is said) Mr. James Francis, of Medford, and Mr. James
