aptain Bradbury. He was buried in the Salem-street burying-place (the tomb being of later date), and a stone bears the following inscription:— Erected in memory of Captain Wymond Bradbury who departed this life Feb. 18, 1810, ae 73. Behold fond man! See here thy pictur'd life; pass some few years; Thy flowing spring, thy summer's ardent strength, Thy sober autumn fading into age, And pale concluding winter comes at last And shuts the scene. Just west of his tomb is that of Hezekiah Blanchard, a descendant of the family that had lived in the house previous to the time of its coming into the possession of Captain Bradbury, and while in another part of this burial place lie other Blanchards, descendants also of the earlier proprietor. Captain Bradbury's will was signed April 7, 1800. His personal estate, according to the inventory, amounted to $1,977.05; his real estate to $5,866.67, a total of $7,843.72. The personal estate consisted of furniture, cattle, horses, swine,

High tides at Medford. Under the head of Distillation, Mr. Brooks mentioned one Blanchard, whose first plant was east of the bridge. There rose a tide so high as to overflow all his vats with salt water. This ruined him, as entirely as it did his rum. He added, With courage he kept his spirits up, etc. Times have changed—some keep courage up with spirits—still the tides ebb and flow, and occasionally run very high. In 1851, at the destruction of Minot's Light, Medford Square was flooded, and transit was had in boats, but the square has been raised since. Stories are told of numerous boulders then rolled upon the canal aqueduct to weight it down. No tide, since, equalled it, not even in the Portland storm. On December 26 last, after a raging storm, the tide rose almost as high as in '51, flooding the wharves and rising on old Ship street. The new dam proved its usefulness and stability. The upper Mystic remained at its normal height, and perils by flood, such as Chels

These are taken at random from the various almanacs above mentioned. As the Blanchards were tavern-keepers for fifty years, and their house was the house par excellence, that name appears for many years. Strangely enough, sometimes the distance of this tavern from Boston is given as four miles and sometimes five. A gentleman eighty-five years of age, living in Medford, describes most interestinglhe minister who performed the ceremony. Esther (Blanchard) Wyman was the daughter of Hezekiah Blanchard, Jr., of tavern fame, and his first wife, Esther Tufts. She was born July 4, 1792, in a fam
