But to relieve the embarrassments of the moment it was powerless. Again on the twenty-second of October, Washington, to guide his native state towards union, poured out his heart to his early friend George Mason: Our present distresses are so great and complicated, that it is scarcely within the powers of description to give an adequate idea of them. With regard to our future prospects, unless there is a material change both in our civil and military policy, it will be in vain to contend much longer. We are without money; without provision and forage, except what is taken by

He was born in Hadley, Mass., in 1689; graduated at Harvard in 1708; and was settled in Medford, where he was ordained to the ministry, in 1712, when a day of fasting and prayer was appointed, and the Church of Christ in Medford was gathered by a number of the brethren signing a covenant prepared for that purpose. In October, 1713, he was married to Miss Susan Sewell, of Salem, daughter of Stephen Sewell, and niece of Judge Samuel Sewell. Judge Sewell's entry in his diary, under date of October 22, is interesting: I go to Salem; see Mr. Noyes marry Mr. Aaron Porter and Miss Susan Sewell at my brother's. Was a pretty deal of company present. After naming the more distinguished among the elders, he says: Many young 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.

f its first school. On Aug. 17, 1722, it was voted to have a Scool keept, and Thomas Tufts, Esq., Capt. Ebenezer Brooks, and Mr. John Bradshaw were chosen a committee to provide a teacher, and at the adjourned meeting October 15 this same committee was empowered to agree with some person or persons for a sutable Room or rooms for ye said scoole to be kept in and make report to ye town of their Doings att ye next adjournment. There is no record of the adjourned meeting, which was set for October 22, and the next town meeting held December 14 had nothing about schools. But if the town had possessed a house of its own at this time it would not be likely to hire a place or places for the school to be kept in. Likewise in December, 1726, we find the town voted to have a Writting School for three months and the committee were instructed to Hire a School House for the time above said. And again, Nov. 25. 1728, the committee were chosen to select a teacher and appoint a place. The same v

ed and the parish organization completed. At the same time the Rev. David Greene Haskins, of Roxbury, was chosen rector. On the second of July the church record reads: Holy communion was first time administered in Medford, and on the twenty-second of October the rite of confirmation was first administered, eight persons receiving the imposition of hands. On the first of September, 1849, a committee was appointed to consider and report upon the best site for a church edifice, and on the fs beside an additional expense of $100 connected with the work of raising. On the eleventh of June, 1882, the corner stone of a Parish House was laid. This building, which is of stone, was completed and used for the first time on the twenty-second of October. It contains a chapel for Sunday-school and week day services, choir library and vestry room, and on the floor below a room which was for a time used for a day school but has recently been rearranged to serve as a room for social gather

ty-seven years from the launching of the last Medford ship (the Pilgrim, by Captain J. T. Foster. See Regis-Ter, Vol. XVI, p. 71), it is evident that the sight must have been a novel one and of interest to Somerville and Medford people. To the comparatively few of the latter who recall memories and legends of the old busy days along the Mystic, and to those who have watched, from the car windows in passing, the slow progress of its building it was especially so. From the Boston Post of October 22, we quote: The history of the new vessel notes many obstacles placed in the way of completion which threatened at many times to leave nothing but an abandoned hulk on the banks of the Mystic to show for this attempt to again make the Mystic a center for ship-building. The war paved the way for the opening of contracts, which led to the building of the schooner, and the war in turn placed the obstacles in its way, which all but led to the abandonment of the project. . . .

in October next. The file of the Centinel consulted is incomplete, but from another source we learn that he was convicted on October 9. The Centinel, October 20, said, The sentence of Michael Martin, convicted of highway robbery has not been passed upon him. His counsel have moved an arrest of judgment for misdirection of court matters of law and the court has assigned a future day for hearing arguments on the motion It seems that the future day was not long deferred, for on October 22β€” the Chief-justice after a most dignified and pathetic address to him pronounced the awful sentence of the law. There must have been much excitement over the case, as this was the first sentence under the law before alluded to. His counsel made every effort in his power, but to no purpose. The Centinel of December 5 said, No doubt that Martin would be executed. But with the fatal day drawing near, Mike Martin undertook to do something for himself. On the morning of the ei

a history of its own, though somewhat interlocked with another that preceded it twentyfour years before, and whose centennial in 1923, if observed, must be by Mystic Church, because of the union of the older with the younger church in 1874. And Mystic Church made a good beginning this year toward that event. On Friday evening, October 20, an illustrated lecture by the pastor showed the Pilgrims from old England and the Puritans of New England, the founders of Congregationalism. Sunday, October 22, its announcement styled Historical Day. The usual form of Sabbath worship was observed, and the pastor, Rev. Thomas C. Richards, took for text of his anniversary address Heb. XI: 40: Better things for us, that they without us should not be made perfect. He seemed to have studied Medford history as well as local church history, for he told of the political situation and industrial improvements and inventions of that day. We quote a few extracts:β€” Medford was an overgrown country
