top turned back, they looked very showy. Nothing appears in these papers of petty spite being shown them in Medford, though Mr. Swan writes that Mr. Welch was not as popular here as was his wife, as he had not her affability. In 1812 they removed to Philadelphia, having sold the Royall place to Royal Makepeace of Cambridge. There they lived for many years, though during the war with England, according to Mr. Swan, he sold flour of a counterfeit brand and had to leave the country (about 1814). This may not have been entirely the reason. His only son, their idol, the little cherub of the Tontine building, had married a Miss Hunt, a farmer's daughter.

In 1830 our stage, this time again called a mail stage, (though the name depended upon the almanac consulted,) started from S. Wildes', Elm street, every day except Sunday. In 1845 Medford had four omnibus trips each day, and in 1846, six, according to The Boston Almanac. It would be pleasant to know who were the passengers by the stage-coach in the e
