If the Broughton dam was of a height much higher than flood-tide, it is evident that its effect would be to damnify a fresh-water meadow. If so, it is also evident that the power thus created was great and the privilege valuable. It was across the Aberjona, just below the Symmes' meadows, that the massive stone aqueduct of the Middlesex canal was built in 1828. There, on February 15, 1855, an ice-jam was formed by a sudden thaw, and these same meadows were soon several feet under water, the railroad bridge at Wedgemere wrecked, and Main street, in Winchester, at the railroad crossing, fourteen inches submerged, and boats rowed thereon. In 1861 the aqueduct was removed, and in 1865 the Symmes' meadows disappeared altogether at the building of the Mystic dam.

M. through Charlestown—distance 5 miles—fare 371 cents. Proprietor, Joseph Wyman, jr. Medford. After this we do not find the stage thus designated, though Mr. Wyman, without doubt, transported the mail. The Post Office at that time was in Porter's store, and William Rogers was postmaster from 1818 to 1828. Occasional changes in time were made, and No. 12, issued May 1, 1827, is as follows in regard to our local stage:— Medford and Boston Stage, at 1/2 past 7 A. M. and 2 P. M.— leaves Wildes', No. 11 Elm street, Boston, every day, except Sunday, at 12 M. and 1/2 past 5 P. M.—through Charlestown—distance 5 miles—Proprietor, Joseph Wyman, Jr. Our citizens were now being accommodated with two stages daily, while four other lines passed through Medford, northward.
