une 2, 1641, it was agreed, that Mr. Mahew shall enjoy the 150 acres of land on the south side of Charles River, by Watertown wear. Thirty years later, as the wears were in danger of being purchased by Indians, the Town voted to purchase them, and they were then annually rented at the highest price that could be obtained. They were the subject of many altercations and law suits. Of late, says Bond (in 1860), the profits of the Fishery have been divided between the towns of Watertown and Brighton, seven-tenths to the former and three-tenths to the latter. Owing to the impurities discharged into the river from the gas works, dye houses, and other factories, the fish finally stopped coming up the river, and the last three amounts reported by the Town Treasurer of Watertown as income received from the Fishery are:—for 1856, $161; for 1858, $74.25, and for 1860, $35. Since which time the wears do not appear to have been used. On account of the much sickness and mortality that prevai

Here, extending on Trapelo Street about three-eighths of a mile, rises Mackerel Hill, from the sides and summit of which to the south and east fine views may be had of Newton and Brighton, Boston and Roxbury, with the Blue Hills of Milton in the distance, and portions of Needham, Dedham, Natick, Weston, and other towns. On its western slope is a dense pine grove, through which the sun but faintly penetrates, whose soft carpet inor many years Main Street was the great thoroughfare over which passed the supplies and manufactures sent in from the northern and western sections of New England to Boston. Large droves of cattle stopped here on their way to Monday's market at Brighton. Large teams transported several hundred thousand chairs annually to the city. It was not until after the opening of the West Boston Bridge to Cambridge and the Mill-Dam Road, and the establishment of Railroads, that this stream of travel was

reports were signed by Benjamin H. Sampson, chief engineer. It has been the custom in road building when a stream crossed the road to have the grade such that cattle could be watered there and teams driven through. These natural watering places are frequently seen in the country, and Medford had a number in her territory. When we remember that the amount of travel through here for many years was very great, and that large droves of cattle passed through to and from the cattle yards at Brighton, Watertown and Willow Bridge, we can realize the benefit these water-ways were to the drovers, especially when there were crowds around the two troughs in the center of the town. One of these ways I knew well, and it was a pleasure to pass through it when driving. It was the last to disappear and gave way to the march of time, perhaps fifteen years ago, when the boulevard through Valley street was laid out and changes made as it came into Forest street. It was on the westerly side of Fo
t beyond the old place, a pretty dwelling owned by W. O. Fiske. The two houses just west of the car barns were occupied about 1860 by my uncles, George W. and Henry M. Wild, who operated the slaughter house which stood at the end of a lane which ran between them. Before my remembrance Mr. George Wild removed to Danvers, but Mr. Henry Wild lived in the house afterward owned by Mr. Hill for some years. The Plummer brothers succeeded to the business, and later Mr. John White removed from Brighton to the house nearest the car barns and was in the slaughtering business for many years. Between Mr. White's house and the church was the hotel or road house, which was built after 1855, as it is not shown on the town map of that date. Known under several names, it had a checkered career as regards respectability. The Roman Catholic Church, not as large as now, was known as St. Mary's. Below the church I remember only two dwellings. That of Mr. O. M. Gale, which, with its farm build
named two between Medford street and Menotomy river,—the Tufts house and that of Russell, far away on the western slope of Walnut hill. So the old mill and powder house stood in lonesomeness when the Somerville House was destroyed by fire, leaving its massive chimneys as gaunt reminders. Across the railroad track in Medford was erected the Willow bridge house, which accommodated the drovers and cattlemen who came down from the north weekly. After the departure of the cattle market to Brighton this house remained in its decadence till during last year it was torn down and a big modern garage there erected. Equally lonely was the tract beyond Quarry hill till in 1869 the Boston & Lowell railroad laid its tracks from Somerville junction to its purchased Arlington and Lexington road. A little village called West Somerville began to grow around the railway station and extend itself compactly to Cambridge line and up onto both Spring and Walnut hills. In the late sixties a little ch

Spiritualism in England. --The Brighton (Eng) Herald says that Spiritualism, instead of losing ground in England, "is flourishing and vigorous, not only among the ignorant and insane, but among men of repute, who might fairly be looked on as superior to any trickery so barefaced and wicked. At this moment there are several literary circles in London who are lending their aid to the spread of the delusion, and we could name more than one eminent man who is a decided victim to it.--Sittings are frequent in the best circles; mediums are tolerated in the highest quarters; and even the Church does not fall to add its quota to the herd of the misguided and the deluded." Among the recent converts are Lord Lyndhurst, Sir E. Bulwer Lytton, Robert Chambers, Mrs. Browning, and many other literary and scientific celebrities.
