hel, who had purchased the rights of Lord Clarendon, was selected for the purpose. But Sothel, on his voyage, was taken captive 1680 by the Algerines. Meantime, the temporary government of Carolina, 1679 to 1682 under Harvey, Jenkins, and Wilkinson, had been abandoned, or intrusted by the proprietaries to the Chap.

I narrowly escaped being deceived by the passage in Martin, i. 173. President Harvey, whom he (Wilkinson) relieved, &c. How could a man write so carelessly and so positively? Harvey was president but a few months; and those implicated in the late revolt were the dominant party. It is not history which is treacherous, but hasty writers, who are c

elf aggrieved in the matter, and it would seem as if some amicable arrangement might have been made, whereby the boats of the pleasure-seekers might have passed by the obstruction which had at least had the precedent of years of use— years so many that Mr. Brooks, in 1855, was unable to ascertain. The decision of the court was that no structure could be built in tidal water outside of high-water mark. A few years ago the late Dr. Hedenberg furnished the writer a photographic copy (by Wilkinson) of the dam poetry alluded to, which he had carefully preserved as a memento of the great naval exploit of which we have written, and it is here partially presented:— You've built a wooden dam, old W—d, Across the tidal stream, Why have you built the dam, old W—d, Please tell us what you mean. On each end of your dam, old W—d, You say you own the shore, The Almighty owns the water, W—d, Forever, evermore. We won't allow your dam, old W—d, To keep small craft from floating, And we

t was built into a bridge over Gravelly brook, and that the heavy cap-stone lay for a time in the department yard on Swan street. We well remember the old way-mark at the street corner, a portion painted white to receive the black letters. As we recall it, there was a lantern projected cornerwise from it over the sidewalk and lighted with gas. Mr. Wait's letter suggests a study of the view of Medford Square shown in Brooks' history. In that steel engraving (from a daguerreotype by Wilkinson) the tall stone post is clearly shown, surmounted by another (probably of iron) bearing a lantern at its top. The lantern was nearly level with the window-sills in the town hall. This picture is of itself an interesting study, a record of conditions of sixty years ago. The classic town house, that has been styled the Parthenon of Medford, is the central figure and stands at a higher elevation than now, evidenced by the steps on either side. It lacks, however, the stone bases of the colum

his descendants. By courtesy of the present occupant, the Medford Publishing Company, a view of it is given in our frontispiece. This view is reproduced from a daguerreotype taken about midway in its history, (i.e., in the early fifties), by Wilkinson, the Medford artist who was sometime housed therein. The building stands upon the site of the Royal Oak Tavern of colonial days, which stood on or very near the site of the ferme-house erected by Cradock's men in 1630. At the time of taking tvoted to business,—drugstore, apothecary-shop, pharmacy—such was the evolution, but of this some other can speak or write with certainty. On the second floor were offices of various Medford lawyers, and for many years the daguerrean rooms of Wilkinson and later Treadwell. Amos B. Morss had there his printing office and ventured on the publication of the Chronicle, and there also George W. Stetson of the Leader had his editorial sanctum. Fraternal organizations have found quarters there, an

Stealing rope. --Moses McDevitt, the keeper of a grocery on Byrd street, was arraigned before the Mayor yesterday to answer the charge of stealing rope valued at $20, from Haxall, Crenshaw&Co. On Monday night Mr. Wilkinson and other parties went to McDevitt's to search for lost iron, and while doing so discovered a pile of rope. Believing it to be the property of Messrs H, C&Co, some of the party asked McD. to take care of it until the next morning. On Tuesday, as one of the searchers was on his way from Rocketts, he saw a pile of rope on a dray, going down the street, and watching, saw where it was carried. A search warrant was then obtained, the rope found, and McDevitt arrested When the case was called yesterday, several of the witnesses testified that they believed the rope belonged to H. C.&Co., but none of them would swear positively to its identity. McDevitt proved by a man who lived with him, that he purchased old ropes and sold them again, and that he sold the rope

During the day the negro made frequent calls for water, which was supplied at proper intervals. In the afternoon, officer Page and Capt. Wilkinson were sitting in an adjacent apartment, and the negro continuing his calls, Mr. Page got up and went to his cell. As soon as the door was opened, the negro made a rush, knocked the officer down, and fled down the steps to the street. Capt. afternoon, officer Page and Capt.

as no evidence of any intention on the part of lawless persons to seize the public buildings at Washington, &c. Mr. Branch made a minority report from the same committee, concluding with a resolution that the troops be removed hence, because productive of evil. He addressed the House in support of his right to make a minority report, and moved the previous question. The motion was tabled. Adjourned. Senate.--The Nevada and Dakota Territorial bills were introduced. Mr. Wilkinson presented a memorial signed by every Republican member of the Legislature of Minnesota, favoring coercion and against compromise. He urged its reception as indicating the true sentiment of the mining and agricultural region of the North, which was for the Union peaceably, and opposed to any compromise with armed traitors. Virginia and all the Southern States are arming for war. Mr. W. was opposed to any compromise under such circumstances. Mr. Rice, of Minn., presented a memorial

Fighting in Market. --Captain Wilkinson, at an early hour yesterday morning, arrested a man called John Hughes, who was at the time disturbing the peace of the people in the 1st Market-House, he having selected that spot for a pitched battle. The defendant desired a continuance of the case until this morning, and accordingly he was required to give surety for his good behavior and appearance at that time. He could not do it.--Hughes must be gotten up on the high pressure principle. A pair of formidable brass knuckles were found on his person. The officer represented his conduct in market yesterday morning as being most shocking to all delicate observation.
