ike, I was confused by the new doctrine of one God and the Son of Man, as opposed to the doctrine of the triune God,--Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. I had been taught the latter, and I could not permit myself to have any doubts concerning it. In 1825, there was springing up on Pawtucket Falls of the Merrimack River, the second great manufacturing town in Massachusetts, Waltham on the Charles being the first. This town, afterwards Lowell, was then known as East Chelmsford. It had a growth unee, the only establishment of the kind in the town. I remained with them until December 18, when the Lowell High School was established, through the exertions of Rev. Theodore Edson, rector of St. Anne's Church. Mr. Edson, having come to Lowell in 1825, remained as rector of St. Anne's for over sixty years, most respected and most loved by his fellow-citizens. To him more than to any other, Lowell owes its school system, which, during its whole existence, has been one of the best established, m

Who is Opothleyoholo?--Some curiosity having been manifested as to the identity of this notorious Indian chief, The Fort Smith News, of the thirteenth December, 1861, answers the question as follows: Opothleyoholo, who is now giving so much trouble, is an old man about eighty years of age, and is a leader among what is now termed the Upper Creeks. His first appearance in a public capacity was about 1824 or 1825, soon after the murder, by the Creeks, of Gen. McIntosh, who was killed for making a treaty with the United States Opothleyoholo's name made its appearance about that time as the leader of the party opposed to the treaty. He is an eloquent speaker, and wields a mighty influence over the Upper Creeks by his tongue. The McIntosh party compose the Lower Creeks, and there exists still, between the two parties, the remains of the old national feud, and this may be the cause of the present attitude of Opothleyoholo and his followers. Indians never forget injuries, and

ax, for the support of public worship and the current expenses of the ensuing year. On the same day, Voted to raise, in like manner, three hundred dollars, for the reduction of the parish debt. Dec. 7, 1847: Rev. Mr. Stetson having fallen from the sidewalk in Main Street, and much injured himself, the parish met, and passed the following vote: To take measures for the supply of his pulpit during his confinement, without trouble or expense to him. The parish expenses were as follows: In 1825, $1,208.16; in 1830, $1,235.35; in 1840, $1,701.24 ; in 1845, $2,348.01; in 1850, $1,523.21. The change of the law in Massachusetts respecting the support of ministers, and the consequent change of action in some parishes, had produced fatal results. One statute provides thus: No person shall hereafter be made a member of any parish or religious society without his consent in writing. The inhabitants of Medford were not exempt from the operation of these and similar causes. The Committe

Nov. 1, 1824: Voted to divide the town into two districts, to be called Eastern and Western; and the $1,200, voted this year for the support of the schools, was to be divided equally between the districts. In 1825, the number of children in Medford, under fourteen years of age, was 525; and the thickening of population in new places made it necessary to multiply schoolhouses, and scatter them over the whole territory. 1829: Voted to build a schoolhouse, literature.

Brooks in 1822; and the fence was built at his expense. 1825.--Medford has not been a resort for Jews; but it had one who is remembered with interest,--Abraham Touro, eminent for his social and generous qualities. When General Lafayette reached Massachusetts, Mr. Touro offered him his noble horse for his ene leg. He left about two hundred thousand dollars; and distributed it, by will, in legacies varying from five to twenty thousand dollars. He gave much in charity. He left a large sum to keep the synagogue in Newport, R. I., in good repair. 1825.--Parties in the Woods. Within the first twenty years of this century, it was customary for select parties of girls and boys, in whortleberry-time, to go into the woods near Pine Hill, or at the Bower, and there frolic in true rustic style.

ever delivered in the House of Representatives. Charles Sumner, it will be remembered, had been foremost among the leaders in the negro legislation of Congress. Yet it was on the death of Charles Sumner that L. Q. C. Lamar, congressman from Mississippi, melted the members Lucius Q C. Lamar in 1879 Taken only five years after his Eulogy of Sumner, this photograph preserves the noble features of Lamar as he stood before the House of Representatives in 1874. He was born in Georgia in 1825, studied at Emory College in that State, graduating at twenty; and soon began the practice of law. In a few years he moved to Oxford, Mississippi, where he became a professor of mathematics in the State University, and continued his legal practice. His reputation as a speaker dates from 1851, when he met Senator Foote in joint debate and borne from the platform in triumph by the students of the University. Six years later he went to Congress from that district. During the war he served in t
