s have been thus greatly improved, who could have anticipated that the water surface of the ponds would be made more valuable than even the best lands near! Capacious ice-houses had already been constructed, sufficient to supply a stock for a year in advance, should a year happen in which no ice was formed. The Boston ice business was first commenced with Fresh Pond, and, about 1835, numerous teams were employed to transport the ice four to six miles to the city and to the wharves on Charles River. This business suggested, about the time of the construction of the Lowell Railroad, a railway to Fresh Pond for the cheaper and quicker transportation of ice. Out of this Fresh Pond Railway grew the Fitchburg Railroad, whose extensions, in 1847, were in one direction to Greenfield, and another over the Cheshire Hills, with the view of reaching Burlington, Vt. Branching off by the shores of Spy Pond, another track of the railroad was extended through the village of West Cambridge, t

The announcement in the Boston papers of last week of the death of Mr. Hunt, and that he was the pilot that took the Chesapeake out of Boston harbor on the day of her memorable action with the Shannon, reminds me that this day is the fifty-seventh anniversary of that sanguinary battle. There is some mistake in the statement about Mr. Hunt's services on that occasion. The responsible piland John B. Russell, of the New England Farmer. See Genealogies. A kinsman of his, John Hill, had at this time 20,000 tons of ice for sale at No. 103 Faneuil Hall Market, Boston.

In this undertaking he accidentally fell, whil

He went into the battle, doubtless, against his own judgment, and expressed a full sense of the difficulties of his position, in an interview with the late Rev. Dr. Lowell, the day before the action. His deportment was modest, but he said he should try to do his duty, notwithstanding the discouraging aspect of affairs on his ship. The action was visible from the old fort at Hull, where the telegraph stood several years since, and was witnessed by hundreds on Look-out Hill, Gloucester; also by an immense number of people in the lower harbor, in sailing boats and small craft, every available boat being pressed into use on the occasion; the roof of the old Exchange Coffee House (7 stories high) was filled with people, who with glasses watched the course of the Chesapeake down the harbor.
