INTRODUCTION.
This Publication is issued as a volume representing the Institutions and Business Interests of Boston and New England, for distribution in Public Houses, Steamboats, and other public places, throughout the Union and the British North American Provinces. The work originated in an experienced want of such a publication, which the present Publishers were asked to supply.
The volume was commenced previously to the business revulsions of 1857, and has struggled with the disasters of the times, in common with the community it represents. Lashed by adverse gales, and nearly whelmed in surging seas, our gallant craft has yet moved steadily on, and brought us at last safely to the end of our voyage. That we have escaped the fate of those whose story is, " they started on their course, and were never heard of more," is due, under Providence, only to the staunch materials of which our bark has been constructed.
Metaphor aside, we trust this volume will be found to present some evidence of the inherent power and energy of New England capital and labor. Arrested in its career of prosperity by the shock of universal disaster, the industry of the people is employed in pulling do^vn old structures and building up new, breaking down old barriers, and opening new and commodious streets, filling up tide wastes, and estab- lishing square miles of magnificent habitations.
That this indomitable spirit of enterprise will realize its share in the prosperous future, can be but self-evident to all who know its past manifestations, shown in statistics of accumulated wealth, and the network of inland communication it has largely assisted in creating. Let it finish the sagacious purposes to which it is now devoting itself, and maintain its place in modem systems of ocean-navigation, and its destiny no prophecy is at present competent to portray.

HISTORICAL NOTES.
OSTON was settled in 1G30, by the Puritans from England, of whom it was remarked by the historian, Hume, that " it ia to this sect, whose principles appear so frivolous, and whose habits so ridiculous, that the English owe the whole freedom ' of their constitution." " We shall take the compliment," says Dr. Priestly, " and despise the reflections."
The primary cause which led to the various settlements in New England, of which Boston soon became the metropolis, j was religion. " It wjis not," in the lan- guage of J. Q. Adams, " the search of gold — it was not the pursuit of wealth — it was not the spirit of adventure — ^it was not the martial spirit of con- quest, which animated our English forefathers to plant themselves here in a desert and barren wilderness, to lay the foundations of the mightiest empire that the world ever saw. It was religion. It was the Christian religion, puri- fied and refined from its corruptions by the fires of perse- cution. The first colonists were indeed of that class of emigrants from their native land driven away by oppres- sion ; but in the settlements of Plymouth and Massachusetts, the stern and severe impulses of religion were tempered by the tenderest and most attractive sympathies of English patriotism. The Plymouth colonists had been fugitives from the north of England, who, from time to time, had escaped by crossing the North Sea to Holland, in numbers
sufficient to form an English Church at Leyden. They had fled from their country for the enjoyment of religious liber- ty in peace. But with that religion was inseparably con- nected the code of Christian morals in its simplicity and in its purity, — a code, above all others, resting upon the fun- damental principle of the natural equality of mankind. The English Puritan found in Holland a refuge from the per- secutions of his own countrymen, but he found not his English home — he found not the same system of pure morals to which his soul was bound. In the lapse of time he found that his children were leaving him and losing the name of Englishmen ; and notwithstanding all that he suf- fered from the injustice of his countrymen, so intense was his attachment to the name of England, that, interdicted aa he was from returning to her bosom, he determined to seek, beyond the Atlantic Ocean, at the distance of 3000 miles, in the most desolate region of the New Hemisphere, a spot of earth where he could make for himself an English home, and find or create in the wilderness a New England, as the only consolation accessible to his heart fjr the loss of the old."
During the season of 1630, 17 ships were employed, and they carried over not far from 1500 souls. " Many of them," says Bancroft, " men of high endowments, large fortune, and the best education ; clergymen who ranked among the most eloquent and pious in the reahn, embarked with Winthrop for their asylum, bearing with them their character, which was to be the basis of their liberty. The land was planted with a noble vine, wholly of the right seed.

Religion did not expel the feelings of nature." " They constituted a corporation to which they themselves might establish at their pleasure, the terms of admission. They held in their own hands the key to their asylum, and main- tained their right of closing its doors against the enemies of its harmony and its safety."
Such were some of the impulses which led to the early settlement of New England. The settlement of Plymouth was ten years previous to that of Boston, but during this ten years the inhabitants of Plymouth Colony did not exceed 300.
The growth of the Massachusetts Colony was much more rapid. In ten years 20,000 inhabitants had arrived, and 300 ships had been employed in their transportation. The early settlements were mainly in and around Boston, and near the seashore. Boston thus soon became the metropo- lis and centre of Massachusetts Colony, although Salem, Charlestown, and Newtown, (now Cambridge,) were, for a short time, formidable rivals. It was at this epoch that the foundation of those institutions were laid under which we now live.
" An affectionate and respectful remembrance of those worthies," sa3's Judge Davis, " who here laid the founda- tion of our multiplied enjoyments, is a debt of gratitude. We possess a good heritage, and it should heighten our sense of obligation to recollect that a generous foresight was a distinguished characteristic of our ancestors. An ardent desire to lay the foundation for the best interests of posterity, influenced all those plans of policy so expressive of their wisdom. In every stage of their enterprise they were prompted by an enlightened humanity and a prospective reference to the happiness of their descendants." The gov- ernment which was then formed, he continues, " though popular in its construction, was influenced in its most im- portant operations, by the wisdom, public spirit, and fore- sight of superior minds. In their extending settlements every suitable pi'ovision was made for the maintenance of civilization and order. Activity, energy, industry, and har- monious concert animated the whole community. A happy mediocrity prevailed, equally removed from excessive opu- lence and the depression of poverty. A salutary and permanent diffusion of the gladsome light of literature was in the very infancy of the colonies, secured by the establish- ment of Harvard College, the child of their fondest hopes, and ever the cherished ornament of the country. A legal provision for schools, in concert with the general disposition of parents, produced an extensive inculcation of the minor branches of learning. The civilization and religious instruc- tion of the natives was pursued with laudable assiduity." " The few exceptionable features, which may appear to views induced by a more large experience, and more liberal conceptions, are of inconsiderable import, when compared
with the great and manifest benefits derived from the steady prosecution of their system of policy. Never, perhaps, has been exhibited a more rapid progress of society, a more successful application of those moral elements in the econo- my of nations, which are the best and surest source of gen- eral felicity."
" The whole territory of New England was purchased for valuable consideration by the new-comers, and the Indian title was extinguished by compact, fulfilling the law of jus- tice between man and man. The most eminent writer on the law of nations, of modern times, Vattel, has paid a wor- thy tribute of respect to our forefathers, for their rigid observance, in this respect, of the natural rights of the in- digenous natives of the country. It, is from the example of the New England Puritans, that he draws the perceptive rule, and he awards to them merited honor for having established it."
It was always the custom, and soon became the law in New England, that " none of the brethren shall suffer so much barbarism in their families, as not to teach their children and apprentices so much learning as may enable them perfectly to read the English tongue." " To the end that learning may not be buried in the graves of our fore- fathers," it was ordered " that every township, after the Lord hath increased them to the number of fifty hoiisehold- ers, shall appoint one to teach all children to write and read ; and when any town shall increase to the number of one hundred families, they shall set up a grammar school ; the masters thereof being able to instruct youth so far as they may be fitted for the university."
In six years after the settlement of Boston, the colony voted a sum for the establishment of a college. " In these measures," says Bancroft, " especially in the laws establish- ing common schools, lies the secret of the success and char- acter of New England. Every child, as it was born into the world, was lifted from the earth by the genius of the country, and, in the statutes of the land, received as its birthright, a pledge of the public care for its morals and its mind."
The constant succession of stirring events which occurred in the Massachusetts colony, from its first settlement to a period succeeding the Revolution, was such as to keep the minds of its citizens ever active. The trials attending their first settlement developed all their energies. In six or eight years, the Pequot war, which led to the destruction of the Pequot nation, first called forth their military power. Their religious discussions, not to say dissensions, added not a little to the mental activity of these times.
From the revolution in 1661, to 1686, a stubborn conflict was going on with the English government for the preser- vation of their charter, which finally resulted, in 1G89, in an insurrection in Boston, and in what was called the New

England revolution. Boston was the centre of this revolu- tion, which soon spread to the Chesapeake.
Then came the tremendous crisis of King Philip's war, in which there was scarcely a family that had not lost a father, brother, or son. The sacrifice of life and property was greater in 1685-6 in Massachusetts, in proportion to population and wealth, than that afterwards sustained in the eight years' War of Independence. This she met mainly from her own resources. She was chided by Lord Anglesey, in 1676, for not calling upon the crown for assis- tance and protection. " It seems as if Massachusetts was disposed," says Palfrey, " at whatever cost, to avoid receiv- ing anything that could be called favor from a foreign gov- ernment, whose control over herself she was always intent on limiting as far as possible. In short, they chose to take care of themselves, though they could ill afford it, and to give the king as little right as possible to appeal to their gratitude when they should be disposed to try any bolder experiments on his authority."
The Salem witchcraft and its attending circumstances, in 1691-2-3, was a dreadful passage in a majestic current of events. " Deplore as we may," adds Mr. Palfrey, " the giievous infatuation, still more even than we lament and condemn that, may we find cause to applaud the brave and constant spirit that never would quail before the awful delu- sion that possessed it. It was no less than the powers of darkness that these men believed were their assailants. They imagined the Prince of Hell, with his legions, to be among them, the Lord's host, seeking whom he might de- vour : and they gave place to him for subjection, no, not for an hour. Set upon by invisible and supernatural foes, they thought of nothing but prompt defiance, inflexible resistance, and the victory of which God would give his people. They would have made bare the arm of flesh against the Serpent in bodily presence, could he have put on an assailable shape ; as it was, they let it fall without mercy on those whom they understood to be his emissaries."
Next came the succession of French and Indian wars, which lasted from 1675 to 1763. In 1677, Massachusetts purchased the province of Maine for £1250. " In a pecu- niary point of view," according to Bancroft, " no transac- tion could have been for Massachusetts more injurious, for it made her a frontier State, and gave her the most exten- sive and most dangerous frontier to defend." The territory of Maine was then claimed to the St. Lawrence, and Mas- sachusetts felt in honor bound to protect her own soil. Her legislature, by a majority of one, determined on the expe- dition against Louisborg, and levied over 3000 volunteers, while Connecticut furnished 516, New Hampshire 304, and Rhode Island 200 ; which led to its capitulation. She sent over 7000 men into these wars — from two to three times as many as all the other colonies together — which
forever broke down the power of France on this western continent.
The scenes and trials of the Revolution are known by heart, and it is unnecessary to reproduce them. Boston being then the metropolis of Massachusetts, and of New England, was the centre in which a vigorous fermentation was always going on, and opinions were matured. She is therefore completely identified with the early history of the country — "a history incomparably precious to the New England man, as being that of his own great race ; inesti- mably precious to the wise of every lineage, as being full oi rich instruction and example."
" It is impossible for a discerning man to turn over the records of Massachusetts," says Palfrey, " and not find de- light in the exhibition there held up of much that is most vigorous and excellent in human nature. They are the records of a people generally prudent and clear-sighted through the whole period of its history; but which, hasty and mistaken, as at one period, or sagacious and rightly judging, as at another, has always been firm and brave — always true and loyal to the convictions of the time."
If Boston is indebted to any one thing more than another for her prosperity, and for the position which she occupies among the cities of the world, it is to the early and constant provision which she has made to the cause of education.
Her schools now present, in the opinion of experienced educationists, a course of instruction adapted to the wants of the mechanic and business man, as thorough and com- plete as that of the average of the colleges in the United States.
Notwithstanding the strong religious tendencies of the early settlers, they paid much attention to the military, which was fostered with the greatest care. As an evidence of this, the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company was formed in 1638, eight years after the settlement of Boston. By the charter, which is signed John Winthrop, Governor, and Thomas Dudley, Deputy Governor, it was called the Military Company of Massachusetts, and it is the oldest military company in the United States.
The practice of having a sermon preached before them on each anniversary has been handed down to the present day. The first of these sermons which was printed was in 1672. The celebrated Cotton Mather preached before them in 1691.
On Monday, April 24, 1704, John Campbell published in Boston, the first newspaper ever issued in America. That first paper may now be seen in the cabinet of the Antiqua- rian Society, at Worcester. It was called the Boston News Letter, and was regularly published by different proprietors for nearly 72 years. It was the only paper printed in Boston during the siege.
A paper called the Courani was published in Boston by

On the 27th day of August, 1630, John Winthrop, first Giovernor of Massachusetts, Thomas Dudley, who for a long time was deputy-Governor, and afterwards Governor of the Colony, Isaac Johnson, " a gentleman of family and for- tune," and John Wilson, a minister of rclijion, with about
ninety two others, men and women, entered into a covenant as a Church of Christ, and first met for religious services under a large tree which stood in what is now Charlestown, having installed Rev. John Wilson as teacher. In a few weeks, or months, the larger portion of worshippers removed their place of worship to Trimotane or Boston, and erected their first meeting-house on the South side of what is now State street. The second was built in Cornhill, and was consumed by fire Oct. 2, 1711. Rebuilt on the same spot in 1712; was dedicated May 3, 1713, and for many years known as the Old Brick. It was taken down in 1808. The fourth or present meeting-house was erected in Chauncy Place, and dfdicated July 21, of the same year.

SECOND CHURCH.
BEDFORD STREET.
The history of the Second or Old North Church is inter- esting and eventful. It has always maintained a position of influence among the churches in Boston ; has passed through many vicissitudes, and has numbered amongst its pastors and members some of the most distinguished men of ' New England.
It was gathered on the fifth day of June, 1650, but the foundation of its first church edifice was laid a little earlier, in 1649, at the head of North Square. This house was burned in a great fire, Nov. 27, 1676.
The Second Church has gathered into itself, at difTereiit periods, two other churches. In 1779 it formed a union with what was called the New Brick Church, founded in 1721, by a number of seceders from the New North, who were dissatisfied with the call of Rev. Peter Thacher from his society at Weymouth; and in 1854 it purchased the beau- tiful house of worship in Bedford Street, belonging to the " Church of the Savior," and united with the small but most excellent society by which that noble edifice had been erected.
In the war of the Revolution, while Boston was occupied by the British, the Old North Church, which had stood about a hundred years, was torn down, and burnt by the soldiers for fire wood ; it being built of fine oak timber.
The new brick church in Hanover Street was taken down in March, 1844, and a new building erected in its stead, which, on account of a division of feeling, wholly sectional between the North End and South End portions of the parish, was sold to the Methodists in 1849 ; the church, and nearly all the congregation, removing with the pastor, first to the Masonic Temple, afterwards to the Chapel in Free-
man Place, and finally to the present edifice in Bedford Street. This edifice was dedicated Nov. 10, 1852, and was built at the cost of $70,000. It is in the early English style of ecclesiastical architecture, and consists of a nave, with side aisles, a chancel and a tower. The nave is separated from the aisles by columns bearing arches, over which is a clere- stor)', pierced with triangular trefoil windows. The aisles are lighted with lancet windows ; and in the front is a large triplet. The windows are of stained glass, richly orna- mented. The roof is left open to the ridge. The inside length, from the front to the rear of the chancel, is 104 feet, and the width is 69 feet. There are 182 pews, which will accommodate about 1000 persons. The material of the church is freestone. There is a chapel in rear of the church which will accommodate 300 persons. Both church and chapel are finished in the best taste. H. & J. E. Billings were the architects.
The church is now in a very flourishing condition, and the congregation is one of the strongest and healthiest in the city.

BKATTLE SQUARE CHURCH.
It was in the year 1697, when the population of Boston numbered but a few thousands, that Thomas Brattle con- veyed a piece of land to an association of persons for reli- gious purposes. The church rose a frail wooden structure, and was finished in the year 1699. It was called the Mani- festo Church, from a document or manifest, in which, con- trary to the principles professed by the Puritan Churches of that time, the founders of the society advocated a freer institution, afterwards adopted by almost all our Congrega- tional Churches, which allowed the right of voting for the choice of minister not only to communicants but to all con- tributing to the support of the public worship; besides tolerating the reading of the Scriptures in church and the baptising of children whose parents were not members of the church in full.
Rev. Benjamin Colman, D.D., became the first minister. Ordained in London he entered upon his pastoral duties Aug. 4, 1699, and was connected with the church for a period of half a century. Rev. William Cooper was united with him as colleague from May 23, 1716, to Dec. 20, 1743.
Rev. Samuel Cooper, the son of this latter, also settled as cpUeague with Dr. Colman, was their next pastor. Dur- ing his ministry the plan of erecting a new and more com- modious edifice was proposed by a number of pious and liberal members of the society. In accordance with this design the old juilding was taken down in May 1772, and ~bn its fouudations rose the existing church, at the cost of £8,000, of which Gov. John Hancock contributed one- eighth. Dr. Cooper closed his long and able ministry by his death in Dec. 20, 1783.
The following ministers respectively labored with the church from that period. Rev. Peter Thacher, from Jan. 12, 1785, to Dec. 16, 1802. " J. S. Buckminster, from Jan. 30, 1805, to Jan. 9, 1812. " Edward Everett, from Feb. 8, 1814, to Marcli 5, 1815. " John G. Palfrey, from June 19, 1818, to May 22, 1830. " S. K. Lothrop, D.D., present pastor, ins. June 18, 1834.
NEW SOUTH, OR CHURCH GREEN.
The first known meeting of the proprietors of this church was at the tavern called " The Bull " on the 14th July, 1715. On the 20th Sept. of the same year, they petitioned the town for a parcel of land called " Church Green " for the purpose of erecting a church thereon. A more suitable place could not have been obtained ; and by situation and name it was doubtless intended for the use made of it. The building was dedicated on Jan. 8, 1717, and the Church Covenant was signed April 15. A new and the present edifice was dedicated on 29th December, 1814.
The location of this church is one of the most beautiful in the city. The church itself is built of white hammered granite ; and its graceful steeple, 190 feet liigh, is one of the handsomest structures in the city.

CHAPEL IN FKEEMA.N PLACE.
FEDERAL STREET CHURCH.
This society commenced under the Presbyterian form in the year 1727 ; and for some time they met in a barn which they had converted into a place of religious worship. They exchanged this humble place of meeting for one more imposing which was erected on the spot occupied by the first in 1 744. This in turn gave place to ano'.her of the gothic style, built of brick surmounted by a wooden spire, which was dedicated Nov. 23, 1809. This edifice, being located in the centre of extensive business improvements, disappeared in the spring of 1859. A new building is to be erected by the church on the new lands west of the Common. The society now occupy the Chapel in Free- man Place, represented in the above engraving.
August 6, 1786, by the vote of the society, they forsook the Presbyterian form, and adopted tho Congregational, to which order the church now belongs.
The first pastor was Rev. John Moorhead who was settled March 31, 1730 ; his ministry continued till his death, Dec. 2, 1773.
Rev. Robert Annah, Rev. Jeremy Belknap, D.D., and Rev. John S. Popkin, D. D., successively labored with the church to the ordination of the lamented Dr. Channing. Rev. Mr. Annah was installed 1783, and dismissed 1786;
FREE CHAPEL:
OH, SUFFOLK STREET CHAPEL.
The Free Chapel on Shawmut Avenue, corner of Rut- land Street, formerly called the Suffolk Street Chape!, (that being the name of the street at the time of its erection, but since changed to Shawmut Avenue,) is one of the chapels connected with the ministry at large, established under the auspices of the " Benevolent Fraternity of Churches," and mainly supported by it.
This chapel was built in the year 1839. It was dedicated February 5, 1840. It is the largest of the chapels con- nected with the ministry at large, and was built at a cost of 15,000 dollars on land that was given by the city, ac- cording to a grant in 180G, to the first religious association who should erect a church thereon. The congregation pre- viously worshipped in a hall, at the corner of Canton Street, and before that in the upper room of the primary school house in Northampton Street, where it was originally gathered, and which was first opened for religious services July 16, 1837.

TWELFTH CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.
CHAMBEB3 STREET
In 1823 several gentlemen having conferred together on the subject of the increasing population of Boston, resolved to attempt the formation of a new society of liberal Chris- tians, and the erection of a suitable meeting-house for their accommodation. They caused a subscription paper to be circulated which soon received the names of 102 persons who were willing to share in the expense of the under- taking, provided the location of the. contemplated edifice should be in the western section of the city, where, it had been ascertained, many families resided that were unable to find seats in any neighboring church of their own faith. The corner stone of the building was laid, with appropriate ceremonies. May 10, 1824 ; and on the 14th of June the proprietors were incorporated by the Legislature as the " Twelfth Congregation Society in the City of Boston." Early in the autumn of the same year, the structure was completed at a cost of 34,000 dollars ; and it was solemnly dedicated to the worship of God on the 13th of October. This meeting-house is pleasantly situated on Chambers Street, between Allen and McLean Streets, and is shaded

EAST BOSTON CHURCH.
MAVEniCK, CORNEU OF BREMEN STREET, EAST BOSTON.
Efforts were made to establish regular Unitarian worship in East Boston as early as A. D., 1835. Services were holden in a school-house in Paris Street. No regular church organization was entered into, however, until the year 1845. Rev. Leonard J. Livermore was the first pas- tor, lie was ordained March 24th, 1847, and resigned in the year 1851.
During the year 1852 efforts were made to procure funds sufficient to erect a place of worship, which proved success- ful. The edifice rose at the cost of $11,000, and was dedi- cated Dec. 29, 1852. It is a modern structure of wood, 60 feet by 44, with a room 20 by 25 called the " Parish Parlor."

BDLFINCH STUEET CHURCH.
This society was formed in 1822. The corner stone of the church edifice was laid Oct- 7th, 1822. Its dedication took place on the 7th of May, 1823. The house is of brick, and is 74 by 70 feet. The proportions and arrangements of the interior are in good taste, and are considered credit- able to the architect. The basement contains two very commodious vestry rooms, arranged for the accommodation of the Sunday School connected with this society, which is quite large, and also for the evening lectures, the sewing circle, and church meetings.
The society was incorporated Jan. 21, 1823, by the name of the Central Universalist Society. By a unanimous vote of the proprietors, in March, 1838, application was made to the Legislature for a change of name, for the reason, as set forth ia their memorial, " that the term Universalist, as now theologically defined, expresses a meaning inconsistent with their faith." The petition was granted, and they were au- thorized to take the name of " Bulfinch Street Society."

The first minister, Rev. Mr. Wood, was ordained Nov. 13, 1821, as an Evangelist from a council assembled at Wey- mouth. He died in 1822 without sustaining a pastoral relation to the society.
Rev. Lemuel Capen was invited to become the second pastor of the church. He accepted, but in consequence of his connection with the public schools he performed his ministerial duties without a formal installation from Jan. 28, 1823, to Oct. 31, 1827, when he was installed as pastor. He left in 1839.

THE CHURCH OF THE DISCIPLES.
INDIANA PLACE.
The church was founded in 1841. It first worshipped in Ritchie Hall, Amory Hall, and the Masonic Temple ; and afterward erected the chapel in Freeman Place (named after the late Rev. Dr Freeman, of King's Chapel,) which it occupied until, in 1850, on account of the sickness of the pastor and other reasons, its public worship was suspended, and its chapel sold to the Second Church. It now worships in Indiana Place.
The condition on which men worship in this church is that one shall declare his " faith in Jesus as the Christ, the Son of God," and his purpose of •' uniting with the church in the study and practice of Christianity."
This church has from the first held so:;ial religious meet- ings for the culture of christian thought and affection. In its liturgy it has introduced something of the Episcopal, Methodist, and Quaker services, combining congregational singing and responses with extemporary and silent prayer. It has also been, to a great extent, a free church, meeting its expenses by a voluntary subscription.

WARREN STREET CHAPEL.
WARREN' STREET.
This Institution, established A. D. 1835-C, through the liberality of several private individuals, and placed under the charge of Rev. C. E. Barnard, is devoted to the general objects of the Ministry at Large, parlicularly in their relation to the young. It contains various free schools for instruction in Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, and Sew- ing, intended for those who cannot obtain such advantages elsewhere, and open at such hours as their convenience requires.
The following letter from Boston to the National Intelli- gencer, gives an interesting History of the Warren Street Chapel : —
Boston, April 23, 1859.
On the south side of Warren, just out of Washington street, stands a large plain brick structure, three stories in front and four in the rear. (We give the precise locality for the benefit of visitors from abroad.) On the left of the en- trance is a small garden with a fountain ; and on the right a conservatory. Within the admirably-planned building are accommodations for the janitor and his family, washing and bathing-rooms, a half a dozen or more ample school- rooms and parlors, neatly fitted up, hung with maps, pic- tures, and medallions, and adorned with casts of appropriate pieces of statuary. The chapel proper, on the second floor, ■will seat an auditory of five or six hundred persons. It has a small, sweeHoned organ, sittings for the choir, and a sim- ple mahogany desk pulpit at one end. In the corners are kneeling Samuels and other fitting figures, and on the walls, choice engravings. This place of worship, like all the rest of the building, has been arranged with a nice regard to
convenience, simplicity, and correct taste. There are two libraries — one for adults and the other for children; also, cabinets for minerals and shells, and cases of curiosities.
What is this Warren street Chapel (that is the not very descriptive name which it bears) for, what is done under its roof, what is its history, and how is it sustained? In the first place, on week days there are several schools, e.g. a charity school of pupils gathered up from the streets, cleaned up, clothed, and taught, and fitted for the public schools, or otherwise provided for to save them from ruin ; sewing schools, dancing schools, and evening schools for adults. On Sundays there are Sunday schools, two regular services for children, and sometimes a third for their parents and others who may choose to attend. Occasionally, courses of lectures are given. But this is not all. At certain seasons, such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, there are juvenile parties, when the whole house is bright and alive with joy and frolic. At other times, as on May Day and Fourth of July, the Chapel gets up fetes in Faneuil or the Music Hall. Formerly it furnished on the national holiday the elaborate and very beautiful floral processions. Thes6 were succeeded by floral fairs in the Public Garden. But the growth of the city and the increased cost and labor ne- cessary to make them profitable, together with the risk of bad weather, caused their discontinuance. They arc still remembered as beautiful shows that had a refining eflect on occasions that are apt to be noisy and coarse.
The history of this institution may be briefly told. The Rev. Charles F. Barnard, a quarter of a century ago, was the associate for a short time of the late Rev. Dr. Tucker- man, the first city missionary. From his experience in this relation he was led to consecrate himself to the work of a visitor of the poor. Entering upon his duties as one of the ministers of the Fraternity of Churches, an association formed by the Unitarian churches to support the ministry at large, he soon became satisfied that he could do the most good by confining his attention almost exclusively to the young. The " Fraternity " did not yield to his wishes, and so, in business phrase, he " set up for himself." Sympathiz- ing friends came to his aid, and in due time the Chapel was built by subscription. One thing brought on another ; and the result is the institution as it now exists — still under Mr. Barnard's supervision, zealously seconded all along by the hearty cooperation and eflicient services of a corps of volunteer teachers, advisers, and contributors of both sexes. Mr. B. of course has his heart, head, and hands full. He visits the sick, carries them to tide, and furnishes them with medicines and delicacies; he preaches; he oversees the schools ; he marries his scholars now and then as they grow up to manhood and womanhood ; and lie buries those who are called hence — -the Chapel having its carefully kept "lot" at Mount Auburn. No man in the city works more

diligently ihan he, or, to all appearance, with more loving devotion to his Christian task. It seems to be his life ; and he is always at his post, always up and doing. He, we ven- ture to say, has no ennui from " unused powers," no leisure for morbid feelings, no uneasiness for want of something to do. He and his coadjutors, who deserve a large share of the praise it has earned, have managed the Chapel for more than two score years, and brought it to its present estate. Of course they can now report fruits, and ask from year to year permission and material aid to enable them to go on with their enterprise.
It appears by the last report that nearly a Oiousand chil- dren and other persons have enjoyed the advantages of the Chapel in some or all of its departments during 1858-9. We are told that of more than six thousand young persons who have been connected with the Chapel not one has as yet been known to be a violator of law, or seen as an offender in any court of justice. We have heard of some of these graduates, so to speak, who, becoming prosperous men, have gratefully remembered, by donations, the school that helped them out of early ignorance and poverty. We know of well-to-do men of business, musicians, vocaUsts, and artists, good citizens, faithful wives and mothers, ever ready to confess their indebtedness, directly orindircctly, fortheir start in life, to the Warren Street Chapel. The Chapel was not " got up " according to a preconceived and carefully prepared plan. Those concerned have, in great measure, been carried forward step by step, following out providen- tial hints, trying experiments in a practical common sense way, building all the while better than they knew, and as- tonished at times, we doubt not, both at their venturesome- ness and their prosperous career. The Chapel has been, to a considerable extent, .self-supporting; obtaining from floral sales, festivals, and concerts no inconsiderable portion of the needed income. The Chapel has always eschewed sectarianism. Some of its operations, especially those bav- in" reference to amusements, have been looked upon occa- sionally as injudicious. But it has lived down jealousy and distrust, and obtained a fair repute and popularity with peo- ple of all classes and denominations. The Chapel is not e.xclusively an institution for the poor — meaning by that term destitute objects of charity — it aims also to benefit those who, " to put a fine point upon it," are in less favored cir- cumstances as regards the means of a true culture for them- selves and their children. The Chapel, in a word, is a sort of educational institution, furnishing to such as want them, in part or in whole, the benign influences of the church, the home, and the school. It would teach the young whom it gathers in, make them or help them to be good, minister to their happiness, cultivate their tastes, give them innocent recreations, awaken in them the desire to learn and to be useful, and train them in loyalty to truth and virtue.
Doubtless the Chapel has its faults and msikes its mistakes ; but we apprehend that there are few institutions in Christ- endom that could present a cleaner or a more interesting record of experiences and success.
If there were a Warren Street Chapel in every ward in our cities, as one of its friends once said, they would do more than any other instrumentality to prevent poverty, ignorance, vice, and crime. The Chapel, however, cannot, we suppose, be copied or transplanted. It is a speciality which has not been fabricated, but which has grown up and become what it is by a process of development Still this sketch of it, which has told but a portion of its story, may furnish some valuable suggestions to practical philan- thropists elsewhere, and enable them to go and do some- what likewise. Tours, &c., S.
P. S. We ought to have stated that, under the auspices of the Chapel, there arc various executive agencies for be- nevolent purposes. One of these the last year provided places for sixty-two girls. As evidence of the systematic and careful management of the Chapel, we may add that in the circulation last year of 1549 boolcs none have been lost, that only four volumes have disappeared since 1852.

SOCIETY OP FRIENDS.
FRIENDS' MEETING HOUSE,
Mil, TON PLACE — IN FEDERA.!, STREET.
There are but few Quakers in Boston. They occasion- ally hold meetings here, but the persons composing these meetings are generally residents of other places ; they are chiefly from Lynn.
Their meeting house is quite small, built of stone, and is a very neat edifice. It is in Milton place, situated a little back from the street. Like the Friends themselves, it is so quiet and retired that a person might pass through the street a number of times, and not observe the building. In Bo- wen's picture of Boston, it is stated : " From the year 1G64 to 1808, the society of Friends held regular meetings in Bos- ton. They built the first brick meeting house in the town, in Brattle street, and another of similar materials in Congress street. The former was sold in 1 708 ; the latter was erected prior to 1717, and stood till April, 1825, when the building was sold and demolished. Connected with this house was a burial ground, in which the dead of the Society were in- terred. Their remains were removed to Lynn in the sum- mer of 1826. The land was sold in 1827, and the stone building opposite the west end of LicdaU street occupies the site of the old church."
BAPTIST DENOMINATION.
FIRST BAPTIST CHUUCH,
SOMERSET STREET.
This Church was first gathered in Charlestown, on the 28th of March, 1665 ; at that time it consisted of nine mem- bers. Their first house of worship was built in 1679, on the corner of Stillman and Salem streets, in Boston. In 1771 a new house was erected on the same spot, which was occupied by the society till 1829, when they removed to the church on the corner of Hano^■cr and Union streets, where they remained till 1854.
On the 12th September, 1853, was laid the corner stone of their new church in Somerset street. This building is of brick, covered with mastic. It is of the Gothic style of architecture, and is 94 feet long by 70 wide, in front. The spire is of wood, covered with copper, and is 200 feet high.

ORTHODOX CONGREGATIONAL.
THE OLD SOUTH CHURCH.
WASHINGTON STREET, CORNER OF MILK.
The Old South is the oldest of the Orthodox Congrega- tional churches in this city. It was organized. May 16, 1669. In 1815, all the original Congregational churches of Boston had departed from the faith of the fathers. During Rev. Mr. Huntington's ministry, the " American Education Society," and the " Society for the Religious and Moral Improvement of the Poor," were established principally by his influence. More than a hundred years ago, this church made appropriations for the distribution of bibles, to help sustain feeble churches, and to educate young men for the ministry. This church was a bible, missionary, and education society, long before these modern organizations existed.
The first house of this society was of cedar. Their wooden house was taken down in 1729 ; and religious ser- vices were attended in the present house, for the first time, on the 26th of April, 1730. This house is eighty -eight by sixty-one feet. It contains internal evidence of having been built in the early part of the last century. It has a sounding-board, and two tiers of galleries. This house has many interesting historical associations connected with re- volutionary times.
" Here was delivered, in defiance of the threats of authority, and in presence of a marshalled soldiery, Warren's fearless oration, on the anniversary of the massacre of the 5th of March. 1770. Here were repeatedly held the meetings of

oppressed freemen, which called forth those peals of patriotr ic eloquence which moved the whole country, and shook the British throne." '
During the siege of Boston, the British cavalry here learned to exercise ; and a grog-shop was kept in the first gallery. There was nothing sacred about the building, be- cause it was a dissenting meeting-house. Before the revo- lution, it had often been thronged with multitudes of eager listeners to the holy man of God, George Whitefield.

PARK STREET CHURCH.
PABIC STHEET, COENER OF TEEMONT STREET.
This church was gathered February 27, 1809. At its organization it consisted of twenty-si.x members, twenty- one of whom came from other churches. Dr. Griffin was its first pastor. He was bold and fearless in declaring the doctrines, as they were held by the fathers of New Eng- land. The ears of Bostonians had so long been accustomed to smoother things, that they tingled when they heard the gospel in its primitive simplicity and purity. Tlie charac- ter of this infant church was formed under his ministry. The influence which this church has exerted upon the city, the country, and heathen world is principally owing to his ministry. This church has enjoyed repeated times of re- freshing from the presence of the Lord. During the year
1812-13, the Holy Spirit was specially present with the Word. In 1822-23, one hundred and forty-four were ga- thered into the church. Again, in 1827-28, one hundred and thirty-four made a public profession of religion. In 1842, one hundred and one persons were received into the bosom of this church.

ESSEX STREET.
This church was originally gathered by Rev. James Sa- bine and the house dedicated, in 1819. A difficulty arose between some members of the church and their pastor, and a majority of the church and pastor left the house. After this, a minority of the church was organized, June 10, 1822. The infant church made application to the Old South and Park Street churches for assistance. Several members from these churches volunteered to go to their assistance, — connected themselves with them. Hence they called them- selves th3 " Union Church."

The greatest number received in any one year of Mr. Winslow's ministry was one hundred and sixty ; and the least, forty -three. This church has sent forth her members to aid in planting and strengthening Pine, Salem, and Win- ter Street churches ; the Eliot, in Ro.\bury ; the Winthrop, in Charlestown ; the Evangelical, in Cambridgeport ; the Mariner's Church ; the church in East Boston ; and the church in Chelsea.

MOUNT VERNON CHURCH.
A.SHBURTON PLACE.
During the year 1840-41, several brethren of the Or- thodox Congregational churches were impressed with the importance of forming a church to secure the services of Rev. E. N. Kirk. These brethren held several meetings for consultation and prayer. Twenty-five brethren, and twenty-two sisters, were organized into a church, at Park Street Vestry, June 1, 1842. On the same day, Mr. Kirk was installed as their pastor. They worshipped a year or more in the Masonic Temple.

The dimensions of this building are seventy-five feet by ninety-seven ; containing one hundred and thirty-two pews on the lower floor and fifty in the gallery, in which one thousand two hundred and seventy persons may be conve- niently seated. The basement story contains, besides the general committee rooms, a commodious chapel, si.\ty-eight feet long by forty-eight broad, which will accommodate si.x hundred persons.
On the fii-st of June, 1852, ten years from the organiza- tion of the church, there were connected with the church five hundred and seventy-five members ; making an annual increase of fifty-two.
CENTRAL CHURCH.
The congregation which now worships in Central Church, in Winter Street, was originally gathered, with a view to occupy the Odeon, which was formerly used as a theatre. Several members of the Evangelical Congregational churches, in the city, agreed with the Academy of Music to occupy it as a place of worship on the Sabbath. A meet- ing was called. May 6, 1835, at which, after mature delibe- ration, it was judged expedient to form a new church. The church was organized, May 11, embracing sixty-three members. Rev. William M. Rogers was installed pastor, August 6, 1835.
On May 27, 1841, the comer-stone of the Winter Street Church was laid with appropriate religious services. The Central Congregational Society was legally organized, De- cember 7, 1841. On December 24, the Franklin Street Church assumed the name of " Central Congregational ; " and on December 31, 1841, the church edifice was dedi- cated to the worship of God. Before the church left the Odeon, a deep solicitude was felt that they might enter the new house with right feelings. They ardently desired that the glory of God might fill the house. The church then numbered two hundred and eighty members. God was pleased graciously to visit this church with special tokens of loving kindness. During the first year of occupying their new house, two hundred and three were gathered into this church.

For several years before this church was gathered, a Sabbath Evening Lecture had been maintained in a hall not far from the place where the present church is located. The church was organized wtth fifty members, Nov. 20, 1845, under the auspices of the City Missionary Society, and worshipped in a chapel erected by that society until the fall of 1851. They moved into their new house of wor- ship, November, 1852. It is built on Sbawmut Avenue, nearly fronting Blackstone Square, in one of the most plea- sant parts of the city. It is of the Romanesque style, and reflects much credit on the designer, J. D. Towle, Esq., ar- chitect of the city. The edifice is built of brick, with a mastic front, one hundred feet deep by sixty-six broad. The spire rises to the height of one hundred and ninety feet. This church is universally admired; audits internal arrange-
ments are well fitted for the various purposes of a church edifice. The auditory is seventy-five feet by sixty-three, and contains one hundred and forty pews. The prospects of the society are very encouraging.

authority of Governor Andros that this privilege was at length, and with some difficulty, obtained. Three years afterwards the Episcopalians were enabled to erect the first church of that order in Boston, — a wooden edifice, — on the spot now occupied by the Stone Chapel, and known as King's Chapel. This building was much enlarged in the year 1710 ; and, in 1749, the present stone edifice was com- menced. Here the sacraments and ordinances of the church were regularly administered, until the troublous times of the Revolution. The chapel was closed from the period of the evacuation of Boston by the British troops, until about 1782, when it fell into the hands of the Unita- rians, in whose possession it has ever since remained. With its history subsequent to 1775, this portion of the work has nothing to do ; it will be found under the proper head.
SALEM CHURCH.
SALEM STEEET
A meeting of the friends of the Redeemer was held March 21, 1827, to consider whether it was not expedient to erect another house of worship. It being doubtful whether it was most needed at the north or the south part of the city, it was resolved to erect two, one on Pine and the other on Salem Street. The corner-stone of Salem Church was laid, July 17, 1827. Ninety-seven persons were organized into a church, Sept. 1, 1827.

There were several influential members of that communion resid- ing here previous to that date ; but, owing to the strong op- position manifested towards the Church of England by the furitans and their descendants, the Episcopal liturjy was not publicly used until the year just mentioned. The Rev. Robert Ratclifle had arrived in Boston in May, 1686, but it was not till the March following that he was permitted to hold public services ; and it was only by the influence and
CHRIST CHURCH,
SALEM STREET.
Notwithstanding the enlargement of King's Chapel in 1 7 1 0, it was soon found inadequate to supply sittings for the increasing number of Episcopalians in Boston ; and, on the 15th of April, 1723, the corner-stxjne of a new church, to be named Christ Church, was laid by the Rev. Samuel Niles, then rector of King's Chapel ; and the building was opened for public worship on the 29th of December, of the the same year, by '."-e Rev. Timothy Cutler, D. D. It is a brick edifice, situated on Salem Street, near Copp's Hill ; in length, seventy feet ; in width, fifty ; and, in height, thirty- five. On the western end is a lower twenty-four feet square, surmounted by a steeple which rises to the height of one hundred and seventy-five feet from the sidewalk.

This steeple was blown down in the memorable gale of Oc- tober, 1804 ; and the present one, in which the symmetry and proportions of the former are carefully preserved, was erected in 1807, and thoroughly repaired in 1847. The tower contains a set of eight finely toned bells, which were placed there in 1744. The following persons have succes- sively filled the office of rector of this church : —

TRINITY CHURCH.
SUMMER STKEET.
In about ten years after the building of Christ Church, it was found that a third church was required to furnish accommodation for the Episcopal families residing in what was then the southern section of the city. Accordingly on the 151h April, 1734, the Rev. Roger Price, then rector of King's Chapel, laid the corner-stone of an edifice, to be named Trinity Church, in Summer Street, at the corner of Hawley Street. It was of wood, and was first opened for divine service in about four months from its commencement. This building was taken down in August, 1828; and the present church, built of rough granite, in the massive Go- thic stylo, was consecrated to the worship of God on the the 11th of November, 1829. It is as an elegant and sub- stantial structure, capable of seating about one thousand two hundred persons. The woodwork of the interior is painted to imitate oak, and the walls are beautifully fres- coed. Among other mural tablets which decorate the inte- rior is one designed and executed by Brackett, to the memory of the late Bishop Griswold, whose remains are de- posited beneath. The organ, built at a cost of about ten thousand dollars, is a remarkably rich toned and powerful instrument.
The succession of ministers in this church runs as tol- ows: —
Rev. Addington Davenport. Settled, May 8, 1740; died, Sept. 8, 1746.
Rev. Wm. Hooper. Settled, Aug. 28, 1747 ; died April 5, 1767.

ST. MATTHEW'S CHURCH,
SOUTH BOSTON.
In the interval between the years 1734 and 1816, no additional church edifice was erected for Episcopal worship in the city of Boston. In fact, the number of churches of that denomination had diminished in that interval ; for it was during this period that King's Chapel passed into Uni- tarian hands. Those who were connected with that church, " and who still held the Trinitarian faith, instead of erecting another edifice, united themselves with the congregations of , Christ Church and Trinity Church; so that, from 1782 to I 1816, there were only these two Episcopal churches in

Boston. In the latter year, a small Episcopal society was orijanized at South Boston, under the name of St. Mat- thew's Church ; and from March, 1816, till June, 1818, their services were held in a schoolhouse, and principally eon- ducted by lay readers. Indeed, no settled clergyman was connected with this parish till the year 1824, though several ministei-s officiated temporarily in the church for longer or shorter periods. On the 24th June, 1818, St. Matthew's Church was consecrated to the service of God, by the late Bishop Griswold. In the autumn of 1831, the building was considerably enlarged. It is a brick edifice, centrally situated on Broadway, between D and E Streets, and con- tains sittings for about 450 persons. A new and more commodious building is much needed by this society. The following is the list of ministers who have been connected with this church : —
Rev. John L. Blake. Settled, June, 1824 ; resigned, June, 1832. Rev, Mark A. DeWolf Howe. Settled, Aug., 1832; resigned, October, 1832.
The church was then closed till February, 1834. I Rev. E. M. P.Wells. Settled, Feb 1834 ; resigned April, 1S35. \ Rev. Horace L. Conolly. Settled May, 1835 ; res.. May, 1838. jvev. Joseph H. Clinch. Settled, June, 1S3S, is the present
rector.
ST. PAUL'S CHURCH.
TREMONT STREET.
About the period of the completion of St. Matthew's Church, a project was put on foot for the erection of a costly edifice, to be situated on Tremont Street, between Winter Street and Temple Place, and facing the Common and the State House. Subscriptions to the building fund were commenced in March, 1819 ; and the corner-stone of St. Paul's Church was laid, with appropriate solemnities, on the 4th of September in the same year. The church was con- secrated on the 30th of June, 1820, by Bishops Griswold of Massachusetts, and Brownell of Connecticut, assisted by several of the clergy. It is built in the Grecian style of architecture, of the Ionic order. The body of the church is 112 feet long, 72 feet wide, and 40 feet high, from the floor to the top of the cornice. The walls are of a fine grey granite ; the portico, and the columns which support it, are of Potomac sandstone, laid in courses. This portico projects 14 feet from the end wall, and rests upon six finely proportioned Ionic columns. The interior of the church has been greatly improved and beautified, at a considerable expense, within a few years past Four persons only have held the office of rector since the erection of this edifice.
Rev S. F. Jarvis, D.D. Settled, July 7, 1820 ; resigned, Aug. 22, 1825.

GRACE CHURCH.
TEMPLE STREET.
After an interval of ten years from the erection of St. Paul's Church, a new Episcopal society was organized in Boston, under the name of Grace Church. In the first years of its existence, from 1829 to 1835, its growth was veiy slow. For the greater portion of that period, the public services wore held in Amory Hall, which was found amply large to accommodate the ordinary congregation. At length, by great exertions, and by the noble efforts of some of the leading members, a sufficient sum was raised to warrant the commencement of a building for the exclu- sive use of the society ; and the corner-stone was laid on the 30th of June, 1835. On the 14th of June, 1836, Grace Church was solemnly consecrated to the worship of God, by Bishop Griswold. From that period its growth has been rapid, and it is now in a highly prosperous condition, the number of communicants being abont 350.
Grace Church is situated on Temple Street. The front is of Quincy granite, in the Gothic style of architecture, of which it is considered to be a very correct specimen. The interior of the building is beautifully frescoed. The baise- ment contains a spacious lecture and Sunday-school room.
The clergymen who have held pastoral relationship with this church were at first settled only for brief periods. The following have been regularly instituted as rectors : —
Rev. Zachariah Mead. Settled, April, 1834 ; loft, 1836. Rev. Thos. M. Clark. Settled, Nov. 13, 1836 ; left, Sept., 1843. Rev. Clement M. Butler. Settled, May 24, 1844 : left, Feb. 21, 1847. Rev. Charles Mason. Settled, Sept. 1, 1847; present rector.
CHURCH OF THE MESSIAH.
FLORENCE STREET.
In September, 1843, an Episcopal society was organized in Boston, composed principally of a few of the members of Grace Church, who resided in the southern part of the city, under the title of the Church of the Messiah. For a period of about five years, the congregation met for public worship in a commodious hall, at the comer of Washington and Common Streets. The present church edifice, situated on Florence Street, was consecrated by Bishop Eastburn, on the 29th of August, 1848. It is built of brick, with a hand- some freestone front, in the Gothic style of architecture, after a design by Billings ; and is beautifully finished in the interior, with open-work roof and stained glass windows. It is a neat, commodious, and substantial building ; capable of accommodating a congregation of about 700 persons. It is a flourishing and prosperous society, and has in connec- tion with it a very interesting Sunday school, numbering about 250 scholars, under the instruction of a numerous and efficient body of teachers.
This church has had but one rector from its first organi- zation to the present day, the Rev. George M. Randall, who entered upon his duties in May, 1844.

ST. STEPHEN'S CHURCH.
PUBCHASE STREET.
A frca chur\,'u fof Ihe poor wa.s built in the year 1845, by the name of St. Stephen's. In strict order of time, this church, perhaps, should take precedence of the two last mentioned, for it had, in fact, a corporate existence, under another name, so far back as 1830, in which year, an Epis- copal city mission -was established under the pastoral care of the Rev. Asa Eaton, D.D., formerly rector of Christ Church. This continued until the year 1 83 G, when a free chapel was opened in Common Street, into #hich the City Mission became merged and incorporated. For the better accommodation of this congregation St. Stephen's Church was built. The corner-stone was laid, in Purchase Street, near Summer Street, on the 24th March, 1845, by Bishop Eastburn, and solemnly consecrated by him on the 6lh of October, 1846. The funds for its erection, amounting to S17,000, together with the additional sum of $10,000 for its endowment, were the generous donation of the Hon. William Appleton. The endowment fund was further in- creased by a bequest of $5000, made by the late Edward Tuckerman, Esq. ; and thus, the seats are made free for ever to all who desire to worship God according to the rites of the Protestant Episcopal Church. The design of the building was furnished by Upjohn. A house of refuge for the poor is also connected with this church. The Rev. E. M. P. Wells, D.D., has been the minister of this chapel, since the year 1844.
CHURCH OF THE ADVENT.
OREEN STREET.
In September, 1844, an Episcopal parish, by the name of the Church of the Advent, was incorporated ; and com- menced public services in a hall at the corner of Causeway and Lowell streets, about the beginning of the year 1845. Towards the close of the year 1847, the Congregational meetinghouse in Green Street, near Bowdoin Square, was purchased by this parish at a cost of $25,000, and thither the congregation removed in the ensuing November. They have it in contemplation to erect a more commodious edi- fice, whenever the building fund shall have reached the required amount. The Church of the Advent, soon after its organization, invited the Rev. William Croswell, D.D., to become their rector, who entered upon his duties in Nov., 1844, and who fell, struck by death, while concluding the services of the church, on Sunday, the 9th of Novem- ber, 1851. He was succeeded by the Rt. Rev. Horatio Southgate, D.D. Rev. M. P. Stiukney, the present rector, was settled in 1853.

ST. JOHN'S CHURCH.
EAST BOSTON.
On the 25th of November, 1845, a society was organized at East Boston, in connection with the Protestant Episcopal church, under the title of St John's Church. It was, at first, composed of only seven members. They met for pub- lic worship in a small store, under Ritchie Hall, which ihey continued to occupy until 1848, when they removed to a more convenient room, in which the public services were held until May, 1852. On the 11th of November, 1850, the corner-stone of the present edifice was laid at the cor- ner of Paris and Decatur streets. This Church, which is of wood, was nearly completed, when, in a violent gale in April, 1851, it was levelled with the ground. Another efibit was immediately made for its reconstruction, and in May, 1852, it was sufficiently advanced towards completion to enable the congregation to meet in the basement On Sunday, the IGth July, 1854, the body of the church was, for the first time, used for the celebration of public worship.
The Rev. Nathaniel G. Allen was the rector of this parish from October, 1848, till April 17, 1853. Rev. John Irwin was the next rector. Rev. Samuel J. Evans, the present rector, was settled in 1857.
SEAMEN'S CHAPEL.
COMMERCIAL STREET.
In the early part of the year 1845, a free missionary Episcopal chapel, for seamen, was opened in Boston, in a hall fitted up for the purpose, at the comer of Ann and Ferry Streets, and placed under the pastoral care of the Rev. John P. Robinson. In the autumn of 1849, a more convenient and commodious room was procured in Ann Street, near Blackstone. The Rev. W. Robinson's con- nection with the mission having been dissolved in No- vember, 1851, he was succeeded by the Rev. Christian Wiltberger, who entered upon his duties in the following Spring.
ST. MARK'S CHURCH.
CONCORD STREET
A society of Episcopalians was organized, as St. Mark's Church, on the 4th of April, 1851, and held their first services in the wardroom of Ward XI., in the Franklin schoolhouse. The building represented in the engraving wEis erected by the Shawmut Congregational Societj', in 1845, and was purchased by the congregation of St. Mark's Church, in September, 1851, and immediately occupied by them, in consequence of the schoolhouse in which they had previously met, having been destroyed by fire in the previ- ous August It is a neat wooden building, situated on West Concord Street, capable of seating about 400 persons. The Rev. Patrick H. Greenleaf was connected with this society from its formation till June, 1853 Rev. Cyrus F. Knight, the present rector, was settled in 1857.

UNIVERSALIST CHURCHES.
FIRST UNIVERSALIST CHURCH.
HANOTEB STREET.
In the year 1785, the society of the late Samuel Mather sold their place of worship to Shippie Townsend and others. In 1792, the then proprietors voted to enlarge the house. In 1793, Rev. John Murray, who had preached for the society for several years, was installed as pastor. In 1806, the society was incorporated by an act of the legislature. In 1838, the old house was removed, and a new and com- modious brick church erected on the same spot. It was dedicated on the first day of January, 1839.
From this society, in about half a century, have emana- ted several other societies, who have erected for themselves places of worship in the city and vicinity, all of which are fully attended.

METHODIST EPISCOPALLa.N.
FIRST METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
HANOVER STREET.
The first Methodist sermons preached in Boston, so far as any record has been preserved, were by the Rev. !Mr. Boardman, in 1771. Mr. Boardman was the colleague of Iilr. Fillmore ; and the two ministers were sent to this coun- try by the Rev. John Wesley, at the request of the small body of Methodists already gathered in the city of New York. A society was formed at the time; but for want of pastoral care was ultimately dissolved. In 1784, Rev.
William Black, who had been, heretofore, preaching in the British Provinces, visited Boston and remained about three months. He held his services in what was then called the " Sandemanian Chapel," in Hanover, near Cross Street. Large congregations attended upon his ministry ; and many referred the commencement of their religious life to his powerful discourses. With the departure of Mr. Black, these persons united with the established churches in the city ; and no organized monument of his devoted labors was left behind.
On the 9th of July, 1790, Jesse Lee, a Virginian, a Me- thodist preacher of remarkable presence, endowed with a strong mind, capable of e.xtraordiiiary physical endurance, and " full of faith and the Holy Ghost," haxing entered New England a year before, upon a preaching tour, stood behind a table, under the arms of the old elm tree, upon Boston Common. With a powerful but musical voice, he sang a hymn ; and four persons arrested by the novelty of the scene, drew near as lie knelt down upon the table, and stretthing forth his hands, ofTered up a prayer with peculiar

unction and power. It was at the close of a warm after- noon, and crowds were beginning to gather upon the Com- mon to enjoy the shade and air of Its sheltered walk, when their steps were arrested by the voice of prayer, and an immense mass of people gathered around the simple stand of the speaker, and listened to his earnest, extemporaneous discourse. One who heard that discourse has preserved his impressions of it in a permanent form. " When he entered upon the subject matter of his text," says AVare, in his me- moir, " it was with such an easy, natural flow of expression, and in such a tone of voice, that I could not refrain from weeping ; and many others were affected in the same way. When he was done, and we had an opportunity of express- ing our views to each other, it was agreed that such a man had not visited New England since the days of Whitefield. I heard him again ; and thought I could follow him to the ends of the earth."
Mr. Lee continued some time in the city, preaching in private houses, and upon the Common, to the spiritual profit of many persons; but no permanent public edifice could be obtained for their gathering. A small church was finally constructed ; and public services were held in the house of Mr. Samuel Burrill, on Sheaf Street, Rev. Jeremiah Cos- den became, soon after, their minister ; and successful ef- fort was made to secure the use of a public school-house ; from this, however, they were finally removed, — objection being made, to the early hour at which they rang the bell and assembled for worship on Sabbath morning ; the church following then the custom of Mr. Wesley to have preaching at five o'clock in the morning. They next hired one of the rooms in the " Green Dragon Tavern," which stood near the corner of Union and Hanover Streets.
Compelled to leave even these uncomfortable quarters, they hired one room after another at the " Korth End," un- til in the year 1794, the little band numbering about forty- two in its membership, resolved to build a house of worship.
The indefatigable Lee, sought aid for the struggling en- terprise at the South ; and on the 5th of September, 1 795, a lot of land was purchased, upon what was afterwards called Methodist Alley, and is now known as Hanover Avenue. A wooden building, forty-six by thirty-six was erected upon this site and dedicated amid the rejoicing of the little flock, by the Rev. George Pickering, of precious memory, on the 15th of May, 1796. It was a rough shell of an edifice, but to the troubled and persecuted society, it was a haven of unspeakable rest The building was not fully completed until 1800. The little society had received an important accession about the time of the erection of the church in the person of Col. Amos Binney, whose noble and generous character, business talents, social position, and sincere piety, were of inestimable value to the struggling church. From an exceedingly small and problematical ex-
periment, Mr.- Binney lived to see the denomination per- manently established in Boston and throughout New Eng- land.
In this old frame building on Hanover Avenue, nearly all the early preachers of Methodism of considerable note, occupied the pulpit In succession. Of the Bishops In the Methodist Episcopal Church, Asbury, Coke, Whatcoat and Hedding, were among Its occupants ; and of the ministry, the honored names of Lee, Pickering, Broadhead, Merwin, Ostrander, Wells, D'Sargeant, Kibley, Webb, &c., were numbered upon its list
In the year 1828, the church occupying this edifice having constructed a new building upon North Bennet street, It was occupied as a Seamen's Bethel, by Rev. E.T. Taylor. Upon the erection of the present Bethel it was sold, used for a while as a school-house and afterwards re- moved to Causeway street, where it still preserves its old pro- portions and is used as a carpenter's shop. It would be an interesting movement, and honor to the Methodist Church, if this venerable and memorable edifice could be rejuven- ated and applied to some religious purpose. It might be made a Mission Sabbath School, and thus become a sanctu- ary for the young, as it has been a tabernacle for the fathers.
In 1828 the church upon Hanover Avenue removed to their new building upon North Bennett Street, which was dedicated by Rev. S. Martindale, Rev. E. Wiley, now of Mel- rose, being the pastor of the church. It numbered at that time sixty members. During the whole history of this church, which as the successor of Methodist Alley has held the relation of parent to nearly all the churches of the deDomination in the vicinity, it has been noted for its extensive revivals and spirited social meetings. The names of Bonney, A. D. Merrill, John Lendray, Fillmore, Abel Stevens, Sai^eant, Pierce, Porter, and Trafton appear upon its records as successive pastors, and the place will ever be sacred In the memory of the denomination. In 1843 the church becoming so crowded, through the remarkable awakening of the preceding year, a lot of land was pur- chased upon Richmond Street, and an edifice erected for the accommodation of a new church. This enterprise was attended with prosperity, and a full and permanent congre- gation had been gathered, when. In 1849, the large gothic edifice, which had been erected at great expense by the Old North or Second Church, on Hanover Street, being offered for sale at a very low rate, the two churches, Bennet and Richmond Streets, united and consummated the pur- chase. In this noble and convenient edifice they no'. wor- ship. The pastor at the time of the union was Rev. Mosely Dwight, who was succeeded by Rev. J. Cummings. Mr. Cummings' successor was Rev. E. Cook, under whose ad- ministration the mortgage which encumbered the building was removed, ami this valuable and elegant structure, with

all its appurtenances, came without a burden into the hands of the trustees who hold it for its legitimate purposes. The building is 92 feet by 80 on the ground, and its spire rises 220 feet from the ground. Rev. Mr. Cox, an e.\cel'ent, amiable, and experienced minister, was the next pastor of the church. Kev. Wm. C. High, the present pastor, was settled in 1859.
Its relief from debt will long save this church from the peril that threatens the churches at North End from the removal of the old population and the rapid encroachment of business. And long may it stand, its tall spire a grateful beacon to the returning sailor from the sea, and its ample and elegant accommodations offering a welcome to the rich or poor who may frequent its courts.
SECOND METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
BROMFIBLD 8TKEET.
On the 15th of April, 1806, the comer stone of the Chapel upon Bromfield street, was laid by Rev. Peter Jayne, and on the following November the edifice was com- pleted and dedicated by Rev. S. Merwin. In the middle course of hammered stone on the foundation of this build- ing, is a block taken from Plymouth rock. In 1835 the chapel was raised and a commodious vestry provided in the basement, and in 1849 the building was entirely renewed wl h the exception of the outer walls. It is one of the pleasantest and best arranged audience rooms in the city. It will comfortably seat one thousand people. There are a large number of rooms about the building adapted to the various purposes of a religious society, and well ventilated and commodious vestry, arranged for every want of the sabbath school and for social meetings.
Within a short time the Society has nobly subscribed an adequate amount to remove the encumbrance of a mort- gage, so that they are permitted to enjoy the satisfaction of worshiping God in an edifice unincumbered by the claims of Mammon upon it. During the history of this church, about forty ditferent clergymen have tilled the pastoral office, following each other generally iu biennial rotation, in accordance with the custom of the denomination. Many -^qf these men were among the most marked members of the ConfTence, and their labors have been eminently blessed of God in th'„ increase and piety of the church. A large proportion of them have " ceased from their labors, and their works do follow them."
Rev. Ix>renzo Thayer^ present pastor, was settled in 1858.
METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
REVERE STREET.
In the early days of Methodism in Boston, the colored people were attracted to their religious services by their simplicity and warmth, and many of them were converted and became devotedly and intelligently pious. It was thought desirable at an early day that they should have public exercises among themselves, both for their own enjoyment and for the benefit of that portion of the city in which they resided. Col. Binney and Thomas Patten, Esq., were the first to set in motion a plan for the accomplishment of this purpose. A colored man by the name of Snowden, they heard of, as an interesting exhorter, and a devotedly pious man, connected with the Methodist Church in Portland, Me. For him they sent, and he at once entered upon the work of preaching to his brethren in private houses -and wherever he could find opportunity. A building became an indispensable necessity, and the convenient edifice upon May Street was the result of the efforts of the brethren of the M. E. Churches to provide for their spiritual wants. Here preached and prayed and sang and shouted " Samy Snowden," a man of more than ordinary abilities, a good reasoner, a lively speaker full of original and subdued wit. His earthly labors ceased a few years since, and he died widely lamented by his white, as well as colored, brethren. Rev. Elijah Grissam was his successor, a worthy man, a good minister, and a devout Christian. Rev. 'lliomas Freeman, present pastor, was settled in 1857. An interesting con- gregation meets on the Sabbath in the church, and a fine sabbath school, vrith white teachers, is also held. There are few more refreshing services held in the city, than some of the " Love Feasts " in Revere Street M. E. Church.
BETHEL CHURCH.
NORTH SQUARE.
About forty years since, a sailor, with a very marked face, and wonderfully expressive eye, but not a little rug- ged in his appearance, began to frequent the Methodist meetings in the chapel on Bromfield Street ; and after very powerful impressions, and a deep work of grace upon his heart, he began to exhibit, in his somewhat rough and un- cultivated style, extraordinary originaUty of thought, and a peculiar natural eloquence. The older members of the church, discovering the promise of usefulness, now but slightly developed, encouraged the exercise of his gifts, and aided him in his efforts to overcome the impediments aris- ing from the utter absence of text-book training. In the warmth of a rich religious experience, even before he could

read or -write, he began to exhort and preach in the sur- rounding towns with wonderful unction and with peculiar success. Finally, recommended by the official board of the church, where he was spiritually bom, Edward T. Tay- lor was received by the New England Methodist Episcopal Conference, and began his labors as a Jlethodist minister. About this time two members of this church, Wm Morley, Esq., lately deceased, and Thomas Patten, Esq., had their sympathies awakened to the spiritual wants of the seamen connected with the commerce of Boston. It occurred to these gentlemen that there was no one better adapted to this work than the zealous sailor who had been converted at their altar. Through their efforts, Mr. Taylor was ap- pointed to this work, and commenced a career of almost unexampled usefulness and success among this interesting and too long-neglected portion of our community. When, in 1828, the Bennet Street Chapel was completed, it was proposed to devote the edifice upon Hanover Avenue to the purpose of a Bethel. A board of trustees, from the two Methodist Episcopal Churches in the city, was formed ; and as the church was unable to make a gift of the property to this object, Mr. Taylor was commissioned to solicit sub- scriptions. When the plan was presented to the merchants of the city, it was received with peculiar favor; and, to secure a more general interest, it was proposed to establish a society upon as liberal a basis as possible. This was the origin of the " Boston Port Society." Its members were selected indiscriminately, — within and without the Method- ist Episcopal Church. By the constitution of the society, no denominational creed or church were to be established ; but the spiritual interests of seamen were to be sought, and
they were to hold their church relations whenever they elected to do so. In later years, however, an Independent church has been constituted, and all the ordinances of the Lord's house are administered by the pastor.
As the constitution now reads, and which is to be changed only by a large majority of the board, the pulpit is to be supplied by the New England Methodist Episcopal Con- ference ; the minister, however, to remain permanently in his place, and not to be removed biennially, in accordance with the plan of the itinerancy.
In 1833, the spacious Seamen's Bethel which now com- mands and adorns the north-western portion of our city, its fluttering banner waving a welcome to the homeless sailor, was built and consecrated to its noble purposes. And here, for more than twenty years, this earnest and sincere laborer in Christ's vineyard, has been exercising, with untiring zeal, the extraordinary talents with which God has endowed him, for the benefit of his " brethren according to the flesh." Father Taylor, as he is now affectionately called by all classes, is one of the oldest pastors of the city. Few men enjoy so wide or so enviable a celebritj'. His monument will be composed of pearls, gathered from the sea. His memory will ever be as green as the oc^n's wave, and tears, as briny as the deep, would fall from a thousand eyes, were the announcement of his departure from earth to reach the ear. Of late, his health has been delicate, and there are serious presages, written in the deepening lines upon that wonderful face, of the approaching release from mortal toils. May a life so valuable be still longer ex- tended I One of the social gatherings in the vestry of the Bethel is thus described by a late visitor : —
" By invitation, I attended one of his Monday evening prayer-meetings, in the vestry of the Bethel, in August The weather was oppressive, and, any where else, rather a heavy meeting might have been anticipated. I entered the consecrated place a little after sundown. A few faithful ones had assembled .— sailors with their wives and daughters — and a sprinkling of Christian strangers. All were seem- ingly wrapt in holy meditation. The Father not appearing, a simple and ancient song of Zion was commenced by a single voice, and speedily there was a chorus of praise. The soul of the Bethel now entered and took his place in the little sacred desk. He immediately gave out the beau- iful hymn : ' Father, I stretch my hands to thee ! ' which was sung with the spirit. He then offered such a prayer as he is wont to offer — simpIe,touching, fervent, and in which the sons of the sea, upon water and upon land, had a large share of remembrance. He now made a very few remarks that were just to the point — timely, pertinent, affectionate, and earnest, and then called upon all present to tell what the Lord had done for their souls, and to tell whether they re-

ceived any food on the Sabbath that had just passed. There was an immediate response. A weather-beaten sailor arose, and, with streaming eyes, spoke of his late fall, and of his return to God, and of his determination to ' go and sin no more.' As the sailor sat down. Father Taylor both encou- raged and warned him. Others, also, arose, and added their share to the interest of the meeting.
An interesting sabbath school meet regularly upon the Sabbath. A large congregation of seamen, officers, and sailors, are always to be found here upon the Sabbath, when the beloved shepherd is at home ; and with these a numer- ous miscellaneous crowd, of every class in the community, from the chief in the law to the highest orders in the gospel — strangers of almost every clime, and representatives of every form of faith. Who will fill such a place as this, when the attracting sun is removed from its present orbit 1
THIRD METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
CHURCH STREET.
On the 4th of July, 1S34, Rev. Abel Stevens preached thefirst Methodist sermon in the church edifice upon Church Street. The building had been erected for, and occupied by a Presbyterian church ; but upon the withdrawal of its pastor. Rev. James Sabine, to the Episcopal church, the so- ciety relinquished its house of worship. About twenty-five members from the other churches united to form the origi- nal society. Mr. Stevens was succeeded in course by Messrs. Scudder, Oltheman, Porter, Peirce, Smith, Picker- ing, Merrill, Raymond, Crowell, and Cobleigh. The latter gentleman was called to a professorship in a college in Illi-
nois ; and was succeeded by Rev. D. K. Banister, a clergy- man of peculiar excellence of character, a good preacher and a faithful pastor. Rev. Converse L. McCurdy, present pastor, was settled in 1858. In 1843, the building was thoroughly repaired, both internally and externally; and as the raising of the grade of the street has injured, in a measure, the light and comfort of the vestiy, extensive re- novations are proposed. This church has always been well attended, noted for its vigor and practical piety ; the poor and the tempted have ever found efficient aid from its membership.
FOURTH METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
NORTH RUSSELL STREET.
In 1837, Rev. Mr. Stevens, then stationed in Church Street, preached the first sermon in the Wells' Schoolhouso, Blossom Street, before the little colony of Christians from the other churches, which ultimately became the Russell Street Methodist Episcopal Church. The church was or- ganized under the pastoral care of the Rev. M. L. Scudder, and consisted of sixty members.
In 1833, an estate was purchased upon North Russell Street, upon the rear of which a commodious chapel was erected. In 1844, the building was enlarged and raised; the front lots covered with handsome edifices, and an arched entrance provided to the audience rooms of the chapel. Every convenience was provided for sabbath- school and social purposes, and the main hall is especially neat and commodious. Mr. Scudder, the first pastor, was succeeded, in time, by Messrs. Harcall, True Hatch Traf- ton, Rice, Cobleigh, and Adams.
Rev. John W. Dadmun, the present pastor, was settled in 1859.

FIFTH METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
D STREET, SOUTH IIOSTON.
As early as 1817 or '18, Metliodist services were held in private houses in South Boston. Thomas C. Peirce, after- wards a member of the New England Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, at that time a member of the Bromfield Street Church, and a lay preacher, commenced holding public services upon the Sabbath, in this part of the city ; and, being a carpenter, he obtained subscriptions and erected a small, but convenient chapel, for the use of the congregation he had gathered.
Upon his leaving the city to join the conferenco, this small body of christians not being able to support a regular ministry, the building finally came into the hands of the Baptists ; the South Baptist Church being gathered and formed within its walls. In the summer of 1834 Abel Stevens, then preaching at Church Street, was invited to hold religious services in private rooms. The interest which attended these exercises induced the friends of the movement to hire Harding Hall. This was first occupied Oct. 31st, 1834, and the church that was then constituted numbered but si.\ members. In 1836 they removed to Franklin Hall, and in 1840 their numbers had increased to 103. At this time they enjoyed the earnest and devout labors of Rev. James Mudge, through whose zealous efforts a tasteful gothic edifice was erected upon D Street, and a new impulse was given to the society. In 1852 the con- gregation had so far increased as to require additional room for its accommodation, and under the direction of Rev. E. Cook, who was at that time the pastor of the church, and whose practical wisdom was peculiarly exhibited in the management of the whole matter, the house was enlarged and beautified, and the old encumbrance which had rested heavily upon the previous building, and all the
expenses of the renewal, were fully met by the sale of the pews, and the house was entirely relieved from debt. Its ministers have been Rev. Messrs. Tracy, Howard, Mac- ready, Mudge, Dunham, Savage, Pool, Degen, Cook, and Porter. Rev. Chester Field, present pastor, settled in 1859.
SIXTH METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
MERIDIAN STREET, EAST BOSTON.
In 1830-40 Rev. T. C. Peirce, then stationed in the Bennett St. M. E. Church, held evening services in East Boston in private rooms, and so much interest was felt in those gatherings that the ward room in Lyman School House was hired, and public services were held, first by local preachers in connection with such aid as was received from the pastors of the city proper. Rev. J. W. Merrill was the first minister from conference, and during his ad- ministration preliminary steps were taken for the construc- tion of a chapel. In 1842 a small building was erected and dedicated for divine worship, which was occupied until 1845. This edifice is now used for a city school-house and stands on the junction of Meridian and Paris Streets. In 1845, under the labors of Rev. Joseph Whitman, a very extensive religious awa!iening occurred in the congre'iation, and the church was greatly increased in its numbers and pecuniary ability. At this time the present edifice standing at the junction of Meridian, Havre, and Decatur Strc;ets was erected. The house is of brick, 73 feet long by 48 in width, with galleries, and is very neatly constructed with all the modern appliances for sabbath schools and business meetings. The church has enjoyed the labors, in addition to those referred to, of Rev. Messrs. Richards, J. A. Merrill, Hempstead, Porter, and McReading. Rev. Samuel Tupper, present pastor, was settled in 1859.

HEDDING METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
SHAWMUr AVE.VUn.
The Hedding Methodist Church was organized on the 15th of Maj', 1846. It was a colony from the Church Street Church, and was first gathered in a hall upon the corner of Shawmut Avenue and Canton Street, Rev. B. K. Peirce was the first pastor of the church. His succes- sor, Rev. G. W. Frost, commenoed the work of the erection of a building for public worship ; but, his health failing, Mr. Peirce again resumed the charge. The present edi- fice, on the corner of Shawmut Avenue and South Williams Street, was finished and dedicated in 1849. It is a neat and commodious structure ; but, as the lot upon which it stands is small, and forbids enlargement, the society are already looking for another locality upon which to erect a larger edifice. Mr. Peirce was succeeded, in course, by Rev. Messrs. Street, Dennison, and Pettee. Rev. Henry W. Warren, present pastor, was settled in IS.iO.
EIGHTH METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
BENNINQTON STREET.
In 1853, the edifice of the Sixth Church having become too small for the congregation, a colony from the Sixth Church was foi-mod, a convenient hall was hired upon Ben- nington Street, and a church was constituted. Rev. Mr. Field, a gentleman of an amiable character and a fine preacher, was the pastor of this body.
Rev. T. Willard Lewis, present pastor, was settled in 1858.

church at the cor.uT of Summer and Sea Streets, and let i* in the society. Subsequently they purchased it, and con- tinued to worship there until 1852, when they sold it to the " Boston Seamen's Friend Society," for a Bethel, and built as above described on Tyler Street. This house was dedi- cated Sept. 29, 1853.
This society take the scriptures for their discipline and articles of faith, believing that if all would do so, and unite on the Bible, there would be more union and less schism in the church. They take the name " Chri^tian " because it is apostolic, and sufficient to distinguish Christ's disciples, and because it is also promotive of union.
They hold all Christians to be one in Christ Jesus ; that they should worship and commune together as the disciples of one Lord, and brethren of one family. They believe in the divinity of Christ, and the efficacy of his atonement; that without a change of heart, and holiness of life, we cannot see the kingdom of God; and that the resurrection of the dead and future retribution are cleaily taught in the Bible. The denomination numbers 1500 churches and 250,000 communii.anls. An institution of learning at Yel- low Springs, Ohio, has recently been established by them, called " Antiooh College." President, Hon. Horace Mann.

This society was instituted August 18, 1818, at which time it consisted of twelve members. In 1821 Mr. Thomas AVorcester, then a licensed preacher, was settled as minister of the society, which office he still holds.
Though meetings were regularly held for public worship, no building was consecrated for that purpose by the society till the 11th of June, 1845, when the building which they now occupy, on Bowdoin Street, was finished and dedi- cated.
This building is admirably adapted to its use, the interior being tastefully finished in Gothic style, and containing 1000 comfortable seats. At the centre of the east end is a beautiful taberuacle, used as a repository for the sacred scrip- tures. A little to the right of the centre, and in front of the chancel, is the pulpit The two corners of this end of the church are occupied by two chambers, extending from the floor to the ceiling.

The members of the society, having arrived at mature years, have expressed their belief in the doctrines of the New Jerusalem, as revealed in the writings of Emanuel Swedenborg, and their desire to live according to them. The principal doctrines of the New Jerusalem are,
1st, That there is one Gtod, who is the Lord Jesus Christ.
2d, That the sacred scriptures are divine truth.
3d, That a life according to the truths contained in the scriptures, because they are the laws of God, is the only means of s.'^lvation.

GERMAN PROTESTANT.
GERMAN EVAXGELICAl. CHURCH.
SHAWMUT STBEET, NEAK PLEASANT STREET.
Twenty years aso a few Germans resided in this city. Advanced in years, they felt very little edified by hearing the preaching of the gospel in a strange tongue. This feel- ing led to an arrangement with a teacher of ihe German language to read with them the German and English Bible on the Sabbath, as a Sabbath School. The number of
attendants increasing, they agreed to form a religious socie- ty, in which Catholics, Lutherans Reformed, and others joined, agreeing to differ in views, well contented if only the gospel could be preached to them in their native tongue. In this they succeeded in securing the services of the Rev. Mr. Schmidt. Their meetings were held in the Franklin School for a length of time. Prof Schmidt, from some cause, felt not at home here, and left the congregation under the charge of another brother minister of the Lu- ihcran Synod. When under the ministry of Mr. M'jrz, the Act of Incorporation, and the project of building a house of worship, was necessarily considered, the poorly cemented union in mere dollars and cents had come to its crisis.
Mr. Merz and some leading members of the same school, declared in their zeal that " the church should be Lutheran even if only three would remain with them." To this the more Calvinistic element of the society could not consent, feeling that the word " mine " was just as pretty as " thine " ; that they were of the same Reformation family, hating its unfortunate extremes, modified through ages and cxpe- rier.ce, on the one hand, by Lutheranism, on the other by Zuinglianism, and from historical and natural reasons, now generally known as Melancthonian-Calvinism. In this com- mon sense feeling fifty-two male membei's met the 8th of April, A. D. 1841, lo form another society on a more liberal basis, and called the Rev. J. I. Kempl, from the Lutheran Synod, New York, to become their Pastor, who labored among them faithfully for seven years. So two societies were striving to build a church and maintain public wor- ship, and all effort for their voluntary re-union, on tbe ^ide of Rev. Dr. N. Adams and others, were in vain. The re- sult was in favor of Mr. K.'s society, as the more " ready to make all becoming sacrifices for the sake of harmony, and desiring the countenance and aid of the Christian commu- nity," as it was expressed in a letter of recommendation, signed by twenty pastors of our city. The Mass. 11. M. S. aided annually with $150 or $200 fiom that time, three or four churches gave together $120, and an unknown friend a silver communion set. The society raised $1200 among themselves, which paid for the present wooden chapel in Sha^vmut street, between Pleasant and Church streets, on land not paid for, and most unfavorably located for the share of missionary labors which has to be performed among the thousands of Germans now here, coming and going as soon as they can do better somewhere else.
The society U entirely composed of hard laboring people, not possessing private property, and numbering about 500 souls, children included, as soon as they can come to Sabbath School. Pastor's salary, music, and miscellaneous expenses amount to not over $800 per aniinm. Rev. L. B. Schwarz, Pa"<tor.

SECOND ADVENT.
CHURCH OF THE ADVENTISTS.
CO UN UK OF KN-E ELAND AND HARVARD STREETS.
This church had its origin in the " Second Christian Church," of this city, under the preaching of the doctrine of the Second Advent, by Elder Joshua V. Himes, vfho was the pastor of that society, then worshipping at the Chardon Street Chapel. The congregation had become so large that in the spring of 1843 the Chapel ceased to accom- modate them, and the main body of the church, with its pastor, and some others who worshipped with them, re- moved to the Tabernacle, a large temporary building that had been erected for that purpose in Howard Street.
The Tabernacle was dedicated and first occupied on the 4th of May, 1843, from which time is properly to be dated the distinct existence of the Church of the Adventists. They remained there nearly three years, removed to " Cen- tral Hall," (Milk Street) In the spring of 1846, and In
July, 1848, returned again to the Chardon Street Chapel, where they continued till they removed to the Advent Chapel, erected for their use by the " Boston Advent Asso- ciation," at the eemer of Hudson and Kneeland Streets. A view of this Chapel is given above.
This church has encountered various vicissitudes and dis- couraging circumstances, but removed to its new place of worship. Elder Himes still being their pastor, under en- couraging auspices.

POLISH JEWS.
ISRAELITISH SYNAGOGUE.
■WARHEK STREET.
This building, which was erected in 1851, is a small wooden structure, tastefully decorated and pleasing in its appearance. It will seat about 500 persons, and has con- nected with it rooms for a school and for business meetings of the trustees of the society, and for other purposes. There are, also, in the rear, bathing rooms for the females of the society, after the ancient customs of the Israelites. The galleries of this church are set aside for the use of the fe- males of the congregation, the body of the church being occupied exclusively by the males.
The Synagogue of the Israelites were first organized in Boston in 1843, and consisted at that time of ten members with their families. The name whii;h the Synagogue adopts and by which they are incorporated, is " Ohebei Shalom," which being interpreted is, " Friends of Peace."
Connected with the Church is a school for their children, where they are taught in the ancient Hebrew as well as in the English language.
There are, also, two charitable associations made up of members of this Synagogue, the one for males and the other for females.
The services in their church are all conducted in the Hebrew language, and with all the ancient forms and cere- monies. They have the five books of Moses written on parchment, from which their Rabbi reads as part of their Sabbath service. At the present time the Rev. B. E. Jacobs oflSciates as their religious instructor, and also as teacher of their children in the Hebrew tongue. They give him the ancient title of Rabbi. Their Sabbath commences on Friday at Sundown, and ends at the corresponding hour on Saturday. Their numbers are quite rapidly increasing. They have a burial ground at East Boston.

Rev. J. W. Holman came to Boston in 1835, formed an independent church in that year, and united with this denomination. They became possessed of a house and worshipped in Causeway Street, but by some means it went out of their hands, and the church became scattered, and lost its visibility, till in 1843 its friends commenced again, and this church was organized Sept. 20th, 1844, of twenty- one members. They worshipped for a time in Marlboro' Chapel, and in Boylston Hall. In 1850 the church and society purchased the house where they now worship, of the Methodist Society, at a cost of $14,000, situate on North Bennet Street.
Rev. Eli Noyes was the first pastor, from Sep. 20, 1844, to Feb. 21, 1849, when he was dismissed. (He was their first missionary to India, and returning on account of ill health, soon commenced his labors with this people.)
Rev. Ransom Dunn was settled June 25, 1849, and re- mained till March 18, 1851. Left on account of ill health.
Rev. Daniel P. Cilley commenced his labors Oct. 4, 1851.
Rev. F. W. Straight, present pastor, was settled in 1858.

CONTRIBUTED BT THE PRESIDENT.
Harvard College, the oldest literary institution in the United States, was founded in 1636. The first class, con- sisting of nine members, graduated in 1642 ; one of whom i CoUet'e.
was the notorious Sir George Downing, who afterwards figured in England under Cromwell and Charles II. Henry Dunster was the first President, appointed in 1640, and the present incumbent is the eighteenth in succession from him. Dunster and his immediate successor, Chauncey, were edu- cated in England ; all the rest have been alumni of the

THE OBSBUVATOUT.
The Corporation, consisting of the President, Treasurer, and five Fellows, holds under the Charter granted by the Col- ony of Massachusetts Bay in 1650, and the Appendix to the same, granted in 1657. The name and style of the Corpo- ration is " The President and Fellows of Harvard College." Certain votes and acts of the Corporation, to be valid, must be confirmed or concurred in by another Board, the Overseers. This Board, in the beginning, consisted of the Governor and Deputy-Governor for the time being, and all the magistrates in the jurisdiction, together with the Presi- dent of the College and " the teaching elders of the six next adjoining towns, — viz., Cambridge, Watertown, Charlestown, Boston, Roxbury, and Dorchester." When the Province became an independent State, it was provided in the constitution that the successors of the Governor, Deputy-Governor, and magistrates should be " the Govern- or, Lieutenant-Governor, Council, and Senate of this Com- monwealth," who, together with the President of the College and " the ministers of the Congregational Churches," in the six towns above mentioned, were vested with all the rights pertaining to the Overseers of Harvard College. From 1810 to 1834, several Acts were passed, to alter and amend the " Constitution of the Board of Overseers." They resulted in substituting thirty permanent members for the ministers of the Congregational Churches in the si.x neighboring towns, fifteen ministers and fifteen laymen, to be elected by the Board itself. In 1851, the present organ- ization was adopted. The Board now consists of the Gov- ernor, Lieutenant-Governor, President of the Senate, Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Common- wealth, the Secretary of the Board of Education, and the President and Treasurer of Harvard College, together with
thirty other persons, elected by joint ballot of the Senators and Representatives in General Court assembled.-
Down to near the close of the last century, frequent grants were made by the Legislature in order to defray the current expenses of the College, and to assist in erecting some of the buildings which still remain. In 1814, ten thousand dollars a year for ten years, being part of a Bank Tax, was granted to the College ; but this also was ex- pended in buildings and otherwise, as directed or under- stood at the time. Almost the whole of the funded and productive property of the College, amounting, according to the last annual Report of the Treasurer, to about a mil- lion of dollars, is the accumulation of donations by private individuals, the friends of the College, since the present century began. It would be a great mistake, however, to suppose that this large sum is at the disposal of the Corpo- ration, so that it can be used to lessen the expenses of edu- cation, or to meet incidental charges. The donations, with but few exceptions, are pledged to special objects, from which they cannot be diverted ; and what is worse, many of them are inadequate to their respective objects, and require to be eked out from the general fund of the College, so that instead of relieving that fund, they may be said to act, in some cases, as a tax upon it.
The College yard contains a little more than twenty-two acres, and is bounded on all sides by public streets. Within this inclosure are most of the buildings occupied by the un- dergraduates as lodgings, or used for public purposes. They are as follows, arranging them according to the date of their erection : —
1. Massachusetts Hall, built in 1719-20, and occupied by students.

2. Holden Chapel, built in 1 744 : used for Recitation and Lecture Rooms.
3. HoUis Hall, built in 1 762-63 ; occupied by students.
4. Harvard Hall, built in 1764, to replace the second Harvard Hall, which was burnt in January of that year. The principal story is used for a picture Gallery and Dining Room ; the second story for Recitation and Lecture Rooms.
5. Stoughton Hall, built in 1804-5 ; occupied bv stu- dents. The first building bearing this name stood between Massachusetts and Harvard ; erected 1700, and taken down 1780.
6. Holworthy Hall, built in 1812; occupied by students.
7. University Hall, built in 1812-13 ; used for Recitation and Lecture Rooms. The offices of the President and of the Regent are also in this building.
8. Dane Hall, built in 1832, and creatly enlarged in 1845. It contains the Library and Lecture Room of the Law School, and the offices of the Law Professors.
9. Gore Hall, built in 1839-42. It contains the Public Library of the University.
10. Boylston Hall, built in 1857-58, containing an Ana- tomical Museum, a Chemical Laboratory, and a Mineralogi- cal Cabinet, with Lecture and Recitation Rooms.
11. Appleton Chapel, built in 1856-58 ; to be used exclu- sively for daily prayers, and worship on Sundays.
To these must be added the edifices owned by the Col- lege, and used for College purposes, outside the yard, —

13. Graduates' Hall, built in 1832, with large additions in 1845. The principal story is rented, with the exception of the steward's office, for business purposes: the two upper stories are mostly occupied by students.
14. The Observatory, built in 1845^6, to which is at- tached a dwelling house for the Observer.
15. Scientific Hall, built in 1848. It belongs to the Lawrence Scientific School, and contains a large and com- pletely equipped Chemical Laboratory, and the Drawing and Recitation Rooms for the Engineering Department. Near it is a wooden building, which affords a temporary, but very inadequate, accommodation for the Museum of Natural History.
16. Medical College, in Grove Street, Boston, erected in 1846. It contains the Librarj-, Museum, Laboratory, and Lecture Rooms of the Medical School.
The University comprises : —
1. The College proper, or Academical Department, founded as above mentioned.
2. The Medical School, instituted in 1782 removed to Boston in 1810.
3. The Divinity School, organized in 1816.
4. The Law School, instituted in 1817, but more liberally endowed and completely organized in 1829.

Candidates for admission to the Freshman Class in the College proper, or Academical Department, must pass a satisfactory examination in the following books, or in equiva- lents to the same: —
Latin Department. — The whole of ^'irgll ; the whole of Cjesar's Commentaries ; Cicero's Select Orations, Folsom's or Johnson's edition ; Andrews and Stoddard's Latin Gram- mar, including Prosody ; and in writing Latin.
Greek Department. — Felton's Greek Reader ; Sopho- cles's Greek Grammar, including Prosody; and in writing Greek with the Accents.
Mathematical Department. — Davies's or Chase's Arith- metic ; Euler's Algebra, or Davies's First Lessons in Alge- bra, to "The Extraction of the Square Root,' or Sherwin's Common School Algebra ; and " An Introduction to Geo- metry and the Science of Form, prepared from the most approved Prussian Text-Books," as far as the Seventh Section, or Hill's " First Lessons m Geometry."
Historical Department. — Mitchell's Ancient and Modern Geography ; Worcester's Elements of History.
For admission to advanced standing, the candidate, whether from another College or not, must appear, on examination, to be well versed in the following studies : —
1. In the studies required for admission to the Freshman Class.
2. In all the required studies, and, if after the commence- ment of the Junior year, in one of the elective studies, already gone over by the class for which he is offered.
He must also pay to the Steward, at the rate of $45 per annum, according to the standard to which he is admitted. Any student, however, who has a regular dismission from another College, may be admitted to the same standing, if, on examination, he is found qualified, without any pecuniary consideration. This charge for advanced standing is also remitted to indigent students.
Every candidate, before examination, must produce proper testimonials of a good moral character, and, if ad- mitted, must give a bond for four hundied dollars to pay all charges accruing under the laws and customs of the University. The bond must be executed by two bondsmen, who must be satisfactory to the Steward of the College, and one of them must be a citizen of Massachusetts.
The academic year is divided into two terms of twenty weeks each, with two vacations of six weeks each. Com- mencement is on the third Wednesday in July, and is fol- lowed by the Summer Vacation. Candidates for admission to the College must offer themselves for examination on the Monday before Commencement, or on the first day of a term.
The aggregate annual expenses of an undei'graduate vary with the economy of the individual, and cannot be stated with much precision. The proper College charges, including what is paid for instruction. Library, and Lecture Rooms, amount to $75 a year. Rent and care of room in the Col- lege buildings, $20 ; in private houses the charge is higher. Text- books average about $12. The price of board varies from $2. 75 to $4 per week.
Pecuniary assistance is provided for meritorious students among the undergraduates. Ten of the best scholars, need- ing aid, receive annually $300 each from the Trustees of the Thayer Fund. Ample provision is thus made for those

who stand at the head, or near the head, of their respective classes. There are also four Shattuck scholarships, yielding an annual income of $150 each; the scholarship of the class of 1814, $115; the Abbot scholarship, $100; and two Saltonstall scholarships, $90 each. Several other scholarships will become available in a few years.
Deserving students, whose rank is not such as to entitle them to a scholarship, receive aid from the beneficiary fund, — a consolidation of various bequests and d nations which have been made to the College from time to time for this purpose. The annual amount distributed from this source is about twelve hundred dollars, in sums ranging from twenty to forty dollars, according to the merits of the appli- cants. About the same sum may also be obtained, as a loan, from the Trustees of the Loan Fund, which was raised a few years ago by subscription among the friends of the College, for the accommodation of indigent and worthy students.
There are eight monitorships, with a compensation vary- ing from twenty to eighty dollars a year ; and prizes for excellence in composition and declamation, amounting in all to two hundred and seventy dollars annually ; both of which may be considered as an addition to the beneficiary funds of the institution.
The expenses of members of the Professional and Scien- tific Schools need not exceed those of undergraduates, except where this is caused by heavier charges for instruc- tion and apparatus.
In the Divinity School the charges for instruction, rent and care of room and furniture, and use of text-books, amount to $75 per annum ; but this is much more than offset in the case of indigent students, by an annual appro- priation of about $200 each, from beneficiary funds.
In the Law School the fee for tuition, including the use of the Law and College Libraries, and the text-books, is $50 a Terra.
In the Scientific School, if, as is usually the case, the whole time is given to a single department, the fees are, — ■
For instruction in Chemistry, $50 a Term ; with an ad- ditional charge of 850 for Chemicals and the use of apparatus.
For instruction in Engineering, $50 a Term. For instruction in Botany, from April to the end of the Term, $45.
In the other departments, the fees for special instruction are agreed upon with the Professors.
In the Medical School, the fees for the winter course of Lectures amount in all to $80. A summer course of in- struction by recitations and lectures, with daily visits at the hospital, has just been established, the fee for which is $100. CEmdidates for admission to the several schools must fur- nish satisfactory evidence of good moral character, and give
bonds for the payment of their term bills, as in the case of undergraduates. A deposit of money is sometimes accepted instead of a bond.
For admission to the Law School no examination is re- quired ; but the candidate, if not a graduate at some college, must be nineteen years of age. To enter the Scientific School, the student must be eighteen years of age. If he proposes to study Engineering, a knowledge of Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonomety is also required before admis- sion. If he proposes to study Chemistry, the same, together with an acquaintance with Stockhardl's Elements of Chem- istry, or some equivalent. Candidates for admission to the Divinity School, if not graduates of any College, must pass a satisfactory examination in the studies necessary to an English Education, and also in Latin and Greek.
The folio wing is a summary of the students attending the several departments of the University at the commence- ment of the last academic year : —
Professional Students and resident Graduates, — Divinity Students, 17; Law Students, 121 ; Scientific Students, 61 ; Medical Students, 118; Resident Graduates, 8: 325.
Undergraduates, — Seniors, 89; Juniors, 94; Sopho- mores, 130 ; Freshmen, 96 : 409. Total, 734.
The Public Library of the University is for the use of the ofiicers and students in all its departments. It contains 80,000 volumes, together with a vast collection of unbound pamphlets. To this are to be added the large and very complete Law Library at the Law School, containing 14,000 volumes ; the Theological Library at the Diviniiy School, containing nearly 1 1 ,000 volumes ; the Medical Library, at the Medical School, containing 2,000 volumes ; and the Phillips' Astronomical Librai"y, at the Observatory, '' taining 1,000 volumes. I'he Libraries of the Societies among the Undergraduates contain about 15,000 volumes. In all, 122,000 volumes.
The other means and facilities of instruction are among the amplest and most valuable iu the country. They com- prehend, —
1 . Apparatus for illustrating the mathematical and physi- cal sciences, and the application of science to the arts, in- cluding a complete set of the celebrated Olivier models.
2. A Mineralogical Cabinet.
3. A Geological and Zoological Museum, collected by Prof Agassiz : already in some departments unequalled by any in the world.
4. Two Anatomical Museums, the Boylston Museum at Cambridge, and the Warren Museum at the Medical Col- lege in Boston.
5. Two large and completely equipped Chemical Labora- tories,— one for the use of the Lawrence Scientific School, and the other for the Undergraduates. The Medical Col- lege in Boston has also a Laboratory.
64
SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY.
6. A Botanic Ganlen, with a new ConserTatory, much enlarged. The Garden contains about seven and a half acres, and encloses two dwelling houses, — one for the Pro- fessor and the other for the Gardener.
7. The Astronomical Observatory, supplied with all the necessary instruments, among which is the Great Equatorial. A dwelling-house is attached to the Observatory, in which the principal observer resides.
The importance of attending to physical education is felt more and more. Through the hberality of its friends, it is e-xpected that the College will soon be able to erect and furnish a Gymnasium, and thus provide the means of regu- lar and systematic e.xercises in all seasons.*
The College belongs to no religious sect. A large pro- portion of the students live in the neighborhood, and are allowed to pass their Sundays at homo. The rest attend worship either in the College Chapel, or in some church of their own denomination, where seats are provided for them free of expense. The Preacher to the University and Plummer Professor of Christian Morals is required, by the terms of his office, to use all " suitable means to warn and guard the studen's against the dangers to which they are exposed, to supply as far as may be their need of home in- fluences, and to promote among them an earnest Christian faith and life."
MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY,
In the preceding article on Harvard College, reference is made to the Geological and Zoological Museum, collected by Prof. Agassiz, and to its location in a very inadequate ou'iiuing near Scientific Hall. Since the publication of the article in the Boston Almanac, the collections of Professor Agassiz have received the merited consideration of the State and the public, and a sum amounting to over two hundred and twenty thousand dollars has been provided for the purposes of the Institution, of which the existing col- lection is the basis.
As this Institution promises to be of national interest and importance, and indeed a subject of interest to other na- tions, we give the annexed statement of its organization, collected from the " Boston Daily Advertiser."
The organization of the Museum of Comparative Zoology has involved several questions of grave importance, all of which have been most happily solved. The peculiar and separate interests involved in the matter made it specially important that the foundations should be rightly laid. The experience of the Dudley Observatory has shown the world the misfortunes that may arise when there is not a perfectly good understanding among all the parties con-
•The Gymnasium is now Bupplied.
cemed, even in the best of undertakings. The Museum of Comparative Zoology has been founded with a care and foresight which we fesl sure utterly preclude the possibility of any future difficulty.
The Museum obtains its resources from divers quarters, as follows : —
(1) The " Trustees of the Ikluscum of Comparative Zoo- logy," incorporated by the legislature of the last session, is a board of fifteen members, viz. : six State officers ex-officiis (the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Chief Justice, Secre- tary of the Board of Education, President of the Senate, and Speaker of the House of Representatives), — Louis Agassiz, and Wm. Gray ; together with Dr. Walker (Presi- dent of the University), and six gentlemen, who may be considered as representing the private donors. The State made a donation of $100,000 towards the objects of the Museum.
(2) The private subscription to the same object exceeds $70,000.
(3) William Gray, from the estate of the late Francis C. Gray, had previously made a donation of $50,000 to the President and Fellows of Harvard College, in trust for the maintenance of such a museum ; and the President and Fel- lows had formally accepted the trust, and bound themselves to certain conditions, placing this museum in the control of a particular Faculty, named by Mr. Gray, as described below.
(4) The collection already made, it will be remembered, is stored in a building belonging to Harvard College, to which institution also about half of the collection itself be- longed, having been purchased of Mr. Agassiz. (5) The other half belongs to Mr. Agassiz himself, until presented to the new organization.
(G) The salary of Mr. Agassiz, moreover, is paid from the College funds.
And, lastly : —
The land upon which the proposed buildings arc to bo erected, five acres in extent, in tha heart of the city of Cambridge, and consequently of very considerable value, is likewise presented, for the use of the museum, by the College.
It therefore became a very delicate matter to arrange properly the relations between the two great corporations, viz., — the new corporation of Trusteks, who are the cus- todians of the Slate grant of $100,000, and of the private grant of $70,000; and the corporation of Harvard College, who are the custodians of Mr. Gray's donation of $50,000, who pay Mr. Agassiz's salary, who give the land, and half the collection.
All parties have applied themselves to the solution of the problem with diligence, and with a single eye to promoting

65
the great objects of the institution. The Trustees ap- pointed a coramittee consisting of Governor Banks, Chief Justice Shaw, Secretary Boutwell, and William Gray, to confer with the corporation of the college. The coramittee were met with great generosity by the college authorities ; and the result of patient and careful delibrations is a series of Articles of Agreement, which have been formally rati- fied by both corporations.
The Articles of Agreement arc unalterable, except by common consent. They begin with a preamble, which, we believe, was drawn by Chief Justice Shaw, rehearsing with singular perspicuity the actual relations of the parties, de- claring that the two corporations " mutually agree to anlte the means with which they have been or may hereafter be respectively intrusted for that purpose, for the establish- ment, maintenance, and practical usefulness of the Museum of Comparative Zoology," and accordingly agree upon and establish a series of Rules and Regulations for the govern- ment, occupation, care, and management of the said insti- tution.
The rules and regulations are based upon the following principles, which we believe will commend themselves as correct and just: —
I. The whole property in the Museum — land, build- ings, furniture, and collections, present and future — is vested in the Trustees, in trust for the uses declared by the articles of agreement.
II. Each corporation — the Trustees and the college — retain and maneige the funds which they now hold, accord- ing to the trusts on which the same were given.
III. Each corporation retains the power to appropriate from the funds under its control such sums as it may deem expedient.
IV. The Trustees erect the buildings.
V. The Lawrence Professor of Zoology in the Scientific School of Harvard University is the Curator or scientific head of the Museum.
VI. There is a special Faculty for the Museum, already appointed under Mr. Gray's trust : this faculty consists of the president of the university for the time being, and four other t^entlemen, namely, Louis Agassiz, Jacob Bigelow, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and Jeffries Wyman. As vacan- cies occur in this Faculty, they are to be filled by the re- maining members, subject to the approval of the college corporation. This Faculty is to spend the money appro- priated by the two corporations for the increase of the museum ; and to determine the use of the museum for sci- entific and general purposes.
VII. The salary paid to the professor by the College shall be regarded as full compensation for his services as Curator.
Vrn. There is also to be an officer called the Director of the Museum, to be chosen solely by the Trustees. This officer is to fix the times, places, and manner, for the re- ception of visitors to the Museum ; " and such arrangements shall be made with a view to secure to the public the freest enjoyment of arid access to the Museum consistent with its use for scientific and educational purposes."
IX. At present the " Director " and the " Curator " are one and the same person, viz., Professor Agassiz. But, if at any future time these offices should be held by different individuals, it is provided that the " Faculty," subject to the articles of agreement, or such future articles as may be adopted by both corporations, shall define the relative du- ties of both officers, and superintend their execution.
The rules and regulations are twelve in number, but the nine heads which we have presented above embrace the principal points.
Cotemporaneously with the execution of these articles, the College Corporation makes a deed to the trustees of the land, about five acres in extent. This is the land op- posite Divinity Hall, on the west side of Divinity Hall Avenue protracted, and extending as far as the estate of Mr. Palfrey, including the brook, to which Mr. Agassiz at- taches great importance as afTording a place for the preser- vation and cultivation of certain living specimens.
The plan of the building contemplates ultimately a very large structure, consisting of a main building three hundred and sixty feet in length and sixty in width, with a wing at each end, two hundred feet by sixty. The main building will be placed so that its principal front shall face a sort of court yard, enclosed by the wings ; and Divinity Hall (but with a considerable space between) will make the fourth side of this area.
It is proposed only at present, however, to undertake the construction of one-half of the north wing, viz. : a building eighty feet long and sixty feet wide. This will contain all the necessary work-rooms of the Museum, besides a hall of sufficient capacity to contain the specimens now on hand. The expense of this building is estimated to fall within $50,000, or considerably less than the funds now in the hands of the Trustees, from private subscription.
If It should not prove practicable to complete the build- ing to the full extent contemplated, the north wing alone will always form a homogeneous and handsome structure. There is no doubt that the Trustees will have ample funds for this purpose, as soon as the State grant becomes avail- able.
The great enterprise is thus fairly underweigh ; and Mas- sachusetts has a State Institution, carefully and safely organized, of which the people may justly be proud.
A meeting of the Trustees of the Museum of Compara-

tive Zoology was held at the Council Chamber in the State House June 9th, Gov. Banks presiding. Mr. Ticknor, from the Committee of the Museum, submitted a report in regard to the wants of the Musuem before it can go into efficient operation for the purposes of public instruction. After confering with Prof. Agassiz, these wants were found to be two in number, as follows : —
" First, funds to purchase the materials needful for the preservation and arrangement of specimens already in pos- session of the musuem, and to pay the persons who will bo employed in this service, not to exceed, in the aggregate, three thousand dollars, more than two-thirds of which will be expended in the purchase of glass jars ; Second, funds to purchase in Europe specimens in Pala;ontology which he deems indispensable for proper instruction in such a mu- seum, — to cost in the agregate not more than five thou- sand dollars."
The committee submilted orders authorizing the disburse- ment of the sums mentioned above, and the report was ac- cepted, and the votes proposed were unanimously adopted
Professor Agassiz subsequently sailed for Europe. The building is commenced, and the opening of the Museum, under its new arrangements, will be anticipated with in- creased interest
ACADEMIES AND SEMINARIES IN NEW ENGLAND.
In the New England States, there are about 241 Acade- mies and Seminaries, located as follows :
In Maine, 55
New Hampshire, . . 31
Vermont, 35

In future editions, it is hoped that many of these Institu- tions may appear in illustration. The following view pre- sents a specimen : —
BIRKE ACADEMY, IIARllE, VT.
BARRE ACADEMY,
BA.BRE, VT.
The object of the course of instruction adopted at this Institution is to furnish the youth of both sexes the means of beginning and pursuing, as far as the student's connection with the school will permit, a sound and practical education ; and, to accomplish more fully this design, two regular courses of study are prescribed.
The English Course embraces the ordinary branches ; together wiih the higher Mathematics, Political Economy^ Moral and Intellectual Philosophy.
The Classical Course comprises Greek and Latin sufficient to be well prepared for admission to any New
England College, Ancient Geography, History, Algebra, and Geometry.
In both these departments. Composition and Declamation constitute a part of the regular exercises.
Students who wish to remain and prepare themselves for advanced classes in College, or for teaching, can continue their course of study so far as it may be desired.
The Principal and his associate teachers exert themselves to make Barre Academy not only a pleasant but a profitable home for the student.
Application for further information respecting the school may be made to J. S. Spaclding, Principal, Barre, Vermont.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF MASSACHUSETTS.
Side by side with the churches of Massachusetts have sprung up continuously, since the origin of her existence, her thousands of schoolhouses. We can only state, very briefly, the general features of the school system, and the latest statistics
The State laws require of the cities and towns to bestow upon every child school instruction. The limit of this re- quirement is very generally far surpassed by the voluntary action of the people.
The interest of the State in the system of education, is committed to the general management of a Board of Edu- cation, constituted as follows: —
Board of Education. — The Governor and LieuL-Gov- emor, ex-officiis ; Isaac Davis, Worcester ; Russell Tomlin- son, Plymouth ; Alonzo H. Quint, West Roxbury ; Henry Wheatland, Salem ; Ariel Parish, West Springfield ; Cor- nelius C. Felton, Csmibridge ; Wm. A. Stearns, Amherst ; Erastus O. Haven, Boston.
Secretary of Board of Education and State Librarian, George S. Boutwell, Grotou. Treasurer of Board of Edu- cation, George B. Emerson. Assistant Secretary of Board of Education, Samuel C. Jackson, Andover.
The interests of the cities and towns are confided to School Committees, whose powers and duties are prescribed by law.
By a statute of 1859, the School District system hitherto existing is abolished, and the schools in each city and town are placed under the exclusive control of the School Com- mittee. This statute takes effect in 18G0.
A statute of 1859 requires of each School Committee to print its annual report in a prescribed form, and forward two copies to the Secretary of State. Thus is begun a valuable uniform collection, in convenient form for historical uses, as well as present diffusion of useful information.
The position of the State in relation to the Public Schools is shown by the following extracts, which present the sub- stance of the twenty-second annual report of the Board of Education made to the Legislature of 1859.
NORMAL SCHOOLS.
" The Normal Schools which come under the particular supervision of the Board are accomplishing the great objects for which they were established, by sending out annually an able, accomplished, and efficient corps of teachers to labor in their profession in the schools of the State.
" The s'atutes of the Commonwealth require that all teachers should be of good moral character, have sufficient literary qualifications, capacity to govern, and be of good
behaviour. In addition to these qualifications, one of the great objects of normal school instruction is, to insti'uct the pupils in the art or science of teaching all the branches of study pursued in our common schools. jJJormal schools are no longer an experiment. They are fully established as part of the Massachusetts system of education.
" The Normal School at Westfield, under the charge of John W. Dickinson as principal, with three assistant teach- ers, has not been able to accommodate all who have applied for admission into the institution. This school receives young men and women, and at the last term fifteen persons wer.' rejected for the want of room to accommodate them. The school contains one hundred and twenty-five scholars, a larger number than in any previous year.
" At Bridgewater the Normal School is under the care of Marshall Conant as principal, with two eissistant teachers. This school receives young men and women as pupils, and contained ninety scholars at the commencement of the present term, which is a greater number than in any former term.
NOBMAL SCHOOL, SALEM,
" Tlie Normal School recently established at Salem is exclusively for young women, and is under the charge of Alpheus Crosby, with three assistant teachers, and contains one hundred and nineteen scholars, which is a larger num- ber than the school has contained since its establishment. These institutions, containing four hundred and nine pupils who are qualifying themselves for teachers, have able, com- petent, and efficient instructors. Yet the demand upon them for teachers for the common schools is greater than they can supply. At a future time it may be necessary to establish a fifth school for teachers in order to supply the demand of the public.
" The Normal School at Framingham, under the charge of George N. Bigelow as principal, with three assistant teachers, is exclusively for the education of young women as teachers, and contained at the last term seventy-five

scholars, a larger number than at any former term since the school has been established at Framingham.
" It affords the Board great pleasure to say that these schools are progressing in the accomplishment of the great objects for which they were founded, and have been sus- tained ; that they are enjoying public confidence, and are in a condition of unexampled prosperity." teachers' institutes. " Massachusetts was the first State in the Union to afford legislative aid to teachers' institutes. Four thousand two hundred and fifty dollars were appropriated the last year by the legislature towards defraying the expenses of these gatherings of teachers. The expenditures have been S3,500. Ten institutes have been held the past year in the following towns, viz. : Westborough, Milford, Spencer, Springfield, Adams, Gardner, Provincetown, Fairhaven, Bemardston, and Haverhill. The number of members has been fifteen hundred and forty-five, which is a larger num- ber than in any former year, with one exception. The session of each institute continues for five days. The teach- ers are convened in these institutes in the different parts of the Commonwealth for the purpose of receiving instruction in the art or science of teaching. Learned men, skilled in didactics, are employed to attend and give instruction, and much valuable information is acquired by those who avail themselves of their advantages. It is not the intention that these institutes should in any manner conflict with the in- struction given in the Normal Schools. To them we look with increasing confidence to educate thoroughly in the principles of the science of teaching.
SCHOLARSHIPS.
" The legislature, by an Act passed the 27th of April, 1853,
established forty-eight scholarships, to aid in educating and training young men for the office of principal teachers in the High Schools of the Commonwealth. The State was divided by the Board into forty sections, according to the statute ; and in the selection of young men who have received the bene- fits of these scholarships, the Board have adhered strictly to all the provisions of law. The first selection of twelve young men for said scholarships was made in 1854, and twelve in each succeeding year, till the whole number was filled in March, 1857. In the first class of twelve who en- tered on the collegiate course in the autumn of 1854, four failed, cither in consequence of change of purpose, moral obliquity, want of health, or because they fell below medio- crity in their standing in the college class. Of the twelve who entered college in 1855, seven have lost the benefits of the scholarships for some of the above causes. Of the twelve who commenced their college course in 1856, eight have failed. In 1857, of the twelve, four have failed to pre- sent to the treasurer of the Board the required certificate of the president. All the vacancies which have occurred in these scholarships have been filled by the Board. Still at the close of the college year in 1858, only forty out of the forty-eight presented the required cerlificates, and received their annuities. Those who first received the advantages of these scholarships, graduated the present year. None of them have as yet availed themselves of the benefits of the normal school instruction, as is provided for in the law creating the scholarships. Although many of those who have been admitted to the advantages of these scholarships have failed to retain them, the Board would not recommend any relaxation of the requirements of the statutes. No one ought to hold the responsible position of a teacher in our high classical schools, who is not a strictly moral man, and

who is not above mediocrity as to talent and scholarship. These scholarships are yet an experiment. If by means of them, twelve able, competent, accomplished, and well-quali- fied teachers can be furnished annually for our High Schools, it will be a great point gained in our system of popular education.
AGENTS OF THE BOAED.
" By a resolve of the legislature, passed April 3, 1857, the Board of Educahon were ' authorized to appomt one or more suitable agentff.'tg visit the towns and cities of the Commonwealth for the purpose of inquiring into the condi- tion of the schools, conferring with the teachers and com- mittees, lecturing upon subjects connected with education, and in general of giving and receiving information in the same manner as the Secretary of the Board would do if he were present.' By virtue of this authority, the Board ap- pointed Rev. B. G. Northrop, of Framingham, who entered upon the discharge of the duties July 1, 1857, and has continued to act until the present time by reappointment Cornelius Walker, Esq., of Boston, was appointed and en- tered upon the duties of his office, Oct 1, 1857, and con- tinued to act as agent of the Board by reappointment till April 1, 1858. General H. K. Oliver was appointed agent in September last, and has labored principally in the county of Essex. For an account of the acts and doings of these agents, the Board refer the legislature to the Report of the Secretary of the Board.
teachers' associations.
" On the 10th day of May, 1848, the legislature passed a law for the encouragement of teachers' associations in each county in the Commonwealth. The law authorizes " the governor to draw his warrant on the treasurer of the Com monwealth for the sum of $50 in favor of each county asso- ciation," whose president and secretary shall certify under oath that the asociation has held semi-annual meetings of not less than two days each for the express purpose of pro- moting the interests of common schools.
" Under the provisions of this statute, associations have been formed inmost of the counties of the Slate. The meetings of these associations are attended by the secretary and agents of the Board when it is practicable. The advan- tages derived from these institutions are perceptible both in the teachers and in the schools which they represent. Much valuable instruction is given and received, and a greater interest is promoted V the cause of common schools.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
" Tn lookin" over the public schools of the State, the gen- eral aspect is cheerful and encouraging. While the legis- lature is aiding and assisting in their onward progress by
I .
liberal appropriations, distinguished and enlightened indi- viduals are giving their cordial co-operation and influence to accelerate their advancement Towns and cities are exerting themselves to give them effect and power by pro- viding for them all the necessary facilities for a thorough elementary education."
" It appears from the statistics that the number of children between the ages of five and fifteen years has only increased 1,856 in the last year, while the mean average attendance for the year in the public schools has increased 10,607, — a very gratifying result. The statistics also show that more money has been raised for schools ; that teachers are better paid ; that the number of schools has been augmented, and that the number of scholars attending schools has greatly increased.
" While we witness improvements in the system of com- mon school education, the question will arise, To what ex- tent is education to be provided for the rising generation ? On the proper moral, mental, and physical culture of the future citizen hangs the fate of all that will render the State prosperous and happy. If it is true that men are capable of self-government, that in our country the sovereignty is in the people, it is clear that the smallest amount of education should never be less than to qualify each citizen for the social and civil duties which he will be called upon to dis- charge as one of the sovereign people of this republic. In our system of education the moral element is too often neglected. If there was a more rigid observance of the requisitions of the law by all the teachers of the public schools in the State in communicating moral instruction to all the pupils committed to their care, we should have less occasion for reform schools, prisons, and penitentiaries. Our system of education knows no distinction in social condition ; it seeks all the youth between the ages of five and fifteen years, rich or poor, high or low, native or foreign, and seeks to give them that mental, moral, and physical culture which will qualify them to discharge the social and civil duties of citizens. For more full information relative to the common school system and its results, — the Normal Schools, Teach- ers' Institutes, Agents of the Board, and Teachers' Associa- tions, the Board refer the legislature to the Report of the Secretary, and the numerous tables accompanying it. <
SCHOOL FUND.
" The whole amount of the School Fund on the first day of June, 1858, was $1,522,898.41, the income of which was about ninety-three thousand dollars. The unexpended balance to be added to the principal was $1,843 68.
" The Secretary of the Board has given the origin and history of the School Fund, and its salutary effect on the system of public schools, especially in securing reliable sta- tistics and co-operation and harmony between the people of

the State and the legislature. He shows the utility of the fund, and the reasons why it should not be diminished, but increased. The Board cordially recommend to the favora- ble consideration of the legislature the statements and sug- gestions of the Secretary of the Board, and especially the proposition to increase the fund until the principal shall amount to three millions of djUars."
From the Keport of the eflicient Secretary of the Board of Education, Ex-Governor Boutwell, we subjoin the fol- lowing : —
" The following summary of statistics shows the principal facts in regard to the common schools of the State, —

" It is reasonable to expect that the State will soon de- rive an extraordinary revenue frooi the sale of lands in the city of Boaton. Tho anticipated receipts are, for the most part, unpledged and unappropriated ; and I therefore deem this a fit occasion to present a brief history of the Massachu- setts School Fund, its means of usefulness, and the imjwr- tauce of its Increase." ....
"In January', 1833, the House of Representatives, under an order introduced by Mr. Marsh, of Dalton, appointed a committee ' to consider the expediency of investing a por- tion of the proceeds of the sales of the lands of this Com- monwealth, in a permanent fund, the interest of which should be annually applied, as the legislature should from time to time direct, for the encouragement of common schools.' The adoption of this order was the incipient measure that led to the establishment of the Massachusetts School Fund. On the 23d of the same month, Mr. Marsh submitted the report of the committee. The committee acted upon the expectation that all moneys then in the treasury derived from the sale of public lands, and the entire proceeds of all subsequent sales were to be set apart as a fund for the encouragement of common schools; but as blanks were left in the bill reported, they seem not to ha^■e been sanguine of the liberality of the legislature. The cash and notes on hand amounted to 5234,41 S.32 ; and three and
SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY,
71
a half millions of acres of land unsold, amounted, at the esti- mated priceof forty cenisperacre,tol,400,000 dollars more ; making together a fund with a capital of $1,634,418.32. The income was estimated at $98,065.09 ; it was also stated that there were 140,000 children the State, between the ages of five and fifteen years ; and it was therefore ex- pected that the income of the fund would permit a distribu- tion to the towns of seventy cents for each child between the aforenamed ages. This certainly was a liberal ex- pectation compared with the results that have been attained. The distributive share of each child has amounted to only about one-.hird of the sum ihen contemplated. The com- mittee were careful to say, ' It is not intended, in establish- ing a school fund, to relieve towns and parents from the principal expense of education, but to manifest our interest in, and to give direction, energy, and stability to, institu- tutions essential to individual happiness and the public welfare.' In conclusion, the committee make the following inquiries and suggestions : —
" ' Should not our common schools be brought nearer to their constitutional guardians ? Shall we not adopt mea- sures which shall bind, in grateful alliance, the youth to the governors of the Commonwealth ? We consider the appli- cation, annually, of the interest of the proposed fund, as the establishment of a direct communication betwixt the legis- lature and the schools ; as each representative can carry home the bounty of the government, and bring back from the schools returns of gratitude and proficiency. They will then cheerfully render all such information as the legisla- ture may desire. A new spirit would animate the commu- nity, from which we miuht hope the most happy results. This endowment would give the schools consequence and character, and would correct and elevate the standard of education.
" ' Therefore, to preserve the purity, extend the usefulness, and perpetuate the benefits of intelligence, we recommend that a fund be constituted, and the distribution of the income so ordered, as to open a direct and more certain intercourse with the schools; believing that by this measure their wants would be better understood and supplied, the advantages of education more highly appreciated and improved, and the blessings of wisdom, virtue, and knowledge carried homo to the fireside of every family, to the bosom of every child.' The bill reported by this committee was read twice, and then, upon Mr. Marsh's motion, referred to the next legisla- ture.
" In 1834, the bill from the files of the last general court, to establish the Massachusetts School Fund, and so much of the petition of the inhabitants of Seekonk as related to the same subject, were referred to the Committee on Education.
" In the month of February, Hon. A. D. Foster, of Worces-
ter, chairman of the committee, made a report, and submitted a bill which was the basis of the law of March 31, 1834. The committee were sensible of the importance of establish- ing a fund for the encouragement of the common schools. These institutions were languishing for support, and in a great degree destitute of the public sympathy. There were no means of communication between the government and the schools, and in some sections towns and districts had set themselves resolutely against all interference by the State. In 1832, an effort was made to ascertain the amount raised for the support of schools. Returns were received from only ninety-nine towns, showing an annual average expen- diture of one dollar and ninety-eight cents for each pupil."
" The subject of self-taxation annually is important in connection with a system of free education. It is the expe- rience of the States of this country that the people them- selves are more generous in the use of this power than are their representatives ; and it is also true that when the power has been exercised by the people there is usually more interest awakened in regard to modes of expenditure, and more zeal manifested in securing adequate returns. The private conversations and public debates often arouse an interest which would never have been manifested had the means of education been furnished by a fund, or been distributed as the proceeds of a general tax assessed by the government of the State.
" I have no doubt that much of our success is due to the fact, that in all the towns the question of taxation and its amount is annually submitted to the people. It is quite certain that the sum of our municipal appropriations never could have been increased from $387,124.17 in 1837, to $1,341,252.03 in 1858, without the influence of the statisti- cal tables that are appended to the Annual Reports of the Board of Education ; and it is also true that the materials for these tables could not have been secured without the agency of the school fund. Our experience as a State confirms the wisdom of the reports of 1833 and 1834 ; and I unreservedly concur in the opinion that a fund ought not to be sufficient for the support of schools, but that such a fund is needed to give encouragement to the towns, to sti- mulate the people to make adequate local appropriations, to secure accurate and complete returns from the committees, and finally to provide means for training teachers and for defraying the necessary expenses of the educational de- partment." . . . "By the law of 1849, chapter 117, the income was to be apportioned among those towns which had raised by taxation the sum of one dollar and fifty cents for the education of each person between the ages of five and fifteen years. This provision is now in force." . . .
"The limitation of the Act of 1834, establishing the Fund, and of the Revised Statutes, was removed by the law of 1851, chap. 112 ; and the amount of the Fund was
72
SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY.
then fixed at one million and five hundred thousand dollars. By the Act of 1854, the principal was limited to two mil- lions of dollars." ....
" On the 1st of June, 1858, the principal of the Fund was $1,522,898.41, including the sum of $1,84.3.08, added during the year preceding that date. In this statement no notice is taken of the rights of the School Fund in the Western Railroad Loan Sinking Fund." ....
" When the Fund was instituted, public sentiment, in regard to education, was lethargic, if not retrograding. The mere fact of the action of the legislature lent new importance to the cause of learning, inspired its advocates with additional zeal, gave efiiciency to previous and subse- quent legislation, and, as though there had been a new creation, evoked order out of chaos." ....
" By the institution of the School Fund provision was made for a system of annual returns from which has been drawn a series of statistical tables, that have not only ex- hibited the school system as a whole and in its parts, but have also contributed essentially to its improvement.
" These statistics have been so accurate and complete for many years, as to furnish a safe ba.'^is for legislation ; and they have at the same time been employed by the friends of education as means for awakening local interest, and stimulating and encouraging the people to assume freely and bear gracefully the burdens of taxation. It is now easy for each town, or for any inhabitant, to know what has been done in any other town ; and, as a consequence, those that do best are a continual example to those that, under ordinary circumstances, might be indifierent The establishment and etJiciency of the school committee system is due also to the same agency. There are, I fear, some towns that would now neglect to choose a school committee, were there not a small annual distribution of money by the State ; but, in 1832, the duty was often either neglected altogether, or performed in such a manner, that no ap- preciable benefit was produced. The superintending com- mittee is the most important agency connected with our system of instruction. In some portions of the State, the committees are wholly, and in others they are partly, re- sponsible for the qualifications of teachers ; they every- where superintend and give character to the schools, and by their annual reports they exert a large influence over public opinion. The people now usually elect well-quali- fied men, and it is believed that the extracts from the local reports, published annually by the Board of Education, constitute the best series of papers in the language upon the various topics that have, from time to time, been con- sidered.* By the publication of these abstracts, the com-
• An eminent friend of education, and an Englishman, speal^ing of the Reports for the year 1856-7, Bays : "The views enunciated by your local
mittees, and indeed the- people generally, are made ac- quainted with every thing that has been done, or is at any time doing, in the Commonwealth, Improvements, that would otherwise remain local, are made universal ; infor- mation, in regard to general errors, is easily communicated, and the errors themselves are speedily removed ; while the system is, in all respects, rendered homogeneous and effi- cient.
" Nor does it seem to be any disparagement of Massaohu- setis to assume, that, in some degree, she is indebted to the School Fund for the consistent and steady policy of the legislature, pursued for more than twenty years, and exe- cuted by the agency of the B )ard of Education. In this period Normal Schools have been established, which have educated a large number of teachers and exerted a power- ful and ever-increasing influence in favor of good learning. Teachers' Institutes have been authorized, and the experi- ment successfully tested ; agents of the Board of Educa- tion have been appointed : so that it is now po.'sible, by the aid of both these means, as is shown by accompanying re- turns and statements, to afibrd each year to the people of a majority of the towns, an opportunity to confer with those who are specially devoted to the work of education. In all this period of time the legislature has never been called upon to provide money for the expenses which have thus been incurred ; and though a rigid scrutiny has been exer- cised over the expenditures of the educational department, measures for the promotion of the common schools have never been considered in relation to the general finances of the Commonwealth. While some States have hesitated and others have vascillated, Massachusetts has had a con- sistent, uniform, progressive policy, which is due in part to the consideration already named, and in part, no doubt, to a popular opinion, traditional and historical in its origin, but sustained and strengthened by the measures and experience of the last quarter of a century, that a system of public in- struction is so important an element of general prosperity as to justify all needful appropriations for its support.
" It may, then, be claimed for the Massachusetts School Fund, that the expectations of those by whom it was estab- lished have been realized ; that it has given unity and efficiency to the school system ; that it has secured accurate and complete returns from all the towns ; that it has, conse- quently, promoted a good understanding between the legis-
comm'tteeg, while they hare the sobriety indicative of practical knowledge, are at the same time enlightened and expansive. The writers of such re- ports must be of inestimable aid to your schoolmasters, standing as they do between the teacher and thu parent, and exercising the most wholcsomo influence on both. Let me remark, in passing, that I am struck with the power of composition evinced io these provincial papers. CU nr exposition, great command of the best Eoglish, correctness, and even elegance of style, are their characteristics."

lature and the people ; that it has increased local taxation, but has never been a substitute for it ; and that it has ena- bled the legislature, at all times, and in every condition of the general finances, to act with freedom in regard to those agencies which are deemed essential to the prosperity of the common schools of the State.
" Having thus, in the history of the School Fund, fully justified its establishment, so in its history we find sufficient reasons for its sacred preservation. While other communi- ties, and even other States, have treated educational funds as ordinary revenue, subject only to an obligation on the part of the public to bestow an annual income on a specified object, Massachusetts has ever acted in a fiduciary relation, and considered herself responsible for the principal as well as the income of the fund, not only to this generation, but to every generation that shall occupy the soil and inherit the name and fame of this Commonwealth.
" It only remains for me to present the reasons which render an increase of the capital of the fund desirable, if not necessary. The annual income of the existing fund amounts to about ninety-three thousand dollars, one-half of which is distributed among the towns and cities, in propor- tion to the number of persons in each between the ages of five and fifteen years. The distribution for the year 1857-8 amounted to twenty cents and eight mills for each child."
"It was contemplated by the founders of the School Fund, that an amount might safely be distributed among the towns, equal to one-third of the sums raised by taxation ; but the State is really furnishing only one-thirtieth of the annual expenditure. A distribution coiTesponding to the orif inal expectation is neither desirable nor possible ; but a substantial addition might be made without in any degree diminishing the interest of the people, or relieving them from taxation."
" In view of the eminent aid which the School Fund has rendered to the cause of education, with due deference to the wisdom and opinions of its founders, and with just regard to the existing and probable necessities of the State, in connection with the cause of education, I earnestly favor the increase of the School Fund by the addition of a mil- lion and a half of dollars.
" Nor does the proposition for the State to appropriate annually $180,000 in aid of the common schools seem un- reasonable, when it is considered that the military expenses are $65,000, the reformatory and correctional about $200,- 000, the charitable about $45,000, and the pauper exjjenses nearly $250,000 more, — all of which will diminish as our schools are year by year better quaUfied to give thorough and careful intellectual, moral, and religious culture.
" This increase seems to be necessary in order that the Massachusetts School Fund may furnish aid to the common
10
schools during the next quarter of a century, proportionate to the relative influence exerted by the same agency dur- ing the last twenty-five years. Nor will such an addition give occasion for any apprehension that the zeal of the peo- ple will be diminished in the least. Were there to be no increase of population in the State, the distribution for each pupil would never exceed forty cents, or about one-fifteenth of the amount now raised by taxation.
" So convinced are the people of Massachusetts of the importance of common schools, and so much are they ac- customed to taxation for their support, that there is no oc- cas'on to hesitate, lest we should follow the example of those communities, where large funds, operating upon an unedu- cated and inexperienced popular opinion, have injured ra- ther than benefited the public schools. The ancient policy of the Commonwealth will be continued; but whenever the people see the government, by solemn act, manifesting its confidence in schools and learning, they will be encourjiged to guard and sustain the institutions of the fathers."
In accordance with the suggestion of the Board of Edu- cation, the Legislature provided for the increase of the School Fund, in the following enactment : —
An Act to increase the School Fund, and io grant aid to the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Tufts, Williams, and Amherst Colleges, and the Wesleyan Academy at Wilbra- liam, out of the proceeds of the sales of the Back Bay Lands.
Sect. 1. The avails of the sales of lands belonging to the Commonwealth in the Back Bay, shall be paid into the treas- ury, to be held, invested, andapplied in accordance with the provisions of the resolves of the year one thousand eight hundred and fifty-seven, chapter seventy ; and the moiety of such avails, which, by the provisions of said chapter, inures immediately to the use of the Commonwealth, and which by the ninety-sixth chapter of the statutes of the year one thousand eight hundred and fifty-eight, is styled the " Bay Lands Fund," shaU be held, invested, and appropriated as follows, that is to say : —
I. The whole of such moiety, until the sum of three hundred thousand dollars shall have been so disposed of, shall be employed for the redemption of the scrip of the Commonwealth issued in the year one thousand eight hun- dred and fifty-six, in accordance with the provisions of the third section of chapter two hundred and thirty-five of the acts of that year.
II. After such sum of three hundred thousand dollars shall have been received into the treasury, one-half of the avails of the sales of such moiety, shall, as fast as received, be added to the Massachusetts School Fund, for the purpose of increasing the principal sum thereof.

Sect. 5. This act to take efiect from and after its pas- sage. [April 2, 1859.]
We now present the following article from the " Educa- tional Year-Book " for 1858, showing the system of Boston Schools : —
THE BOSTON SYSTEM OF FREE SCHOOLS.
[Prepared for the "American Edacatioaal Year-Book," by lion. John D Philbrick, Superintendent of Public Schools, Boston.]
" In the year 1635, the freemen of the town of Boston, in town meeting, agreed ' to entreat Philemon Permont to be- come schoolmaster for the teaching and nurturing of their children.' This was the origin of the present Public Latin School, and also of the system of Free Public Schools of the city of Boston. The school thus established was from the first a classical school, with a master able to fit youth for the University. Two more schools were established in 1G82, 'for teaching boys to write and cipher; ' and others were soon after opened to teach reading, spelling, and the elements of English grammar. No provision, however, was made for the education of girls at the public expense till the year 1789, when they were permitted to attend the ' reading and writing schools ' for a part of the j-ear. It was not till 1828 that females were allowed to attend the public schools during the whole school year. Primary schools were first established by public authority in 1818.

The English High School, designed for boys only, was es- tablished in 1821. The City Normal School, for the edu- cation of female teachers, wasopened in 1852 ; and in 1855 was so far modified in its plan as to constitute also a High School for girls ; and has since been denominated the Girls' High and Normal School.
" The selectmen of the town had the entire charge of the schools, and all matters pertaining to them, until the year 1 792, when, in town meeting, twelve persons were chosen, who, with the selectmen, constituted the first School Com- mittee of the town of Boston. On the adoption of the City Charter, in 1823, the aldermen took the place of the se- lectmen, as a part of the School Committee. The Board of School Committee remained thus constituted till 1835, when, by a special act of the Legislature, it was provided that twenty four persons, annually elected by the people, two from each ward of the city, tc^ether with the Mayor as chairman, and the President of the Common Council, should compose the School Committee. The Primary Schools, at the time of their establishment, were placed un- der the control of a committee, consisting of one member for each school, elected annually by the School Committee. This Primary School Committee was abolished in 1855, and aU the public schools of the city were placed under the management and control of a Board of School Committee, consisting of seventy-four members, viz. : six elected by the people of each ward of the city, to hold office for three years, two being chosen annually ; and the Mayor and the President of the Common Council, — the Mayor being Pre- sident of the Board.
" At the first meeting of the Board in each year, a Se- cretary is elected, and his salary fixed, and the following Standing Committees, consisting of five members each, are appointed by the President, viz., on Elections, on Rules and Rculations, on Salaries, on Accounts, on Text- Books, on School-Houses, on Music, on the Latin School, on the English High School, on the Girls' High and Normal School; and also a committee, consisting of more or less members, on each district In law the city is only one school district ; but, for convenience in the management of the schools, the city is divided into as many districts as there are Grammar School Houses. The District Committees make quarterly examinations of the Grammar and Primary Schools under their charge, and report their condition, in writing, to the Board; they also nominate to the Board all the teachers appointed in their respective districts. All teachers are elected an- nually by the Board, and their salaries are fixed at the same time.
" The office of Superintendent of Public Schools was es- tablished m 1851. This officer is elected annually by the
School Committee. He has a seat with the Board, and makes a quarterly report in writing.
" The schools embraced in the system are as follows : —
" Latin, in Bedford Street, Francis Gardner, Principal ; 1 sub-master, 4 ushers, 185 pupils. Candidates for admis- sion must be ten years of age. The course is six years. Annual expense for tuition, S8,974.74.
" English High, in Bedford Street, Thomas Sherwin, Principal; 2 sub-masters, 2 ushers, 126 pupils. Candidates for admission must be twelve years of age. The course is three years, with an advanced course of one year. Annual expense for tuition, $9,025.89.
" Girls' High and Normal, in Mason Street, William H. Seavey, Principal ; 6 female assistants, 143 pupils. Candi- dates for admission must be fifteen years of age, and not over nineteen. The course is three years. Annual ex- pense for tuition, $5,625.
" There are 19 Grammar Schools. Candidates for admis- sion must be seven years of age. Boys are allowed to re- main till fourteen years of age ; girls, till sixteen.

Winthrop, and the Adams Grammar School buildings, to which the new Frankhn, on Ringgold Street, has since been added. These five structures are similar in respec; to size, plan, and style of architecture. They are well adapted to our system of organization and classification of Grammar Schools ; combining, in a high degree, economy of space with convenience of arrangement in regard to school-rooms, clothes closets, corridors, staircases, and warm- ing apparatus. They are noble edifices, and are creditable to the city." ....
" In the design of the Lincoln School House, which is lo- cated on Broadway, near K Street, South Boston, it was the intention of the accomplished architect, J. G. F. Bry- ant, Esq., to combine all the advantages of the interior plan of our best buildings, with an effective and tasteful exterior, and this, too, without any material increase of expense. A comparison of the external view of this fine building, as ex- hibited in the cut, with the style of those before erected, will show the improvement in this respect which has evi- dently been achieved." ....
" It presents a correct and well-proportioned front ; hav- ing a recessed centre and two slightly projected wings, with a high rusticated basement of freestone, and with arched openings throughout. The central doorway is a feature of considerable elegance; and the single, double, and triple windows throughout the front, are grouped with much pro- priety and harmony of effect. The introduction of a hand- some balcony to the three central windows of the third story serves to mark and emphasize that portion of the composition ; and the bold and correct profile of the main cornice crowns the whole with a marked dignify of style, to which it is believed that none of the earlier structures of this class can lay any rightful claim. The crowning fea- tures of the building are its Mansard roof and its cupola; forming together the most pleasing and imposing parts of the structure." ....
" It has not yet been determined how many seats shall be placed in each room. This school-house, like all those which have been erected within the last ten years, is in- tended to furnish accommodations in each room for one teacher and the requisite number of pupils. By the rules of the School Committee as they now stand, the maximum number of pupils to each teacher is 56 ; and, if this number of seats is placed in each room, the building will accommo- date 784 pupils.
" The School Board, by a unanimous vote, gave to this school the name of " Lincoln," as a just tribute of respect and appreciation of the present worthy mayor of the city, who has presented, as a token of his interest in the school, a large and valuable tower clock, which is to adorn the cu- pola, and to teach the great lesson of punctuality to succes- sive generations of pupils."
THE FRANKLLN MEDALS.
The Institution of the Franklin Medals took place in the year 1792, and have since been one of the most interesting, and we sincerely believe, useful features in the schools. These are of silver, six in number, presented on the day of the annual exhibition, to the most deserving pupils, — "general scholarship taken into consideration," — in each of the respective boj's' schools, that is full cr nearly full. They originated from the following clause of the will of Dr. Franklin, who died April 17,1790: —
" I was born in Boston, New England, and owe my first instructions in literature to the free grammar schools estab- lished there. I therefore give one hundred pounds sterling, to my executors, to be by them, the survivors or survivor of them, paid over to the managers or directors of the free schools in my native town of Boston, to be by them, or those person or persons, who shall have the superintendence and management of the said schools, put out to interest, and so continued at interest for ever, which interest annu- ally shall be laid out in silver medals, and given as honorary rewards annually by the directors of the said free schools, for the encouragement of scholarship in the said schools belonging to the said town, in such manner as to the discre- tion of the selectmen of the said town shall seem meet."
This donation has been successfully apphed. The fund amounts to $1,000, which is invested in five per cent city stock. The interest is annually appropriated for purcheising medals, which are distributed in the schools.
A little more than two years after Franklin's decease, this gift became available, and a Committee, consisting of William Tudor, Esq., Rev. Mr. Clarke, and Mr. Charles Bulfinch, was appointed " to ascertain the expense of procuring medals to carry into efi'ect the intention of the late Dr. Franklin, in his donation." The Committee re- ported in the matter, awarding twenty-one medals, — three to the Latin, three to each of the Grammar, and three to each of the Writing Schools. That report has been the basis of apj)ortionment from that time to this, although the fund amounts to but $1,000 vested in five per cent city stock, yielding only $50 per annum, while the cost of the 68 Franklin Medals for 1848, amounts to $136, — thus leaving more than one half the " Franklin " Medals to be paid for out of the city treasury.
We have thought it worth while to have a fac-simile of the oriirinal Medal engraved, from the drawing on recorf. On one side is an open book, supported by two pens crossed, encircled by the words " The Gift of Franklin." In June, 1795, it was determined that the device on those designed for the Latin Grammar School should be a " pile of books, the words — detur dignion — inscribed on the same side."
78
SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY.
On the revei-se of ihe onginal Medal, were the worda found in the fac-simile.
The inscription on the reverse of the Latin Medals differed slightly from the others. It ran " FrankUn's donation, ad- judged by the School Committee of the town of Boston, to A. B."
We have inserled the name of Dr. Warren, because it stands as (he very first on ihe record, he being then a pupil of the Latin School.
Through some means — certainly not by the authority of the phraseology in the will, — the custom has been perpet- uated of giving these medals to hoys only. When Franklin went to the schools, to be sure, only boys attended upon them ; but this makes no law against bestowing his medals upon female pupils. To remedy this inconsistency, the School Committee, in 1821, voted to give an equal number to the girls, calling them " City Medals."
A REMINISCENCE.
A good story is told of the Boston boys who attended the school that was kept in West Street, during the Revolution. lu November, 1776, the General Court ordered four brass cannon to be purchased for the use of the artillery compa- nies in Boston, Two of these guns were kept in a gun- house that stood opposite the Mall, at the corner of West Street. The school-house was the next building, and a yard inclosed with a high fence was common to both. Major Paddock, who then commanded the company, having been heard to express his intention of surrendering these guns to the British army, a few individuals resolved to secure for the
countrj' a property which belonged to it, and which, in the emergency of the times, had an importance very dispropor- tionate to its intrinsic value.
Having concerted their plan, the party passed through the school-house into the gun-house, and were able to open the doors which were upon the yard, by a small crevice, through which they raised the bar that secured them. Tlie moment for the execution of the project was that of the roll-call, when the sentinel, who was stationed at one door of the building, would be less likely to hear their operations.
The guns were taken off their carriages, carried into the school-room, and placed in a large bo-x under the master's desk, in which wood was kept Immediately after the roll- call, a lieutenant and sergeant came into the gun-house to look at the cannon, previously to removing them. A young man who had assisted in their removal, remained by the build- ing, and followed the officer in, as an innocent spectator. When the carriages were found without the guns, the ser- geant exclaimed, " By G — , they're gone ! I'll be d d
if these fellows won't steal the teeth out of your hcEid, whilrf you're keeping guard." They then began to search the building for them, and afterwards the yard ; and when they came to the gate that opened into the street, the officers observed that they could not have passed that way, because a cobweb across the o])ening was not broken. They next went into the school-house, which they examined all over, except the box, on which the master placed his foot, which was lame, and the officer, with true courtesy, on that ac- count excused him from rising. Several boys were present, but not one lisped a word. The British officers soon went back to the gun-house, and gave up the pursuit in vexation. The guns remained in that box for a fortnight, and many of the boys were acquainted with the fact, but not one of them betrayed the secret. At the end of that time, the person who had vrithdrawn them, came in the evening with a large trunk on a wheelbarrow ; the guns were put into it and carried up to a blacksmith shop at the South End, and there deposited under the coal. After lying there for a while, they were put into a boat in the night, and safely trans- ported within the American lines.
SOCIETIES, LIBIIAE.IES, ETC
Boston has always been noted for the n^ultiplicity of its societies, for the furtherance of objects which commended themselves to the judgment of its citizens.
A large amount is expended through the agency of these societies for the benefit of the poor.
Shattuck's census for 1845 contains a statement of the
donations made chiefly within the previous twenty years, by " citizens of Boston, towards objects of a public nature, of a moral, religious, or literary character," prepared mainly by Hon. Josiah Qulncy, and Hon. S. A. Eliot. The gene- ral siunmary of the statement adds up thus : —

jects of a religious character, . $1,120,219.75
2. For purposes of instruction, . . 1,116,128.16
3. For charitable purposes, . . . 2,272,990.51
4. For miscellaneous objects, . , . 438,321.39
Total,
$4,992,659.81
This includes only donations of a more public character. Mr. E. estimates, that if it should include what flows in a more private under-current, it would make a near approach to that given openly, and would amount to nearly $10,- 000,000. To this might be added what the city has given, in its corporate capacity, for the support of the sane and insane poor, and for other charitable purposes.
PUBLIC LIBRARIES.
Boston has long been well supplied, as compared with other cities, with both public and private libraries. The most important is the library of the Athenseum. This, with that of the American Academy, which is in the same build- ing, contains over 70,000 volumes.
The library at Harvard College has also over 84,000 volumes.
The different libraries very well represent the different branches of knowledge. That of Harvard College, the Historical Society, and of the Boston Library are rich in collections relating to the early history of the country, and particularly of New England. The State Library is one of the most complete in the country in its collection of statute law.
Several new libraries have been recently started, under favorable auspices, for the improvement of young men.
The new City Library promises to realize the expecta- tions of its most sanguine friends. It has already a most valuable collection of boolcs, and with every prospect of an increase, which will render it one of the largest and most useful in the country.
The following list embraces those among the most im- portant : —

BOSTON ATHENJSUM.
The above illustration is a view of the front elevation of the new building erected for the Boston Athenasum, on the southerly side of Beacon, between Bowdoin and Somerset streets. It is 114 feet in length ; of irregular breadth, cov- ering the entire space between the street and the Granary BuryinCT Ground ; and GO feet in height In the design of this building several objects were to be regarded : — First, a library ; second, suitable places for the exhibition of works of art; and third, a museum for miscellaneous collections ; beside the usual offices for such a building. The want of unity of plan, together with the extremely irregular form of the lot, and the slightly disproportionate height of the stories, made the design one of considerable difficulty, which was sought to be obviated in effect by presenting to the eye a succession of horizontal lines from the base upwards toward the cornice. The elevation is in the later Italian style of architecture, and resembles, in the general arrangement, some of the works of Palladio, though some of the details belong to a still later style. The material is of Patterson free stone, known here as " Little Fall gray rock," the color of which is a light gray, slightly varying in different stones, and the texture considerably harder than the free stones in general use. The building is 10 feet back from the street, and the ground space in front is surrounded by a bronze lacquered iron balustrade, with stone coping.
The basement story is constructed of solid masonry, sup- porting the first floor upon groined arches of brick ; a room is here fitted up for the use of the janitor aud his family. Here also are a furnace with flues, conducting the heat to all parts of the building ; rooms for fuel, binding and pack- ing books, apparatus for hoisting to the upper story, &c.
81
SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY,
The entrance to the building is into the first story, by a doorway 14 feet high by 10 feet broad. It opens on a vesti- bule, or main entrj-, 32 by 28 feet, which contains staircases ascending to the upper stories, and lighted from the roof and large windows in front. From this vestibule, which is finished in beautiful style of architecture, doors open to all the rooms in the building.
In the first story is a hall 80 feet in length, used as a Sculpture Gallery, entered through the vestibule directly opposite the front door. It is surrounded by a row of iron columns opposite each window pier, for supporting the floors above. Fitting into these columns above are still others supporting the third floor, thus making continuous supports to the floors of each storj', in addition to the walls. On the right of the vestibule are two apartments, used as reading rooms, one in the front for newspapers, the other in the rear for other periodicals. On the left of the vesti- bule is the Trustees' room. All these apartments are fin- ished in appropriate ornamental style.
The second story is appropriated to the library. The main hall extends the entire length of the rear of the build- ing, and is surrounded by an iron gallery, accessible by iron spiral staircases. It is divided by an archway, one copart- ment displaying the books in cases lining the walls, the other in alcoves between the pillars. It is highly finished, in Italian style, with decorated ceiling. For advantages of light, air, retirement, and an open southern aspect, this hall can hardly be surpassed. The foregoing is an interior view of this room.
In front of this hall are two rooms ; one on the right is the librarian's room, the other on the left for miscel- laneous collections, both finished like the library, with iron
galleries and spiral iron staircases. They are capable of containing 30,000 volumes.
The third story is used for pictures, and is divided into four apartments. The side walls are but 13 feet high, so that no picture can be placed too high to be seen dis- tinctly. The light is admitted to each apartment by a skylight, and transmitted through a horizontal ground glass window.
The building is heated by a cast-iron steam furnace, requiring but one fire, and the hot air distributed and the various apartments ventilated by means of flues within the centre walls. The Cochituate water is carried through- out the building, which is furnished with water closets, and other conveniences connected therewith. Gas is also distributed throughout, and so arranged as to be appli- cable to the exhibition of works of art, as well as to ordinai-y purposes.
In the year 1848, the corporation purchased the library of General Washington, at a cost of upwards of $4,000. This sum was contributed by about one hundred gentlemen of Boston, Salem, and Cambridge ; seventy of whom sub- scribed fifty dollars each for this object. In the year 1846, the Athenaeum realized the sum of twenty-five thousand dollars, the gift of the late John Bromfield, " three fourths of its annual income to be invested in the purchase of books, and the remainder to be added to the capital." Mr. James Perkins gave for the use of the institution, in 1821, his own costly mansion in Pearl Street, which was occupied for library purposes until June, 1849, and which was sold in February, 1850, for the sum of $45,000. Mr. Thomas H. Perkins and Mr. James Perkins, Jr., in 1826, gave $8,000 each for the then librar)- ; and $36,000 was afterwards subscribed by various citizens through the efl'brts and influ- ence of Messrs. N. Bowditch, F. C. Gray, George Ticknor, and Thomas W. Ward. The total cost has been, for land. $55,000 ; and for the building, SI 36,000.

PUBLIC LIBEART, BOTXSTON 8TEEET.
yet it was not until the year 1852 that a Free Public Li- brary was really established for the use of the inhabitants of Boston.
At an early period after the formation of the Board of Trustees, Joshua Bates, Esq., a distinguished merchant of London, and a native of Massachusetts, evinced a great in- terest in the Institution by presenting to the city the sum of fifty thousand dollars for a fund, the incom« of which should be expended in the purchase of suitable books. This and the thousand dollars previously given by Hon. John P. Bi^elow, and the munificent gift of ten thousand dollars by Hon. Jonathan Phillips, and the bequest by the lamented Hon. Abbott Lawrence, of ten thousand dollars, form the four funds, which produce an annual income of $4,2C0 ex- clusively for the purchase of books of permanent value.
By the munificence of other individuals who have had the interest of the Library at heart, among whom should be mentioned Mrs. Sally L K. Shepard, J. Ingersoll Bowditch, Esq., and the lately deceased Saitiuel Appleton, Esq., and James Brown, Esq., a considerable amount has been re- ceived, which, together with a large portion of the annual appropriations of the City Council, has been expended for the more immediate purchase of books for supplying the current demand of those who now avail themselves of the privileges of the Library. A large number of books have also been received from liberal-minded citizens.
On the 17th of September, 1855, the corner-stone of the new Library Building was laid with appropriate ceremonies, by his Honor J. V. C. Smith, Mayor of the city, in pres- ence of the Members of the City Government, the Com-
missioners and Trustees, the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, and several of the past worthies of the city and benefactors of the Library, and a vast con- course of the citizens generally. Addresses were made on this occasion by Hon. R. C. Winthrop, President of the Board of Commissioners, and his Honor the Mayor. The trowel used on this occasion was returned to the President of the Board, for preservation in the Library, and an instru- ment likewise used, combining the square, level and plumb, was presented to the Most Worshipful Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, to be deposited in the ar- chives of the Grand Lodge as a memorial of the event.
The comer-stone, laid at the north-east corner of the foundation, is a massive hammer ashler of Connecticut sandstone, weighing, by computation, about five tons, and measuring in length 5 feet 11 inches, in breadth, 3 feet G inches, and in height 3 feet 2 inches. The cavity in the bottom of the stone contains a metal box, in which the following articles were placed, and hermetically sealed by Di:. N. B. ShurtlefT, in behalf of the commissioners, viz : —
1 — A Crystallotype likeness of the Commissioners, in a group.
2 — Crystallotypes of the Trustees of the Library, His Honor the Mayor, the Chairman of the Committee of Ar- rangements, of the Board of Aldermen, and of the Common Council.
3 — A complete set of the Silver and Copper Coins of 1855.
4 — Franklin and City Medals.

A second box, constructed of lead, contained a copy of each of the newspapers of the day, and also the last weekly newspapers published in the city.
The building is 82 feet in front, 128 feet deep, and two stories in height, besides the basement. The lower or base- ment story is situated below the level of the sidewalk, and is lighted on all sides from an open area. The rooms in this story are used chiefly for storing and packing, and for the other conveniences of the Library, such as rooms for furnaces and fuel, and also apartments for the usual Li- brary work.
The first story of the building contains the large hall of entrance, which opens directly into the room for the dis- tribution of book s to readers and borrowers. The room for distribution, which occupies the central part of the story on the first floor, also serves as a conversation room. This room is connected with a large Hall, in the rear of the building, having a gallery and twenty alcoves, calculated
to contain about 40,000 of the books most frequently demanded for use. On the front of the building, and entered only from the room of delivery, are two reading rooms, one on the east for ladies, and one on the west, amply supplied with the periodicals of the day, for general use.
The second or principal stoi-y, which is tha prominent feature of the building, is one large hall, approached by Aisitors only by the staircase in the Entrance Hall. This Hall, which by calculation will contain more than 200,- 000 volumes, is planned with reference to a lucid arrange- ment of the books. Besides the alcoves on the floor, it has two galleries, each containing an equal number of alcoves. The Hall is so contrived that it has ten alcoves on each of its sides, and the same number in each of its gal- laries, making GO alcoves in all. Each alcove contains 10 ranges of shelves, and each range 10 shelves. The object of this decimal arrangements of shelves is to render the Library moie manageable than it could otherwise be under any other arrangement, and also to simplify all the details connected therewith. This grand Hall is chiefly lighted from the ceiling, although the windows in the front and rear wall will admit much light.
Beneath the principal story, and immediately over the delivery-room, is an entresol or half-story, designed for workrooms and storerooms.
At the corners on the rear of the building are towers for stairs and other conveniences.
The building is constructed of the very best bricks that can be procured, and the ornamental portions are of sand- stone. The whole building is strictly fire-proof, and par- ticular attention is paid to the heating and ventilation. All the floors are constructed of bricks and iron, and no wood entered into their construction. The roof is covered with copper, and the gutters are of the same material and stone. Mr. Nathan Drake, the well known builder, had the con- tract for the walls and floors of the building.
NEW BUILDING OF THE MASSACHUSETTS CHARITABLE MECHANIC ASSOCIATION.
The official ceremonies connected with the laying of the cornerstone of this edifice on the corner of Chauncy and Bedford Streets, took place September 30, 1857, in presence of the officers and many members of the Association, Mayor Rice, and several members of the City Council, and about 1 000 spectators.
Pres. Wightmau delivered an appropriate and interesting address, after which the corner-stone was duly laid. The stone, which was placed at the southeast corner of the building, is a block of New Jersey sandstone, weighing 2\

city. It is intended to be in good style, without any affec- tation of ornament whatever. The lower stoiy is in one great room, for banking or other purposes ; the second contains small halls, with library and committee rooms attached. The third story is devoted to the great hall for meetings of the Association, with rooms for the direc- tors, &c.
The building is about 65 by 90 feet, and is of light free- stone. The style is Italian — Romanesque — the windows arched, excepting in the angles of the third story. In the centre, on both fronts, is a projection of two stories, com- bining the doorway and principal windows In one composi- tion, consisting in the first stages of panelled piers, bearing an arch above which is a cornice, and in the second of a window, with niches at each side, decorated with a Corinthian oilier. The other openings in the lower and second stories are double arched with columns and pilasters, with foliated capitals. In the third story, the centre space on Chauncy Street is occupied with three niches and pedestals intended for statues of Thought, Labor, and Charity, — the centre one, of course, being devoted to the virtue. On Bedford Street, the space is occupied by windows. The Hall is liirhted by si.\ windows, each a little more than a semicircle in form.
A rich cornice with modillions and dentils surmounts the building, which is covered at the angles with pavilion roofs of the mansard form, the faces broken with ornamental dormer windows, and in the centre by a receding roof not seen at all in the perspective from the street.
This Association holds a conspicuous position in the his- tory and the progressive career of Boston. The vene- rable Joseph T. Buckingham, well known in his former long and able editorial career, thus speaks of the Associa- tion in the opening portion of its "Annals : " —
" The institution which is now known by the name of the ' Massachusetts Charitable Mechanic Association ' was organ- ized in the year 1795. From small and almost insignificant beginnings, it has become, in its maturity, powerful and im- portant, and exercises an imposing and salutary influence on the civil, social and industrial condition of the city of Boston.
" During the troublous and perplexing times which pre- ceded the Revolution, some of the mechanics of Boston performed essential servire in resisting the oppressive mea- sures of the British government; and the whole body of them, with a very few exceptions, were active and vigorous in opposition to arbitrary power. Without the advantage which might have been derived from a formal organization, as a party, they seemed to act, as it were, by intuition. Doubtless there were associations of individuals, — drawn together by feelings of common interest and a sense of com-
mon danger, — in which measures of resistance, perhaps of retaliation, were devised and matured. Meetings of ' Lib- erty Boys,' — choice spirits of the age, — were frequently held, in places not frequented by the public, the proceed- ings of which were not divulged, and whose decisions were known only by succeeding events. These secret and con- fidential assemblages of mechanics (called caucuses*) were upheld and encouraged by the Hancocks, the Adamses, the Otises, the Warrens, and others, whose counsels were con- sidered as oracular. Such was the general and unlimited confidence reposed in a few of the most active and resolute, that the multitude generally adopted, without hesitation, the course of action which they seemed to have decreed. From the passing of the Stamp Act to the evacuation of Boston by the British troops, the mechanics were, proverbially, prompt, energetic, and efficient in the execution of all projects designed to secure personal freedom and political independ- ence.
" After the revolutionary war and the acquisition of na- tional independence, the mechanics of Boston acted a conspicuous part in the establishment of a constitutional government. In 1788, the Constitution of the LTnited States was subjected to a long and elaborate discussion, in the Convention of Massachusetts. Its opponents were nu- merous, and its friends began to fear that it might be re- jected. Some of those who opposed its adoption were heard to say that it would not have been adopted but for outside influence. The Boston mechanics were important agents in securing its ratification. They held repeated meetings at the Green Dragon tavern, passed resolutions adapted to operate on the convention, and adopted an address to that body, which was carried up and presented by a mass of me- chanics and tradesmen, forming an imposing procession, led by Paul Revere and his associates. This manifestation of popular sentiment, operating on some of the leading mem- bers opposed to the constitution, it has been said, decided the fate of that instrument for Massachusetts."
The Triennial Exhibitions of American Manufactures and Mechanic Arts, given under the auspices of this Asso- ciation, are of world-wide celebrity. From the Report of the Eighth Exhibition, in 1856, we make the following extracts : —
" These Exhibitions have now become one of the perma- nent institutions of our times. They afford an opportunity, not otherwise obtained, for the ingenious mind to become acquainted with the various improvements of the age ; the latest discoveries in science, and the most recent application
• There is a current opinion tliat the word caucus originated from tho fact that these eecret meetings were frefiuentlj held in premises o<Tupied by caulkers and gravers. 1 tbinlf I have seen in an old Lewspaper, of tory politics, a reference to a caulker^s meetins.

of them to the useful arts are brought to view ; and, by the system of awards, which stimulates to excellence, and by the report of competent and impartial judges, true merit becomes appreciated, while the worthless and impracticable is condemned.
" In addition to the social influence which the contributors themselves exert upon each other, by thus being brought tocether, they derive a direct pecuniary benefit, as their works are thus brought to the knowledge of the great mass of the people, and an easy market is secured for their intro- duction and sale.
" This Exhibition was the Eighth that has been held un- der our direction ; and we may congratulate the Association upon its success. It exceeded all those that have been pre- viously held, in the number and character of the contribu- tions, as well as the patronage of the public. The space we occupied was larger than usual. In addition to Quincy and Faneuil Halls, the upper hall, with the adjacent armories, were devoted to the Musical Department, making a grand exhibition in itself; while such was the display in the Ma- chinery Section — always one of the most interesting fea- tures of the Exhibition — that we were forced to curtail the space usually allotted to Agricultural Implements and Heating Apparatus. Although there was such a multitude of tastes and wishes to be consulted, yet, we believe that the contributors were generally satisfied and pleased with our arrangements for their benefit.
" The E.xhibition was in operation three weeks, having been opened to the public on "Wednesday, September 10th, and closed on the evening of October 1 st
" The number of contributors was seventeen hundred. The articles exhibited far exceeded this number, as many were included in one invoice.
" It was estimated that about one hundred and fifty thou- sand persons visited the Exhibition.
" Our reports are considered with many as standard authority in their several departments. They furnish, in themselves, a good abstract of the relative merit of the in- ventions and improvements of our day ; and will be a last- ing memorial and record of our encouragement of American Art, and of our efforts to reward tte most meritorious of those who have been engaged in its service.
" It may be stated in this place, as an interesting and sig- nificant fact, that we have had, recently, many applications for complete sets of our Reports, from scientific men, who desired them to form a permanent place in their own libra- ries.

MEKCANTILE BUILDING, SUMMER STKEET.
MERCANTILE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION.
The new Rooms of the Mercantile Library Association are located in the building recently erected by Mr. Emery B. Fay, on the corner of Summer and Hawley Streets, a TJew of which is presented above. The whole building covers an area of 27,000 feet, or nearly five-eighths of an acre; and the Mercantile Library Association occupy about one-half of the second story — a space three times as large as its old quarters on Bromfield Street. The suit of rooms, which are twelve in number, were planned by Mr. Joseph R. Richards, architect, under the superinten- dence of a Committee of the Association, and have been finished expressly for the purposes for which they will be used. The entire arrangements reflect much credit upon the Committee, as well as upon the skilful architect. The
different apartments consist of a reading room, periodical room, conversation room, library room, directors' room, , librarian's room, five committee, reception, and storage rooms, and a large hall for literary exercises, general meetings, &c.
The main entrance is on Summer Street ; and ascending the broad stairway, and turning to the right, we enter the Reading Room, which is devoted exclusively to the display of newspapers. This room has four windows on the front, and is forty-two feet six inches on Summer Street, sixty-one feet four inches in depth, and nineteen feet four inches in height. The newspapers are arranged on stands or desks of about nine feet in length, each of which accommodates five newspapers, and is accessible on three sides, one end being placed against the wall. These desks extend into the room from the walls on three sides, the fourth wall being

left clear for easy access and egress to the other apartments ; and they are planned to display conveniently about two hundred newspapers. The desks are of chestnut, varnished, but not painted — a material which has recently come into use for desks, bank counters, &c., and is much admired for its neatness and elegant finish. They are supported on an ornamented iron stand, designed and manufactured by Chase Brothers ; they are of a suitable height to stand at and read, and are furnished, also, with high stools for those who are disposed to sit. Each desk is numbered, and a Directory is placed in a conspicuous locality, showing a classified list of the newspapers received, and the number of the desk where each may be found. The ceiling of this room is divided into three panels ; and in the central one is an oval skylight of ground and stained glass, in the centre of which is a representation of the seal of the Association.
Over the passage way from the Reading Room to the Periodical Room, which is eleven feet wide and fourteen feet high, is an elegant clock, with two dials, and incased in white marble, which was manufactured by Howard & Davis, and presented to the Association by its efficient and worthy President, Mr. Carlos Pierce. Standing opposite this entrance, the beholder has an uninterrupted perspective through various rooms, of two hundred and seventeen feet.
The Periodical Room is thirty-two feet in length, by twenty feet six inches in width. The periodicals are arrani^ed on narrow tables against the walls, and comfortable chairs are provided for the accommodation of readers. Passin<' through a second arched passage way of similar dimensions as the first, we enter the Conversation Room, which is twent)--seven feet seven inches in length, and twentj' feet six inches in width. At the lower end of this room, a portion of its area is separated from the remainder by an iron railing, for the convenience of those who may be applying for books at the Library, which is located in the next room. Beneath a third arched passage way, similar to the two others we have alluded to, is situated the Librarian's desk ; and two smaller side doorways are appro- priated, one to an entrance for officers into the Library, and the other to a counter, on which is a book containing the charter, and by laws, to which every person who joins the Association is required to subscribe.
The Library Room is seventy-five feet four inches long, by twenty feet six inches wide, and is lighted by three skylights in the ceiling and two side windows. The books are arranged on the walls and on twenty-two alcoves ex- tending from the walls on both sides, leaving a clear passage through the centre of six feet in width. The shelving has been so contrived that any book can be reached by a person of ordinary height, without the aid of stairs, ladders or
other such inconvenient appliances. The room in its present condition will contain twenty-five thousand volumes and its capacity for books can readily be doubled, if occa- sion should require it, by a second story of shelves, to which access could be had by means of a circular iron stairway and light gallery.
The Library, Conversation and Periodical Rooms are all finished eighteen feet in height.
Passing through the Library, we come to the Directors' room, eleven feet square, and the Librarian's private room, of the same dimensions, in which is a large brick fire-proof vault, for the safe preservation of the records and other valuables belonging to the Association. Over these two rooms is an apartment for storage, twelve by twenty-one feet.
The Hall for literary exercises and general meetings of the members, is fifty-four feet nine inches long, and fifty- two feet three inches broad, exclusive of a receding plat- form, nineteen feet wide by eleven feet deep. The Hall is capable of accommodating nearly six hundred persons ; its ceiling is finished in elaborate panel work, and ample arrangements have been made for ventilation. On both sides of the platform are anterooms, sixteen feet long by ten feet wide, and from each of the anterooms, doors open into the Library, the Hall, and upon the platform. Con- nected with these are private retiring rooms, with every convenience that adapts the Hall for public concerts, read- ings, and other like entertainments. The main entrance to the Hall is from Summer Street, by a broad and independent passage-way from the top of the staircase, which renders it unnecessary for persons to pass through the other rooms in order to enter the Hall, There is another entrance to the Hall from Hawley street ; it can also be entered from the Librarj' and from the Conversation Room. By the passage- way just alluded to, ladies and others who come to the Libra- ry for books, and do not wish to pass through the Reading and Periodical Rooms, can reach the Librarian's desk.
The entire premises are heated by steam conveyed in pipes attached to the walls of each room near the floor ; and the pipes are so arranged that the heat of each room can be properly regulated without regard to the other rooms. One of Ashcroft's steam gauges, placed in a convenient position for observation, indicates at all times whether the furnaces are properly attended to by those having charge of them in the lower apartments.
The arrangements for lighting the rooms are very admi- rable, skylights having been introduced wherever the Committee deemed the side windows to be insufficient. In the evening the Hall is lighted by four large chandeliers, over each of which is a ventilator communicating with a chamber that has an opening through the roof. The gas
92

fixtures in the Library are so arranged that no part of any alcove will be in shadow ; the Conversation and Periodical Eooms are each lighted by a cbandelier, and in the Reading Room every desk has its own gas fixture.
The Committee of the Association, under whose direction these rooms have been finished and furnished, are Messrs. Carlos Pierce, William A. Walker, James A. Woolson and Thomas J. Lee.
The Mercantile Library Association of Boston — the senior of all similar institutions in the other commercial cities of the Union — was founded in 1820, for the intellectual improve- ment of young men engaged in mercantile pursuits. Its principal growth has been during the last seven years ; its membership now numbers two thousand, and is rapidly increasing. Among the many institutions founded in this city for intellectual, moral, and social improvement, none are exerting a better influence, or are more firmly estab- lished in the confidence and aflTections of the community, than the Mercantile Library Association. It enrolls among its benefactors the names of the Lawrences, the Appletons, the Perkinses, the Shaws, the Sturgises, and of other Boston merchants, all of which are fragrant with deeds of benevolence.
It has an invested fund of eighteen thousand doUai-s ; and in addition to this, ten thousand dollars have been subscribed by merchants as a building fund, of which three thousand dollars have been paid in.
The spacious and convenient rooms, which we have described, and which the Association is now occupying, must greatly increase, during the coming year, the member- ship and usefulness of the Institution. Among its facilities for accomplishing the object it has in view may be men- tioned the following : —
I. The Reading Room. Here are displayed, in the most convenient and attractive method, all the local news papers of Boston and its vicinity, the principal journals pubUshed in each of the New England States, and the leading papers in other States and in all the commercial cities of the Union. The London Times, the Journnl des Debats, and other foreign journals, are placed on file imme- diately on the arrival of every steamer. Nearly two hundred newspapers are regularly received, and the Reading Room is the best in the city.
II. Periodicals. An excellent selection of the current American and Foreign periodicals is arranged in a room devoted exclusively to this purpose.
III. The Library. Seventeen thousand volumes of standard and popular works are contained in the Library ; and every new publication of merit is added immediately on its first issue. The new and complete catalogue of the Library, prepared on the most approved plan by the present
Librarian, Mr. W. F. Poole, has recently been published, in which a work can readily be found, if either its author, subject, or title is known. Mr. Poole, the accomplished Librarian, is the author of " Poole's Index to Periodical Literature," a work of great merit and utility, which has met with universal favor throughout the whole country. It is the unanimous opinion of those who are acquainted with this Library, that, for the purpose for which it is used, there is no better Library of its size in the country.
IV. Lectures. A course of Lectures is delivered be- fore the Association each winter, by the most talented speakers that money or influence can procure. Tickets admitting a gentleman and lady, are sold only to members. The popularity of these lectures has been so great that, although dehvered in the largest hall in the city, it has been found necessary on several occasions within a few years, to establish two courses in order to accommodate all the appli- cants for tickets.
V. Classes. The government make arrangements by which the most accomplished teachers in the city, in the various departments of study, receive members of the Association as pupils on terms greatly reduced from the usual rates. Messrs. Hanaford & Payson, who occupy an elegant and commodious suit of rooms on the same floor, are the exclusive teachers of the Association in Penmanship, Bookkeeping, Navigation, and the higher Mathematics. Among the other branches taught are French, German, Italian, Spanish, and the ancient languages ; elocution, horse- manship and gj-mnastics.
VI. Literary Exercises. During the winter, and a portion of the autumn and spring months, literary exercises are held on every Tuesday evening, in the hall of the Association, consisting alternately of debate, declamation, and composi'ion, in which all members have the privilege of participating.
Any person who is more than fourteen years of age, may become a member by subscribing to the by-laws, and paying two dollars, his first year's assessment, in advance.
THE MASSACHUSETTS HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
This institution has rooms In the granite building in Tre- mont Street, near the Stone Chapel. The house is owned by the Society.
In 1790, the Rev. Jeremy Belknap and four others agreed to form such an Association. On the 24th of the next Janu- ary, they and five more were fully organized. Their main object was to collect manuscripts and books to illustrate the history of their own Republic. Their beginning was small, but their progress, however gradual, has been successful. At present, the Society have about 7,000 printed volumes
SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY.
93
and over 200 volumes of manuscripts. They have had issued from the press, 30 volumes of their Collections. Formerly it was their endeavor, more than now, to gather other relics of the past. Of these, the three following are selected.
Carver Sword.
This is the memento of a worthy pilgrim. It was owned by John Carver, who was among the most valuable men that left England and emigrated to Holland, for the con- scientious enjoyment of their religion. He was a promi- nent member of John Robinson's Church in Leyden. He took an active part in obtaining the Patent, under which the settlers of New Plymouth came over. When these were intending to land and dwell on Cape Cod, his name headed the subscribers to the constitution, which they adopted for their civil government. They unanimously chose him as their first chief magistrate. As the guide of so small a commonwealth, surrounded by imminent perils, and especially by that of being destroyed by the adjacent natives, whose wrongs from some of the white race filled them with a thirst for revenge upon the whole of them within their reach, he and his associates felt the need of arms to protect themselves and families. Hence the reason why his sturdy blade was not beat into a plough-share, but was worn by him as an instrument of defence. While ready to use it as he thought obligation might require, he was summoned, April, 1621, to enter on eternal realities, and as we trust, on the reward of a faithful steward.
The desk delineated in this cut was long used by the suc- cessive speakers of the Repre- sentatives of Massachusetts, i n the old State House. It con- tinued to be so employed till the new edifice of this name was prepared for the legisla- ture, whose first session in the latter was January 11, 1798. The desk was then la'd aside, as too antiquated for modern taste. But, well for its preservation, memljlers of the His- torical Society had an eye of favor towards it, for the ful- ness of its past usefulness. They obtained it, and ever since it has held an honorable place. Were it endowed with speech, what thrilling tones of eloquence and what in- teresting facts could it repeat relative to the unwritten and
Speaker's desk^ and Winslow's chair
forgotten proceedings of our colonial and provincial legis- lation !
The second article is a large oak chair, fitted for the patriarchal table around which it was often placed. When our eyes behold it, we think of the many, once buoyant with the hopes of life, who rested upon it when fatigued, and were cheerfully refreshed from the hospitable board, and took part in the varied topics of social conversation, but who, long since, have gone the way of all the earth. Among these, was its worthy proprietor, Edward Winslow. The tradition is, that, made in London in 1614, it was brought over by him in the May Flower among the effects of the first emigrants to New Plymouth. After having sus- tained the highest offices of the colony with honor to him- self and usefulness to others, he died May 8th, 1655, aged Gl, in the service of the crown, as commissioner to super- intend an expedition of the English against the Spanish AVebt Indies. The chair and desk are now in a good state of preservation, and are well worthy the attention of the antiquary.
This article of Indian antiquity awakens within us trains of thought which partake more of sadness than gaiety. It carries us to the royal wigwam at Mount Hope, in Rhode Island, introduces us to the family of its owner, busily occupied in satisfy- ing their appetite with the com and beans which it often presented as the products of their own culture and prepara- tion. Around it, the joys of domestic intercourse, the ex- pressions of affectionate hearts between children and parents, the gratulations of relatives and friends, abounded. But the crisis came, and the whole scene was converted to utter desolation. The proprietor of such a relic was Philip, (he Sachem of Pokanoket, the j'oungest son of Massasoit. He succeeded his brother, Ale.'iander, 1657, renewed friendship with the English, 1662, and began a desolating warfare with them, 1675. His principal object appears to have been to arrest the progress of Christianity among his own people and other tribes, and thus prevent assimilation to ihe principles and civilization of their European neighbors, and, as he feared, their final extinction. After the exhibi- tion of much physical and intellectual power, he was com- pelled to flee before the superior discipline of his opponents. He took refuge in secret places around his homo. He was discovered, and shot in a swamp, August 12th, 1676. His head was cut off", placed on a pole, and shown publicly at Plymouth, as the punishment of a traitor. A recent Boston paper has the following : — "We have before us a handsome volume of 412 pages, embracing a selection from the recent proceedings of the

Massachusetts Historical Society, and forming another of the rich contributions of the society to the Historical literature of the country. The work begins with the annual meeting of 1855, and concludes with the final proceedings of the year 1857-8, thus containing a complete account of the donations of the Appleton and Sears fund ; of the Dowse library and fund; of the Belknap collection of books, manu- scripts, &c. ; of the recovery and publication of the Brad- ford manuscript ; of the purchase of the building occupied by the Society ; of the amendment of its charter ; and of the adoption of the new code of by-laws.
" Among the papers of permanent interest preserved in this volume, aside from the regular proceedings of the So- ciety, are the memoir of Samuel Appleton by Rev. S. K Lothrop, memoir of Hon. Abbot Lawrence by Hon. Nathan Appleton, the paper contributed by Hon. Emory Wash- burn on the extinction of slavery in Massachusetts, Froth- ingham's memoir of William Parsons Lunt, D.D., Everett's eulogy on Thomas Dowse, and numerous others which have been read before the society. The publication of the record of proceedings in this form is an excellent index to the val- uable manuscripts in the possession of the Society.
" The Massachusetts Historical Society, thanks to the liberal bequest of the late Samuel Appleton, is now in a position to greatly increase its usefulness. This fund will hereafter allow the society to publish annually a handsome volume from original manuscripts of permanent interest, as well as a volume of proceedings, another of which is now in press."
BOSTON SOCIETY OF NATURAL HISTORY.
The rooms of the Boston Society of Natural History are in the brick building adjoining the Boston Theatre, in Ma- son Street They are nine in number. One of them is occupied by the librarian, and each of the others by objects
of interest in the different departments of natural history All who desire have free access to the cabinet every Wed- nesday ; and strangers in the city, who cannot conveniently visit it on that day, can obtain admission at any time by application to an officer of the society. The main room, which is entered from the first floor, contains skeletons of difierent animals from all parts of the world, from that of the huge mastodon to the slender bones of the sprightly squirrel. In an ante-room are cases filled with rare speci- mens of geology and mineralogy. Around the main room is a light iron balcony, giving access to the glass cases, which are likewise filled with things strange and wonderful from all parts of the known world. Here are skulls and mummies, fishes and serpents, fossil remains and foot marks of those huge animals that walked, or birds that flew, be- fore Adam arose from kindred earth. Ascending to the next story, we enter a room nearly filled with every variety of birds, from the albatross to the minute humming bird, while in the centre are long cases filled with eggs of the different species, and many kinds of nests. One of the anterooms is filled with shells, seemingly in endless variety, while specimens of moss, sponges, corals, and equatie plants enliven the collection with their singular beauty. Another anteroom is filled with fishes. In yet another room the various members of the serpent family are preserved.
The library belonging to the Massachusetts Society of Natural History contains several thousand volumes and a number of valuable manuscripts. The society hold monthly meetings, and several of their proceedings have been pub- lished. The institution now owns the building which was formerly occupied by the Massachusetts Medical College i but the building has been remodled, to adapt it to its pre- sent purposes. The whole estate cost about thirty thousand dollars, which was obtained by subscription from the liberal citizens of Boston.

On the first of January, 1859, two Steam Fire Engines were added to the force of the Fire Department, in place of Nos. 6 and 7, whose companies were discharged on that day. Steam Fire Engine Eclipse, is located in Wall Street, and is managed by seven men and two horses, Moses B. Bell, Engineer. Steam Fire Engine, Lawrence, is located in Purchase Street, and is managed by seven men and two horses, Thomas Scott, Engineer.
Two additional Steam Fire Engines are soon to be added to the Fire Department.
The following descriptions of the Fire systems of London and St. Petersburg will be of interest in this connec- tion.
(From the Boston Journal of May 19, 1859. j
THE LONDON FIRE BRIGADE.
A few days since Capt. Geoi ge W. Bird, Chief Engineer of the Boston Fire Department, and Mr. George H. Allen, Secretary of the Board of Engineers, received from James Braidwood, Esq., Superintendent of the London Fire Brigade and Institution of Civil Engineers, a lengthy letter, accompanied by several documents relative to the Fire Brigade of that city — its management, efficiency, mode of operation, &c. — from which we gather the following facts, which may prove interesting to the firemen of this country, and at the same time give the public a correct idea of the management of fires in the great city of London, and aid the authorities of our own and other cities in forming a judgment whether or not they are behind the age in affording the means for the prompt extinguishment of fires : —
The population of London is stated at between 2,500,000 and 3,000,000 souls. The London Fire Brigade is com- posed of 1 superintendent ; 4 foremen, each being appointed to a district, consisting of a fourth part of London, which he never leaves except on some pressing emergency, and who, in the absence of the superintendent, has the sole command of all engines or firemen within, or who may come within, his district ; 1 2 engineers, each at 28 shillings ($7) per week, and free house ; 9 sub-engineers, each at 26 shillings ($6 50) per week ; 40 senior firemen, each at 24 shillings G pence (S6 12) per week ; 38 junior firemen.
each at 21 shillings ($5 25) per week ; and 14 drivers, making a total of 1 1 8 men and 31 horses. All these live at the several stations, and besides their board being fur- nished, they are clothed by the committee, and are always ready when their services are required ; 4 extra firemen, 3 extra drivers, and 6 extra horses (the extra men live at the stations, and are clothed by the committee, but are only paid when required for duty, and at other times pursue their usual avocations) ; 27 large engines drawn by horses ; 9 small engines drawn by horses ; 2 floating engines toorked by steam — one 40 and the other 80 nominal horse power ; 28 hand pumps, one being carried in each engine. Thus it will be seen that the whole number of active members of the Fire Brigade is but one hundred and twenty-Jive men.
When an engine is sent to a fire, only four men and one driver are sent with it — the brakes being worked by the bystanders, who are paid one shilling for the first, and six- pence for each successive hour, besides being supplied with refreshments. Upwards of 600 bystanders have been thus employed at one time.
The principal fire engines are entirely in the hands of the insurance companies, and the principal protection London has against fire is entirely voluntary on the part of the insurance companies, there being no law to control or sustain the Brigade, and, with the exception ot some fifteen or twenty, the parish engines are comparatively useltss at a serious fire.
The greatest possible assistance is given to the firemen by the police (nearly 7000 in number), in keeping back the crowd, &c. Each officer who discovers a fire, without his attention being called to it by any one, receives ten shillings ($2 50) from the Brigade ; so that there are upwards of 4000 men watching for fires throughout each night
Floating steam engines have been in use on the river Tliames for some considerable time past, and the principal difficulty in applying steam fire engines to the streets is the want of water, which is supplied to the inhabitants of London by eight or ten different water companies. The firemen consider themselves pretty well off when only four or five engines are required, but when ten or twelve are at work the supply is short
The only ladders used are what is termed " the scaling ladder," which can be raised, at the most, to a height oi only about forty ftet, and when a fire occurs at about that height from the ground, it is generally attacked from the roofs of adjoining buildings, or by playing water from the ground. Many of the implements used by the London Fire Bri- gade are entirely different from those in use in this country, while some of them are very similar. One of the principal
98
SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY.
implements for the protection and saving of human life, is what is termed the "Fire Escape." The simplest and most complete implement consists of a main ladder Ihirty-two feet in length, fitted on the under side with a canvas trough, in which pei-sons may slide with ease and safety from a window to the ground; to this ladder, and within eleven feet of the top is joined a second ladder, twenty-two feet in length, which is raised by a rope and lever on each side. A detached ladder, sixteen feet in length, is carried under the main ladder, and is found useful for first floor windows. The whole is mounted on a light carriage, and can be moved anywhere by two men.
Another " Fire Escape " in use, consists of seven lengths of scaling ladders, each six feet six inches in length, having wrought iron sockets fitting universally, by which any num- ber of lengths may be immediately jointed to form a ladder the required height — the top ladder being fitted with two rollers to assist in raising it against a wall. A strong leather belt, a canvas bag large enough to contain a grown person, and a long stout line are also provided. This " escape " is also furnished with a strong " canvas jumping slieet," made with hand holes all round, into which, when securely held by from eight to twelve men, individuals may jump from any window with perfect safety.
The men arriving with the first large engine at a fire, each receive not exceeding thirty shillings ($7.50); those with the second, each not exceeding twenty shillings ($5), and those with the third, not exceedmgten shillings ($2.50) each. These rewards average about two shillings and six pence to each fireman in the Brigade, which they receive from the local authorities, independent of the wages before stated. In cases of alarms from burning chimneys, these rewards are payable by the occupants of the premises in which such chimney stands.
The whole number of fires in London during the year 1858 was 1114, in addition to which there were 94 false alarms, and 112 alarms from burning chimneys, making a total of 1320 alarms, and being an average of nearly four alarms each day. Of these, but 32 buildings were totally destroyed, 385 were considerably damaged, and 697 were but slightly damaged. Of the 32 totally destroyed, 14 were from two to ten miles distant from the nearest station — 13 were the workshops of carpenteis and other dangerous places — 3 fell down more from old age than the effects of fire — and of the remaining two, one was destroyed by an explosion of saltpetre, and the other by imprudence in breaking open the shop front before the arrival of engines.
The entire expenses of the Fire Brigade for the year 1858 amounted to £19,50G 15s. 6d., or less than 398,000.
The expenses of the Boston Fire Department for the last year was $109,000.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT OF ST. PETERS- BURG.
A remarkable institution of St. Petersburg is the fire department, and one of the most farcical entertainments to be met with is the sight of a company, with its apparatus, going to a fire, and its management when arrived there. In the first place comes a herald on horseback and in uniform, dashing down the street at a full run, to announce the approach of the captain of the company. From an eighth to a quarter of a mile behind follows the captain him- self, clad in full military dress, including a long sword and white kid gloves, and seated in a barouche drawn by three horses abreast, going at the top of their speed. Next comes a short platform wagon, also drawn by three horses, on the top of which stand half a dozen men and an engine, made precisely like a common garden pump, but having two and a half times the power of that worthy little machine. Behind these will usually be seen another wagon, carrying, in addition to fifty feet in length of two Inch hose, as many soldiers in great coats and hemlets as can well pile on to it, and then four or five other double teams, carrying each one man, besides the driver, and a small-sized barrel lying flatwise and having a square hole in its top, for conTenience of filling it by means of buckets.
A standing reward of about fifteen dollars to the company which first reaches a fire, causes the drivers to whip the horses into a furious canter, and as the train dashes along the strett, exciting the pride, admiration and awe of the untraveled natives, the whole sight is so ludicrous that a spectator, who happens to have seen the fire brigades of other cities, can with difficulty repress such noisy laughter as puts him in danger of going to the lock-up for boisterous bthavior.
Once arrived at the fire, with melting horses and empty water casks, all interest in the burning appears to cease. The captain, in his carriage, takes up a position which affords the best view of the flames, while the men go delib. erately about unbending the fifty feet of hose with its three- eighths of an inch nozzle, and, after everything has been arranged with military precision, the water casks arc ordered off" to the river to be filled. When one of these returns, it is connected with the pump, the brakes of which are set in motion at the rate of twenty strokes per minute (by actual timing of the watch), while the man holding the nozzle of the discharge looks out for some elevated position, f/om which he can throw water into the chamber windows, and if he fails to secure a convenient berth upon a pile of dry goods boxes or a cart's tail, the probability is that jou will see him in the course of ten minutes In the second story of
SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY
99
a neighboring house, with his hose passing upon the outside, and playing from the windows of one into the other. This plan works to the satisfaction of all concerned while the barrel of water holds out, but after awhile the " machine " begins to " suck air," and then comes a loud hurrah and cessation of operations till another Ceisk can be backed up and attached to the suction of the Torrent, the Niagara, or the Cataract, or engine of whatever aspiring name happened to be imposed at its christening.
Of course, such apparatus and management as 1 have described can produce no effect upon the flames until after a building is burned out, and the fire becomes concentrated on the ground floor, when, if the house be narrow, the engines will play across horizontally, and most likely effect a small saving of charcoal. The walls of brick houses, being on an avcrge three feet thick, never fall down. I had noticed that while a portion of the men were toying with the pumps and water casks, another set went wildly to work, smashing all the windows and chopping holes in the roofs, while yet others rushed on in advance of the flames, pitching sofas, tables and pier glasses out of the second and third story windows on the pavements, the fall, of course, dashing everything in pieces. Such conduct in countries of older civilization is usually esteemed the work of men laboring under the effects of temporary insanity, but after seeing it. practised by regularly drilled firemen, whose
interest in saving property or even their own lives would never lead to any spontaneous action of that kind, I came to the conclusion there must be some philosophy at the bottom of it ; an idea in which I was confirmed by careful inquiry of an intelligent Russian. According to h s. account, the furniture of a burning house is thrown out solely with a view to prevent its feeding the flames, and full vent is given to the flames, by creating a draft through the windows and roof, in order that they may consume the timber work as soon as possible, and thus prevent the greater damage that would result to the walls from a confined and slower combustion.
But the Russians do not rely altogether upon the fire department It is customary to invoke supernatural aid. As soon as convenient after a fire has broken out, all the priests in the neighborhood assemble and march in solemn procession around the flames, bearing pictures of the saints and other insignia of office, and uttering prayers in the Sclavonic tongue. Great interest is felt, by residents of the vicinity, in the route which they take, because it is believed that the flames will not spread beyond it ; but I am not aware that the priests themselves are at all particular on the subject, except to avoid intense heat, and follow on such streets and open spaces as are broad enough to make it tolerably certain the flames will not reach beyond them.

THE STATE HOUSE.
This elegant and spacious edifice, situated in Boston, on elevated ground adjoining the Common, and near the centre of this ancient and flourishing city, was erected in 1795. The corner-stone was laid on the fourth of July, by the venerable and patriotic Samuel Adams, then Chief Magis- trate of Massachusetts (assisted by Paul Revere, Master of the Grand Lodge of Masons). He succeeded Governor Hancock, who died in October, 1793. Governor Adams made a short address on the occasion of laying the corner- stone, and said, " he trusted that within its walls liberty and the rights of man would be forever advocated and sup- ported." The lot was purchased by the town of Boston of the heirs of Governor Hancock, for which the sum of £4,000 was paid. The building was not finished and occupied by the Legislature till January, 1 798 ; when the members of
the General Court walked in procession from the Old State House at the head of State Street, and the new edifice for the government was dedicated by solemn prayer to Almighty God.
The comer-stone of the present Capitol was brought to the spot by fifteen white horses, at that time the number of States in the Union. The building is seen at a great dis- tance in all directions, and is the principal object visible when the city is firet seen by those who visit it. The form is oblong, being one hundred and seventy-three feet in front, and sixty-one feet deep, or at the end. The height of the building, including the dome, is one hundred and ten feet ; and the foundation is about that height above the level of the water of the bay. It consists externally of a base- ment story twenty feet high, and a principal story thirty feet high. This, in the centre of the front, is covered with an atlic sixty feet wide, and twenty feet high, which is
100

covered with a pediment. Immediately above arises the dome, fifty feet in diameter, and thirty in height ; the whole tenninating with an elegant circular lantern, which supports a pine cone. The basement story is finished in a plain style on the wings, with square windows. The centre is ninety- foar feet in length, and formed of arches which project fourteen feet, and make a covered walk below, and support a colonnade of Corinthian columns of the same extent above.
The . largest room is in the centre, and in the second story ; it is the Representatives' Chamber ; and will accom- modate five hundred members ; and sometimes they have been more numerous. The Senate Chamber is also in the second storj' and at the east end of the building, being sixty feet by fifty. At the west is a large room for the meetings of the Governor and the Executive Council, with a con- venient ante-chamber.
The building cost $133,333.33, a sum indicating the pound, shilling and pence currency of that period. The cost of the alterations and repairs since then has probably exceeded that sum. Several attempts have been made to enlarge and remove the Capitol, without success ; but on the 20ih of May, 1852, a resolve was approved, providing for the appointment of a committee to procure plans and esti- mates for a fire-proof building lo be erected in rear of the State House. That committee consisted of one member of the Senate, Edward L. Keyes, and two members of the House of Representatives, S. S. Perkins and P. W. Taft • who, at the next tession of the Legislature, submitted a re- port, accompanied by three plans, designed chiefly by them, and drawn by Messrs. Towle & Foster, architects. The
plans were consistent with each other, the most extensive comprehending the lesser, The Legislature adopted the most extensive one of the three, and appropriated the sum of sixty-five thousand dollars to carry it into execution. Cliarles H. Warren, A. W. Thaxter, Jr., and Samuel K. Hutchinson were appointed Commissioners to superintend the work of enlargement, and G. J. F. Bryant, architect. The Commissioners saw fit to change somewhat the plan of the exterior, as adopted by the Legislature, and to adopt a more costly style of building than was contemplated, and at the session of 1854, a further appropriation of one hundred thousand dollars was passed, making the sum of one hun- dred and sixty-five thousand dollars, which is more by thirty thousand, than the first cost of the original building. The design of the enlargement was to obtain additional fire-proof room for the safety and security of the archives of the State ; a library room sufficiently large and commodious to sat- isfy the wants of the present and future ; additional accom- modations for the several departments of the Government, including the agricultural bureau recently established. The plan adopted comprised ante, or Committee, rooms for the use of the Senate and Council, and Committee rooms for the general use of the Legislature. The dimensions of the Library are as follows : length 88 feet, width 37 feet, height 36^ feet. It is fitted with galleries and alcoves, which will afford abundant space for the accommulations of many future years. The basement and fire-proof rooms beneath the library are of the same dimensions as the latter, with the exception of the height, and they will be sufficient to accommodate the agricultural department, and to afford room and security for the public archives. All the designs
SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY.
101
of the plan, so far as providing accommodations are con- cerned, are fully carried out in the structure, which is com- pletely fire-proof, and built in the most substantial and massive style. The vrall of the basement story is of " rus- ticated dressed granite," and the others of brick. A large amount of iron is used in the structure, which gives it an air of grandeur and solidity. The form of the building, with the enlargement, and the style of the architecture, may be seen in the engraved representation.
The lot on which the State-House was built was con- veyed to the Commonwealth by the town of Boston, on the 2d day of May, 1 795. The Commissioners on the part of Boston to make this conveyance were William Tudor, Chas. Jarvis, John Coffin Jones, William Eustis, AVilliam Little, Thomas Dawes, Joseph Russell, Harrison Gray Otis, and Perez Morton. The ground is termed in the deed, the Governor's Pasture, or Governor Hancock's Pasture ; and the dimensions were stated as follows : — Running east- wardly on Beacon Street, 543 feet 3 inches ; thence north- wardly, up a passage way to the summit, 249 feet; thence westwardly, to the northern corner of the lot, 235 feet 3 inches; thence to the first corner, 371 feet.
The purchase money was " four thousand pounds lawful money." The Commissioners or agents for the erection of the new State-House were named in the deed, viz. : Tho.s. Dawes, Edward Hutchinson Robinson, and Chas. Bulfinch. Large sums have been expended in repairs on the State- House, both within and without, since it was erected, and in improving the grounds and fences about it ; and it is now in a condition of great neatness and elegance.
On the 12th of June, 1827, the Legislature ado(ited a resolution " that permission be hereby given to the trustees of the Washington Monument Association to erect, at their own expense, a suitable build- ing on the north front of the State- House, for the reception and per- manent location of the Statue of Washington, by Chantrey.'
The building was erected, and the trustees passed a vote as follows: " The Trustees of said Association do confide and intrust as well the said edifice, erected at their expense, as the noble statue, the work of the first artist in Europe, to the care and patriotism of the government of the State of Massachusetts, for the use and benefit of the people of said State to all future generations."
In pursuance of which, a resolve was passed on the 9th of January, 1828, " That the I.<egislature of this Common- wealth accepts the Statue of Washmgton upon the terms and conditions on which it is offered by the Trustees of the Washington Monument Association ; and entertains a just sense of the patriotic feeling of those individuals, who have done honor to the State by placing in it a statue of the man whose life was among the greatest of his country's blessings, and whose fame is her proudest inheritance."
This statue was procured by private subscription, and was placed in the State-House in the year 1828.
The costume is a military cloak, which displays the figure to advantage. The efiect is imposing and good ; but, in- stead of confining himself to a close delineation of features, the sculptor, like Canova, has allowed some latitude to his genius in expressing his idea of the character of the subject
Several guns may be noticed standing near the statue These pieces possess no historic interest, beyond that com prised in the following inscription, placed upon two of them which were formerly possessed by the Concord Company and afterwards exchanged by the State : —
" The Legislature of Massachusetts consecrate the names of Major John Buttrick and Capt. Isaac Davis, whose valour and example excited their fellow citizens to a successful resistance of a superior number of British troops at Concord Bridge, the 19th of April, 1775 ; which was the beginning of a contest in arms that ended in American Indepen- dence."
The statue of Webster by Powers occupies a conspicnous position in front of the State House. This statue has also been erected by means of private subscriptions.
The Massachusetts Siate Cabinet, under the charge of the Secretary of the Board of Agriculture, presents many interesting specimens, and is rapidly increasing. The col- lection of rocks, minerals, and fossils, was obtained during the Geological Surveys of Massachusetts, between the years 1830 and 1840, by Dr. Edward Hitchcock, State Geologist. Later additions have been made, and the entire collection has been re-arranged and relabelled by him. Specimens of birds, animals, insects, and shells, have been carefully prepared and arranged, and an Aquarium commenced. Catalogues exhibit the collection in its various details. The Agricultural Library probably contains as perfect a collection as any other similar library in the country.
The view from the top of the State House is very exten- sive and variegated ; perhaps, nothing in the country is superior to it. To the east, appears the bay and harbor of Boston, interspersed with beautiful islands; and in the dis- tance beyond, the wide extended ocean. To the north, the eye is met by Charlestown, with its interesting and memo- rable heights, and the Navy Yard of the United States ; the towns of Chelsea, Maiden, and Medford, and other
102
SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY.
villages, and the natural forests mingling in the distant hori- zon. To the west, is a fine view of the Charles River and a bay, the ancient town of Cambridge, rendered vene- rable for the University, now above two hundred years old ; of the flourishing villages of Cambridgeport and East Cam- bridge, in the latter of which is a large glass manufacturing establishment • of the highly cultivated towns of Brighton, Brookline, and Newton ; and to the south, is Roxbury, which seems to be only a continuation of Boston, and which is rapidly increasing ; Dorchester, a fine, rich, agricultural town, with Milton and Quincy beyond ; and still farther south, the Blue Hills, at the distance of eight or nine miles, which seem to bound the prospect. The Common, stretch- ing and spreading in front of the Capitol, with its numerous walks and flourishing trees, where " the rich and the poor meet together," and the humblest have the proud conscious- ness that they are free, adds greatly to the whole scene.
Kear the Capitol, on the west, is the mansion house of the eminent patriot, the late John Hancock, now exhibiting quiie an ancient appearance; and on the east, about the same distance, was, until recently, situated the dwelling of the late James Bowdoin, another patriot of the Revolution, a distinguished scholar and philosopher ; and who, by his firmness, in the critical period of 1 78G, contributed most efficiently to the preservation of order and tranquility in the Commonwealth.
THE HANCOCK HOUSE, BEACON STREET.
The annexed engraving exhibits a view of the mansion house of John Hancock, the celebrated Governor of that name, and whose bold and manly signature is so much ad- mired on the charter of our liberties.
It is situated on the elevated ground in Beacon Street, fronting towards the south. The principal building is of
hewn stone, " finished, not altogether in the modern style, nor yet in the ancient Gothic taste." It is raised twelve or thirteen feet above the street ; and the ascent is through a garden, bordered with flowers and small trees. Fifty-six feet in breadth, the front terminates in two lofty stories. While occupied by Governor Hancock, the east wing formed a spacious hall ; and the west wing was appropriated to domestic purposes, — the whole embracing, with the stables, coach-house, and other offices, an extent of 220 feet In those days, there was a delightful garden behind the man- sion, ascending gradually to the high lands in the rear. This spot was also handsomely embellished with glacis, and a variety of excellent fruit trees. From the summer-house might be seen West Boston, Charlestown, and the north part of the town ; the Colleges, the bridges of the Charles and Mystic rivers, the ferry of Winnisimmet, and " fine country of that vicinity, to a great extent" The south and west views took in Roxbury, the highlands of Dorchester and Brookline, the blue hills of Milton and Braintree, to- gether with numerous farm-houses, verdant fields, and laughing valleys. Upon the east, the islands of the harbor, " from Castle William to the Light House, engaged the sight by turns, which at last was lost in tlic ocean, or only bounded by the horizon."
In front of this edifice is an extensive green, called " the Common," containing forty-eight acres, where, in the Gov- ernor's time, " an hundred cows daily fed." It was then handsomely railed in, except on the west, where it was washed by the river Charles and the Back Bay. The mall, bordering on the Common the east, is ornamented with a triple row of trees ; and " higher the ladies and gentleman resorted in summer, to inhale those refreshing breezes which were wafted over the water." Upon days of election, and public festivity, this ground teemed, as it does now on simi- lar occasions, with multiludes of everj- description ; and here " the diflcrenf military corps performed," as at the current day, " their stated exercise."
Governor Hancock inherited this estate from his uncle, Thomas Hancock, Esquire, who erected the building in 1737. At that period, the " court part of the town" was at the " north end," and his fellow-citizens marvelled not a httle that he should have selected, for a residence, such an unimproved spot as this then was.
In the life-time of that venerable gentleman, the doors of hospitality were opened to the stranger, the poor, and dis- tressed ; and annually, on the anniversary of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company, he entertained the Go- vernor and Council, and most respectable personages, at his house. The like attentions were shown to the same military body by Governor Hancock, who inherited all the urbanity, generous spirit, and virtues of bis uncle.

" In a word, if purity of air, extensive prospects, ele- gance and convenience united, are allowed to have charms," says one who wrote many years past, " this seat is scarcely exceeded by any in the Union." This statement, however, must be received with some qualification at tho present day. The premises are not entirely as they were. It is true, there is the same noble exterior, which the edifice possessed at its erection, nor have any important alterations been made in the interior. The greater part of the flower garden re- mains in front ; nor do we know of a want of pure air, ele- gance, or convenience in the establishment. But the " stables and coach-house " are not to be found ; and the " prospect," though still very beautiful, has been materially abridged by the adjacent buildings.
The garden behind the mansion, glacis, fruit trees, and summer house have all disappeared. Even " Ihe high lands " beyond have been much reduced, to make room for public avenues and stately dwellings, in that part of the metropolis.
Every Governor of the Commonwealth, from the time of John Hancock to that of the present chief magistrate, has been lodged or entertained, more or less, in that hospitable mansion Indeed, it has a celebrity in all parts of the country ; and most strangers, on visiting the capital of New England, endeavor to catch a glimpse of " the Hancock House."
The Legislature of 1859 adopted measures to purcbjise the estate of the descendants of Governor Hancock.
OLD STATE HOUSE.
BTATE STREET.
The Old State House, fo called from the time of building the present State House in 1795, was long the place in which the General Court of the Province of Massachusetts was holden. It was also formerly the place of the meeiings of the city authorities, and for public offices. It is now oc- cupied for business purposes.
CITY HALL.
This structure fronts on School Street, and also forms a section of Court Square. It is devoted to the principal municipal offices, and meetings of the City Council. The Board of Aldermen meet every Monday afternoon, and the Coromon Council on Thursday evenings. The Mayor is usually in daily attendance during the forenoon.
The Franklin Statue occupies a prominent position in front of the City Hall, and the grounds are tastefully deco- rated.
FANEUtL HALL AND PANEHIL HALL MAUKET.
FANEUIL HALL.
The History of Faneuil Hall, which has been very pro- perly styled the " Cradle of American Liberty," is intimately connected with that of our country. The original building, commenced in 1740, was the noble gift of Peter Faneuil, Esq., to the town of Boston, for a town hall and market place. The inside woodwork and roof of this building were destroyed by fire on the 13th of January, 1761. It was aL"-a\n repaired in 1 763, with some slight alteration in the work, but the size of the buiding remained the same, two stories high and 100 feet by 40. The enlargement, by which it was extended in width to 80 feet, and a third story added, was proposed by the selectmen, in May, 1805, and
completed in the course of the year. The building has a cupola, from which there is a fine view of the harbor. The great hall is 76 feet square, and 28 feet high, with galleries of three sides upon Doric columns ; the ceiling is supported by two ranges of Ionic columns ; the walls en- riched with pilasters and the windows with architraves, &c. Platforms under and in the galleries rise amphitheatrically to accommodate spectators, and, from trials already made on various occasions of public interest, it appears favorable for sight and sound.
The west end is decorated by an original full length painting of Washington, by Stuart, presented by Samuel Parkman, Esq., and another painting of the same size, by Col. Henry Sargent, representing Peter Faneuil, Esq., in

full length, copied from an original of smaller size. Haly'a picture of Webster in reply to Hayne has also been added.
Above the great hall is another, 78 feet long and 30 wide, devoted to the exercise of the different military corps of the city, with a number of apartments on each side for de- positing the arms and military equipments, where those of the several Independent Companies are arranged and kept in perfect order.
In the annals of the American Continent, there is no one place more distinguished for powerful eloquence than Faneuil Hall. That flame which roused a depressed people from want and degradation, arose from the altar of Liberty in Faneuil Hall. The language which made a monarch tremble upon his throne for the safety of his colonies, and which inspired New England with confidence in a cause, both arduous and bold, unprepared and unassisted, against a royal bulwark of. hereditary authority, had its origin in Faneuil Hall. Those maxims of political truth which have extended an influence over the habitable globe, and have given rise to new republics where despotism once held a court, glutted with the blood that would be free, were first promulgated in Faneuil Hall. Tyranny, with all its con- comitant evils, was first exposed, and the great machine of human wisdom, which was to emancipate man from the rapacious jaws of the British lion, was put in active opera- tion in Faneuil Hal'. The story of our country's future greatness, her power, her learning, her magnitude, her final independence, was told propheticallv in the same immortal form.
FANEUIL HALL MARKET.
Faneuil Hall Market occupies the lower story of Faneuil Hall, and of the building situated at the east end of Fan- euil Hall, between two streets called Norlh and South Market Streets. North Market Street is 65 feet wide, the South 102 feet, each street having a range of stores four stories high with granite fronts ; the range of stores on the north side is 520 feet, and 55 feet deep; on the south 530 feet, and 65 feet deep (an arched evenue in the centre of each range, five feet wide, communicating with the adjoin- in" streets) ; the facade of which is composed of pierj, lintel, and arched windows on the second story. The roofs are slated, and the cellars water-proof The height and form of the stores were regulated by the conditions of sale. The purchaser was required to erect, within a limited time, a brick store with hammered stone front (granite piers), in strict conformity with a plan drawn by Mr. Alexander Tarris.
The first operation for locating and building this spacious and superb market house commenced on the 20th of Au-
gust, 1824, by staking out the ground for the same, and for the North Market Street ; the old buildings standing on the premises having been previously purchased by the city, but not removed.
Shortly after the razing of these buildings, the filling up of the docks, and other work, necessary for clearing the wide area, and preparing for laying the corner-stone of the structure, were simultaneously entered upon, and carried through, to the raising of the splendid dome, without the intervention of a single accident, or occurrence affecting human life.
The corner-stone of this building was laid with much ceremony. The plate deposited beneath it bears the names of the Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Council, Building Committee, and principal Architect, besides the following inscription : — " Faneuil Hall Market, established by the City of Boston. This stone was laid April 17, Anno Domini Mdcccxxv. In the forty-ninth year of American Inde- pendence, and in the third of the incorporation of the city. John Quincy Adams, President of the United States. Marcus Morton, Lt. Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The population of the city estimated at 50,000 ; that of the United States 11,000,000."
In length, it is 586 feet 9 inches ; in width, 50 feet, wholly built of granite, having a centre building 74J by 55 feet, projecting 2^ feet in the north and south fronts. From the centre buildings are wings on each side, 173 by 500 feet, the wing continues from a prejection of 6 inches, 46 feet 3 inches, and 51 feet in width, on each facade of which are 5 antaes, projecting 6 inches, finishing with a portico at each end of the building, projecting 11 feet 7^ inches. The porticos consist of 4 columns, 3^ feet diameter at base, and 2 feet 10 inches at neck, each shaft in one piece, 20 feet 9 inches long, with a capital of the Grecian Doric. The columns support a pediment, the tympanum of which has a circular window for ventilation. The wings are two stories, the lower one 14 feet, the upper 14^ ieet, the lower windows have circular heads. The building is finished with a Grecian cornice 16 inches in depth, and 21 inches projection, worked in granite. The roof is slated, and gutters copper. The height of the wings from the sidewalk to the top of the cornice is 31 feet.
The facade of the centre building, up to the under side of the second story windows, is composed of five recesses of piers and arches of grooved ashler, on the top of which are again formed recesses by antaes, supporting a frieze and cornice, similar to the wing building ; in each recess is a circular headed window, the centre a Venetian ; on the top of the cornice is a blocking course, and an octagon attic, 6 feet high, with two elliptical sawtells, surmounted by a dome covered with copper, and crowned by a lantern

light. At each angle on top of the centre building is a pedestal, in which are placed the necessary flues.
The whole edifice is supported by a base of Quincy blue granite, 2 feet 10 inches high, with arched windows and doors communicating with the cellars.
The building is approached by 6 steps of easy ascent ; each wing has 6 doors. The centre building in the north and south front, a pair of folding doors, enter a passage way of smaller dimensions to correspond.
The principal entrances are from the east and west por- ticos, which communicate with the corridor, 512 feet long, 1 2 feet wide, with entablatures, finished with a cove ceilling. The interior is divided into 128 stalls, and occupied as fol- lows, viz. : 14 for mutton, lamb, veal, and poultry ; 2 for poultry and venison ; 19 for pork, Iamb, butler, and poultry ; 45 for beef; 4 for butter and cheese ; 19 for vegetables; and 20 for fish.
On the south front are four doorways opening to stair- cases, leading to the second story, in the centre of which is a hall, 70 by 50 feet, having a dome, springing from four segmental arches, ornamented with panels and rosettes, in
the crown of which is an elliptical opening, 14 by 12 feet.
The Triennial Exhibitions by the Massachusetts Charita- ble Mechanic Association are given in the halls of these structures, connected by a bridge, as seen in the engraving.
These exhibitions are of about three weeks duration, and are occurrences of extensive and popular interest.

THE NEW CUSTOM HOUSE.
This building is situated neai- the foot of State Street, between Long and Central Wharves, and is in the form of a Greek Cross, the opposite sides and ends being alike. It is 140 feet long north and south, 75 feet wide at the ends, and 95 feet through the centre (the porticos 67 feet long projecting 10 feet on each side), and is from the fide walk to the top of the entrance story floor 10 feet 4 inches; to the top of principal story floor, 26 feet 4 inches ; to the eaves.
52 feet; to the ridge, 62 feet 6 inches ; and 95 feet to the top of the skylight of the dome,
It is built on about 3,000 piles, fully secured against de- cay ; the construction throughout is fire proof, and of the very best kind.
The exterior of the building is purely Grecian Doric, not a copy, but adapted to the exigencies and peculiarities of the structure, and consists of a portico of six columns on each side, on a high flight of steps, and an order of engaged columns around the walls, twenty in number, on a high
106
SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY.
THE NEW CUSTOM HOUSE
stylobate, or basement ; the order of engaged columns ter- minating with four antse at their intersection with the por- ticoa. The columns are 5 feet 4 inches in diameter, and 32 feet high, the shaft being in one piece, each weighing about fortj--two tons.
The roof of the building is covered with wrought granite tile, and the intersection of the cross is surmounted by a dome terminating in a skylight 25 feet in diameter. The dome is also covered with granite tile.
The cellar, which is 10 feet 6 inches high to the crown of the arches, is principally' used for the storage of goods, which are conveyed to it through the basement story. The steam apparatus for warming the whole building (which it does effectually) is situated in the cellar, having easy access to the coal vaults under the sidewalk outside of the building.
The principal entrances to the basement story are at each end. They are for the receipt of goods for storage. Near the northwest corner, on the west side, is an entrance to the Nicht Inspectors' apartments, also to the private staircase leadino' to the Collector's room and the attic. South of the west portico is the entrance to the heating apparatus room, and on the south end is the entrance to the Custom House Truckmen's room. This story contains rooms for the Night Inspectors, Custom House Truckmen, and Engineer of the Heating Apparatus, also three sets of Water Closets ; the remainder is used for the storage of goods, weighers' tubs, &c.
The principal ingress to the entrance story is through the porticos, but it can be entered from the Collector's private staircase, and from two other private staircases from the basement. This story contains apartments and offices for the Assistant Treasurer, the Weighers and Gangers, the Measurers, Inspectors, Markers, Superintendent of Build- ing, &c. In the centre is a large vestibule, from which two broad flights of steps lead to the principal story, land- ing in two smaller vestibules therein, lighted by skylights in
the roof, and these vestibules communicate with all the apartments in this story. The several rooms are for the Collector, Assistant Collector, Naval Officer, Surveyor, Public Store Keeper, their Deputies and Clerks ; and, for the facilities of doing business, this arrangement is not sur- passed. The grand cross-shaped Rotunda, for the general business of the Collector's department, in the centre of this story, is finished in the Grecian Corinthian order ; it is 63 feet in its greatest length, 59 feet wide, and 62 feet hi^h to the skylight.
The dominical celling is supported on 12 columns of mar- ble, 3 feet in diameter and 29 feet high, with highly wrought capitals ; the ceiling is ornamented in a neat and chaste manner, and the skylight is filled with stained glass.
The building was commenced in 1837, and entirely com- pleted in 1849 ; it has cost about $1,076,000, including the site, foundations, &c. It was designed by A. B. Young, A. M., architect, and erected under his immediate supervision throughout. The execution of the whole was under the general direction of a Board of Commissioners, appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States. This Board consisted of Samuel S. Lewis, Esq., as chair- man, Robert G. Shaw, Esq., disbursing agent and commis- sioner, and the Collector of the ports of Boston and Charles- town for the time being. Jonathan P. Robinson was Clerk to the Board of Commissioners. In one of the panels of the Rotunda is inserted a tablet of marble, containing the fol- lowing inscription : —
" Boston Custom House Building. Authorized by the twenty-third Congress, A. D. 1835. Andrew Jaclson, President U. S. A. ; Levi Woodbury, Secretary of the Treasury. — Opened August 1st, A. D. 1847. James K. Polk, President U. S. A. ; Robert J. Walker, Secretary of the Treasury ; Marcus Morton, Collector of the Port ; Sam'l S. Lewis, Robert G. Shaw, Commissioners ; Ammi Burn- ham Young, Architect."
MERCHANTS' EXCHANGE AND POST-OFFICE.
Passing up State Street, we soon reach the Exchange. It is a splendid building, fronting on State Street. The corner-stone was laid August 2, 1841 ; the building com- pleted 1842, and cost, exclusive of land, $175,000. The width on State Street is seventy-six feet, the height seventy feet, the depth two hundred and fifty feet, and it covers thirteen thousand feet of land.
The front is of Quincy granite, and has six columns, each forty-five feet high in height, and weighing fifty-five tons. The staircases are of iron and stone, and the entire building is fire-proof. The front is occupied by banks, insurance and
SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY.
107
other offices, and the rear is a hotel, while at the top is a Telegraph Station. There are three entrances, one on State, one on Congress, and one on Lindall Street.
The Merchants' Exchange is up stairs, and is a magnifi- cent hall, eighty feet by fifty-eight feet, having its ceiling supported by eighteen imitation Sienna marble columns, with Corinthian capitals. There is a grand dome overhead, filled with stained glass. Here newspapers from all parts of the world are received, read, and filed. A Superintend- ent, Registrar, News Collecter, Boatmen, Messengers, &c., are attached to the room, and are in attendance from seven o'clock in the morning until ten at night. Vessels arriving are immediately registered, as well as shipping news tele- graphed from distant ports. Clearances, invoices per rail- road, ships, &c., are all entered, with the name of the con-
signee, on books kept for the purpose. Sales of stocks, cotton, &c., are also registered. Merchants, singly, are ad- mitted to all the privileges of the room for eight dollars a year; firms of two persons, ten dollars, &c. These are called subscribers, and have the privilege of introducing strangers, whose names having been registered in a book kept for that purpose, are allowed to visit the room and read the papers during their stay in the city. The Board of Brokers have their rooms in the Exchange ; and other por- tions of it are used for banking offices, brokers' offices, rail- road oSices, &c. The architectural beauty of the building, and the chaste but elaborate workmanship of its rotunda, are alone worth a visit.
The centre of the basement story is occupied by the Post Office.
COUHT HOU.sE, COUUT SQUAEE.
COURT HOUSE,
COUKT SQUARE.
The comer-stone of this building, for the accommodation of the Courts of Law of Boston, was laid on the 28th of September, 1833 ; Theodore Lyman being then Mayor of the city. The original cost of the undertaking was about $179,000, but a further sum of $17,000 was appropriated in 1839 for the purchase of land for the formation of a street and passages around the building, making the total cost of the ground and edifice about $200,000. A portion of the land, however, on which the structure stands was formerly the site of the old Jdil and belonged to the County, and its value is not included in the above estimate.
The building is situated in the centre of Court Square, between Court and School Streets, and is surrounded by a flagged pavement, which extends southerly along the
spacious area between it and the City Hall. The form of the edifice is that of a parallelogram, extending in length 176 feet by 54 feet in breadth. The altitude is 57 feet to the cornice, consisting of a basement and three stories : the first story above the basement being 12 feet, the second 20, and the third 18 feet in height. The material composin<» the building is of cut or hewn granite from the Quincy quarry, and at each front or extremity is a handsome portico of the Doric model, supported by four columns of fluted granite each twenty-seven feet in height and four and a half feet in diameter. These pillars are in the solid mass, and weigh about 25 tons each. The northern end or front of the building is parallel with Court Street, but retired oa a platform off the thoroughfare a few yards, while the southern front faces the rear of the City Hall or old Court House, and is approached from School Street through the
108
SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY,
latter building and by avenues on either side of it. The main body of the new Court House is simple and unadorned, but the massive symmetry and superior design of the front entrances, tend somewhat to relieve the general plainness of its architecture.
The interior is plain and substantial, without presenting much novelty of plan in its construction. An entrance hall, communicating with the southern portico and open- ing upon side doors, traverses nearly the full length of the building : and staircases ascending to the right and left of the two poi-ticos lead directly to the galleries of the principal Court rooms ; while the centre and side flights conduct to the various apartments in the several stories.
The Social Law Library room, on the second floor, is a comfortable and well-lighted apartment, and contains a good selection of Juridical Text-books, including writers in general law, and the English and American Reports. The society was first organized in the year 1804. At a later date, 1814, an act of incorporation was obtained, which granted to the proprietors, for the purpose of enlarging the collection, all sums of money which should be paid by way of tax or excise by persons admitted to practice as Attor- neys of the Boston Court of Common Pleas.
For many years the Library, being but small, was kept in an office of a Member of the Bar, who acted as Librarian, and subsequently it occupied a closet adjoining a large room in the old Court House then used for meetings of the Grand Jury. At a later period the whole room was devoted to the Library, to which, when the present Court
House was built, a spacious apartment was appropriated, in which it has since been kept. A catalogue of the Library was printed in 1824. At that time the number of volumes was 1,473 ; in 1849, it had increased to 4,077 ; and in May, 1851, embraced about 4,200 volumes. A large number of the books, including some of the most valuable, were pre- sented by the Hon. Charles Jackson ; but the Library is also indebted for donations to other gentlemen. The names of the donors are given under the titles of the works presented by them.
The advantages of the Library are not confined to the Bar of Suffolk, but it is constantly and freely used by gentlemen of the profession from all the other counties in the State, by the Judges of the Courts, Members of the Legis- lature, and Judges and Jurists from all parts of the United States. The by-laws provide for the admission of new members on payment of $25 a share and $5 annual assess- ment, and admit also subscribers on payment of an annual sum of $8. But the members of the Bar of other Counties (except those who usually practice at the Suffolk Bar) have the privilege of consulting the books of the Library at all times without expense. Each member is allowed to take from the Library one book at a time for a term not exceeding 24 hours, but no volumes are allowed to issue during the law term of the Supreme Judicial Court when the full bench is in session. The Librarian is appointed by the President and Trustees, who have the general manage- ment of the affairs of the society and direct in the purchase of books, &c.
UNITED STATES COURT HODSE.
UNITED STATES COURT HOUSE,
TREMONT STREET, CORNER OF TEMPLE PLACE.
This building was formerly known as the Masonic Tem- ple, situated in Tremont Street, on the corner of Temple place. It has been purchased by the Government, and fitted up for the Federal courts.
The corner stone was laid October 11, 1830, with appro- priate Masonic ceremonies, by the Grand Lodge of Mas- sachusetts. The Temple was dedicated May 30, 1832. It is sixty feet wide, and eighty and a half feet long. The walls are fifty-two feet high, of stone, covered with a slated roof, twenty-four feet high, containing sixteen
SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY,
109
■windows, to light the attic story. The gutters are of cast iron, and the water tranks are of copper. The base- ment is of fine hammered granite, twelve feet high, with a belt of the same. The towers at the corners next Tremont Street are sixteen feet square, surmounted with granite battlements, and pinnacles rising ninety-five feet from the ground. The door and window frames are of fine hammered granite, and the main walls, from the base- ment to the roof, are of Quincy granite, disposed in courses, in such a manner as to present a finished appearance to the eye. The blocks are triangular in shape, and there is probably no other such building in Massachusetts.
From the street are two flights of winding stairs in the towers, sufficiently spacious to admit a free entrance to the five stories of the building.
MUSIC HALL.
Until within the last few years, although a musical peo- ple, the city was sadly in want of a fitting place for con- certs, &c. Now, however, we have a Music Hall of the first class, which we can refer to with pride, as an ornament to our metropolis and an index of the taste and liberality of Boston.
There has been no attempt at display on the exterior of the building, it being deemed important to reserve, as far as practicable, for the interior, the means contributed for the enterprise.
The hall is one hundred and thirty feet long, seventy- eight feet wide, and sixty-five feet high, the proportion of length to width being as five to three, and of length to height as two to one. Two balconies extend round three sides of the hall.
The ceiling, which is forty feet above the floor of the upper balcony, is in general section flat, and connected with the wall by a large cove, in which are seventeen semi- circular windows, that light the hall by day. A row of gas jots, projecting from the edge of the cornice, just below these windows, light the hall by night.
The floor is arranged with seats which will accommodate upwards of fifteen hundred persons, and there is sufficient room in the balconies for upwards of one thousand more.
The orchestral platform is raised five feet above the floor of the hall, and rises by a few steps to the organ. From each side of the orchestra to the floor of the lower balcony is a series of raised platforms for choristers, or for the audi- ence, as may be required. The whole orchestra will accom- modate upwards of four hundred persons.
The whole has been constructed with special reference to the science of acoustics, — a consideration of the utmost importance in a building intended for a music hall. The
architect, George Snell, Esq., has endeavored to combine in this structure the advantages which he has been able to discover by a careful personal examination of numerous music halls in Europe and America. This is of especial importance, as it is proposed to have one of the largest organs in the world placed here.
The entrances are from Winter Street, Bumstead Place, and Bromfield Street Ample accommodations are afforded for drawing rooms, alcoves, offices, &c.
TREMONT TEJiffLE.
This spacious edifice stands opposite the Tremont House, Tremont Street Of a rich warm brown tint, produced by a coating of mastic, it presents a peculiarly substantial and elegant frontage. It is seventy-five feet in height, and, with the exception of ten feet by sixty-eight, which is left open on the north side for light, the building covers an area of thirteen thousand feet.
Passing through the great central doorway, we find our- selves in the spacious entrance hall. On the first floor we observe on our right and left hand two ticket offices, and a broad flight of si airs also on either hand, each of which at their summit terminates in a landing, from whence to right and left diverge two flights of similar staircases, one landing you in the centre of the main hall, and the other to the rear part and the gallery.
The main hall is a magnificent apartment Tlie utter absence of gilding and coloring on its walls renders it far more imposing and grand in appearance than if it had been elaborately ornamented with auriferous and chromatic splendors. It is one hundred and twenty-four feet long, seventy-two feet wide, and fitty feet high. Around the sides of it runs a gallery supported on trusses, so that no pillars intervene between the spectators and the platform, to obstruct the view. The front of this gallerj' is balus-

traded, and by this means a very neat and uniform effect is secured. The side galleries project over the seats below about seven feet. They are fitted with rows of nicely- cushioned and comfortable seats, and are not so high as to render the ascent to them wearisome in the least degree. The front gallery, though it projects into the hall only ten feet, extends bark far enough to give it more than three times that depth.
Directly opposite this gallery is the platform, with its gracefully-panelled, semicircular front. This platform, co- vered with a neat oil cloth, communicates with the side galleries by a few steps, for the convenience of large choirs. There are also several avenues of communication from the platform to the apartments, dressing rooms, &c., behind, which are exceedingly convenient, and are far superior to the places of exit and entrance from and to any other place of the kind that we have ever seen.
From the front of the platform the floor of the hall gradually rises so as to afford every person in the hall a full and unobstructed view of the speakers or vocalists, as the case may be. The seats in the galleries rise in like manner. The seats on the hall floor are admirably arranged in a semicircular form from the front of the platform, so that every face is directed towards the speaker or singer. They are eaeh one numbered, have iron ends, are capped with mahogany, and are completely cushioned with a drab- colored material. Each slip is capable of containing ten or twelve persons, with an aisle at each extremity, and open from end to end.
The side walls of the hall are very beautifully orna- mented in panels, arched and decorated with circular ornaments, which would be difficult properly to describe without the aid of accompanying drawings ; but as views of the interior of the Temple will soon be common enough, the omission here will be of little consequence. As we intimated, there is no fancy coloring ; it is a decorated and relieved surface of dead white, and the effect, lighted as it is from above by large panes of rough plat« glass, is beau- tifully chaste. The only color observable in the hall is the purple screen behind the diamond open work at the back of the platform, and which forms a screen in front of the organ.
The ceiling is very finely designed in squares, at the intersections of which are twenty-eight gas burners, with strong reflectors, and a chandelier over the orchestra, shed- ding a meUow but ample light over the hall. By this arrangement the air heated by innumerable jets of gas is got rid of, and the lights themselves act as most efficient ventilators. The eyes are likewise protected from glare ; and should an escape of gas take place, from its levity it passes up through shafts to the outside, and does not con- taminate the atmosphere below. Under the galleries are
common burners. There are for day illumination twelve immense plates of glass, ten feet long by four feet wide, placed in the ceiling, in the spring of the arch, and open directly to the outer light, and by sixteen smaller ones under the galleries.
The whole of the flooring of the hall, in the galleries, the body of it, and of the platform, consists of two layers of boards, with the interstices between them filled by a thick bed of mortar. The advantages of this, in an acoustical point of view, must be obvious to all. Another advantage is, that the applause made by the audience in this great hall does not disturb the people who may at the same time be holding a meeting in the other hall below, — a very impor- tant consideration.
There are eight flights of stairs leading from the floors of the main hall, and four from the galleries, the aggregate width of which is over fifty feet.
The Boston Young Men's Christian Association occupy several beautiful rooms up one flight of stairs, which are admirably adapted for their present uses and occupants, and are rented by the Association for twelve hundred dol- lars per annum, though it is estimated that they are worth at least fifteen htindred dollars ; but the Temple is owned by a church who were very desirous that a religious asso- ciation should occupy them. The great organ, built by the Messrs. Hook, is one of the finest instruments ever constructed in this country. Its bellows is worked by steam.
The Tremont Temple, besides the great hall, contains a lesser one, called The Meionaon, the main entrance to which is through the northerly passage way, opposite the doors of the Tremont House ; this avenue is about seven feet wide. The southerly passage way serves as an outlet from this lesser temple.
Perhaps the reader, who may not have been initiated into the mysteries of Greek literature, may thank us for a definition of this strange-looking word, " Meionaon." It is so called from two Greek words, — meion, signifying less, smaller, and naon, temple. Lesser Temple. It is pronounced Mi-o-na-on. This lesser temple is situated back from the street, and directly under the great hall. It is seventy-two feet long by fifty-two feet wide, and about twenty-five and a half feet high. Not so elaborately adorned as its neighbor overhead, this hall is remarkably chastely and beautifully fitted up, and within its walls the religious society of Tre- mont Street Baptist Church worship. Its walls are relieved by pilasters supporting arches. The seats are similarly arranged to those in the hall above, and are equally comfor- table and commodious in all respects. At one end is a platform, on which, on Sabbath days, stands a beautiful little pulpit, of dark walnut, and cushioned with crimson velvet. At the other extremity of the hall is a gallery for

a choir ; back of it stands a neat little organ. The place is beautiftilly adapted for sound, and competent judges say, from their own experience, that it is a remarkably easy place to speak in. From the hall to the outer door the way is through a broad passage way covered with Manilla mat- ting let into the floor, so that little dirt can be brought in from the street; and, as the doors swing on noiseless hinges, no interruption from scuffling of feet or slamming can c\ er occur.
The cupola forms a spacious observatory, glazed all round, and from every window is obtained a charming view, the whole forming one of the most superb panoramas that we ever witnessed. From this elevated spot may be seen the adjacent villages and towns, the harbor and its islands the city institutions, churches, houses, and shipping. In short, the whole city and vicinitj- lies at our feet.
HORTICULTURAL HALL. Nearly opposite the City Hall stands Horticultural Hall, a neat stone edifice ; up stairs is the hall, which is lofty, large, and beautiful. It is used for horticultural, panoramic, and other exhibitions.
CLUB HOUSE. The new Club House, situated on the northerly side of West Street, is worthy of notice among the improvements of the city. It is 38 feet in front, 80 feet deep, and 52 feet high. The front elevation is built of Connecticut freestone, in Italian style, and combines great architectural beauty. The first story is occupied by two stores, and a central pas- sage to the second story, in which is a lobby, reading room, and three parlors. In the third story is a hall 35 by 63 feetj and 22 feet high.
VIEW OF THE MASSACHUSETTS GENERAL HOSPITAL.
MASSACHUSETTS GENERAL HOSPITAL.
The Massachusetts General Hospital was incorporated February 25, 1811 : and entitled to an annual income not exceeding thirty thousand dollars, for the support and main- tenance of a general hospital for the sick and insane per- sons. The act granted to the Hospital a fee simple in the estate of the old Province House, on the condition that $100,000 should be raised by subscription within ten years. Large donations for this purpose were made by 1,047 per- sons in the year 1816, at which time the Trustees purchased
the lot on which the McLean Asylum was built, then in Charlestown.
The Hospital building had a front of 168 fief, and a depth of 54 feet, with a portico of eight Ionic columns, but was extensively enlarged in 1846.
It was built of Chelmsford granite, the columns of their capitals being of the same material. In the centre of the two principal stories arc the rooms of the officers of the in- stitution. Above these is the Operating Theatre, which is litrhted from the dome. The wings of the building are divided into wards and sick rooms. The staircase and floor-
112

jngs of the entries are of stone. The Tyhole house is sup- plied with heat by air flues from furnaces, and with water by pipes and a forcing pump. The beautiful hills which surround Boston are seen from every part of the building, and the grounds on the southwest are washed by the waters of the bay.
The premises have been improved by the planting of or- namental trees and shrubs, and the extension of the gravel walks for those patients whose health will admit of exercise in the open air.
By the Act of June 12, 1817, it was provided that the stone to be furnished for the building should be hammered and fitted for use by the convicts of the State Prison. By the Act of February 24, 1818, establishing the Massachu- setts Hospital Life Insurance Company, it was provided that the corporation should pay to the tru.stees of the General Hospital, for the use of the Hospital, the third pari, ofits net - profits. By the Act of Api-il 1, 1825, establishing the New England Mutual Life Insurance Company, it was provided that one-third of its net profits should be paid annually to the Hospital fund. A similar provision was adopted in the charter of the State Mutual Life Assurance Company at Worcester, March, 1844.
The McLeak Astltjm for the Insane.
This Asylum for the Insane was opened to receive board- ers, October 1, 1818, under the direction of the Trustees of the Massachusetts General Hospital, it being a branch of that Institution. It is situated in Somervitle, about one mile from Boston, on a delightful eminence, and consists of an elegant house for the Superintendent, with a wing at each end, handsomely constructed of brick, for the accom- modation of the inmates. Though sufiiciently near to Bos- ton for the convenience of the visitors and trustees, who generally reside in the city, it is not directly on any of its principal avenues, and is sufficiently retired to afFord the quiet and rural serenity which in all cases is found to be conducive to a calm and healthy condition of mind. The name of McLean was given to this Hospital in respect to John McLean, Esq., a liberal benefactor of the General Hospital.
The Hon. William Appleton, of Boston, contributed $10,000 in December, 1843, "for the purpose of affording aid to^uch patients in the JIcLean Asylum, as from strait- ened means might be compelled to leave the Institution without a perfect cure." On the 9th of November, 1850, the same gentleman contributed the further sum of $20,000 for the purpose of erecting two additional edifices, sufficiently large to accommodate eight males and eight females, with such conveniences and facilities as shall enable each to have, not only the care, attention, and comforts, but the luxuries and retirement which they had enjoyed at home.
A large and handsome hall, fifty feet long by twenty-five wide and fourteen high, has been constructed, by raising a story upon one of the buildings of the male side, which furnishes ample room for two billiard tables, — ever an in- teresting and useful exercise for the insane ; and also makes a sort of conversation and reading room, where patients from the different sections may meet for some hours in the day for recreation and intercourse.
It seems to be generally understood through the country that this institution is the most safe, as well as the most eco- nomical, place of resort in all difficult and dangerous cases, especially such as require operation ; one of the consequences of this general sentiment in regard (o the Hospital, is, that many diseases are presented there which, in their nature, are incurable, — whence it has followed, that, as the reputation of the institution has increased the number of cases reported incurable or not relieved has also increased. The patients, under the daily care of skilful, intelligent, and eminent sur- geons and physicians, are watched over by faithful and at- tentive nurses, and in truth the minor officers and domestics, under the vigilant eye of the superintendent and matron, continue to give the sick poor all the comfort and relief, with all the chances of restoration, which the kindness of friends, or the influence of money, could command for those favored with both.
EYE AND EAR INFIRMARY.
This Institution was established in 1824, and incorporated in 1827. It is intended exclusively for the poor, and no fees are permitted to be taken. The new building erected, for its accommodation in 1849, is situated on Charles Street, a short distance southerly of Cambridge Bridge. It consists of a main building 67 feet front by 44 feet deep, and 40 feet 4 inches high, and two wings 25 feet front and 34 ftet high, one 52 feet deep, and the other 63 feet. The front of the principal building is embellished by stone dressings to all the windows, doors, and cornices, in Italian style. The wings retire from the front 1 1 feet, and are perfectly plain. In the basement are the kitchen, washroom, laundry, refec- tory wards, baths, store-rooms, &c. In the first story in the main building are rooms for the matron and committee, and receiving and reading rooms ; in the wings are the male wards, with operating, apothecary, and bath rooms. In the second story are accommodations for the matron and private female wards. The building is heated by two furnaces, and provided with a thorough system of ventilation, and the whole surrounded by a spacious, airy ground, shut out from the street by a high brick wall. Edw. C. Cabot, Architect; Jonathan Preston, Contractor. Cost, land, $25,000; budd- ing, about $29,000 ; total, $54,000.

PERKINS INSTITUTION, AND MASSACHUSETTS ASYLUM FOR THE BLIND
In tho year 1828, the late lamented Dr. J. D. Fisher called the attention of the people of Boston to the neglected condition of the Blind, and made an appeal in their behalf. In consequence of this, several benevolent gentlemen asso- ciated themselves together, and, in 1829, were incorporated by the name of the New England Asylum for the Blind. During several years various attempts were made to put a school in operation, but they were not successful until the year 1832, when Dr. Samuel G. Howe undertook its or- ganization, and commenced the experiment of instructing six blind children. Before the experiment was concluded the funds were exhausted, but it was persevered in to the end of the year, and then an exhibition of the pupils was made before the Legislature and the public, and an appeal was made for aid. This was promptly and generously met. The Legislature voted to make an annual grant of $6,000; the ladies raised $14,000 by a Fair in Faneuil Hall; con- tributions were raised in all the principal (owns of the State, and finally Thomas H. Perkins offered his valuable man- sion house in Pearl Street, provided the sum of $00,000 should be secured to the funds of the institution. The con. dition was accepted, and the liberal merchants of Boston made up all that was needed.
Ihus, as soon as it was proved that the hitherto neglected blind could be instructed, the public were called upon to provide the means. They did so, eagerly and generously ; and rapidly kid abroad the foundation, and raised high the
walls of an institution whiih will probably endure as long as blindness is inflicted upon the community.
This institution may be considered as part of the Com- mon School system of Massachusetts. All ciiizens having blind children may send them here and have them boarded and taught, not as a matter of charity, but of right.
As soon as the success of the enterprise was insured at home, efforts were made to extend the blessings of the sys- tem to the blind of the country genera ly, and the Director, with his pupils, visited thirteen other States, and exhibited their acquirements. In consequence of this, the Legisla- tures of all the New England States, and of South Caro- lina, made liberal appropriations for sending their blind to the new school ; and the foundations were laid in Ohio, Kentucky, and Virginia, for what are now large and flourish- ing institutions for the blind, — New York and Pennsylvania having in the meantime moved of their own accord.
The readiness and eagerness with which the public came forward in answer to the appeal in behalf of the blind is ( reditable to the age and to tho country.
The pupils in the School are taught reading, writins, arithmetic, geography, history, natural philosophy, natural history, and physiology. They are carefully instructed in the theory and practice of vocal and instrumental music. Besides this they are taught some handicraft work by which they may earn their livelihood. In this institution, for the first time in the world's history, successful attempts were made to break through the double walls in which Blind- Deaf-Mutes are immured, and to teach them a systematic language for communion with their fellow men. Laura Bridgman and Oliver Caswell are living refutations of the legal and popular maxim that those who are born both deaf and blind must be necessarily idiotic. They are pioneers in the way out into the light of knowledge, which may fol- lowed by many others.
In 1844 a supplementary institution grew out of the parent one, for the employment in handicraft work of such blind men and women as could not readily find employment at home.
This establishment has been highly successful. A spacious and convenient workshop has been built at South Boston, to which the workmen and women repair every day, and are furnished with work, and pjid all they can earn.
The general course and history of iho Perkins Institution has been one of remarkable success. It has always been under the direction of one person. Dr. S. G. Howe. It has grown steadily in public favor, and is the means of extended usefulness. In 1832 it was an experiment; it had but s'ik pupils ; it was in debt ; and was regarded as a visionary en- terprise. In 1833 it was taken under the patronge of the State ; it wjis patronized by the wealthy, and enabled to obtain a permanent local habitation and a name.
114
SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY.
In 1834, it had 34 pupils from Massachusetts, New York, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Ohio, and Virginia. The pupils remain fiOm five to seven years, and a.'-e discharged. The average number is 100.
The building originally conveyed to the trustees by Col. T. H. Perkins for the uses of the Asylum, in the year 1833 was afterwards exchanged for the present building on Mount Washington, South Boston. This latter property includes about one acre of ground.
The terras of admission are as follows : the children of citizens of Massachusetts, not absolutely wealthy, free; othci-s, at the rate of $100 a year, which covers all expenses except for clothing. Applicanti must be under IC years of age. Adults are not received into the institution proper, but they can board in the neighborhood, and be taught trades in the workshop gratuitously. After six months they are put upon wages.
This department is a self-supporting one, but its success depends upon the sale of goods, at the depot No. 20 Brom- field Street. Here may be found the work of the blind ; all warranted, and put at the lowest market prices ; nothing being asked or expected in the way of charity. The insti- tuion is not rich, except in the confidence of the public, and the patronage of the Legislature.
It is open to the public on the afternoon of the first Saturday in each month, but, in order to prevent a crowd, no persons are admitted without a ticket, which may be obtained gratuitously at No. 20 Bromfiel J Street A limited number of strangers, and persons particularly interested, may be admitted any Saturday in the forenoon, by pre- viously applying as above for tickets.
The Asylum is yearly in receipt of $9,000 from the State.
Articles manufactured by the Blind and kept constantly for sale at the sales-rooms. No. 20 Bromfield Street : Mat- tresses, of all sizes, of superior and common South Ameri- can hair, Cocoanut Fibre, Cotton, Moss, Cornstalk, Palmleaf, Straw, &c.; Improved spiral-spring Mattresses, Palmleaf Palliasses, and Cushions of all kinds, made to order. Bed?, of live geese and Russian feathers ; the feathers are cleansed by steam. Comforters, of all sizes, wadded with cotton or wool, Sheets and Pillow Cases, Bed Ticks. Creish, Diaper, and Damask Towels, from $1 to $4 per dozen. Satchels and Travelling Bags, of all sizes. Entry Mats, Fine woven Mats of Cocoanut Fibre, with colored worsted bodies, equal 1o imported goods, and at less prices. Very heavy Woven Mais lor public buildings. Also, Manilla, Jute, Palmleaf, and open-work Fibre Mats, of various qualities and prices. Sofas and Chairs repaired and restuffed, and Cane Chairs reseated. Particular attention given to making over, cleans- ing, and refitting old mattresses and feather beds.
The asylum realized, in the year 1847, the handsome
sum of $30,000, by the will of the late William Oliver, of Boston.
The experience of the officers of the institution has in- duced the convictions, — 1. That the blind, as a class, are inferior to other persons in mental power and ability ; and 2. That blindness, or a strong constitutional tendency to it, is very often hereditary. The Superintendent says : " I believe that a general knowledge of the existence of this stern and inexorable law will do more to diminish the num- ber of infirmities with which the human race is afflicted than any thing else can do.
" The experience of many years, an acquaintance wiih several hundreds of blind persons, and much personal in- quiry, have convinced mo that when children are born blind, or when they become blind early in life, in conse- quence of diseases which 'lo not usually destroy the sight, the predisposing cause can be traced to the progenitors in almost all cases. Moreover, I believe that where the pre- disposing cause cannot be so traced, it is only in conse- quence of our ignorance, and not because there are exceptions to the rule.
" The hereditary tendency to disease among the progeny of persons related by blood, or of scrofulous or intemperate persons, or of persons whose physical condition is vitiated in various ways, is not seen at once, and may be entirely overlooked, for various reasons. In the first place, there may be only a strong tendency or predisposition to some infirmity, as blindness, deafness, insanity, idiocy, &c., which is not developed without some immediate exciting cause "
The two blind mutes, Laura Bridgraan and Oliver Cas- well, whose instruction was of course entirely difTcrcnt from that of the other pupils, have made very satisfactory pro- gress. They each of them required special care, and the almost undivided attention of a teacher. They continue to be most interesting persons in their way ; and would be distinguiished anywhere, among youth with all their senses, for their happiness, gentleness, afTcction, and truthfulness.
Among the books published by this institution for the use of the blind are the following : The Bible, Lardner's Uni- versal History, Howe's Geography and Atlas, The English Reader (two parts), The Pilgrim's Progress, Life of Me- lancthon. Constitution of the United States, Political Class Book, Principles of Arithmetic, Natural Philosophy, and Natural History, Book of Common Prayer, Tables of Logarithms.
NEW ENGLAND FEMALE MEDICAL COLLEGE.
The Trustees of this Institution have completed negotia- tions with the City Government for the purchase of the Hospital estate on Springfield Street, at the price of $50,- 000, the papers having been signed, and the first payment
SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY
115
made. The land consists of a square of over 40,000 feet — nearly an acre — lying between Springfield and Worcester Streets, fronting on both, and in one of the finest sections of the city. At a fair valuation, it is doubtless worth $50, 000 ; and, as the building is a massive and noble edifice, costing over 551,000, this is a most advantageous purchase for the College. By a vote of the Trustees, the grounds about the building have been named College Square. Trees will be set out and other improvements be made, including perhaps a, fountain, by favor of the City Go- vernment, which has already shown its good will to the institution.
The following statement appears in the daily papers : — • " It is proposed to establish a Hospital for women and children in Boston, in connection with the New England Female Medical College. The objects aimed at are to af- ford to women, during siclsness and in childbirth, a comfort- able home, with medical attendance by their own se.x, and to out-door patients dispensary treatment ; to provide for female medical students the advantages of clinical instruc- tion ; and to give to those entering on the profession of nurses an opportunity of education for their duties. The Hospital will be under the care of Dr. Marie Zakrzewska, formerly of the Royal Hospital in Berlin, late Resident Physician of the New York Infirmary for Women and Children. It will be opened in June, 1859, in the house on Springfield Street, built by the Lying-in-IIospital Corpora- ion, and rooms will be furnished for the use of patients as fast as the funds contributed will permit. Subscriptions and donations in money may be sent to the Treasurer of the Executive Committee, Mrs. C. M. Severance, care of the Atlantic Bank, Boston, or to either of the Managers."
NEW CITY JAIL.
This building is located on Charles Street, on land re- claimed from the ocean, about 100 feet north of Cambridge Street, between that street and the Medical College, and the General Hospital on the north, and about as far from
Cambridge Street as the New Eye and Ear Infirmary is south of it, so that all four of these public buildings are in the same part of the city. They are seen on the whole length of Cambridge Bridge, in approaching the city from the west. Coming in from Cambridge, the Eye and Ear Infirmary, a brick building, appears on the right of the eastern extremity of the bridge ; the new Jail on the left, a centre with wings of split granite, facing the west; farther north, the Medical College, a brick building ; and farther north still, the noble building, the General Hospital, a centre with wings, facing ihe south ; all of them open to the water, and the pure air coming across it.
Thejjilis "cruciform" in plan, consisting of a centre octagonal building, having four wings radiating from the centre. The west wing measures 55 feet in width, and G4 feet in length, and of uniform height with the three other wings, the lower one of which contains the family kitchen and sjullery of the jailor; the second slory have the jailor's office, oflicers' rooms, and jailor's family parlors ; the third story is devoted entirely to the sleeping rooms of the jailor's family and oflicers, and the fourth story is appropri- ated for the hospital and chapel.
The centre octagonal building measures 70 feet square, and 85 feet in height above the surface of the ground. It is but two stories in height, the lower one of which contains the great kitchen, scullery, bakery, and laundry, and is en a uniform level with the lower story of cells in each of the three wings, which contain the same. The upper story is finished eis one " great central guard and inspection room," reaching from the ceihng of the first slorj- up to the i oof of the building ; this room measures 70 feet square, and con- tains the galleries and staircases connecting with the gal- leries around the outside of the cells in the three win^s.
The north, south, and east wings, containing the cells are constructed upon the " Auburn plan," being a prison within a prison ; the north and south wings each measure 80 feet G inches in length, and 55 feet in width, and 5G feet in height above the surface of the ground; the block of cells within each of the north and south wings measure C3 feet G inches in length, 21 feet in width, and 54 feet in height, and are divided into five stories ; each story contains ten cells, each of which measure 8 by 11 feet, and 10 feet high, thus giving to each of these two wings 50 cells.
The east wing measures 104 feet G inches in length, 55 feet in width, and 5G feet in height above the surface of the ground; the block of cells within this wing are 14G feet G inches long, 21 feet wide, and 54 feet high ; it is also divided into five stories in height ; each story contains 24 cells of uniform size with the cells of the northern and southern wings, before described, thus giving to this win" 120 cells.
The spaces around the outside of each block of cells in each of the wings (between the cell walls and the exterior
116
SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY.
walla of the said Tnngs) are " areas," which are open from the floor of the lower story of cells in each wing to the ceiling of the upper story. Galleries of iron extend the entire length of each of these spaces, outside of the cells, on a level with each of the floors. These galleries form a communication with other galleries, which encircle the interior of the "centre octagonal building," on the same uniform level with the other galleries. Each cell contains a window and a door communicating immediately with the galleries of the areas.
All the areas around the outside of the cells of the north, south, and east wings receive light from the great windows of the exterior walls. These windows are thirty in number, each measuring 10 feet in widih, and 33 feet in height, beneath which other windows, 10 feet wide and 9 feet in height, are placed, thus yielding an amount of light to the interior of the cells probably four times as great as
any pri.son yet constructed upon the Auburn system. The jail kitchen and guard or inspection room, of the centre octagonal building, receives light from windows of unifurm size, and arranged in the same manner as those windows in the exterior walls of the wings. The guard or inspection room receives additional light from circular windows placed above the great windows, and from a skylight in its ceiling. The various stories of the west wings are lighted from win- dows arranged uniformly with those in the exterior walls of the wings.
The exterior of the structure is entirely of Quincy granite, formed with split ashler in courses, with cornices, and other projecting portions hammered or dressed; the remaining portions of the entire building, both inside and outside thereof, are of brick, iron, and stone, excepting the interior of the west wing, which are finished with wood.

CITY INSTITUTIONS AT DEER ISLAND.
The general shape of the Deer Island Hospital is familiar to most of our readers. It consists of a large central build- ing, with three wings, all of brick. It was built about 1 0 years ago, by the city, and was first used as an almshouse for State paupers. When, however, the erection of three State almshouses took place, under Gov. Gardner's admin- istration, and the State assumed the charge of its own poor, it was no longer needed for that purpose, and it reverted to the city. The city proceeded to fit it up for a reforma- tory institution and hospital, and Dr. J. M. Moriarty was appointed Superintendent. It was Occupied in this way in 1855.
About two years ago the east wing was completed. This is the largest wing, and is about 300 feet by 50, three stories high, with an attic. To this the House of Reforma- tion for Boys was removed, and it was destroyed by fire Aug. 21, 1859.
The loss by the fire is about $10,000. The city is its own insurer.
At the time of the fire there was very little win(l, a most fortunate circumstance. If the wind, which was easterly, had been strong, or if the fire bad been set, as was intended, at midnight, the whole edifice would doubtless have been destroyed, and there would have been a fearful loss of life.
SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY.
117
A parallel to the recent destruction of the State Reform School was furnished by the burning of the City House of Reformation. Like the former fire, this was set by boys, and in just the same wny.
The sister of one of the boys confined in this institution had an interview with him on Monday last, and gave him a paper containing a full account of the burning of the Reform School, which gave him a hint how to go to work to destroy the institution in which he was confined.
This boy, Michael Riley, had himself been confined at Westborough, where he had made three unsuccessful attempts to burn the building.
The burnt wing was fitted up in the condition in which it was before the fire for a House of Correction, at a cost of about $6000, but has never been used for that purpose. A little more than a year ago, however, the boys in the House of Reformation at South Boston were removed to this place.
In the north wing is the Almshouse, containing about 80 paupers, and the Boylston school (a school for poor Boston boys), containing about 50 pupils.
In the south wing is the School of Reformation for Girls, containing about 30 pupils.
Under the stories of the east, or burnt wing, used as a House of Reformation for Boys, is the House of Industry, which was occupied at night by about three hundred per- sons, — the men occupying five tiers of cells on one side of the wing, and the women five tiers on the other side. Altogether about seven hundred of these people inhabit the island.
The effect of the alarm upon the mixed a;nd nondescript population of this nest of institutions, can better be imagined than described ; but, in all the confusion and excitement that followed, no one was injured by the fire or otherwise.
CITY INSTITUTIONS AT SOUTH BOSTON.
The remaining City Institutions at South Boston are the House of Correction and the Boston Lunatic Hospital. These institutions occupy a contiguous location, on elevated ground, which must eventually be appropriated to other uses, as this section of the ciiy developes its natural advan- tages.
FARM SCHOOL,
THOMPSON'S ISLAND.
The objects of this institution are, to rescue from the ills and the temptations of poverty and neglect those who have been left without a parent's care ; to reclaim from moral
exposure those who are treading the paths of danger ; and to ofi'er to those whose only training would otherwise have been in the walks of vice, if not of crime, the greatest blessing which New England can bestow upon her most favored sons. The occupations and employments of the boys vary with the season. In spring, summer, and autumn, the larger boys work upon the garden and farm. The younger boys have small gardens of their own, which afford them recreation when released from school. In the winter season most of them attend school, where they are instructed in the learning usually taught in our common schools, and some of them are employed in making and mending clothes and shoes for the institution. The winter evenings are oc;cupied with the study of geography and the use of globes, botany, and practical agriculture, lecturing on diflferent subjects, singing, and reading. Every boy in the institu- tion is required to be present during the evening exercises, if he is able. At the age of twenty-one each boy is entitled to a suit of clothes, and, if apprenticed to a farmer, to one hundred dollars in money in addition. The boys are all comfortably clad with woollen clothes, shoes, stockings, and caps, and appear to be as happy in their present situation as boys generally are under the paternal roof They are well supplied with books, and required to keep them in order, — their library containing about four hundred volumes of well-selected books. Opportunities are occasionally offered to the friends of boys at the institution of visiting them on the island in the summer months.
STATE PRISON.
CHARLESTOWX.
The Boston Almanac for 1851 gives the following de- scriptive information : —
A description of the New Jail m Boston, and of the Almshouse at Deer Island, was insetted in the Boston Al- manac for 1850, in a notice of public improvements. There is considerable novelty in the construction of these build- ings; and the plan has been so highly approved that it has been adopted in the enlargement of the State Prison at Charlestown, in the new Almshouse in Cambridn-e, in the new Prison at Dedham, and in the new Jail in Concord, N. H. Proposals are also made for buildings, on a similar plan, for Prisons, Houses of Refuge, or Almshouses, at Northampton, Providence, New York, New Jersey, and Baltimore. They were designed and drawn by Louis Dwight, Secretary of the Prison Discipline Society, and G. J. F. Bryant, architect. A statement of the advantages which these buildings possess has been furnished us by Mr. Dwight, and is subjoined : —

PRINCIPLES OBSERVED IN THE PLANS.
In all tlie plans of these buildings there arc certain great principles observed, among which arc the following: —
1. Size. — The size of these buildings allows from COO to 1,000 cubic feet of space to each individual ; besides their proportion of space in the eating-rooms, school-rooms, hos- pitals, and chapel.
2. Proportions. — The proportions are arithmetic and harmonic, a cube being iheirgerm.
3. Concentration. — These buildmgs are all in the form of a cross, having four wings, united to a cent ral octagonal build- in" ; one for the superintendent and his family, and three of them for inmates; the kitchen being in the centre, in the first story of the octagon ; the supervisor's room over the kitchen ; the chapel over the supervisor's room ; and the hospital over the chapel.
4. Extension. — The parts, all radiating from a common centre, can bo extended without disturbing the central arrangements and architectural design.
5. Convenience. — The keeper's or superintendent's office, eating room, and sleeping room, arc all in proximity to the great central octagonal building ; so that the keeper has eyelets and ready access to the kitchen, supervisor's room, chapel, and hospital, and all the wings; and he can go through the establishment without going out of doors. The inmates receive their food from a large central kitchen ; the wings are all under supervision from one central super- visor's room. The inmates assemble in the chapel and hospital from all the wings without exposure, and without leaving the house.
6. Classificalion. — The men and women, the old and young, the sick and well, can all be separated, in different wings, and different stones of the building ; and all these classes can be kept distinct by placing them in different wings, by the power of central observation and control.
7. Supervision, outside and inside. — All the areas, apart- ments, windows, walls, galleries, staircases, fastenings, ex- ternal yards, and external yard walls, except the space outside at the ends of the wings, are under supervision from the centre. One man can do more, in these buildinns, in consequence of the facilities for supervision, than many men can do in some of the old establishments containing an equal number of inmates.
8. Security against Escape. — In prisons and Houses of Refuge, where security against escape is of great impor- tance, the construction is such, that, if an inmate breaks out, he breaks in — that is, if he escapes from his donnilory into the area, he has still another wall or grating to break, while at the same time, he is in sight from the supervisor's room. There is therefore verj' little encouragement to try to escape from the dormitories. And if the inmates are in the yards, gardens, or grounds around, the supervision ex- tends outside so easily and perfectly, that it affords great security agairst escape.
9. Security against Fire. — Although buildings accordin" to these plans are not wholly fire proof, still the cell floors being stone or iron, the walls brick or stone, the galleries and staircases iron, the doors and gratings iron, the roof slate, and the gutters copper, much of the material is incom- bustible. Besides, the separate rooms or dormitories are literally fire proof; and the remaining parts are extensively exposed to constant observation ; so that a fire, in its first beginning, is easily discovered and extinguished.
10. Warming by steain, hot water, or warm air. — The construction of these buildings is favorable to either mode of warming. If by steam, the steam may be generated in the centre building, and distributed, in one inch wrought iron pipes, under the windows, in four rows of pipes, one above the other on the upright wall, three inches apart, to be enclosed in a box eighteen inches square, made by the
SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY.

floor for the bottom, the outer ivall for the back, a board cover for the top, and an upright board for the front ; the pure air to be received through orifices in the outer wall, and the warm air to be passed into the area through orifices in the front of the box. If the heating is to bo done by hot ■water, substitute a cast-iron pipe, six inches in diameter, near the floor and the wall, under the windows, within a box, similarly constructed to the box around the steam pipes. If the heating is to be done by warm air, place in the centre building, and in the areas, the 13oston School Stove, or, which are on the same principles, Chllson's Furnaces, or any other heating apparatus which is, at the same time, a ventilating apparatus.
11. Lightiruj. — Gas light in the areas will light all the dormitories, and, wherever distributed, will be easily super- vised and controlled from the centre building.
12. Sunlight. — Care is taken in these buildings to have a large surface exposed to the morning, noonday, and after- noon sun. This can be done with the large windows in the outer wall, but it cannot be done with a small window in each small domitory or cell. Much more sunlight can bo brought to shed its healthful and cheering influence over the inmates of these buildings than if the windows in the external wail were as small as they must be if the rooms within were made of a small size and placed on the external wall.
13. Artificial Ventilation. — Each small room, dormitory, or cell, is provided with a ventilator, starting from the floor of the same, in the centre wall, and conducted, separate from every other, to the top of the block, where it is con- nected with a ventiduct, and either acted upon by heat or Emerson's ventilating cap. Both at the bottom and top of the room there is a slide, or register, over orifices opening into this ventilator, which are capable of being opened or shut. These ventilators are intended to take off impure and light air. In the external wall are orifices, pitching out- ward and downward, to take off carbonic acid gas, which may be fatal to life if allowed to accumulate in the lowest part of the building. The large rooms are provided with such orifices by carrjing every third or fourth window to a level with the floor. These means* are used to take ofl" the impure and light a'r, and the heavier and more fatal gasses. To supply pure air, all the heating is made by ven- tilating apparatus.
14. Natural Ventilation. — Through the large windows, when opened, the air can have free course, with all the varying winds, throughout the building, from North to South, from East to West, froai South to North, and from West to East, and obliquely in every direction, according to the direction of the wind, through the octagonal centre building.
15. Water for cleansing and bathing. — For cleansin"
water is let on in every room, and furnished liberally in every story ; and, in different parts of the building, large means arc provided for bathing. Nothing is more indispen- sable, in the plans of such buildings, than convenient and liberal supplies of pure water for cleansing and bathing.
IG. Employment. — Large provision is made, in all these buildings, of floors and space for employment, under cover, with good and suflicient light, convenience, and supervision. In many old buildings there has not been employment, be- cause there was no place suitable for it. This difficulty has received great consideration, and every efibrt has been made entirely to remove it, so that all the inmates of these buildings should be kept out of idleness, which is the mother of mischief. Labor is favorable to order, discipline, in- struction, reformation, health, and self-support. But there can be but little productive industry without a place for it. Suitable places have been provided in all these buildings, whether prisons, almshouses, or Houses of Refuge, for em- plojTnent.
17. Instruction.— School-rooms, Privilege-looms, Chapels, more private rooms and places, and comfortable large single rooms, are provided, in which all kinds of good instruction can be given.
18. Humanity. — The humanity of these buildings is s(;en in there being sufficient space, large light, abundant venti- lation, and airing in summer, good places of labor and in- struction, and good hospital accommodation for the sick.
19. Care of the sick. — The Hospital is large, light, con- venient, easily accessible, well warmed and well ventilated ; 80 that if suitable care is not given to the sick, it will not be because there is no place for it — no suitable hospital accom- modations.
20. Notifying in sickness. — The separate rooms are so located and distributed, under supervision from the centre building, that a gentle knock on the inner side of the door of each separate lodging-room will be heard by the person on duty in the central room for supervision and care, and thus relief can be immediately secured; or, in case of a fit, or sudden and violent attack, without consciousness, the sick person will in all probability be heard, from any separate dormitory in either wing, by the person on duty in the supervisor's room in the centre building.
21. Level Floors. — It is designed to have no stumbling place in either building ; but, on the contrary, that the ofliccrs and inmates may walk over any part of the whole, by day and by night, on level floors. The stairs are the only places where it is impossible to make level floors.
22. Economy. — Great economy is used in these struc- tures ; In the finish — which is perfectly simple, unadorned and substantial — atfording no harbor for vermin, no place of concealment for fire, and yet durable and decent.

We have thus endeavored to give an outline of the prin- ciples which enter into these structures, of their adaptation to the purposes for which they arc erected, and of the im- portance of carrying out the designs according to the plans.
A PRISON INCIDENT.
The recent tragedy in the Massachusetts State Prison brings to mind an anecdote we have heaid related of Col. Austin, when he was Warden of the Prison : —
One of the convicts who was employed in the barber s shop, had threatened he would murder the Warden on the first opportunity. The threat came to the ears of Mr. Aus- tin, who immediately proceeded to the barber's shop, placed
himself in the chair, and ordered the convict to shave him. The fellow inunediately prciceeded to his work, and shaved the Colonel very handsomely. After the process was over, the Warden addressed the convict, told him he had heard of the threats made by him that he would take the War- den's life on the first opportunity that olTered, and he had given him a chance to do it, but he was afraid to. " Now," said the Colonel, " don't let me hear any more threats from you about taking the life of any one, for you know you dare not do it, and you know also that I am not to be frightened at any threat you may make." The convict wais completely cowed, and never afterwards was a threat heard from him. — Portland Advertiser.
NEW STATE A3TLDM FOIl THE INSANE AT TAUNTON.
STATE CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS.
The State has under its control nine charitable establish- ments, viz : — Three Lunatic Hospitals — those of Worces- ter, Taunton, and Northampton; the Reform School for Boys at Westborough ; three Alms Houses, at Bridgewater, Tewksbury and Monson ; a Pauper Hospital at Rainsford Island ; the State Industrial School, for girls, at Lancaster. Besides these, aid is granted by the State to the Asylum for the Blind, at South Boston ; to the Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb, at Hartford ; to the Massachusetts Eye and Ear In- firmary, at Boston ; and to the School for Idiotic and Feeble Minded Youth, at South Boston.
THE STATE LUNATIC HOSPITAL,
WORCESTER, MASS.
This building was partly erected in 1831 and 1832, under an act of the Legislature, pa,ssed March 10, 1830, " for the
erection of a Hospital of suflicient dimensions to accommo- date a superintendent and one hundred and twenty insane or mad persons."
The Board of Commissioners for the erection of this Hospital consisted of Horace Mann, Bezaleel Taft, Jr., and Wm. B. Calhoun. These gentlemen, together wiih Messrs. Alfred Dwi;:ht Foster, and F. C. Gray, formed the Board of Trustees for the year 1833, when the institution first went into operation.
The first patient received into the Hospital was on the 19th January, 1833. From that date until the close of the year there were 164 patients admitted, the average time of their residence there being si.x months in that year.
Thus in the first year it became crowded ; and no less than 30 strenuous applicants were rejected for want of room. In that year Dr. Samuel B. Woodward became the Superintendent.
In 1833 and 1834, 272 patients were admitted and 154

THE PTvTE LUNATIC HOSPITAL, WORCESTER.
dischariTp.tl ; 70 were incurables, who had been previously inmates of jails, alms-houses, and houses of correction for periods ranging from 10 to 32 years. In 1834,47 -were re- ceived, and 46 applications were rejected for want of space. At that period the proportion of insane persons to the whole population was 1 in 1000.
In 1835 an extension was commenced, running back from the former building 134 feet, and 34 feet wide. This addition was occupied September 28, 1 83C, by the class of incurables, being adapted for the occupancy of 57 patients. A north wmg, accommodating 59 persons, was finished in September, 1837.
The Legislature, in 1837, authorized the erection of a chapel, which was finished in the same year ; also a wa.sh- house and a building to con'ain a shoemaker's shop and a carpenter's shop.
In the year 1838 the Legislature granted the sum of $8,000 to defray the current expenses of the Hospital ; and $2,500 for constructing and furnishing proper apartments for the sick.
In the year 1841 the Hospital realized the handsome be- quest of Geo. S. Johonnot, being in cash, mortgages, and stocks, valued at $45,843.72, subject to life annuities to twenty-three individuals, amounting to $2,520 annually.' The United States census of that period indicated that there were then in Massachusetts 1,271 insane persons, about half of whom were believed to be idiots. As the Worces- ter Hospital, the McLean Asylum, and the South Boston Institution, could accommodate 480 persons only, the Trus- tees, in their Annual Report for December, 1842, recom- mended the enlargement of the State Hospital so as to ac-
commodate those insane persons who could not then obtain Hospital room.
In pursuance of this recommendation, in 1843, the Trus- tees were authorized to erect additional buildings, sufficiently large for the accommodation of 150 insane patients, and to provide all necessary accommodations and furniture for the same.
This enlargement was commenced in the fame year, and consisted of a wing extending 100 feet south, and 160 feet east, leaving an open court 64 feet wide between the old and new lateral wings; and was fully adequate for the fur- ther accommodation of 150 additional inmates. This new structure was called the Johonnot Hall, out of respect for the late George S. Johonnot, and his widow, Martha Jo- honnot.
Up to December, 1844, the whole number of patients that had been admitted into the Hospital was 2,013. Of these, 1,750 had been discharged or died, and 263 patients remained The ordinary charge at that date for boarders was $2.25 per week.
In December, 1845, the Trustees reported that accommo- dations were then furnished for about 400 patients ; that a bakery and laundry had been added to the buildings, and abundant water had been obtained from an elevation which allowed its distribution to all parts of the establishment.
On the 24th of June, 1846, the able Superintendent of the institution, Dr. Samuel B. Woodward, who had been connected with it since its commencement in 1832, resigned in consequence of ill health, and was succeeded by Dr. Geo. Chandler on the 1st of the following July.
In 1848, the affairs of the Hospital had become so fully
122

and economically administered that its receipts reacted for that year the sum of $45,406, being SI, 546 beyond the cur- rent expenses; although the price of board had been re- duced from $2 50 per -week to $2.33. In 1850 it was further reduced to $2.25.
In 1847 additions were made to the Hospital by an ex- tension of the north female Johonnot wing, toward the east. • In December, 1849, there were 429 patients remaining in the Hospital under treatment. During the following year, ending December, 1850, 241 patients were admitted and 229 discharged, while 441 remained at that date. The average number for the year was 440 ; the largest monthly average number was 454.
The present buildings have an entire front of 520 feet.
There are five wings of 100 feet in length. The centre of the building is four stories high, with a front of 76 feet. The remainder are three stories high and 36 feet in width. The entire cost of the buildings, with the furniture and the several enlargements from time to time, was about $15 7,600. The cost of the land belonging to the instiution, 100 acres, has been $13,500. Of these sums no less than $47,318 has been derived from donations, principally by Mrs. Martha Johonnot.
The number of rooms provided for the use of patients in August, 1851, was 386. There are 41 rooms for other pur- poses.
The entire number of patients at the same time was 472, viz., 239 males and 233 females.
STATE KKFOnM SCHOOL. WESTBOKOUQH.
STATE REFOEM SCHOOL FOR BOYS,
WESTBOROUGn.
The building represented above was nearly destroyed by fire August 13th, 1859. The fire was set by a boy who took the straw from his bed and placed it in the ventilator in the upper story of the southerly wing of the building.
A locomotive was dispatched over the Agricultural Branch Railroad from Northborough to Marlborough ; and brought up two fire companies and their apparatus. These and other firemen from the surrounding towns, rendered eflRcient aid in arresting the progress of the flames, which were not stayed, however, until the entire building, with the exception of one wooden wing, was consumed.
There were about five hundred and sixty boys in the institution, not one of whom escaped, having all been taken and confined in the barn.
By a resolve dated April 16, 1846, the Legislature made the first move towards the erection of a building for the " State Manual Labor School "; under which resolve, Hons. A. D. Foster, Robert Rantoul, and Samuel H. Walley, Jr., were appointed Commissioners. These gentlemen made their first report in 1847. They stated that an unknown gentleman, who, with a delicacy as remarkable as his muni- ficence, had withholden his name, had given $10,000 in aid of the enterprise, and tendered $10,000 more in case the State should make an equal contribution. It was after- wards discovered that this generous benefactor was Theo- dore Lyman, Esq., of Brookline ; and the sum of his con- tributions, when they were fully realized by the State, amounted, we believe, to about $70,000.
The Commi.-sioners, after consulting with Mr. Lyman, bought the Peters farm in Westborough, consisting of one hundred and eighty acres. Proposals for the erection of

the building were issued, and the lowest bid for erecting them — which was $52,000 — was made by Mr. Daniel Davies, of Boston, and was accepted ; and the work was speedily accomplished. The building was originally de- signed for three hundred pupils. It consisted of a centre and two wings, of one hundred and sixty feet front and rear, and of two hundred feet in depth on each side. The wings were two stories each, the centre three, and the two towers five stories. The foundation was of stone, and the walls brick, with a slated roof The centre was fitted up
for the superintendent and his family and assistants, and contained a commodious chapel. The east wing was occu- pied by the steward and his family, and in it were the kitchen and other working rooms and the hospital. In the west wing were two large school rooms and ranges of dor- mi ories. In the second story of the rear was the large workshop. The building cost, when finished and furnished, $65,516. It has since been much enlarged and improved. The cost of the entire institution to the State up to last year was, for buildings and lands, $165,000.
STiTB ALMSHOrSB AT TEWKSBDUY.
STATE ALMSHOUSES.
There are three State Almshouses in the Commonwealth for the reception and support of Paupers having no legal settlement within its limits, constructed of wood, on the plan represented in the accompanying engraving. One, for the district composed of Suffolk, Essex, and Middlesex Counties, is situated in the town of Tewksbury, Middlesex County, about twenty miles from Boston and seven from Lowell, at the junction of the Salem and Lowell, and Low- ell and Lawrence, and Boston Railroads : one, for the dis- trict composed of the counties of Norfolk, Bristol, Plj-mouth, Barnstable, Dukes, and Nantucket, situated in the town of Bridgewater, Plymouth County, on the Fall River Rail- road ; one, for the district composed of the counties of Hampden, Hampshire, Franklin, Berkshire, and Worcester, situated at Monson, County of Hampden, at the junction of the Western and Amherst and New London Railroads. The buildings are so constructed as to form a square in the centre, with the exception of an opening of about twenty- five feet The whole front, including the superintendent's part, which is in the centre, and four stories in height.
measures one hundred and ninety-eight feet, the side wIuts one hundred and twenty-five feet each, and the rear wing one hundred and twenty-nine feet. There is a cellar under the whole, a part of which is converted into a wash-room, bath-room, and bakery. Each building is capable of accom- modating from six to eight hundred inmates, being also pro- vided with apartments for schools, religious services, the superintendent and family, and also for the physician and officers of the institution.
Attached to the several buildings are farms, containing from one hundred and forty to one hundred and seventy- five acres each of land, well adapted to the condition and capacities of the inmates, who are required to perform such labor as such condi ion and capacities will permit. The out-buildings consist of barns eighty by forty feet, work- shops two stories in height, seventy-five by thirty-five feet cattle and carriage sheds, &c. The sum of $190,000 was expended by the commissioners in the purchase of the farms, construction of the buildings, furniture, heating, plumbing, &o., the whole appropriation being $210,000, which covered the expenditure for architects, commissioners, and $10,000 for the repair and fitting up of the buildings

of the Commonwealth on Rainsford Island as a State Pau- per Hospital. The act establishing the institution, and authorizing the construction of the buildings, was approved by Gov. G. S. Boutwell, May 20, 1852. The commissioners appointed to superintend the construction of the buildings^ the purchase of the farms, &c., were Edw. L. Keyes, James J. Maguirc, and David Perkins.
The act above mentioned provided also for the fitting up of the buildings at Rainsford Island for a hospital for the sick, and * 10,000 were appropriated and expended. The several buildings were opened for the reception of inmates on the first of May, 1854, by proclamation of the Governor, the several superintendents having been previously ap- pointed. Previous to the ado|jtion of the new system for the support of the State Paupers, the towns and cities of the Commonwealth were obligated to keep and maintain those paupers having no legal settlement, who should become proper subjects of aid within their limits, and were author- ized to draw on the treasury of the Commonwealth for their support the sum of forty-nine cents per week for adults, and twenty-eight cents per week for children. The act of 1852 provides that thirty, days after the opening of the State institutions, no city or town shall receive any pay or allowance from the Commonwealth for the support of such State Pauper, prowWerf (Sec. 4, Act 352, 1853), " If in any city or town there shall be remaining any. State paupers after the three State institutions for their reception are full, such paupers shall be placed in the district poor- houses, and such city or town shall receive payment for them from the treasury of the Commonwealth, until notified by the superintendent, to whom application has been made, that such pauper can be received. The superintendents, who are required to give bonds with surety, as the inspec- tors may require, are appointed by the Governor and Council, and their salaries are determined by the inspectors, subject to the approval of the Governor. It 's the duty of the superintendent to receive all paupers as aforesaid, vdlh a proper certificate of the Miyor of the city, or one of the Overseers of the Poor of the town, from which they may be so sent, and to provide for them according to law. Three inspectors are appointed to each institution, by the Go- vernor and Council, who are to reside in the vicinity thereof, whose duty it is to establish rules and regulations for the proper management and government of the institu- tion, subject to the approval of the Governor, and see that they arc enforced, and one of them is required to visit each of the institutions at least once in each week. Their com- pensation is one hundred dollars per annum and travelling expenses. At least one member of each board is to be appointed annually. The inspectors have the power to bind as apprentices minors who are inmates of the institu- tion under their charge ; the same authority in causing the
inmates of said institution to be returned to the place or county from which they came, as is now vested in the Overseers of the Poor in the several cities and towns.
Lunatics. — No city or town has a right to send to these institutions any lunatic, who, by reason of his insanity, would be dangerous at large. And if any inmate shall be- come such a lunatic, the inspectors may apply to two Justices of the Peace and of the Quorum for the county in which the institution is situated, who shall have the same power and authority in all respects, in regard to such appli- cation, and the commitment of such lunatic to either of the State Lunatic Hospitals, as Judges of Probate now have in regard to lunatics furiously mad ; provided, that it shall not be necessary to give notice of such application to the officers of any town or city ; and the expense of supporting such pauper in such hospital shall be charged to and paid by the Commonwealth. If any inmate of either of said institu- tions, above the ago of sixteen years, shall leave the same without the consent of the inspectors, and shall, within one year from the time of such leaving, be found within any city or town of the Commonwealth soliciting public or pri- vate charity, he shall, upon coinplaint and proof thereof be'bre any Police Court or Justice of the Peace, be punished by confinement to hard labor in the House of Ccrreciion for the county in which he shall so be found, for a term not exceeding three months.
The buildings at Rainsford Island were designed to ac- commodate all foreign paupers arriving by water, who can- not, on account of sickness, be removed to one of the other institutions, and the city of Boston, and all the cities and towns in the Commonwealth, are authorized to send sick State Paupers to the Island, so far as there may be accom- modation thereat not inconsistent with the original design above mentioned. This system was designed to establish a strict discipline among the paupers, to afford them better opportunities for instruction, and to enable them to do some- thing in aid of their own support. It relieves the towns and cities of a considerable burden of trouble and expense, without, it is hoped, imposing a great additional expense upon the Commonwealth. Several hundredi who were receiving support in the poor-houses of the cities and (owns at the time of opening the new institutions, left to be sup- ported by their friends or relatives, or to take care of themselves.
UNITED STATES ]\URINE HOSPITAL AT CHELSEA.
This stately edifice is located on an elevated site in Chel- sea, overlooking the harbor and surrounding country. It was erected by the National Government, for the benefit of invalid seamen. It is a new structure, and is now occu- pied for the purposes to which it is devoted.

tINITED STATES AEMOKY, BPHrNQFIELD.
THE UNITED STATES ARMORY, SPRINGFIELD.
This is one of the manj- public works in our State that deserve a very careful examinaiion, accompanied with some knowledge of the extensive operations carried on, and of the results of the labor employed.
The annory, together with the offices and the various buildings for manufacturing and storage of the public arms, is situated on Springfield Hill, within the town of Spring- field, and overlooking the valley of the Connecticut River for several miles. The general government here own 72 acres and 2 rods of land on the hill ; also, 19 acres and G6 rods for what are termed the upper and middle water shops, and 10 acres and 102 rods for the lower water shops, — making altogether 102 acres and 10 rods of public land.
The main building is the new Arsenal. This is 200 feet lonn- by 70 feet in widlh, and 50 feet in height. This building is three stories high, and is sufficiently large for the storage of 100,000 muskets. The front of the building is ornamented by a pediment, 70 feet wide by 12 in depth. The tower is 89 feet high and 29 feet square, above which the flag-staff rises 60 feet.
Another prominent building, 400 feet long by 55 feet wide, and 2 stories high, is used for the storage of musket stocks and lumber. A sufficient supply of seasoned limber is kept for four years' manufacture of gun slocks. On the hill are erected ten dwelling houses and six workshops, all owned by the government.
The number of persons employed at the several work- shops and as officers, was as follows : —

The manufacture of a single musket is effected by four hundred different operations, and the majority of the men employed engage in only one of the operations. A larger number of muskets was manufactured last year than any year previous ; and a calculation based upon the number turned out shows that throughout the year of 313 working days, of ten hours each, a musket was completed every 8 minutes and 56 seconds. The various parts of the muskets pass, during their manufacture, through the hands of in- spectors, who, with their gauges, determine the exact di-

mensions of eyery piece, and reject every one that is not exactly what is required. Thus, a hundred thousand mus- kets might be taken to pieces, and thrown promiscuously into a pile, and the whole taken up and put together again without the misfit of a single component to its appropriate place. Thus, too, when the arms are in use, there is never need of sending them to the armory for repairs. Hammers, screws, springs, &c., furnished from the armory as extras, will take the place of any damaged part precisely as if they were made for the arms to be repaired.
The process of manufacturing the musket barrel is one of extreme nicety, and is guarded by numerous tests. The bar, which is of the best Salisbury and Anerom refined iron, is cut into lengths weighing 10| pounds each. These are rolled into shapes, the edges rolled up, lapped upon each other, and then welded. These undergo an inspec- tion, and the imperfect ones are rejected. When subjected to the powder test, each barrel! is discharged twice ; the first time by a charge of one-eighteenth of a pound of pow- di-r, one ball, and two wads, — the second containing one twenty-second of a pound of powder, one ball and two wads. Fifty-five barrels are usually loaded and discharged at the same time, in a building expressly used for this purpose.
Out of the whole number of barrels constructed during the last year, 5,774 were condemned as imperfect, — of which 451 were for defective workmanship, and 5,323 for defective material.
The following is tne weight of a musket, in detail and total, expressed in pounds and hundredths of a pound : —
Weight of barrel, 4.85
Weight of locks and side screws, 0.85
Weight of bayonet, 0.68
Weight of musket without bayonet, 9.14
Weight of musket complete, 982
It will be thus seen that a complete percussion musket weighs ten pounds, lacking eighteen-hundredths. This weight is less than that of the old flint musket
The exact cost of a single musket, of the number manu- factured last year, cannot be stated, the inventory being uncompleted; but the cost in 1850 was $9,03^. The cost for last year will be less. In ten years, the cost of manufac- ture, per musket, has been reduced nearly one-half, it be- ing in 1841, $17,44.
PLACES OF AMUSEMENT, ETC.
BOSTON THEATRE,
301 WASHIXOTON STREET.
The Boston Theatre is one of the finest places of amuse- ment in the world, and by far the most beautiful in Amer- ica. It is situated on Washington and Mason Streets. The entrance front on the former is a simple three story build- ing, twenty-four feet in width, covered with mastic, and with no attempt at architectural displa}'. On entering, the visitor ascends the inclined plane of a spacious and elegant outer vestibule, the walls of which, handsomely ornamented, support a finely-arched ceiling. Here we procure tickets, and enter the inner vestibule ; before us is a circular staircase, nine feet in width ; ascending, we find it conducts to the first and second circles. Entering the auditorium, we find it to be about ninety feet in diameter, and circular in form, except that it slightly flattens in the direction of the stage ; the depth from the curtain to the back of the parquet being eighty-four feet. The front of the stage projects into the auditorium eighteen feet, and the height of the auditorium is about fifty-four • feet. There are proscenium boxes on either side of the stage, handsomely draped. A space of
ten or twelve feet fi-om tlie parquet wall, and nearly parallel with the fiont of the first tier, is separated and somewhat

raised from the middle portion of the house, the whole parquet floor, however, being constructed in a dishing form, and varying several feet. Around the auditorium above are the first and second tiers, the gallery, and hanging in front, a little below the first tier or dress circle, is a light balcony containing two rows'of seats.
In the parquet and balcony there are Iron-framed chairs, cushioned on the back, seat, and arms, and so contrived that the seat rises when not in use ; and the first and second tiers are furnished with oaken-framed sofas, covered with crimson plush, and the amphitheatre with iron-framed and cushioned settees.
The walls of the auditorium are ot a rose tint, the fronts of the balcony and the second circle are elaborately and tastefully ornamented, and the frescoed ceiling embraces in its design allegorical representations of the twelvemonths. Adding to the effect of the painting, the ceiling is decorated with composition ornaments, many of them richly gilded. In front, over the stage, is a solendid clojk, with a mova- ble dial.
Returning to the vestibule, we turn to the right, under the arches, and reach the parquet lobby. Passing through this apartment, we reach the saloon and dressing rooms of this story. The parquet corridor is gained by turning to the left, through the arches, until we arrive at the foot of
the grand oaken staircase, which is built of solid oak, and separates on a broad landing into two branches, nine feet in width, which terminates in the dress circle lobby. Opposite the staircase are open arches communicating with the grand promenade saloon, which is forty-six feet long, twenty- six feet wide, and tastefully finished with ornamented walls and ceiling, and is elegantly furnished. The corridors to the several stories extend entirely round the auditorium.
The stage side of the theatre is on Mason Street, and the doors and arches, breaking the sameness of the brick wall, comprise a passage leading to the carpenter's shop and works, a set of double doors for the introduction of horses, carriages, &c., should such ever be required for the purposes of the stage, a private door for the use of the actors, and an audience entrance at the comer of the building nearest West Street.
The stage is sixty-seven feet deep from the curtain, and, calculated from the extreme front, or foot lights, measures eighty-five feet. The curtain opening is about forty- eight feet in width by forty-one in height. There is a depth of some thirtj' feet below the stage, and the height from the stage to the fly floor is sixty-six feet. These distances allow the raising and lowering of scenes without hinges or joints, the use of which soon injures their appearance. There are seven rows of side scenes, or wings, with consid- erable space beyond the most remote, for perspective. The stage is provided with traps, bridges, and all imaginable contrivances for effect, and is believed to unite more improvements, and to be the best arranged, of any structure of the kind in this countrj'.
The green-room, on the level of the stage, is a decidedly comfortable looking apartment, thirtj'-four by eighteen feet, neatly finished and tinted, handsomely carpeted, and fur- nished around the sides with cushioned seats, covered with dark green enamelled cloth. Adjoining it is a small " star '• dressing room, appropriately fitted, and near by is an apartment for the manager, also a small property room. Above these are the actors' dressing rooms, furnished with water, heating apparatus, and all necessary conveniences ; and still higher is the stage wardrobe room.

stage there are additional a spacious property store-
On tlie other side of the dressing rooms ; above these room. Below (he extreme front of the stage is located the usual apartment for the use of the orchestra, with side rooms for the storage of music, instruments, &c. Farther back is a large dressing room for the supernumeraries, and two or three stories of cellars arranged for the reception of scenes from above, and for a variety of other purposes. The walls separating the stage from the auditorium are of brick, and considered fire-proof, while the curtain opening is provided with a safety screen of iron net^work, balanced by weights, and managed with machinery so arranged as to be operated from eiiher side of the curtain wall. Should any portion of the stage or its surroundings ever take fire during a performance, this curtain can bo immediately lowered, and a(Turd complete protection to an audience.
NATIONAL THEATRE.
This establishment was erected during the summer of 1852, from a design by Bdlings. It is about 150 feet long on Traverse Street, by 84 feet front on Portland Street- The rear is on Friend Street. The building has a pleasin" architectural front, covered with dark brown mastic. It is well situated on the junct'on of several great thoroughfares, and in the immediate vicinity of Charlestown, from which it probably derives a large portion of its patronage.
The Theatre has every convenience of ingress and en-ress. The principal entrance on Portland Street, is from three arched doors to the ticket ofHcc. Stairs to the right lead to the first floor ; on the left, to the family circle or second tier ; and from a door on the left of the front, to the uooer tier or gallery.
The lobbies are large and convenient. The audience
portion of the theatre, or auditorium, is nearly a circle, of about 80 feet diameter. The whole lower floor is used as a parquette, or, as formerly called, pit ; there is a division between what is properly called the parquette and the bo.\es, or dress circle, making the parquette itself about 50 feet diameter. The parquette has seats for a few over 400 ; dress circle the same number. The family or second circle has seats for between 500 and GOO, but lias held 700 per- sons; the gallei-y seats a few over 1,000 persons ; making a total, comfortably seated, of about 2,500 persons.
The stage is GO feet deep by 7G feet wide, and is well adapted to the class of performances usually played at this theatre, chiefly Melo-drama.
HOWARD ATHEN^UM.
The Howard Athena;um is centrally located, and fronts on Howard Street occupying the spot where once stood the house in which Governor Eustis died. The theatre, al- though not large, is one of the most comfortable places of amusement in the city, and is deservedly popular.
BOSTON MUSEUM,
TEEMONT, NEiR COURT STREET.
Perhaps of all the places of public amusement in the good city of Boston, not one is so generally popular as this. Nor is its great success undeserved ; for it has ever been the aim of its enterprising proprietor, Hon. Moses Kimball, while providing every possible novelty for the gratification of the masses, to carefully exclude every thing that could be in the slightest degree objectionable. Hence the

BOSTON MUSEfM, TREMOXT STKECT.
Museum lias been the great family resort, as well as the visitor's choicest treat.
First, for its locality. On Tremont Street, between Court and School Streets, it stands, a spacious and superb building, its front adorned by elegant balconies and rows of ground glass globes, like enormous pearls, which at night are luminous with gas. Three tiers of elegantly arched windows admit light into the building, and we reach the interior by a bold flight of stairs.
At the summit of these stairs is an elegant ticket and treasurer's office, and adjoining it the entrance to the Grand Hall of Cabinets, which is surrounded by a gallery, and whose ceiling is supported by noble Corinihian pillars. Around the gallery front are arranged portraits of celebrated Americans. On the floor of the hall are statuary and superb works of art, and, arranged in glass cases, curiosities from all parts of the known world.
The galleries, reached by a grand staircase, are filled with the rich and rare products of many a clime ; not an inch of space is thrown away. Ascending still higher, we find a superb collection ot wax figures, singly and in groups ; and surmounting all is an observatory', whence splendid panoramic ^^ews of the city, the harbor, and its islands may be obtained.
The Museum Theatre is one of the most beautifully decorated, best constructed, and well managed theatres in the United States. The ■(•isitor there has no rowdyism to fear, and nothing ever occurs, either in the audience portion or on the stage, to offend the most fastidious. As good order is maintained in Mr. Kimball's theatre as in any drawing-room in the land. The company, too, is always first rate. Some of our best actors have been trained on the Museum boards. But, besides ha^nng a stock company which cannot be surpassed, " stars " of the first theatrical magnitude are often engaged ; and brilliant spectacles, with all the accessories of superb scenery, delicious music, gorgeous costumes, banners, and other appropriate appoint- ments, are produced several times in each season, in all the magnificence that money and skill can accomplish, and are a marked feature of the place, that cannot easily be sur- passed. Few persons who visit Boston, ever think of quitting without paying the Museum a visit, for it contains amusement and information for all.
The Museum building alone cost nearly quarter of a million of dollars, and covers twenty thousand feet of land, the whole of which, with its numerous cabinets, is crowded with every variety of birds, quadrupeds, fish, reptiles, insects, shells, minerals, fossils, &c. Then there is the

SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY.
Feejee Mermaid, alluded to by Barnum, in Lis Autobiogra- phy, together with more than one thousand costly paintings, among ■which is Sully's great picture of Washington crossing the Delaware, portraits by Copley, West, Stuart, &c. In short, there are to be seen nearly five hundred thousand articles of every conceivable rare and curious thirg of nature and art in the Museum, and all for the marvel- lously small sum of twenty-five cents. The theatre is open every evening, and on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons.
ORDWAY HALL,
165 WASHINGTOK STREET.
Ordway Hall is situated in Province House Court. The building is very old; and, when Massachusetts was a pro vince, the colonial governors resided here. The king's coat of arms that once adorned this building, is still treasured in the rooms of the Massachusetts Historical Society, and seems to have suffered more from the tooth of time than the staunch old building it once adorned. Perhaps the smoke from Lexington and Concord dimmed its bright colors, tarnished its gilding, and caused it to be laid aside forever. The walls of this old house, that once echoed with king's decrees, eloquent speeches, and loyal toasts, now ring with the gay laugh, tender songs, and humorous jests of the
negro minstrel. The hall has become deservedly popu- lar, as order is preserved and all that may offend banished.
GRAND AQUARIA,
21 BROMFIELD STREET.
This is a magnificent display of some of the most fasci- nating phenomena of nature.
These Ocean Conservatories are filled with rare marine animals, imported and collected expressly for this estab- lishment.
They present us with a perfect and striking illustration of life beneath the waters.
Visitors will find the microscopic department particularly interesting. The objects are numerous and frequently changed, so as to embrace a great variety. Some of those on exhibition are extremely beautiful, as for instance, a but- terfly's tongue, a specimen of pepper wood, and salicine in polarized light. Another curiosity is the Lord's Prayer engraved on glass, presenting only a faint line to the eye, but distinctly seen under the glass. More than five thou- sand of the same size could be inscribed in a square inch. Some of the different substances for polarizing light, nitre, sugar, &c., are also beautiful in the varying combinations of color they afford.
Open daily (Sundays excepted) from 9 A.M. to 10P.M.
Admission 20 cts. Children under ten yearsof age, 1 Sots.
BOSTON WATER WORKS.
No improvement of greater magnitude or importance has ever been undertaken by the city than the Water- Works. Boston, though originally selected as a place of residence for its abundance of pure water, for many years has not contained within itself an adequate supply.
As early as Feb. 26, 1795, the Boston Aqueduct Com- pany was incorporated for the purpose of introducing into the city the water of Jamaica Pond, in Roxbury. This pond, at its highest elevation, is 49 feet above tide-water, and is capable of a maximum daily supply of about 50,000 gallons. In 1845, the company had laid about five miles of 8 and 4 inch iron pipe, and ten miles of wooden pipe, conveying the water to nearly 3,000 houses. This was inadequate to meet the wants of the city.
At the taking of the census in 1845, a careful examina- tion to ascertain the supply of water in Boston was made, with the following results : —
Classes of noQses.

Various Commissions had been constituted by the city, at different times between 1825 and 1844, to examine the waters in the neighborhood, for the purpose of selecting one

■which could properly be introduced into the city. None was, however, definitely agreed upon. In August, 1844, Messrs. Patrick T. Jackson, Nathan Hale, and James F. Baldwin were appointed Commissioners " to report the best mode and expense of bringing the waters of Long Pond into the city " ; and they reported on the 9th of November following. At the next session of the Legislature, an act was passed giving authority to the city to construct the works, but, on submitting It to the people, the act was not accepted.
In 1845, another Commission, consisting of John B. Jervis, of New York, and Walter R. Johnson, of Philadel- phia, was appointed to report the best sources and mode of supply. Their report was made November 18, 1845, and recommended Long Pond. An act, granting the necessary powers, with the authority to create a city debt of S3,000,000, was passed by the Legislature, March 30, 1846, and accepted by the legal voters of the city, April 10, 1846. Other necessary preliminary measures were taken. Nathan Hale, James P. IJaldwin, and TB'omas B. Curtis were appointed on 4th May, 1846, Water Commissioners, and they entered immediately on the discharge of their duties. In conse- quence of the increased expenditures on the work, an additional act of the Legislature was passed May 1, 1849, authorizing an additional debt of $1,500,000.
Long Pond, or Lake Cochituate, as it was named in 1846, lies in the towns of Framingham, Natick, and Way- land. The gatehouse of the aqueduct is in Wayland, near the Natick line. It contains 659 acres, and drains about 11,400 acres, and is in some places 70 to 80 feet in depth. It is divided into two sections by a dam at the wading place, on the highway across the lake from Framingham to Cochituate Village. The northerly section, connected with the aqueduct, contains about 200 acres ; and the southerly section, which is held in reserve, to be drawn upon as wanted, contains about 459 acres. It will supply, according to the lowest estimate, 10,000,000 gallons of water daily.
Two Compensation Reservoirs, to supply the water rights on Concord River, instead of Long Pond, have been con- structed. The Whitehall reser\oir in Hopkinton, contain- ing 576 acres, and capable of yielding, for three months, 12,000,000 gallons of water each 24 hours; and the Fort Meadow Brook reservoir in Marlborough, containing 290 acres.
The ran^e between high and low water will be about 7i feet. At its highest elevation it will be about 12 feet above the bottom of the aqueduct at the outlet, and 1 35 feet above high-water at Boston. At its lowest level the water will be 1 24.86 feet above high-water. The fall from the Lake to the Brookline reservoir is 4.26 feet, making the
height of the reservoir at its lowest level, 120.60 feet above high water mark. The reservoir will, however, retain the water safely, 2| feet higher, or 123 feet above high-water, or 1 6 feet above the floor of the State House.
The Fountain Bjisin on the Common is about 24J feet above high- water, or 96 feet below the minimum level of the Brookline reservoir, and a 3 inch jet has been raised thence 92 feet, or within 4 feet of its source, though that source is at a distance of 4^ miles. In the lower parts of the city, the water, conveyed through a hose of the ordinary size of 2^ inches, attached to one of the hydrants, wi 1 throw a column of water, without the aid of a fire engine, by the force of the head on the pipe, to the height of 75 or 80 feet.
The distance from the Lake to Beacon Hill Reservoir is

The Brookline Reservoir is a beautiful structure, of irregular, elliptic shape. The land purchased, including the surrounding embankment, with the necessary margin for its protection, was 38 acres. The area of the surface of the water is about 22^ acres. It is capable of containing about 100,000,000 gallons of water.

SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY,
The Beacon Hill Reservoir is a structure of massive stone masonry. Its exterior dimensions are, on Derne Street 199 feet and 3 inches; on Temple Street 182 feet and 11 inches; on Hancock Street 191 feet and 7 inches; and on the rear of Mount Vernon Street 20S feet and 5 inches. Its height, from the foundation to the top of the coping, exclusive of the railing, is, on Derne Street, 66 feet, and on the rear of Mount Vernon Street 43 feet. The founda- tion or substructure which is to support the basin, or reser- voir, of water, rests on arches of immense strength, 14| feet span. The laternal basin walls which are to retain the water are 12 feet within the faces of the exterior walls on the streets. They are raised from the bottom of the reser- voir or basin to the height of 15 feet and 8 inches, including 20 inches of coping. The contents of the basin is equal to 2,678,961 wine gallons, and its mean horizontal section equal to 28,014 square feet. The line or level, at this reservoir, corresponding to the maximum level of the water in the reservoir at Brookline, which is about 123 feet above marsh level, or high-water-mark, run about 7 inches on the coping, or 14 feet and 7 inches above the bottom of the basin ; and the minimum level of the Brookline Reservoir 2J feet below this hne. It must be apparent that whatever may be the height of water at Brookline, it must, when flowing, be a lower level on Beacon Hill. The difference in the height of water in the two reservoirs will vary with the supply and discharge.
On the northerly side of the reservoir are two granite tablets, on which are cut the following inscriptions : — ■

The South Boston Reservoir is situated on Telegraph Hill, the old " Dorchester Heights." It is entered by a 20 inch pipe from the main in Tremont, through Dover Street, over the South Free Bridge. The water is about 16 feet deep, of the same height as Beacon Hill Reservoir, and it will contain 7,000,000 gallons.
The water is conveyed from the Lake (o the Brookline
Reservoir in an aqueduct, excepting 965 feet across the valley of Charles River, where are two parallel iron pipes of 30 inches in diameter. There are two tunnels, one in Newton of 2,410^ feet, and another in Brookline of 1,123^ feet. The former passes through a hill 86 feet below the surface, at its highest elevation. The aqueduct is built principally of brick masonry, in an oval, egg shape, 6 feet 4 inches in height by 5 feet in width, and has a gradual fall for the whole distance, including the pipe section, of 3, J inches to the mile, nearly. With this fall, and a depth of 3 feet 10 inches of water, when the conduit is two-thirds full, it is estimated to convey 11,000,000 gallons per day. From the Brookline Reservoir it has been conveyed to the city in two main 36 inch iron pipes. A third main pipe is now added.
In May, 1851, the Cochituate Water Board purchased the property of the Jamaica Pond Aqueduct Company (ex- cepting a small lot of land) for the sum of $45,000. This transfer of property and interest^ was made by a corporate act of the latter to and confirmed by the individual transfer of shares held. This purchase was recommended by the Water Commissioners in December, 1846, at a cost not exceeding $80,000. The receipts of the Jamaica Pond Company had been of late years $38,000 per annum and the net revenue $22,000.
In order to supply every portion of the city with the Cochituate water, pipes have been laid from the Fitchburg Railroad depot (Haverhill Street) to East Boston. This has been accomplished by placing pipes under the Warren Bridge leading to Charlestown, across Charles River, and under Chelsea Bridge, across Mystic River ; then led into other pipes leading through Charlestown and Chelsea, and thence to the reservoir at East Boston.
The main pipe for the supply of East Boston is 20 inches in diameter, and commences at HajTnarket Square. It crosses Charles River on the lower side of the Warren Bridge, partly on independent pile work, passing the draw by means of an inverted syphon, which leaves sufficient space for the largest class of vessels that can pass this bridge. Thence it passes through the Square and Chelsea Street in Charlestown, and thence across Mystic River, on independent pile work, by the upper side of Chelsea B(idge. In passing this stream, two inverted syphons (vere placed opposite the draws in Chelsea Bridge, one near the Charlestown shore, and the other near the Chelsea shore. The latter leaves a clear space of 50 feet, which is consid- erably more than the width of the draw opposite. The enlargement was made on account of the possibility of a larger class of vessels being built at Medford than has been constructed there heretofore. The main then passes along the Salem Turnpike, and through Williams and JIarginal
SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY.
133
Streets in Chelsea, and about 400 feet beyond the grounds of the United States Marine Hospital it turns and crosses Chelsea Crock to the reservoir on Eagle Hill. The channel of this creek is passed by a flexible pipe, instead of a pile bridge and syphon near the East Boston Free Bridge, as it was originally contemplated.
From the Report of the C"chituale Water Board to the City Council of Boston, for the year 1858, we gather the following information : —
The daily consumption of water during the year 1858, (as appears from the Engineer's Report), was 12,847,000 wine gallons. Estimating the number of inhabitants at 173,000, the daily individual consumption averaged 73 gallons.
Tne subject of meters has received a good share of the attention of the Board; and it is a pleasure to state that Worthington's meters, which have been tested to a con- siderable extent, bid fair (o be reliable. Made of iron, they are subject to corrosion ; but made of composition, they are thought to be unexceptionable. The use of meters in sev- eral cases appears to be indispensable, and it is thought bo^t, in replenishing the stock of the city, that an article worthy of confidence, both in accuracy and durability, should be obtained.
The whole length of pipe of 4-inch and upwards, laid in the city, is now a little over 122 miles.
The number of new stopcocks is 21, making the whole number 1,046.
The number of service pipes laid during the year is 842, making the whole number 21,326,
New hydrants to the number of 23 have been established in the different parts of the city, making the whole number 1,331.
The whole amount received for water rents during the year has been $303,934.73.
The number of water takers is now 22,414, being an in- crease during the year of 8 1 2 — a greater increase than has occurred in any of the last four years.
A statement of receipts and expenditures during the last year, by the clerk of the Water Board, or service clerk, is annexed. The whole amount of expenditures appears to be $76,006.01, including cost of laying pipes over the Dover Stree*: Bridge, $5,752.70, which should properly go to appropriation for Bridges. Of this, $47,561.41 was for the extension of the AVorks, leaving $28,444.60 as the amount of the expenses of this department for the last year — being less than the expenses of 1857 by $1,733.30. This is quite an auspicious circumstance, that while the Works have been extended, the expense of taking care of them is diminished.
The usual classification of the various water tenants has
been prepared in a condensed form, and a statement of the amount paid by each class, the whole being collated with similar tables for the preceding year, is here inserted : —

The Report gives the following exposition respecting the cost of the Water works : —
"It has been noticed that the City Auditor hats for several years been accustomed to regard, in his annual report, the cost of the Water Works cis the amount of the water debt. And this has continually increased, because there has been no surplus receipts from water rents to diminish it. It is respectfully submitted that this is con- founding two quite distinct things.
"The water debt is contracted under provisions of the acts authorizing the city to bring the water into the city, which has some special provisions in relation thereto. By sections 11, 12 and 13 of the water acts, as condensed in the City Ordinances, the city was authorized to issue water scrip to meet the whole cost of the enterprise. In section 14, it is further provided, that ' the said City Council may, whenever and so far as deemed necessary, issue and dispose of notes, scrip, or certificates of debt, to meet all payments of interest which may accrue upon any scrip by them issued : provided, however, that no scrip shall be issued for payment of interest as aforesaid, after the expiration of two jears from the completion of said aqueducts and other works ; but payment of all interest that shall accrue after that time, shall be made from the net income, rents, and receipts for the use of the water, if they shall be sufficient for the purpose ; and if not, then the payment of the deficiency shall be otherwise provided for by the City Council.' That is, ' otherwise ' than by disposition ' of notes, scrip or certificates of debt.' So that it seems as if
134
SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY.
the city was prohibited after two years from paying the accruing interest by loans in any shape whatever.
" In conformity with the provisions of this act limiting the water scrip (which is regarded as synonymous with water debt) to the cost of the Works, and interest thereon for two years after their ' completion,' the AVater Board passed an order March 20, 1851, 'that the construction account of the Water Works be closed on the 30th April (then next ensuing), and the Works be then considered as finished, and all expenditures made after that time be charged to the current expenses of the year.'
" From this action it would appear that the cost of the Works, as it should appear on the 1st of May, 1851, with two years' interest added to the same, would, under the act, constitute the water debt, whether it should be sufficient to cover the cost of the Works or not ; and if there should subsequently occur a deficiency, it should ' be otherwise provided for ' than by loan.
" Kow it appears from the Auditor's account, distributed to the citizens, that the water debt, or cost of the Works at that time. May 1, 1851, was $4,948,363.97 ; add two years' interest at $4.85 (the average rate on the scrip), viz., S239,995.65X2 = $479,991.30, and the water debt is obtain- viz., $5,428,355.27. And this is a maximum sum, not liable to increase under any circumstances contemplated by the act, unless by what will be noticed presently. Now if that sum be, as represented, the water debt, the interest upon it for the last year is $263,275 23, and the expenses of the Water Department, as above stated, are $28,444.60, making a total of the interest and expenses $291,719.83, while the water receipts have been $303,931.73, or $12,211.90 more than interest and expenses.
" It is not pretended that the sums here used are entirely accurate — there is not time or opportunity to make them so — but they are sufficiently accurate to illustrate the principle involved.
" The scope and intent of the act (the Board admit) would j ustify and require the amount of the cost of the Works, as exhibited May 1, 1851, to be augmented by the cost of Jamaica Pond aqueduct, which was subsequently paid for, and by such damages as were subsequently paid, but previously incurred. Then on the other hand, that sum should be diminished by the amount of sales since made, say of the Jamaica Pond works, the reservoir and lands in Marlborough, Boon Pond, and appendages, buildmgs, privileges, land and wood, in neighborhood of the Lake and along the line of aqueduct to Brookline. If these items were properly made up, added and substracted, it is believed thit the cost would be diminished by an amount varying from $25,000 to $50,000.
" Aud further, if the amount spent for new pipe, over Dover Street Bridge, were can led to its proper account.
there would be $12,213.18 -|- $5,752.70 = $17,965.88 more, as the result of this year's receipts, to go as an off-set for so much of the water-debt."

FOUNTAINS.
A number of beautiful Fountains lend their attractions to the general gratification on public and other occasions. But the enormous consumption, or rather waste, of water so prevalent in the city, leads the authorities to restrict the flow of the public Fountains to special occasions.
There are Fountains in the following locations : —
The Common. Chester Square. Front of Dr. Lowell's Church. HajTnarket Square. Exeter Place. Ashland Place. State House Grounds. The Public Garden. Union Park. Blackslone Square. Franklin Square.
The Fountain on the Common contains fourteen jets. The solid jet of three inches in diameter will throw (he water, under favorable circmnstances, to the height of

ninety-eight feet. That of six inches attains to not much over eighty feet. There is an intermediate one of four inches. A fourth, with the whole breadth of twelve inches, reaches but about forty feet. Then there are two hollow jt>ts, one inclined to an angle, and the other vertical. The former of these is contrived to play against the wind. The other, when its plate is screwed on but loosely, tapers as it first rises, and expands afterwards to its original width. The effect of this may not be considerable, but it is curious and pleasin?. The cross, one of the very finest of the pat- terns, divides its stream into four lateral branches, at right angles with each other ; and the willow rejoices in nineteen divisions. The lily is a beautiful figure, composed of three sido jets representing the petals, and an upright centre one representing the pointal of the flower.

DISASTER TO THE COCHITUATE AQUEDUCT!
" About half-past six o'clock yesterday morning, a serious accident happened to the aqueduct conveying the waters of Lake Cochituate to this city, which will certainly limit our supply of fresh water for several days, and will cause great inconvenience to the largest consumers, and be attended with a heavy expense to the city.
" At the point where the aqueduct strikes the Charles river, at the boundary between Needham and Newton, after considerable discussion as to the manner in which the river should be crossed, the following plan was finally adopted : — On the West, or Needham side, an embankment sixty feet high was raised, which was crowned with a gate-house of so id granite. Beneath this embankment, on the border of the river, the water leaves the subterranean duct of masonry which it has hitherto followed, and is carried to the opposite shore by means of two parallel iron syphons, 30 inches in diameter, resting upon an arched bridge. On the eastern bank the duct begins again, and continues to the grand re- servoir at Brookline. •
" It would almost seem as if the people of Boston, meet- ino' with the Cochituate at every turn, ' free as air,' had come to think that it was as inexhaustible as that element, for it is notorious that the waste of the now precious fluid has been enormous. To off-set this waste, the aqueduct has been strained to its utmost capacity, and doubtless the strain proved too great in the neighborhood of this catastrophe.
" It is probable that there had been a leak in the aque- duct for some time, and that the escaping water had been oradually undermining the embankment. Yesterday morn- inc the bank gave way, and, wihtbe heavy gate-house at Its summit, slid into the bed of the river Charles. As the water rushed forth, it undermined the embankment and the masonry of the aqueduct, causing them to continue to fall.
until at last a deep ravine, about sixty feet wide and nearly eighty feet deep, had been formed, which extended back from the river a distance of nearly two hundred feet. The vast amount of water and gravel poured into the river caused it to rise so suddenly as to overflow its banks, and to seriously damage the adjoining farm of Mr. A. C. Curtis. The mills at Newton Lower Falls were also stopped by the over-abundance of water.
" The scene of the disaster yesterday was picturesque in the extreme. It was as if some grand convulsion had oc- curred, overturning the work of man and giving the face of nature a wild, primeval appearance. The scene was visited by thousands of people, among whom were the Presi- dent and other members of the Water Board, the Mayor, President of the Common Council, City Engineer, the Su- perintendents of the two divisions of the Aqueduct, mem- bers of the City Government, &c. Mr. E. F. Knowlton, Superintendent of the Western Division of the Water Works, who resides at Newton Lower Falls, immediately despatched a messenger to the office of the Water Board in this city, and at once proceeded two miles up the line of the works to the nearest gate, which he shut, thus stopping the further flow of water from the Lake. Word was also sent to Mr. A. Stanwood, in this city. Superintendent of the Eastern Division of the Works, and he immediately re- paired (o the scene, where he met James Slade, Esq., City Engineer. A brief consultation was held, and Mr. Stan- wood was despatched to Brookline, where a large gang of men were at work on the new main, whom he forthwith sent to the break, to repair damages.
"Hon. John II. Wilkins, President of the Water Board, gives the opinion that a temporary arrangement can be ef- fected, by which the flow of water can be resumed in three or four days. It will occupy a much longer time to com- plete the permanent repairs. Meantime the heaviest con- sumers, as the sugar refiners, distillers, &c., will have to suspend operations, and It behoves everybody to exercise the strictest economy. The following notice was issued yesterday morning : —
PUBLIC NOTICE.
Owing to a breach in the Aqueduct at Newton Lower Falls, it becomes a matter of the most urgent necessity that every water taker shall use Cochituate water with the ut- most economy. The high service will be exposed to Immi- nent suffering, unless those upon the lower parts of the city use the utmost moderation in their consumption. John H. Wilkins, President of the Cochituate Water Board.
" The supply of water will be limited to the amount now actually in the Brookline reservoir, the greatest capacity of
SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY,
13T
which is 100,000,000 gallons, but is probably not more than three-quarters full. The water in the city reservoirs will be held back for use in case of a great fire or other emer- gency. The capacity of the Beacon Hill reservoir is 2,678,961 gallons; of the South Boston reservoir, 7,000,000 gallons; and of the East Boston reservoir, 5,591,816 gal- lons. The average daily consumption of water during the last year was 12,847,000 gallons."
The view repre- sents the Aqueduct Bridge across the Charles River, the scene of the disas- ter. The cost of the bridge was $19,32.5.
We append the following extracts from the Boston Daily Advertiser of April 1, 1859, presenting statements and conclusions of noteworthy value," respecting this memorable calamity : -
" Water. — The possibility that the supply of water may be cut off from our city in a few days, is just near enough to show the value of a blessing, which has now become so familiar that its importance is scarcely realized, and to enforce a practical lesson of economy, which the Water Board have for years taught in vain. We trust that every water-taker in Boston now feels — as every one ought to feel — that he owes it as a duty to the commu- nity to practice rigid economy in the use of Cochituate water, in accordance with the request of the Water Board and of the ^layor. We know very well that it is not easy to bring home to each individual his share of a responsibility which he shares with many thousands of other persons, but still there is such a responsibility resting upon every person who now draws from the limited supply upon which we must depend until the injury to the aqueduct is repair- ed. We hope that every one will use as much caution and forethought in avoiding and preventing any waste as if he could see the very family or person from whom his
negligence or wastefulness may, a few days hence, be in- strumental in withholding the supply of this necessary of life.
" During the last year, th« consumption of water in this city was about 73 gallons daily for every inhabitant, while the works were built with the expectation, justified by the experience of other cities, that 30 gallons would be an ample supply. For a short time after the introduction of the water, the consumption did not greatly exceed the estimate, but since that time it has rapidly increased, in spite of the constant warnings of the Water Board, and ob- viously without any necessity, until it has reached a point which twelve years ago was regarded as beyond the range of probability.
" It is now stated that the Brookline reservoir, at the time of the accident, contained 120,000,000 gallons ; which, at the recent rate of consumption, at this season of the year, would scarcely last nine days. It is quite likely that the mischief may be repaired within that time ; but, still, it is hardly necessary to dwell upon the imprudence of calcu- lating upon any exact period for the completion of such a work. Accidents may retard it, it may be found more difficult than has been anticipated, and a variety of circum- stances, not now to be foreseen, may delay the renewal of our supply from the lake. By limiting the consumption of water for each person to the amount used when the works were first opened, or to the amount which it was estimated that each person would use when the works were planned, the Brookline reservoir could be easily made to hold out for three weeks at least, and give ample time for repairing the injuries in a thorough and satisfactory manner. Surely it is no great hardship for our citizens to exercise suflScient care to effect this moderate reduction of the daily consump- tion, in order to escape a complete cutting off of the supply.
" We must remark that it is to the want of a proper eco- nomy in the use of water, that the late disaster seems chiefly to be owing. It was intended when the aqueduct was built, that the depth of water flowing in it should not exceed four feet and four inches.
" The consumption of water has been so much greater than was expected, that during the last year the City Engineer in his report says, that ' the least water that has been run through it has been one foot six inches more than was originally designed'; for 143 days it was just full, and for 45 days there was a head, ' varying from two inches to one foot eight inches.' In 1857, there was a head for 187 days ' varying from four inches to two feet eight inches.' It is to this immense pressure, carried far beyond the limit which the aqueduct was intended to bear, and caused by needless and culpable waste, that we may attribute, in good measure, the present difficulty."

" The Citt Fathers Patronize Lake Cochituate — THEIR Pilgrimage and its Incidents. — Mayor Lincoln and a large number of gentlemen of both branches of the City Council, members of the Water Board, City Engineer, and officers of the Fire Department, accompanied by ex-Mayors Josiah Quincy, Jr., and J. V. C. Smith, together with a number of ex-officials of less repute, and many guests which it would be found difficult to classify, improved the beautiful weather of yesterday, for carrying out that well estabUshed annual institution — a visit to Lake Cochituate. A special train took the company to the spot. At the house of Mr. Knowlton, Superintendent of the Works, a collation and rest from a long tramp were enjoyed. The party then made an inspection of the new gate-house, which is in process of construction at the entrance of the viaduct, and which, together with the edge wall for the raising of the water of the lake, will be completed in two months. These improvements, it is said, will increase the capacity of the works for supplying the city, twenty-five per centum. The shores of the lake are freed from brush- wood and litter, and appear to be in neater condition than ever before.
" The work of digging out the bed of Charles River at Newton Lower Falls, which was filled in with gravel by the accident to the water works of last Spring, is still going on.
proving a more serious undertaking than was at first an- ticipated, and probably a month or more will elapse before the work is completed. It is thought, however, the whole expense, damages included, will not exceed $12,000.
" After another brief season of rtfreshing at the house of the superintendent, the party left by special train for Newton Lower Falls, where, J B. Smith having gone before them, a fine dinner was served. While this last repast was in preparation, one member of the party mi"ht have been seen retracing the track of the railroad to secure a lost ' Panama,' which was found quietly airing itself on the sunny slope of an embankment half a mile behind. In the meantime another member of the party might have been seen in pursuit of a frog wherewith to decoy to his hook a tempting looking pickerel, and which astonishing to relate, did reward his skilful angle.
" From Newton the party proceeded to the Brookline reservoir, and observed the admirable operation of the cylindrical strainei-s, by which means small fish and vegeta- ble fungi from the viaduct are not only prevented from going into the pipes, but are brought to the surface, and then easily removed from the water.
"The new main from Brookline to Boston is rapidly con- structing ; 600 feet were laid on Thursday. One quarter of its whole length has been laid, and it is thought the entire work will be completed by the first of November."
PUBLIC SQUARES,
BOSTON COMMON.
The first record relating to the Common is in 1G40, as follows : Agreed from thenceforth, there shall no land be granted for house plots or gardens to any person, out of the open ground or Common field, which is left between the Centry Hill and Mr. Colbourne's except 3 or 4 feet to make up the street from brother Robert Malborn's, to the pound mouth. 1733, Trees planted in the Common, and a row of posts and rails ordered to be set up, and continued through the Common, from the Burjing place to Col. Fitch's fence ; leaving openings at the several streets and lanes. 1734, Voted, that the additional row of trees to be planted in the Common shall be on the west side of those already planted there, from the Burying Ground to Mr. SheafTe's, and at such distance from the other row as the selectmen shall think fit. 1 739, Street fenced out from Common Street to Beacon Street.
From 1734, the mall was used with two rows of trees for the recreation of the citizens until 1775, when many of the trees were cut down, and used by the British troops, together with the fences, for fuel. Upon the evacuation of the town by the British, and after the return of its citizens, a third row of trees was planted, and a fence of substantial posts and rails erected, the expense defrayed by subscrip- tion obtained by the exertion of Oliver Smith, Esq., and the work done under his direction. In 1794, a large field, south of the Common, was purchased by the town, of William Foster, Esq., and the mall was continued to Boyls- ton Street.
About 1800, Charles Street was formed over the marsh land from Pleasant Street to Beacon Street, the expense de- frayed principally by subscription obtained by the exertion of Charles Bulfinch, Esq., then Chairmin of the Selectmen. The malls on Park Street and on Beacon Street were formed and planted in 1815, by the selectmen ; the expense

in part defrayed from the balance remaining on hand from the subscription for the defence of the town.
The mall on Charles Street was formed and planted and the crescent pond improved by direction of Josiah Quincy, Esq., Mayor of the city. Several transverse paths were formed, and their borders planted with trees under direc- tion of T. Lyman, Esq., Mayor.
In 1 83G, the fences had so far gone to decay, as made it necessary to renew them, when it was determined by the city authorities to surround the whole Common with an iron fence; this was effected with great elegance and re- markable dispatch, with massive granite piers to the gates, and a rich iron paling, at the expense of $82,500. $1 7,000 of it was raised by subscription by the exertion of J. P. Bradley, Esq., from gentlemen residing in the vicinity. This work was completed, to the honor of all engaged in it, under the Mayoralty of S. T. Armstrong, E«q. ; and this beautiful spot more than ever decorated and secured for
the use and recreation of our citizens

5867 being one mile and one tenth in circuit, and enclosing 55 acres.
A' tempts to possess the Common have been made at dif- ferent times. In one instance, a citizen petitioned for half an acre for a building lot, but these attempts were all un-
successful. We m.ay be permitted to record an act which came very near making it private property. The proprie- tors of the Rope Walks, in 1 795, had the misfortune to have their property burned. The town generously offered them that portion of the Common which is now the Public Garden, rent free, for rebuilding, which offer was accepted. In 1819, the rope walks were again destroyed by fire, and the owners proposed to cut the land into building lots and sell it To this the citizens strongly objected, and so intense was public feeling upon the subject, that it was left to re- ferees, and as it appeared that the proprietors of the walks had ground for their claim, they were awarded the sum of $50,000 to relinquish it, which the town authorities paid.
A clause was inserted in the City Charter, making the Common public proper.y for ever, and placing it beyond the power of the city to dispose of it.
The Malls are wide, gravelled, and smooth, and are deemed the most delightful promenade grounds in the world. They are beautifully shaded by majestic elms and other trees, to the number of upwards of one thousand, some of which were planted over a hundred years a^o.
The time-honored elm still stands, the most significant and attractive of all, and crowds on all public days pay it a special visit. It has been strengthened by the aid of art, and it is inclosed by a fence to prevent its admirers from plucking a remembrancer from its rough exterior. By its side lies the frog-pond, but not the one of yore. Cochituate Lake now pours her glistening stream upon its rocky bed, and its waters leap and seem to laugh for joy that they have come to visit the far-famed garden of liberty. The wants of visitors have been anticipated, and, to give all the privi-

In early times the name of " Crescent Pond " was given to this sheet of water, and it has been known as " Quincy Lake," but none have been in so common use as that of " Frog Pond," which now claims precedence only by custom.
The Great Elm, for which the public authorities, from one age to another, have manifested a becoming regard, was probably planted by an ancestor of Governor Hanco.k's family, a Deacon Henchman. Many believe it is a native of the spot where it has grown to its present dimensions. Its age can never be satisfactorily ascertained, as the trunk was hollow many years, so that boys actually went in and out at pleasure, according to tradition, within fifty or sixty years. The concentric circles marking its growth are, therefore, obliterated. In height, the Great Elm is not far from 65 feet; extent of its branches, laterally, about 90 feet ; and its girth, a little above the ground, nearly 22 feet.
It is difficult, also, to determine, with certainty, the age of the large trees on the Tremont side of the Common. Opposite the Granary Cemetery, the row of Enghsh Elms are said, on the authority of the late Major Bumstead, to have been planted in the year 1 762, by Mr. Adino Pad- dock and Mr. John Ballard. Several ofthem measure nine feet in circumference, four feet from the ground.
The Jinko-Tree, a native of the East Indies, to be seen on the northerly side of the Common, nearly opposite Belk- nap Street, is said to have been introduced into Boston by Captain Isaiah Doane, from China, not far from fifty years ago. It was planted in his garden, which subsequently be- came the estate of the late Gardner Greene, Esq. The site of that garden is now Pemberton Square. 'NVTien it was levelled, in 1834, to make the present improvements, the Jinko-Tree was purchased by the city and transplanted on the Common. For several years it seemed to languish so much that its life was quite despaired of; but it has be- come vigorous, and promises to be both a favorite and a curiosity.
THE PUBLIC GARDEN.
Opposite the lower portion of the Common, adjoining Charles Street, is the Public Garden. Beyond the Gar- den, toward. the south-west, extends the Back Bay property, which is described in a subsequent page. In consequence of the vexed questions respecting the final disposition of the vast and complicated interests involved in the Back Bay propert)-, but little progress has been made in the adorn- ment of the Public Garden. These questions are all finally adjusted, and by an act of the Legislature, accepted by a vote of the citizens of Boston, the prescribed territory is to
remain open to the public use forever, being liable only to the occupancy of public edifices.
To Mayor Rice is due, in an eminent degree, the credit of measures, which at last resulted in removing the maze of difficulties, that for so long a time continued these open wastes. His enterprising efforts have received their reward in a comprehensive success ; and although the city, in some of the minor details of final adjustment, may not have realized its full and reasonable desires, the vigilant devotion of Mayor Lincoln and his associates in the City Councils, to the interests at stake, is placed clearly in the record.
We may now hope to see a rapid progress in the matur- ing of those arrangements, which shall give to the public eye a feast of beauty, equally grateful and elevating to the taste.
Blackstone Square, on the west side of Washington Street, beyond No. 773, containing 105,000 feetof land, and now laid out with young trees, will soon be an ornament to this portion of the city. The fence is constructed of iron, and has a length of about 1,300 feet; the cost of which was $5,000. Of this sum $2,000 were contributed by the pro- perty holders or residents around the Square.
Franklin Square is opposite Blackstone Square, and contains the sime quantity of ground, and is improved in the same style as the former. A Cochituate fountain is provided in the centre of each square, at a cost of $750 each, exclusive of the pipe and va=e.
Chester Square, near Northampton and Tremont Streets, contains 59,GG4 feet of land, with an iron railing 987 feet in length. The entire cost of this substantial fence

was $4,000, and that of the fountain about $1,000. North- ampton Street enters Washington Street at No. 798.
Union Park, formerly known as Weston Street, be- tween Suffolk and Tremont Streets. It contains about 16,000 feet of land, liberally ornamented with trees, walks, and a Cochltuate fountain.
Worcester Square is another public improvement, located between Washington Street and Harrison Avenue.
The Square in front of Dr. Lowell's Church, comer
of Cambridge and Lynde Streets, has been recently re- arranged. It is now surrounded by a heavy iron fence, 369^ feet long, which cost about $5,000.
LouiSBURG Square opens from Pinckney Street to Mount Vernon Streets.
Other tasteful grounds occasionally meet the view in various parts of the city. The City Hall in School Street, Ashland Place, Exeter Place, etc., may be stated. May their pleasing influences grow and continue.
STATUES OF DISTINGUISHED MEN.
Boston and its suburbs will, at the present rate of increase, soon become notable for its statues of distinguished men. The following is a list of those which have already been erected : —
Washington (by Chantrey), in marble, at the State House.
Webster (by Powers), in bronze. State House Grounds.
Franklin (by Greenough), in bronze. School Street.
Beethoven (by Crawford), in bronze. Music Hall.

Measures are also in progress for the erection of an equestrian Statue of Washington.
MEMORABLE LOCALITIES AND INTERESTING NOTES.
THE BIRTHPLACE OF FRANKLIN.
The following description of the house in which Franklin was born is taken from the " Franklin Statue Memorial," and is from the pen of Dr. Nathaniel B. Shurtleff".
" After leaving Washington Street, and proceeding a short distance into Milk Street, on the right hand, or southerly, side, will be noticed a lofty warehouse, built of granite in a durable form and manner, and bearing, in raised letters beneath its cornice, ' Birthplace of Franklin.' Tbis building occupies the site of the old wooden house which tradition, supported by good testimony, asserts to be that in which Boston's most distinguished son was born, on the sixth of January, 1705-6, according to the old style of reckoning time, as entered in the town book of the records of births.
" The main house resembled in form many of the tene- ments of the olden time which have been preserved till now. Its front upon the street was rudely clapboarded, and the sides and rear were protected from the inclemencies of a New England climate by large rough shingles. On the street it measured about twenty feet ; and on the sides, (the westerly of which was bounded by the passageway and contained the doorway, approached by two steps,) the ex- treme length of the buildinij, including a wooden leanto used as a kitchen, was about thirty feet. In height the house was three stories, the upper being an attic, which presented a pointed gable towards the street. In front, the second story and attic projected somewhat into the street over the principal story on the ground floor.
" On thelower floor of the main house there was one room only. This, which probably served the Franklins as a parlor

and sitting-room, and also for the family eating-room, was about twenty feet square, and had two windows upon the street ; and it had, also, one upon the passage-way, so near the corner as to give the inmates a good view of Washing- ton Street, from which an aged lady, now living, remembers well to have seen Washington pass through that street in his last visit to the town. Besides these windows there had been others in the days of its early proprietors which opened upon the easterly side of the house, the seats of which were retained until the destruction of the building. In the centre of (he southerly side of the room was one of those noted large fireplaces, situated in a most capacious chimney, which are so well remembered as among the comforts of old houses; on the left of this was a spacious closet, and on the right the door, communicating with a small entrj- in which were the stairs to the rooms above and to the cellar, the latter of which was accessible to the street through one of the old-fashioned cellar doors, situated partly in the side walk.
" On the ground floor, connecting with the sitting-room through the entry, was situated the kitchen, in a tenfoot addition to the rear part of the main building. The only windows from this part of the house looked back upon a vacant lot of land in the extreme rear of the lot which served as a yard and garden plat.
" The second story originally contained but one chamber, and in this the windows, door, fireplace and closet, were similar in number and position to those in the parlor be- neath it. Some of the later tenants divided this room by a wooden partition, forming a small bedroom of the westerly portion, which received light only through the sidewindow facing Washington Street.
" The attic was also, originally, one unplastered room, and had a window in front on the street, and two conmaon attic windows, one on each side of the roof, near the back part of it. This room was, also, at an unknown time, divided by a partition into two apartments, one in front and the other in the rear.
" Such was, undoubtedly, the condition and appearance of the house at the time when the parents of Franklin dwelt within its walls, with their large family of children, several of whom received their first light beneath its roof; and such it coniinued about one hundred years after the Franklin's left it for a house of their own, which stood at the corner of Union and Hanover Streets, and which was known by the name of the ' Blue Ball ' until it was taken down on the 10th of November, 1858, to widen Union Street.
" But this old and much-honored building, though it had stood from the i-olonial period of Massachusetts history, through the provincial, and had withstood the efiects of the revolution, nevertheless was destroyed at last, on Saturday,
the twenty-ninth of December, 1810, by fire communicated to it from the livery stable then situated at the corner of Hawley Street, and kept by Stephen L. Soper. At the time of the fire the house was owned and occupied by Mr. John S. Lillie, whose son, Mr. Thomas J. Lillie, was bom in it, and remembers well every particular about the house, its interesting traditions, and final destruction. It was at this time that the Old South Meetinghouse took fire, and was saved by the exertions of our aged fellow citizen, Isaac Harris, Esq., for which he received a silver testimonial "
THE LIBERTY TREE.
An Elm Tree, at the commencement of the American Revolution, stood in front of a grocery shop, which now makes the comer of Essex and Washington Streets, of great interest and notoriety. It was a wide spreading, beautiful object ; and, from an early period in the history of Boston, was the centre of South-End business. Several large elms grew near by, and the place was called the neighborhood of the Elms. August 14, 1765, this particular tree was selected for exposing the efiigles of those men who had favored the passage of the odious stamp-act. On the 11th of September, a copperplate, 3 feet 6 inches by 2 feet 6 inches, was fixed to the trunk, bearing this inscription, in golden letters — The Tree of Liberty. Ever after, nearly all the great political meetings of the sons of liberty, were held in the square, under its waving boughs. The British made it an object of ridicule. They tarred and feathered one Ditson, whom the soldiers obliged to March in front of this tree.
During the siege of Boston, about the last of August, 1775, one Job Williams was the leader of a party which cut it down. It was planted in 1646, and stood 119 years, and finally, says the Pemberton manuscript, " bore the first fruits of liberty in America."
Hitherto the altercations between the people and those in authority, had been limited to angry words and language of defiance ; but now the union for liberty was to be cemented by blood. The first victim was a boy of eleven years of age, named Christopher Snyder. He was killed by one Ebenezer Richardson, known as the informer, who had created a riot by attempting to pull down a pole on the top of which the faces of several importers were carved. He was killed on the 23d of February, and buried on the 26th. All the friends of liberty were invited to attend the funeral of this little hero and first martyr to the noble cause ! The corpse was set down under the Tree of Liberty. The coffin bore several inscriptions. On the foot, " Latat anguis inherba"; on each side, " Hseret lateri lethalis arundo"; and on the head, "Innocentia nu^quam tuta." Four or five hundred school-boys preceded the body ; six of the child's playfellows bore the pall. After the relatives, followed a

train of thirteen hundred inhabitants on foot, and the pro- cession was closed by thirty chariots and chaises. A week after this event, the Boston Massacre occurred.
THE BOSTON MASSACRE.
This memorable event occurred in King Street, now State Street, in front of the present Merchants' Bank Building.
It originated in an attempt of three or four young men to force a passage by a sentinel, in which one of them re- ceived a slight wound. This encounter soon attracted a crowd, a part of which threatened an attack upon the senti- nel at the Custom-IIouse. On the alarm being given, a sergeant and six men were sent to his support ; and the commander of the guard, Captain Thomas Preston, upon being informed of this, followed to prevent mischief By this time the bells were rung, and people collected from all quarters. The soldiers were soon surrounded by men armed with clubs, and pressing close upon them, while those at a distance threw sticks of wood, snowballs, and pieces of ice at them. The crowd defied them to fire. Finally, thinking the order was given, they fired in succession from right to left. Three citizens were killed instantly, two received mortal wounds, and several were more or less injured. Upon this, the number increased to four or five thousand, and most of the troops were called out, or got under arms- Several oflicers were knocked down by the mob, and one very much injured. It was with difficulty that the Lieu- enant-Governor, at the head of the 29th Regiment, per- suaded the people to retire. A body of a hundred men, composed of some of the most distinguished inhabitant-', remained and organized themselves into a Citizen's Guard. Captain Preston surrendered himself, and was committed to prison that night. The eight soldiers were committed the next day. At eleven o'clock in the morning of the next day, a town-meeting was held, and a committee was appointed to wait on the Lieutenant-Governor and Colonel Dalr)-mple, to express to them the opinion of the town, that it was impossible for the soldiers and inhabitants to live in safetj' together, and to urge the immediate removal of the former. The answer to this application not being satis- factory, the committee were sent back to the Lieutenant- Governor, armed with a more urgent remonstrance. After some cavils, the Lieutenant-Governor oflTered to remove one of the regiments, when Samuel Adams promptly re- plied : " If the Lieutenant-Governor, or Colonel Dalrymple, or both together, have authority to remove one regiment, they have authority to remove two ; and nothing short of a total evacuation of the town by all the regular troops, will satisfy the public mind and preserve the peace of the pro- vince." Hutchinson, by the advice of the Council, complied
with this demand, and both regiments were removed to the Castle in less than fourteen days. The funeral so'cmnities which followed the massacre brought together a great con- course of people. The four bodies were deposited in one grave.
The anniversary of the Boston massacre was commemo- rated the following year, and the first of the "Boston Orations " was delivered by Master James Lovell.
In November, 1772, the following proceedings took place at a town-meeting : —
" It was then moved by Mr. Samuel Adams, that a Com- mittee of Correspondence be appointed, to consist of twenty- one persons, — to state the Right of these Colonists, and of this Province in particular, as men, as Christians, and as subjects : to communicate and publish the same to the several towns in this province and to the world, as the sense of this town, with the infringements and violations thereof) that have been, or from time to time may be, made. Also requesting of each town a free communication of their sentiments on this subject ; and the question being accord- ingly put, passed in the affirmative, ncm. con.
" Also voted, that James Otis, S. Adams, Joseph Warren, Dr. B. Church, Wm. Dennie, William Grecnleaf, Joseph Greenleaf, Thomas Young, Wm. Powell, Nath. Appleton, Oliver AVendell, John Sweetser, Josiah Quincy, Jr., John Bradford, Richard Boynton, AVilliam Mackay, Nath. Bar- ber, Caleb Daxis, Alex. Hill, Wm. Molineux, and Robert Pierpont, be, and hereby are, appointed a committee for the purpose aforesaid, and that they be desire<l to report to the town as soon as may be."
THE TEA-PARTY AND ITS RESULTS.
The English East India Company having obtained a license to export a quantity of tea to America, free from the payment of any customs or duties whatsoever, despatch- ed the ship Dartmouth, which arrived in Boston on the 28th of November, 1773, with one hundred and twelve chests of tea.
Information of the intention of the company had been received long before the arrival of this ship, and caucuses were held in various parts of the town, to induce the con- signees to make a public resignation of their commissions. The day after the arrival of the Dartmouth, the following notice was circulated in Boston and the neighboring towns : —
" Friends, Brethren, Countrymen !
" That worst of plagues, the detested TEA, shipped for
this port by the East India Company, is now arrived in
this harbor. The hour of destruction, or manly opposition
to the machinations of Tyranny, stares you in the face.

Every friend to his country, to himself, and to posterity, is now called upon to meet at Faneuil Hall, at nine o'clock, this day (at which time the bells will ring), to make a united and successful resistance to this last, worst, and most destructive measure of administration. "Boston, Nov. 29, 1773.
The number of people brought together by this notice was immense, and the meetings were continued by adjourn- ment during this and the following day. A watch was appointed to prevent the landing of the tea, and it was " Voted, that it is the determination of this body to carry their votes and resolutions into execution at the risk of their lives and properly,"
Another ship arrived on the 1st of December, and a brig about the same time. No preparation having been made by the owners and consignees for the departure of the vessels, another and fuller meeting was held on Thurs- day, the IGth of December, which remained in sessiou, with a short recess, until five o'clock in the afternoon. A refusal havinrr been received at that time from the Governor of a permit for the vessels to pass the Castle, the meeting broke up with most admired disorder, and the multitude rushed to Griffin's wharf. Thirty men, disguised as Indians, went on board the ships with the tea. In less than two hours, two hundred and forty chests and one hundred half chests were staved and emptied into the dock. The affair was conducted without tumult, and no injury was done to the vessels, or the remaining cargo. No opposition was made to this adventure by the ships of war or the troops. The names of the adventurers have never been made known. This act led to the determination to subdue America by force of arms. On the 31st of March, 1774, the king gave his assent to the Boston Port Bill. On the 31st of May, the town passed the following vote : —
" Voted, That it is the opinion of this town that if the other colonies come into a joint resolution to stop all importations from Great Britain and exportations to Great Britain the same will prove the salvation of North America and her liberties. Ou the other hand, if they continue their ex- ports and imports, there is high reason to fear that fraud, power, and the most odious oppression will rise triumphant over ri^ht, justice, social happiness, and freedom. And ordered, That this vote be transmitted by the Moderator to all our sister colonies in the name and behalf of this town."
General Gage arrived the same day, and on the 1st of June the Custom-House was closed. The solemnity of these sad times was increased by the occurrence of a fire, on the lOlh of Aun-ust, in which several persons perished. The new charter made it unlawful to hold any town-meetings, but the people of the country assembled at Dcdham, and afterwards at Milton.
At the close of the year 177-4, Governor Gage had under his command at Boston eleven regiments, besides four companies of artillery. In the year 1775, an association was formed in Boston, of upwards of thirty persons, chiefly mechanics, for the purpose of watching the movements of the British, the members of which watched the soldiers by patrolling the streets all night. It was this association that gave notice of the expedition to destroy the stores at Con- cord, preparations for which had been made in profound secrecy.
Towards the end of May, considerable reinforcements arrived at Boston from England, accompanied by Generals Howe, Clinton, and Burgoyne. On the 1 7th of June, the battle of Bunker Hill was fought. After which, Boston was efiectually guarded and brought into a state of siege- No provisions were allowed to enter ; the troops and inhab- itants were reduced to great necessities, and the breaking out of the small-pox added to the general wretched- ness.
On the 2d of July, General Washington took command of the American Army. Such was the scarcity of fuel during the following winter, that the Old North Meeting-house and above one hundred other large wooden buildings were taken down and distributed for firewood. The Old South Church was transformed into a riding school ; Holhs Street, Brattle Street, the West and the First Baptist Meeting house?, were occupied as hospitals or barracks for the troops.
On the 18th of March, 1776, the British troops embarked and abandoned the town. The inhabitants of Boston speedily returned to their homes, and on the 29th of March, a regular meeting was held for the choice of town olBcers.
At the meeting for the choice of Representatives, in the ensuing May, it was unanimously resolved, to advise their Representatives " that, if the honorable Continental Con- gress should, for the safetj' of the colonies, declare them independent of the kingdom of Great Britain, they, the inhabitants, would solemnly engage with their lives and fortunes to support them in the measure."
The Declaration of Independence was made public at Boston on the 18hof July, with great parade and exultation. Although Boston contiibuted its full proportion of men and means to support the cause of the Revolution, it ceased from this time to be the seat of war. It remained firm in its determination to make no terms with Great Britain, unaccompanied with an acknowledgment of independence. But the intelligence of peace, which was received on the 23d of April, 1783, called forth the most lively demonstra- tions of joy and satisfaction. The adoption of the Federal Constitution was equally an occeision of rejoicing, and was celebrated by a numerous procession, composed of all classes and trades, with appropriate badges.

MOUNT WASHINGTON,
SOUTH BOSTON.
Here are still to be seen the famous entrenchments thrown up by the American army, -which compelled the evacuation of Boston by the British troops. They were then termed the " Dorchester Heights."
COPP'S HILL.
Copp's Hill, not far from the Fitchburg Depot, was formerly called Snow Hill. It came into the possession of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company ; and when, in 1775, they were forbidden by General Gage to parade on the Common, they went to this, their own ground, and drilled in defiance of his threats. The fort, or battery, that was built there by the British, just before the battle of Bunker Hill, stood near its south-east brow, adjoining the burying ground.
Here the British cannonaded the town of Charlestown in 1775, during the memorable battle of Bunker Hill, when the village was principally destroyed by conflagration. They left the fort standing, which remained a favorite re- sort for the recreation of school boys till 1807.
The remains of many eminent men repose in this little cemetery. Close by the entrance is the vault of the Mather family, covered by a plain oblong structure of brick, three feet high and about six feet long, upon which is laid a heavy brown stone slab, with a tablet of slate, bearing the follow- ing inscription : —
The Kevcrend Doctors Increase, Cotton, and Samuel Mather were interred in this vault.
Increase died August 27, 1723, X. 84. Cotton " Feb. 13, 1827, " 65. Samuel " Jan. 27, 1785, " 79.
The whole is surrounded by a neat iron railing.
BUNKER HILL.
BtTNKEB Hill Monument rises, lofty and grand, from the centre of the grounds included within the breastworks of the old redoubt on Breed's Hill. Its sides are precisely parallel with those of the redoubt. It is built of Quincy granite, and is two hundred and twenty-one feet in height. The foundation is composed of si.x courses of stone, and extends twelve feet below the surface of the ground and base of the shaft. The four sides of the foundation extend about fifty feet horizontally. There are in the whole pile ninety courses of stone, six of them below the surface of the ground, and eighty-four above. The foundation is laid in lime mortar ; the other parts of the structure in lime mor- tar mixed with cinders, iron filings, and Springfield hydrau-
lic cement. The base of the obelisk is thirty feet square ; at the spring of the apex, fifteen feet. Inside of the shaft is a round, hollow cone, the outside diameter of which at the bottom is ten feet, and at the top six feet. Around this inner shaft winds a spiral flight of stone steps, two hun- dred and ninety-five in number. In both the cone and shail are numerous little apertures for the purposes of ven- tilation and light. The observatory or chamber at the top of the monument is seventeen feet in height and eleven feet in diameter. It has four windows, one on each side, which are provided with iron shutters. The cap piece of the apex is a single stone, three feet six inches in thickness, and four feet square at its base. It weighs two and a half tons.
The monument was dedicated on the 17th of June, 1843. The President of the United States (Mr. Tyler) and his whole cabinet were present, and Daniel Webster was the orator.
Within the colossal obelisk is a beautifiil model of Dr. Warren's Monument, which was removed to give place to the present one ; and a simple marble slab now only marks the spot where a patriot fell, as Everett has beauti- fully expressed it, " with a numerous band of kindred spirits — the gray-haired veteran, the stripling in the flower of youth — who had stood side by side on that dreadful day, and fell together, like the beauty of Israel in their high places." He was buried where he fell, but his ashes now repose in " Forest Hill Cemetery."
In the top of the monument are two cannon, named respectively " Hancock " and " Adams," which formerly belonged to the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Com- pany. The " Adams " was burst by them in firing a salute. The following is the inscription upon the two guns : —
SACRED TO HBEKTY
This is one of four cannons which constituted the whole train of field artillery possessed by the British colonies of North Ameri- ca at the commencement of the war, on the 19th of April, 1775. This cannon and its fellow, belonging to a number of citizens of Boston, were used in many engagements during the war. The other two, the property of the government of Massachusetts, were taken by the enemy
Though this monument was built to commemorate sn important event and a bloody battle, it is also a most lofly observatory. The view from the top, for extent, variety, and beauty, is certainly one of the finest in the world, and worth a thousand miles of travel to see. Boston, its har- bor, and the beautiful country around, mottled with villages, are spread out like a vast painting, and on every side the eye may rest upon localities of great historical interest — Cambridge, Roxbury, Chelsea, Quincy, Medford, Marble- head, Dorchester, and other places. In the far distance, on the north-west, rise the higher peaks of the White Moun-

tains of New Hampshire ; and on the north-east the penin- sula of Nahant and the more remote Cape Ann may be seen. Wonders which present science and enterprise are developing and forming are there exhibited in profusion. At one glance from this lofty observatory may be seen seve- ral railroads and many other avenues connecting the city with the country ; and ships from almost every region of the globe dot the waters of the harbor.
ORIGINAL NAME AND APPEARANCE OF BOSTON.
Its Indian name was Shamut, supposed by some to mean, " living fountain." There was one celebrated spring, that issued from the ground in what is now Louisburg Square, which was so good and copious, that Mr. Blackstone, who lived alone in Boston, prevailed upon Governor AVinthrop's friend, Mr. Johnson, to move from Charlestown over to Shamut, and others soon followed. Wood, the voyager, says, 1633, " To the northwest is a high mountain, with three little hills on the top of it, wherefore it is called Tri-Mountain." Tremont, the name of a street, &c., is a corruption of tri- mountain. " From the top of this hill," continues the au- thor, " a man may overlook all the islands which lie within the bay, and descry such ships as are on the sea-coast." The highest was afterwards denominated Beacon Hill, which was carted away to make Charles Street principally. Beacon Street had its name from being a path near the hill.
REV. WM. BLACKSTONE'S CLAIM TO BOSTON.
Mr. Blickstone, by possession, had an unquestioned pro- prietorship to the whole peninsula of Boston. It is not known what kind of bargain he made with Johnson, when he invited him over to Shamut to reside. In April, 1633, it seems the court recognized his ownership, a major part of which lie might in some manner have disposed of, as it was ordered that "fifty acres of ground, to be set out for him, near to his house in Boston, to belong to him for ever." That survey embraced Leverett Street, up towards Cam- bridge Street, &c., says tradition. However, the next year, 1633, every householder agreed to pay six shillings apiece, to buy him out, all but six acres, where his house stood. With the money he purchased some cows, and moved near where Providence now is, on the Blackstone River, named for him.
THEN AND NOW.
Within the recollection of a gentleman who is scarcely seventy years of age, any and all the land in Beacon Street, from the State House to Charles Street, could have been readily purchased at seventy -five cents a foot, and possibly for much less. " However," he remarked, when speaking
of the fact — and it could not have been far from fifty years since that was the asking price — "I exclaimed, ' What are we coming to at this rate ! What I four and sixpence a foot for land I ' " Still later by many years, the house in Park Street owned by T. W. Ward, Esq.,-was for sale, and the same gentleman among others went to examine it. The price was twelve thousand dollars. " AVhat ! " said the surprised citizens, " twelve thousand dollars for a house ! the age of luxury and extravagance is surely upon us." That same astonished gentleman, in the dignity of literary leisure, resides in a tenement valued at fifty thousand dol- lars, which might once have been purchased, it is presumed, for a trifling sum.
The father of the late Benjamin Ingersoll, Esq., one of those faithful carpenters of ancient times, who had an un- sullied reputation as a mechanic, was applied to by a man to fence in a lot which he owned on the west side of the State House, where there was a luxuriant growth of whortle- berry bushes. He did not consider the lot worth any thing, as there were only about two acres, but he thought he should like to know his boundaries.
Mr. Ingersoll erected a firm, substantial fence, accordingly, and carried in his bill. The owner was thunderstruck at the amount, and assured him that the fence should never have been made, had he supposed it possible to cost so much. Not a whit would the stanch old carpenter abate of the price. He had executed the job faithfully, and there- fore demanded the money. After vainly endeavorimr to reduce the sum, he offered the land to pay for the fence, which Mr. Ingersoll refused with indignation, fully agreeinn- with the owner that it was not worth a farthing. That same property, with the edifices upon it, is now actually worth near a million of dollars.
A RELIC OF NEARLY TWO CENTURIES.
In 1679, the first fire-engine was procured, and the first fire company organized, the members of which were then, as now, exempted from training. Another terrible fire broke

out at midnight, on the 8th of August of this year, and converted the town into a scene of desolation. Eighty and more dwelling-houses, above seventy warehouses, and seve- ral vessels with their cargoes, were consumed. The loss was estimated at £200,000, and it was supposed to be the work of incendiaries. After this calamity, a law was made to prevent the erection of wooden buildings.
The old house now standing at the comer of Korth Street and Market Square, a picture of which we give above, is one -of the few specimens which remain to us, of the archi- tecture of that time. It was built in 1680, soon after this fire.
The peaks of the roof remain precisely as they were first erected, the frame and external appearance never having been altered. The timber used in the building was prinuipally oak, and, where it has been kept dry, is per- fectly sound and intensely hard. The outside is covered with plastering, or what is commonly called rough-cast. But instead of pebbles, which are generally used at the present day to make a hard surface on the mortar, broken glass was used. This glass appears like that of common junk bottles, broken into pieces of about half an inch diameter, the sharp corners of which penetrate the cement in such a manner, that this great lapse of years has had no perceptible effect upon them. The figures IG80 were impressed into the rough-cast to show the year of its erec- tion, and are now perfectly legible. This surface was also variegated with ornamental squares, diamonds, and flowers- de-luce. The building is only two stories high, and is about thirty-two feet long and seventeen wide ; yet tradition informs us that it was once the residence of two respectable families, and the front part was at the same time occupied for two shops or stores.
PLYMOUTH, MASS.
Plymouth, the terminus of the Old Colony road, is thirty- seven miles from Boston, and is celebrated as being the landing place, of the " Pilgrims," who disembarked here on the 21st of December, 1620. It is the oldest town in New England. Pilgrim Hall, the building most worlhy of notice, contains a valuable painiing representing the landing of the Pilgrims from the Mayflower. It is thirteen by sixteen feet, and is valued at three thousand dollars. The cabinet of the Pilgrim Society contains many valuable antiquities. From Burying Hill, in the rear of the town, which is ele- vated one hundred and sixty feet above the level of the sea, is a fine view of the village, tlie harbor, and the shipping beyond, with the coast for some miles in extent. " Plymouth Bock," a deeply interesting spot to New Englandcrs, is near the termination of Leyden Street. The town contains about two hundred ponds ; the largest, called Billington Sea, is about six miles m circumference.
FiEEFATIHIElS,
We can do the reader no greater service than by com- mending to his notice " The Illustrated Pilgrim Almanac," issued annually in aid of the Monument Fund, commencing with the year 1860. It is finely illustrated, and sold at all customary places for 25 cents
The Proprietors propose to make the work a permanent annual contribution to the History, Chronology, Social Customs, Lives, and Principles of the early setilers of our country, and of those illustrious successors whose efforts in the cause of freedom and self-government have made the United States the home of liberty, and the refuge for the oppressed of every nation and of every creed.
The issue for the year 1861 will be filled with original matter relating to our national history, and illustrated and printed in the best possible style.

Independence, and other specialities of national interest and importance, carefully collected from the original documents and the best authority, will make the Pilgrim Almanac a valuable Tolume for reference and preservation.
We copy from the Pilgrim Almanac for 18G0 : " The design for the National Monument to the Forefath- ers, to be erected at Plymouth, consists of an octagon pedestal, on which stands a statue of Faith. From the four smaller faces of the pedestal project buttresses, upon which are seated figures emblematic of Morality, Education, Law, and Liberty. Below them, in panels, are alto-reliefs of ' The Departure from Delfthaven,' ' The Signing of the Social Compact in the Cabin of the May-Flower,' ' The Landing at Pl}Tnouth,' and ' The First Treaty with the Indians.' Upon the four large faces of the main pedestal are large panels, to contain records of the principal events in the history of the Pilgrims, with the names of those who came over in the May-Flower, and below are smaller panels for records connected with the society and the building of the monument.
" A chamber within the pedestal, 2G feet in diameter, and well lin-hted, is to be a depository for all documents, &c., relatin" to the pilgrims and the society, including an accu- rate record of the receipts and expenditures for the monu- ment, and a list of the names of subscribers of $1 and over, arrann-ed by states, counties, and towns, and alphabetically, so as to be easily referred to. In this chamber will be a stairway leading to the platform upon which stands the fioTire of Faith, from which may be seen all the places of interest connected with the history of the forefathers. The whole monument will bo about 150 feet high, and 80 feet at the base. The Statue of Faith rests her foot upon the Forefathers' Rock ; in her left hand she holds an open Bible, with the right uplifted she points to heaven. Looking downward, as to those she is addressing, she seems to call them to trust in a higher power. The sittinc firrurcs are emblematic of the principles upon which the Pil<Tims proposed to found their Conamonwealth. The first of these is Morality. She holds the Decalogue in her left, and the Scroll of Revelation in her right hand. Her look is upward, towards the impersonation of the Spirit of Relimon above. In a niche, on one side of her throne, is a Prophet, and in the other one of the Evangelists. The second of these figures is Law. On one side of his seat is Justice ; on the other, Mercy. The third is Education. In the niche on one side of her seat is Wisdom, ripe with years; on the other, Youth, led by E.xperience. The fourth figure is Freedom. On one side, Peace rests under his protection ; on the other. Tyranny is overthrown by his prowess.
'■ The Statue of Faith will be 70 feet high, and the sitting
figures 38 feet high, — thus making it in magnitude the greatest work of the kind in the world ; while as a work of art it wiU afford pleasure to every American citizen.
" The Pilgrim Society decided, in 1850, to erect a monu- ment ; after which and previous to the final acceptance of this design, the trustees had taken measures to procure a sub- scription, — and something more than twenty thousand dollars were subscribed ; a considerable portion of which has been collected, and appropriated to the purchase of the estates in the immediate vicinity of the Rock, and upon Cole's Hill, — which it is proposed to clear up, grade, and finish in an appropriate manner. And over the Rock itself, to mark the spot of landing, and stand as a permanent record and guard, is to be placed a canopy of granite, the base course of which is now ready to be laid.
" Other sums, to the amount in the aggregate of about twelve thousand dollars, have been subscribed to the monu- ment by individuals, since the design was accepted, and have been appropriated to the necessary expenses of pre- paring the work and advancing it to its present state. The foundation alone, which is now laid, has consumed somo fifteen hundred tons of granite, and it will require between eleven and twelve thousand tons more to complete the work.
" Every person contributing five dollars to the Monument Fund becomes, by a special vote, a member of the Pilgrim Society, which now numbers about three thousand members, resident in every portion of the Union. The officers for the year 1859 are —
President — Richard Warren, of New York.
Vice President — James T. Hay ward, of Boston.
Treasurer — I. N. Stoddard.
Secretary — Elliott Ru--sell.
Librarian — Lemuel D. Holmes.
Trustees — I. L. Hedge ; Abraham Jackson ; A. L. Rus- sell ; Winslow Warren ; Timothy Gordon ; S. H. Doten ; Wm. S. Russell ; E. C. Sherman ; C. G. Davis ; Thomas Loring ; C. O. Churchill ; G. G. Dyer ; William T. Drew ; William Thomas, of Boston ; N. B. ShurtlefT, do. ; Samuel Nicholson, do. ; J. H. Clifford, of New Bedford ; George S. Boutwell, of Boston ; Icbabod Washburn, of Worcester ; W. Savery, of Carver."
The corner-stone of the Monument to the Forefathers, and the canopy over Plymouth Rock, were laid with imposing ceremonies on the 2d of August, 1859.
A few remarks upon the nature, extent, and cost of the work, will complete all that is necessary to be said in the present place. The Pilgrim Society, in determining to erect a monument to the Forefathers, intended to make a struc-

ture which should bear upon its face the avowed intention of its foundera, and transmit to future generations not merely the facts that the Pilgrims landed upon the Rock of Plymouth, and there commenced the founding of this na- tion, — which might well be left to the records of history, — but the regard in which their memory and suiferings were held by their descendants and heirs of the nineteenth cen- tury, who look back to them from an eminence of national prosperity, which shows a vast empire extending across a continent from ocean to ocean, filled with great cities, and decked, from border to border and from shore to shore, with splendid dwellings, magnificent churches, colleges, schools, and asylums for the unfortunate ; noisy with ceaseless industry, rich with the sources of inexhaustible wealth, and presenting to the imagination, — even to the inevitable conclusion of thought, — a future, to which the wealth and prosperity and power and resources of the present are as trivial as the possessions of that strong- souled band of adventurous emigrants compared with our own.
It was naturally concluded that the memorial of such a nation to its founders should bear some proportion to its means, and to the grandeur of the event which was to be commemorated. It was thought that the expenditure of a sum representing one cent for each inhabitant might not be regarded as an extent of National Self-Sacrifice, — if that be the term, — too enormous to be borne, nor the amount itself altogether too magnificent to be expended ; and, in view of the fact that the monument is to stand for centuries, ten years (the term of one-fourth of the exist- ence of one generation) was not accounted too long a period to be occupied with the work. It should be borne in mind, that, travel with what success we may the career of national glory and progress, the landing upon these
shores of that hundred of self-exiled lovers of freedom will still be the starting-point of our history, — and that, grand as may be the events with which it is crowded, nothing will overshadow in pure, grand solemnity of thought and action, their determination to leave for ever the scenes of civilized life, to battle, perhaps, with famine and disease, — certainly with unused-to labor, to settle in a savage wilderness, — and all to plant the seeds of a pure faith and of universal reli- gious, social, and civil freedom. History will look in vain for a greater event to chronicle, — art will never again for us have the opportunity or the occasion to embody themes so simply grand, so peculiarly significant. It is worthy, then, of all that art can offer as a testimony.
Nor will the generations which succeed us think greatly of our veneration for our forefathers, if, sounding it as we do from the extreme boundaries of the Republic, in our speeches and addresses, we stint with paltrj- pecuniary saving the stones which we raise to their memorj', — and deny to their virtues, their sufferings, their labors, their wise forethought, the sum which we cheerfully give (and should cheerfully give) to rescue the dwelling and tomb of Washington from destruction, — or to build (as we should build) on spots made famous by the shock of battle, shafts which, meeting " the sun in his coming," proclaim that we owe our national glory in other directions to the sacrifices of those who have passed away ; for never had a people more cause to be grateful to the memory of ttieir founders, or more imperative occasion to obey with cheerful alacrity, love, and thankfulness, the command, " Honor thy father and thy mother ! "

BOSTON IN DISTRICTS.
Boston, like many other large cities, has been, by common consent, divided into districts, with names indi- cating the location of each. Thus we have the North End, West End, South End, South Boston, and East Boston.
NORTH END.
The first section embraces the north end of the city, or all that part lymg north of Faneuil Hall, and what was the Canal, or Mill-Creek. This is the oldest part, and formerly had the advantage of the principal trade. The streets here
are generally narrow and crooked, and some of them remain much as they were when first constructed, on the model of the old towns in England. " The government of the town, soon after its settlement, endeavored to correct some of their early errors, yet they seem to have had an utter aversion to straight lines or right angles ; and, though their moral walk was upright, they took little pains to make their crooked highways straight." This irregularity, however, was partly occasioned by the uneven surface of the ground when the city was first built, and it is by no means certain that this ancient disposition of the streets manifests a want

151
of taste, or has materially injured the appearance of the city.
On this subject a writer observes : " The forms and turn- ings of the streets of London, and other old towns, are produced by accident, without any original plan or design ; but they are not always the less pleasant to the walker or spectator, on that account. On the contrary, had they been built on the regular plan of Sir Christopher Wren, the effect might have been, as it is in some new places, rather unpleasing."
In North Boston the buildings are mostly old, and many are built of wood, and exhibit the different styles of architecture used for a period of more than a century and a half. Except a portion of what was formerly the Mill-Pond, the only spot of land not covered by buildings at present is on Copps Hill, and the greater part of this is occupied for a burial-ground
The channel of Charles River runs close to the shore, and has depth and width sufficient to accommodate ships of the greatest burden.
WEST END.
This part of the city lies between the Common and and Canal Street, west of Hanover and Tremont Streets.
The buildings are principally of brick, erected in a hand- some style, and are mostly used as dwellings.
SOUTH END
The South End comprises all the peninsula south of Summer and Winter Streets, and extends to Roxbury. Those buildings that have been most recently erected are of brick and granite, exhibiting an improved style of archi- tecture. The buildings here, also, are genei-ally occupied for dwellings, except the lower stories of those on Wash- ington Street.
SOUTH BOSTON.
South Boston is that section of the city which is separated from the peninsula, or the ancient town, by an arm of the harbor reaching to iJoxbury. It contains about 560 acres, and, except East Boston, is the newest and most unsettled part of the city. Within a few years the population has increased rapidly, and a considerable number of buildings has been erected, principally of brick. This once was a part of Dorchester, and embraces the hills formerly known as Dorchester Heights, so famed in the annals of the Amer- ican Revolution.
VIEW OF GHAND JUNCTIOK EAILROAD WUARF, EAST BOSTON'.
EAST BOSTON. This is an island, formerly known as Maverick's, Noddle'.-i, and Williams's Island. In 1814, the citizens of Boston erected a fort on its eastern extremity, which was called Fort Stron". In 1830, some eight or ten enterprising capi- talists purchased this island, and commenced laying it out into streets and lots, with a view of making it an important part of the city.
Among the important improvements, we enumerate, — I. The introduction of the Cochituate water. H. The con- struction of the Grand Junction Railroad. III. The con- struction of the sea-wall across the basin, thus reclaimincr a large quantity ot low lands which were hitherto partially covered by the tide-waters. These lands consist of marsh and flats to the extent of about ninety five acres, lying be- tween Westwood Island and the Eastern Railroad.

THE " BACK BAY " IMPROVEMENT.
HISTOBICAIi SKETCHES, BY CHAS. HALE, ESQ.
Nature so contracted the territorial limits of Boston as absolutely to force the reclamation of large tracts of land from the sea, in order to accommodate the ever-growing business and population of the large city which man insisted upon placing upon the three-hilled peninsula. The improve- ments which have already been effected in this way are considerable, and sufficient to change the whole shape of the original town ; yet some of them were made so long ago, that the houses and stores built where water formerly flowed now seem to strangers, and to many residents, as if they had always been a part of the permanent structures of Boston. Some familiar names, however, betray the old land-marks. Thus "Causeway Street" includes a large and solid area that was the "Mill Pond," celebrated in Franklin's autobiography; "Beach Street" marks the an- cient boundary of dry land, the whole " South Cove " being beyond, with its massive and numerous structures, hand- some dwellings, vast hotels, large workshops, and extensive railroad stations, standing where vessels lay within the memory of men still young ; and water formerly washed each side of " the neck," then a narrow road, where now three or four broad avenues, with numeious stately houses intervening, connect the peninsula with the mainland be- yond. The improvement of the " Back Bay," so called, is simply undertaking upon a grand scale the same thing that has been successfully done in a smaller way before ; au enterprise for augmenting, by the hand of man, the territo- rial limits which nature contracted, to give room for the necessary expansion of a solid and substantial growth.
The " Back Bay " lies in the bend which the Charles River makes to the west of the peninsula of Boston, before its waters passing the northerly side of the city reach the east, where the mouth of the river may properly be said to be situated. Nearly half a century ago the " mill-dam," a
solid structure, was built — extending from the lower end of the Common, nearly in a due westerly line — for the double purpose of making a water power by means of a tide-mill, and also of making a roadway or thoroughfare for t ravel, for which a toll franchise was granted by the legisla- ture. The legislature, in 1814, likewise granted to the mill corporation the perpetual right to flowage over the flats or lands enclosed by the mill-dam.
The improvements to which we have already alluded, as having been formerly effected in making reclamations of land from the sea, have generally been accomplished by the private enterprise of individuals or companies, with or without legislative aid, acting, primarily at least, with a view to private profit, generally by making available the flats appurtenant to their own estates bordering on the water. But it was clear that the State itself possessed in such lands or flats au interest altogether too valuable to be overlooked. By the general principles of law, the State or the sovereign is the owner of the fee in all the land under water within three miles of the shore. But an ancient law of Massachu- setts, known as the "colonial ordinance," commonly dated in 1G41, but probably actually passed in 1G47, gave up a great part of the sovereign claim, in favor of the private owners of lands adjoining the shore. By this ordinance, the State retains the fee only of such flats as are below low- mark, or one hundred rods (1G50 feet) below high-water mark. All between wore given up to the private owners of the territory along the shore, as an appurtenance of their upland.
Of course, there is not often a convenient opportunity for the State to fill up the flats of which it is the proprietor, until the private owners have in like manner improved their property which lies intermediate with the upland ; and, until recently, no attempt was made by the State to reclaim in this way any of the lands belonging to it. But when the pi'ivate owners in Boston had very generally ex- hausted their privileges, even as extended by the liberal grant of the colonial ordinance, the legislature was besieged with applications from private individuals or companies for grants of State flats, to be filled and sold for the benefit of the grantees. Several such grants were made.
In 1852, the State took the first step towards the improve- ment of its property in flats, for its own benefit, by the pas- sage of resolves (May 20, 1852), for the ajipointment of three commissioners, with full power to determine and adjust the rights of the State and of all other parties or claimants in the lands and flats of the Back Bay, and to devise a plan for improving the territory, changing its uses from mill purposes to land purposes, for filling it up, laying it out in proper squares, &c. No money at that time, or at any subsequent time, has been placed by the legislature at the disposal of the commissioners for carrying on the im-

provement. They have been confined to such arrange- ments as thej' could make by giving a part of the property itself in exchange for such valuable interests as it was necessary to gain, or for such improvements as have been made. All that has been done, accordingly, has been done without the expenditure of a single cent from the State treasury, except for the compensation of the commissioners during the first five years ; which amounted, altogether, to less than one thousand dollars per annum for that brief period. Even the small sums required on this account are now paid from the fund derived from the proceeds of sales, so that the prosecution of the improvement, while bringing substantial results to the State, entails no burden whatever upon its resources.
The first commissioners were Messrs. John A. Bolles, Giles H. Whitney, and Samuel Hooper, appointed, July 3,
1852, by Gov. Boutwell. Mr. Hooper, going abroad in
1853, resigned; and Simon Greenleaf was appointed by Gov. Clifford, Aug. 6, 1853, but did not accept the place. Joel Giles was appointed by the same executive, Sept. 30, 1853, and served a few months, when he resigned, and Wm. H. Swift was appointed, April 12, 1854, by Gov. Washburn. Ebenezer Bradbury was appointed in Mr. Whitney's place, by the same executive, Dec. 18, 1854. Gov. Gardner changed the board by appointing George Odiorne in Mr. Swift's place, and Edward C. Purdy in Mr. Bradbury's place, Feb. 7, 1855 ; and Stephen P. Fuller in Mr. BoUes's place, and Thomas B. Hall in Mr. Odiorne's place, April 20, 1855. Gov. Banks appointed A. B. Ely in Mr. Hall's place. May 3, 1858 ; Franklin Haven in Mr. Fuller's place, Auo-. 6, 1858 ; and Charles Hale in place of Mr. Ely, who resigned, Sept. 9, 1858. The present commissioners, ac- cordingly, are Messrs. Haven, Purdy, and Hale. The chairmen have been John A. Bolles, who served from the beginning to 1855, three years; Stephen P. Fuller, who served to 1858, three years longer; and Mr. Haven, the present chairman.
It would fill the whole of our little volume to recount in order and in detail the whole proceedings of the commis- sioners. We must content ourselves with a comprehensive summary of what has been done, and a survey of the main features of the enterprise as it now stands.
There were a little more than 200 acres of flats belonging to the State enclosed within the " receiving basin " of the mill-dam. It was acknowledged on all sides that these flats could be filled without causing the slightest injury to the harbor, since they were already cut oS" from the natural ebb and flow of the tide. Moreover, they lay in a most eligible position, in close juxtaposition to lands commanding from two to five dollars per square foot. Accordingly this was the spot selected for the first essay on the part of the
State to make available in money its immense riparian property.
Although the State owned a little more than 200 acres of flats in the Back Bay, yet, as we have already intimated, it had many years ago granted to the mill company the right of keeping them always covered with water. The multi- plication of cheaper water powers in other places rendered the company not adverse to a negotiation, in which they agreed to abandon their tide-mill and to release the right of flowage to the commonwealth, in consideration of a grant of the fee of 100 acres of the flats. The Water Power Company and the commonwealth thus became nearly equally interested in carrying forward the improvement. It was further agreed that the whole should be filled up upon a uniform plan to be prescribed by the State com- missioners.
A small piece of the territory was granted by the State to the city of Boston, as an addition to the Public Garden, in the necessary adjustment of many difiicult and compli- cated questions between the State and the city, relating especially to drainage.
Seventy acres were claimed by the city of Roxbury, not merely as falling within its jurisdiction, but as belonging to it as property. This heavy shadow was finally averted from the enterprise by the decision, in the summer of 1858, of the Supreme Judicial Court, negativing the claim of Rox- bury, and affirming the title of the State to all which it assumed to own.
We have already observed that the State Commissioners have the right to prescribe the plan for laying out streets and avenues over the whole territory, including not merely the lands belonging to the Commonwealth, but also those set off to the Water Power Company ; and other riparian owners will be relieved from the operation of the right of flowage possessed by the Corporation upon condition of conforming to the same plan. Thus endowed with ample authority, the Commissioners have adopted a magnificent plan, by which one-third of the whole extent of the terri- tory is generously devoted to public purposes. The streets are all parallel to, or at right angles with, the mill-dam, or Beacon Street, which may be considered as the base line of the system. Boylston Street is continued westerly from its present terminus, parallel with Beacon Street. All the lands belonging to the Commonwealth lie between Beacon Street and Boylston Street, a space of about 1,300 feet In this space three great avenues have been laid out, ex- tending westerly parallel with Beacon and Boylston Streets. Two of these avenues are 60 feet in width each, besides which the houses on each side will be set back 22 feet, making a total space of 104 feet between the houses. These avenues are named Marlborough Street and Newbury
154
SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY.
Street, in memory of the names which, in the ancient his- tory of Boston, attached to parts of the great thoroughfare now known as Washington Street. Between them there extends westerly from a point marking the middle of the far- ther boundary of the Public Garden, a broad avenue which claims admiration as the most splendid feature of the plan. It is laid out a mile and a half in length, with a width of two hundred and forty feet between the houses on each side. About half of this space, in the centre of the avenue, is de- sit'ned to bo set apart for four continuous rows of trees, forming a long park, with a drive-way upon each side. It is expected that stately and spacious dwellings will adorn this great avenue, and that it will become a favorite place for the display of taste and wealth in the construction of dwelling-houses. Next to the Public Garden is a street running at right angles to the three avenues which we have described, 80 feet in width, followed by others laid out in the same direction, at intervals of about GOO feet, across the whole territory. These streets are not formally named as yet ; but it is not improbable that they may be named ac- cording to an alphabetical series, somewhat as follows, viz., — • Arlington Street, Berkeley Street, Clarendon Street, Ded- ham Street, Exeter Street, Falmouth Street, Gloucester Street, &c. Dedham Street forms a connection at Tremont Street with Dedham Street as laid out upon the city's lands. None of the other cross streets, as now laid out, join pre- cisely with others of the city's streets.
The extent and character of the territory belonging to the State, after the conclusion of the arrangements above described, may be recapitulated as follows : —
The land which Is included in the lota, exclusive of the rear passage-wavs, contains 2,453,730 square feet.
There are included in the passage ways, 198,170 " "
There are appropriated to public squares to be orna- mented and enclosed, 318,632 "
There are appropriated for streets for public travel and use 1,102,328 •' "
Makinga total of 4,067,880 " "
Besides about 200,000 feet west of £zeteT Street.
The first -sale made by the Commissioners was effected in 1857, when the block fronting upon Beacon Street, 596 feet, and extending back 120 feet, between Arlington and Berkeley Streets, was sold to Messrs. Wm. W. Goddard and T. Bigelow Lawrence for $70,000, whereof one-quarter was paid in cash.
In addition to this sale, the Commissioners, during the summer of 1858, have made sale of about 260,000 super- ficial feet of land to Messrs. Goss and Monson, the present contractors for filling. The price agreed upon is three hun- dred and five thousand dollars ; and the Commonwealth is to receive payment for the same in the filling of this and
other adjacent land in the Back Bay. The sale is made upon the condition that no deed shall be given for any por- tion of the land thus sold, until such portion shall be paid for in money or filling, or the payment is fully secured. In accordance with this agreement, deeds have been given of four separate portions of territory, amounting in all to 118,- 720 superficial feet, at the average price of the whole land thus sold, namely, a fraction less than one dollar and seven- teen cents per foot. A part of the land thus conveyed has been paid for in filling, and the payment for the remainder is amply secured. It is computed that the proceeds of the entire sale to these parties will be suflficient to pay for filling the space between the Public Garden and a line drawn parallel therewith considerably beyond Berkeley Street ; and will give to the Commonwealth, filled, completed, and ready for sale, upwards of three hundred thousand super- ficial feet of land, as valuable as any in the whole area of the Back Bay.
The lands thus conveyed to the contractors have been conveyed by them to purchasers, most of whom propose to erect dwellings for themselves upon their lots. They in- clude the whole of the block on Marlborough Street, be- tween Arling.'on and Berkeley Streets, and portions of the blocks on Newbury and Boylston Streets, between the same streets, and at the west corner of Beacon and Berkeley Streets. A large lot at the corner of Boylston and Arling- ton Streets has been purchased by several gentlemen con- nected with Dr. Gannett's society, now worshipping in Federal Street, as a site for a new church for that society.
The Commissioners have likewise recently made sale of lots of land upon Arlington, JIarlborough, and Newbury Streets, and the grand avenue, at prices ranging from $1 50 to $3 per square foot, the aggregate proceeds of which sales have amounted to more than one hundred thousand doUars.
The whole quantity of " good and solid earth and clean gravel " which has been filled into the lands belonging to the Commonwealth in the Back Bay, according to exact measurements and computations, amounted, on the first day of November, 1858, to nearly one hundred and twenty thousand cubic yards. The contractors ate pursuing their work with industry and energy. The material used in fill- ing is excellent. It is brought from gravel beds in Need- ham, a distance of nine miles, first by the Charles River Branch Railroad to Brookline,and thence by a special track built for this service parallel with the Brookline Branch, Worcester, and Providence Railroads. The contractors have provided an ample equipment, and their cars are con- stantly running both night and day during the whole time, excepting the sacred hours of Sunday.
Besides the lands belonging to the Commonwealth, the Water Power Company own a domain of equal extent, and

in addition thereto the " full basin," which at some future day is no doubt dt^stined to be filled.
Jt is a part of the stipulations with the State that the tolls upon travel upon the milldam shall cease from and after May 1, 1863.
It is difficult, at this early day, to estimate the value of the State's property in these premises. We have already seen that the extent of land included in lots, exclusive of passage vfays, is 2,453,730 feet. It would seem to be en- tirely safe to estimate the whole property at $1.50 pel' foot, as it is not probable that any part of it will hereafter be sold for less than this sum. This would yield to the State $3,- 750,000, or at least $2,500,000 above all expenses of filling or otherwise. The event will probably prove that tbis esti- mate is altogether too moderate.

The Committee representing the various Scientific, Commercial, Industrial, Educational, and Art Associations, who petitioned the last Legislature for a reservation of Back Bay Lands, held their first meeting since the adjourn- ment of the session on the afternoon of April 8, at the Library of the Boston Society of Natural History.
Mr. M. D. Ross explained the action of the Legislature in regard to the memorial, and the report of the Back Bay Committee, which reviews and approves the general plan of the Association of the Institutions, and finally recommends " that the reservation of the land prayed for in the memorial committed to them should be made, believing it will be of advantai^e to the State, both in an educational and financial point of view." Notwithstanding the favorable report of the Legislative Committee, the publioa'ion of a false report in some of the papers, and the fact that it was not deemed expedient to recommend immediate action, have given rise to the impression that the plan was not favorably received by the Legislature.
The Committee desire to correct this, and to state that they did not wish to press so important a subject, especially as the land could not be ready for occupancy the present year ; they feel satisfied with the progress made, and confi- dent that, after another yeai-'s labor, they shall be able to present to the next Legislature an additional array of facts and arguments that cannot fail to convince every one of the importance of the work they have undertaken, and thus to secure the establishment of these much needed educational institutions.
It was voted to print for circulation throughout the State the Memorial and the House Report, to request the friends of education throughout the Commonwealth to make them- selves familiar with the plan as laid down in the Memorial
and amplified in the Report They also solicit the co- operation of the citizens generally, to enable them to present a more completely organized plan at the next session of the Legislature, — any communications on the subject to be addressed to Dr. S. Kneeland, Jr., Secretary of the Committee, Boston.
It was voted to hold meetings on the first Monday of every month, at 3 P. M^ at the Library of the Boston Society of Natural History, and as much oftener as circum- stances may require.
The Committee, as now organized, consists of the follow- ing gentlemen : — Hon. Marshall P. Wilder, George W. Pratt, Samuel H. Gookin, Alfred Ordway, M. D. Ross, Hon. Alex. H. Rice, E. S. Toby, James M. Beebe, Prof. William B. Rogers, Dr. S. Cabot, Jr., Amos Binney, Dr. S. Kneeland, Jr., Charles L. Flint, B. S. Rotch, and J. D. Philbrick.
N. B. — Copies of the Legislative Report, including the Memorial, will be furnished gratis to Associations and indi- viduals interested in the subject, on application to the Secretary.

THE IMPROVEMENT OF FRANKLIN STREET.
"Alt thrives most "WTiere commerce has enriciied the busy coast."
Cowper.
Commerce is the great change-maker of the world. She touches familiar objects with a wand more potent than that of Prospero, and straightway even the most solid of them are found to disappear. She passes, in her mighty sweep, over whole streets and squares, changing their aspect in a single season from the quiet and seclusion of domestic life to the hurry of business and the ceaseless rush of trade. Behind the wheels of her mighty car spring up palaces of granite, almost as proud as any which the munificence of an Imperial treasury could create ; and the eye, long accustom- ed to the unobtrusive structures of private residence, finds itself almost overpowered by the massiveness and grandeur of the edifices which her lavish hand is continually calling into existence to displace them. Enter any of the well- known localities which her footsteps have invaded, and we look about us only to marvel at the completeness of the tranformation, and to wonder what seeming magic has effected so vast a change.
The past year has given us an instance of this mighty change, as remarkable and as complete as any which the history of our ciiy can show. " Franklin Place," once the residence of the wealthy and fashionable of the city is now no more. It has given place, since our last issuej to
156
SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY.
"Franklin Street," — a street composed on either side of stores and warehouses as stately and imposing as any of which the busiest marts of commerce can boaist. An enter- prise conceived with so much foresight and carried out with such liberality and taste demands a special record in our pages; and we have been at the pains, therefore, to secure a compendium of the various steps in this great improvement, with the conviction that it will prove of general interest to the community.
The first step in this great movement was commenced by the trustees under the will of the late Joshua Sears. By the decease of this well-known capitalist, in the winter of 1856-7, nearly two millions of dollars came into the hands of these gentlemen, to be invested in buildings, and in mortgages on real estate, located in the city of Boston. In compliance with the directions of the testator, in May, 1857, they purchased the Marshall estate, then bounded by the corner of Theatre Alley, at the price of seven dollars per foot
During the summer after this purchase, the city authori- ties, in the execution of a long contemplated plan of im- provement, laid out and extended Devonshire Street from Milk Street to Franklin Place, involving in this extension a large portion of the Marshall estate, taken from its eastern boundarj-. Bordering thus on a new and convenient avenue, the Trustees proceeded to erect on the remainder of the estate the noble edifice which forms the first of our series of illustrations.
View of Building 74 and 7G FmnkUii Street.
Built of Quincy granite throughout, this fine structure covers an area of 135 by 35 feet, and is six stories in height. Being intended, in some sense, as commemorative of the testator, from a portion of whose abundant wealth it was erected, a higher degree of ornament has been given to it than to any structure occupied for the purposes of trade in the city. The tooling of the piers of the basement, and the bold sweep of the arch mouldings which they support, are singularly fine and effective. The key-stones are orna-
mented with emblematical heads, designed, as well as all the other statuary and alto-relievos of the facades, by Hammatt Billings, Esq. ; the general plans and drawings for the building being by G. J. F. Bryant, Esq., whose name we shall have frequent occasion to record in the course of our survey.
The building agents of the trustees, by whom the works were performed, were Messrs. Edwin Adams, Roberts, and Jacobs. The stone work was executed at Quincy by the Granite Railway Company, and in a manner which leaves little to be attained in the working of this stubborn but im- perishable material. This palatial edifice has been leased, at a remunerative percentage, by Messrs. Burr Brothers & Co., E. G. Tileston, Wm. R. Lovejoy & Son, and C. II. Mills.
The building next above the one Jilready described, and joining it on the westerly side, was erected by Mr. E. W. Pike, on an estate leased by him from Ignatius Sargent, Esq. It is a plain structure of undressed granite, and covers an area of about 86 by 46 feet.
In the autumn of 1857 the Sears trustees made a further purchase of the next estate but one on the west, the Tilden estate; and early in 1858 completed their acquisitions to the westward of the Marshall estate, between it and the Tilden estate, by the purchase of the Bradlee, Fay and Andrews estates, — all at the price of nine dollars per foot. Upon this large area, presenting a frontage on Franklin Street of no less than 120 feet, their architect, Mr. Bryant, has designed four stores of superior finish, which form the subject of our next illustration.
From their vast height, the largeness of their parts, and the complete uniformity of style displayed in them, these stores form the most conspicuous, and in many respects the most striking, edifice in the new street. There are, indeed, one or two faults of detail which might, perhaps, be objected to by a critical taste ; but in general their air and style and effect are most satisfactory and imposing. The designs of the fronts are composed with a breadth and force which are admirably suited to the solid material employed in them ; while their interior conveniences and accommodations are arranged with every improvement which the experience of the architect and builders could suggest.
The well-known firm of J. M. Beebe & Co. have leased the easterly half of this stately block for a term of years ; and it is scarcely necessary to say that the business which they are able at once to remove to it is second in amount to that of no other concern of the kind in the United States, The westerly half will be occupied by the firms of Stanfield. Wcntworth & Co., and Edwards, Nichols & Richards. This block has also been constructed by the building agents of the trustees, and the granite facade supplied by the Granite Railway Company.

Vieic of Block of Stores Nos. 62 to 66 Franklin Street,
The next property to the westward is owned by Mrs. William P. Winchester, and presents a frontage on Franklin Street of about 60 feet. We understand that a block is contemplated on this property, though we are unable to speak with any certainty as to its details or style, for want of information regarding them.
Proceeding still further up the street, we come to a very neat and pleasing example of a plain Italian style, in the block now in process of erection for the daughters of the late Thomas Wigglesworth. This structure covers about two-thirds of the mansion-house estate, long the residence
of the family of Mr. W., and presents a frontage on Frank- lin Street of 84 feet. When completed it will be one of the most tasteful and appropriate edifices in the whole range. The architect, Mr. Bryant, has evidently been seconded by the good taste, not less than the liberality of the owners, in his desire to secure a worthy continuation of the enterprise commenced below ; and it is truly giatifying to observe such a commendable harmony of action in the carrying out of improvements conceived in the most broad and liberal measure of public spirit. The granite was supplied by Messrs. Octavius T. Rogers & Co., of Quiney, who have

furnished a rich and beautiful material ; and the stores have been constructed by Messrs. Joel Wheeler & Sons, and Moses Standish. These stores, when completed, will be occupied by Messrs. Almy, Patterson & Co. ; E. Allen & Co., and Gardner Colby & Co.
We have now arrived at the fine estate which bounds on the corner of Hawley and Franklin Streets, the truly ele- gant edifice erected on which, from the designs of Mr. Bryant, form the subject of the preceding illustration. This estate was purchased from the heirs of the late Mr. Wigghs- worth, in the month of April, 1858, by Phineas Upham, Esq., at the rate of ten dollars per square foot; and such rapid progress has been made in the building, under the charge of Messrs. J. E. and N. & D. J. Brown, that it is now nearly ready for occupancy. The builders are Messrs. Joel Wheeler & Sons, and the grani'o work from the quarry
of the Granite Railway Company. It is leased to Messrs. J. W. Paige & Co. and Pierce Brothers & Flanders. The style partakes slightly of the Venetian modifications of detail, and is finished in a very thorough and characteristic manner throughout. The cornice, in particular, merits the approbation of the amateur and architectural student ; and there is a general air of unity in all the masses of the front which impresses the eye of the spectator in the most agree- able manner.
We have thus completed our hasty survey of all the im- provements on the north side of the new street. It will be seen, upon a retrospect, that, with the single exception of the one estate for which the plans are understood to be now in preparation, the whole line of the street from Hawley Street, on the west, to the new extension of Devonshire Street, on the east, has been covered wiih costly warehouses
Viev) of Block of Stoics Nos, 31 to 65 Franklin
of granite within a period of little more than a year from the date of their commencement. Such evidences of activity, energy, and comprehensive good taste should not pass unrecorded in our annual pages. The history of our growing city presents us with no records of such weighty and thoroughly successful achievements.
The south side of the street is not, however, to be consid- ered as entiiled to any secondary place in our survey. On the contrary, there has been even a more complete mutual
Street, over which stood for so many years the apartments of the old Boston Libiary.
The block of stores already erected reaches, in one uniform facade, from Hawley Street to Arch Street, 220 feet in length, 108 feet in depth, and of five s'ories in height in addition to the basements and attic,". It possesses a peculiar advaiitage in being surrounded on all foursides by thorough- fares, thus giving the utmost convenience of access for the requirements of wholesale business. Six of the eight stores

on the north side ; and the happy result is shown in the chaste and finely proportioned block of eight first-class stores which form the subject of the above illustration. It will be recollected that the crescent-shaped side of the street is bisected at a point near the centre by the opening of Arch
whole stand upon estates formerly owned by Messrs. John Bryant, Thomas A. Dexter, Thomas Wigglesworth, the Babcock heirs, Dr. George Bates, the heirs of Benjamin Bussey, and Hon. George T. Bigelow.
The buildings have been erected by the owners or pur-

chasers of these various estates, as follows, viz. : John Sim- mons, the purchaser of ihe Bryant, Dexter, and Bigelow lots, and thus the owner of the two west as well as the two east stores of the block ; the trustees of the estate of Bussey, on the lot before named as belonging to that estate, and also purchasers of the Bates estate, thus beconaing the owners of the two stores next adjoining the two east end stores of Mr. Simmons. Thomas Wigglesworth is the owner of the store adjoining the two west end stores of Mr. Simmons ; and the block is then completed by the store of Lemuel M. Standish and Charles Woodbuiy, purchasers of the Babcock estate, as thus the owners of the store located between that of Mr. Wigglesworth and the Bussey trustees.
This fine block may well be said to stand in the foremost rank among the palaces of trade. Its noble proportions, and the strength and massiveness of its details, will not be found to suffer in the least by comparison with its opposite neighbors. And the architect, Mr. Bryant, might be con- gratulated on the erection of this block alone, as having
completed a structure, for business purposes, such as ro city in this country can excel.
The construction of these buildings is in the hands of Messrs. J. E. and N. & 1). J. Brown, with the exception of the store of Mr. Wigglesworth, which is in charge of the Messrs. Wheeler & Sons and Moses Standish. The occu- pants of these several stores will be the following well- known firms : of Mr. Simmons's two west stores, Jeweft, Tebbetts & Co., and Burrage Brothers & Co. ; of Mr. Wig- glesworth's store, Woodman, Horswell & Co., and Dodge, Baldwin & Co.; of Standish & Woodbury's store, B. C. Howard & Huston ; of the Bussey Irustees's store, Denny, Rice & Co , and Austin Sumner & Co. ; and of Mr. Sim- mons's two east stores, Wilkinson, Stetson & Co.
We next pass to the illustration which shows the equally imposing block on the other side of Arch Street, projected also by Mr. Bryant, and now in process of erection. It extends to Devonshire Street as laid out to Winthrop and Otis Places, on the " forked route " of Mr. Stetson, and

terminates the present improvements in Franklin Street in that direction.
This block embraces six stores, occupying the sites of the estates recently the property of William D. S9hier, Mrs. A. L. C. Dunlap, Mrs. William P. Winchester, Edward Wigglesworth, Ignatius Sargent, and of Harvard University. The stores on these estates are erected by J. Bowdoin Bradlee, who purchased the Sohier estate, bounding on Arch Street, at twelve dollars per foot ; by Mrs. Dunlap, the owner of the property next adjoining Mr. Bradlee ; by William Sohier, trustee of the estaie of Mrs. Winchester,
whose property adjoins that of Mrs. Dunlap, to the east part ; and by Edward Wigglesworth, who erects three stores on such portion of his own estate and those of Mr Sargent and of Harvard College as remain after the laying out of the " forked route " extension of Devonshire Street, by the city. These stores are already leased to the following parties: that owned by Mr. Bradlee to Frothingham & Co. ; that owned by Mrs. Dunlap to Johnson, Sewall & Co. ; that owned by Mrs. Winchester to W^hitwell, INIarsh & Talbot, and Whitney & Washburn ; and that owned by Edward Wigglesworth to Converse, Harding & Co.
160
SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY.
The builders in charge of the buildings are J. E. and N. & D. J. Brown for Mrs. Dunlap, Joel Wheeler & Sous and Moses S andish for Edward Wigglesworth, and Thomas J. Whidden and Carlisle & Curamings for Mr. Bradlee. The granite for the entire block, excepting the store of Mrs. Winchester, is supplied by Messrs. O. T. Rogers & Co , of Quincy ; that for Mrs. Winchester being procured by the Granite Railway Co., of Quincy.
It may readily be conceived that the increase of valuation in the real estate of this street, and the permanent addition thus caused to the taxable property of the municipality, is indeed great. It has been estimated, by good judges, as high as $2,500,000.
To John Simmons, Esq., must, in a great degree, be as- signed the credit of the first conception of this great enter- prise. The foresight and sagacity exhibited in the early purchases, by this gentleman, in Franklin Street, and the spirit which dictated the noble improvements commenced bv him upon his newly acquired property, were not without their effect upon the other capitalists of our city, who knew that it must be safe to follow where a man of his long-tried experience had shown himself so willing to lead. His courage gave credit to the undertaking ; and the conmiu- nity are indebted to him, more perhaps than to any other sinMe citizen, for inspiring the confidence which of itself insures success to an undertaking of such magnitude and importance.
The trustees of the Sears estate have also been constantly in the field as purchasers, ever since the first conception of the enterprise. They have thus been able, it will be per- ceived, to secure some of the best estates at prices most favorable to the permanent investment of the large property which they represent.
To the efforts, also, of Joshua Stetson, Esq., the friends of the Franklin Street improvement must always acknowl- edge themselves to be greatly indebted. To his persevering efforts in advocating the " forked route," for the extension of Devonshire Street, they owe the complete success of a plan which, in spite of much strenuous opposition, was at len'Jth ahnost unanimously adopted. It is believed that the experience of each succeeding year will show the vast superiority of this plan over any of the others which, for so Ion" a period, have engaged the attention and divided the opinions of the city authorities. To the explanation, the advocacy, and the defence of this important measure, Mr. S:etson may be said to have given his whole energies; and, without his patience and assiduity, it is safe to assert that the measure would never have been successfully carried through. Nor has any one been more active or zealous than himself in calling the attention of both capitalists and tenants to the peculiar advantages of the Franklin Street property, or more influential in securing their co-operation
to complete, in a truly elegant style, the stately structures . which adorn what is destined to be the principal dry goods business street of this metropolis.
Nor is our record complete without especial commenda- tion of the very responsible and laborious services of Alder- man Wightman (Chairman of the Committee on Streets), rendered in behalf of the interests of the city, yet with a just appreciation of public requirements. The community have received, in his zealous and successful endeavors, the results of a comprehensive sagacity, that will largely enure to the general welfare, both corporate and public.
It is liighly possible that buildings of a similar character to these we have now described may yet be erected on the extension of Devonshire Street to Otis and Winthrop Places. The fine frontage presented by the opening of this new area offers peculiar advantages for stores of the best description ; while the new buildings already under contract between Milk and Franklin Streets, on the one side of this portion of the new street, and the renovation, with iron and brick facings, of the large stores on the other side, will offer such inducements for business as will be likely to fill this street, also, with tenants of the best description.
It may be many years, perhaps, before any s'milar under- taking will be carried out, in our city, on so large a scale. In regard to this question, however, it must, after all, be said that " time alone can show." If the erection of so large a number of first-oldss stores should have the effect permanently to vacate others already occupied, there would be reasonable gi-our.d to anticipate such a result. But, on the other hand, it must be observed that the present action of the Commonwealth, in the filling of the Back- Bay lands in a superior manner, and the laying out of that vast area upon such a noble and comprehensive plan, — with its broad avenues, and its wide and airy house-lots, — will have an increasing tendency to draw away more and more of private residences to the new quarter, in each succeeding year. And to the sites of the homes thus deserted, if the past be any indication of the future, will succeed, as if by an inevitable law, a continual reproduction of TuE Palaces of Trade.
TAXABLE PROPERTY ON FRANKLIN STREET.
The Assessors' books of 1859 show the amount of taxable property on Franklin Street, between Hawley and Devon- shire Streets, to be as follows : The taxes assessed on the north side of the street amount to, real $701,000, personal, $1,225,000, and on the south side of the street to real $730,000, personal $1,220,000, making a total of property, real and personal, to the amount of nearly four millions of dollars. Several large firms have taken possession of their stores since the first of May, and are not included in the above, and three stores are not yet finished.

ITie extension of Devonshire Street is an improvement of great magnitude, or rather a portion of a grand enter- prise, of which Franklin Street also constitutes a prominent feature. The full accomplishment of the improvements intended remains to be effected. But a brief period will see them finally developed. The credit of instituting these enterprising measures, is due to Mayor Rice, from whose inaugural address of January, 1857, we quote : —
"The great increase of business in the vicinity of Milk, Federal, Congress, and Pearl Streets, with the prospect of a similar increase in Franklin, Summer, and other street at an early period ; the enlarged communication with South Boston, — one of the most flourishing sections of our terri tory, — together with the prospective opening and extension of Albany Street, and the constantly increasing business of the great lines of railroads which terminate on the South Cove, render necessary some relief to the thoroughfares between these two sections."
" Among all the routes yet suggested, no one seems to possess more claims than the following : — Commencing at the square in Summer Street from which radiate Summer, High, South, Lincoln, and Bedford Streets, pass through Winthrop Place to Franklin Street, cross Franklin Street, and widen Odeon Avenue to Milk Street, and Devonshire Street to Water Street, thus forming a direct line from State Street to the AVorcester Riilroad, and thence by the collateral streets east of the railroads, to South Boston ; and by way of Winthrop and Otis Places, and Kingston and Albany Streets, to the Neck lands and Roxbury."
These improvements are now in progress.

THE UAUBOPv OF BOSTON.
The Harbor extends from Nantasket to the city, and spreads from Chelsea and Nahant to Ilingham ; containing about 75 square miles. It is bespangled with upwards of 50 islands or rocks, and receives the waters from the ^Mystic, Charles, Neponset, and Manatticut Kivers, with several other smaller streams.
The most noted islands arc Governor's Island and Castle Island, both of which are fortified : the former is now called Fort Warren, the latter Fort Independence. They lie about two and a half miles easterly from the city, dividing the inner from the outer harbor, about one mile distant from each other ; and the only channel for largo ships passes

165
between them. Belle Isle and East Boston lie to the north- east of the city on the Chelsea coast, which, together with most of the islands in the harbor, come within the jurisdic- tion of the city. Deer Island, about five miles east, and Long Island, about five and a half east by south, command the outer harbor. Thompson and Spectacle Islands lie southeasterly towards Squantum, and within the parallel of Long Island. Kainsford, or Hospital Island, is about one mile southeasterly from Long Island. Gallop, George, and Ijovel's Islands, lie east by south, from seven to eight miles from Boston, and between Broad Sound and Nantasket Road. Pethick's Island lies south of Nantasket Road, or IlinTham Bay. The Lighthouse Island, on which the lighthouse stands, lies south G9 degrees easf, 8| miles. The Brewsters, Calf Island, Green Island, &c., lie northerly from the Lighthouse ; forming a chain of islands, rocks, and ledges about three miles to the Graves Rocks, between which no ships attempt to pass.
The water in this harbir is of a sufficient depth to admit •'500 ships of the largest class to ride at anchor in sifety ; .while the entrance is so narrow as scarcely to admit two ships abreast. Boston is finely situated for commerce, and has more shipping than any other city in the United States, except Kew York. The wharves and piers are exten- sive, provided with spacious stores and warehouses, with everv convenience for the safe mooring and securing of vessels.
The city exhibits a very picturesque and beautiful view when approached from the sea, and its general appearance is much admired by strangers.
ISLANDS IN BOSTON HARBOR.
The islands in Boston Harbor are delightful r sorts for citizens and strangers during the hot summer weather. If there are natural beauties, romantic elevations, or silent and wild retreats, in the vicinity of Boston, worth the poet's and philosopher's attention, they are in the harbor ; but to be admired they must be seen. These islands are gradually wearing away ; and, where large herds of cattle were pas- tured sixty years ago, the ocean now rolls its angry billows, and lashes -with an overwhelming surge the last remains of earth.
From the appearance which the islands present at this period, these were once round, or in other words were nearly circular at the base, and rose above the water like a dome ; but the northern blasts, in connection with the terrible force of the tides accompanying such storms, have com- pletely waihed away every one of them upon the north side, in such a manner that they actually appear like half an island — having had a vertical section ; and hence there is a per-
pendicular bank facing the north, while the south and west gradually slope to the edge. To the east, the tide has made some destruction, but it bears no proportion to the north. This peculiarity is observable in all the islands which have soil. Towards the outer lighthouse, the islands are almost barreji ledges of rocks, — having been washed of the earth i from time immemorial. It is on the northeastern sides that the most danger is to be apprehended. Thompson's Island lying between the Castle and Moon Head, is secured by natural barriers, as the former receives and resists the force of the tide before it reaches Thompson's; but Long Island, although defended in a measure by Rainsford, Gallop, George's, and Lovel's Islands, has lost considerable soil. Spectacle Island, so called from i's supposed resemblance to a pair of spectacles, is sifting away by slow degrees, and nothing will prevent it.
GEOEGE'S ISLAND.
This island is the key to the harbor, — commanding the open sea, afibrding one of the best places for fortifications of any among the number. There is an elevation on the east and northeaist, nearly 50 feet above high water-mark, m some places, with an «asy ascent towards the south and southwest to the channel. This is the property of the United States. Fifty thousind dollai-s have been expended by government for building a sea-wall on the norihcast. A trench was dug at the foot, below the low-water mark, in which the foundation has been laid. This was made of | split stone, of great weight, and bolted together with copper. We have never seen any masonry that would compare with it, in point of strength and workmanship. On this a second wall has been erected, equally formidable, on which the artillery is to be mounted. Under the superintendence of Captain Smith, whose good judgment has been exercised from the beginning, we may e.xpect a fort in the outer harbor that will bid defiance to all the ships of war that ever sailed.
CASTLE ISLAND,
On which stands Fort Independence, was selected as the most suitable place for a fortress for the defence of the harbor, as early as 1G33. It was built at first with mud walls, which soon fell to decay, and was afterwards rebuilt with pine trees and earth. In a short time, this also became useless, and a small castle was built with brick walls, and had three rooms in it; a dwelling-room, a lodging-room over it, and a gun-room over that. The erection of this castle gave rise to the present name of the island. Great improvements are in progress here by the United States Government.
166
SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY.
GOVERNOR'S ISLAND
Lies about one mile north of Castle Island, and was first called Conant's Island. It -was demised to Governor Winthrop in 1632, and for many years after was called the Governor's Garden. It is now in the possession of James Winthrop, Esq , a descendant of the first Governor, excepting a part conveyed by him to the United States, for the purpose of constructing a fortress, now called Fort Warren. Its situation is very commanding, and in some respects superior to Castle Island.
NODDLE'S ISLAND
Was first occupied by Samuel Maverick. He was on it when the settlement of Boston commenced. He built a fort in which he mounted four cannons, and afterwards had a grant of it from the General Court. In 1814, a strong fortress was built on this island by the citizens, and called Fort Strong, in honor of the Governor. This island is now known by the name of East Boston.
POINT SHIRLY
Formerly had the name of Pulling Point. The name which it now bears was given to it by the proprietors as a mark of respect to the late Governor Shirly.

Is a delightful island, and is owned and leased by the city. It was formerly a place of great resort in the summer season for parties of pleasure. It is now entirely occupied for the City Institutions. The general government for several years past have been building a sea-wall round it of a formidable character. The first appropriation of Con- gress towards the object was eighty-seven thousand dollars.
LIGHTHOUSE ISLAND
Was known for many years by the name of Beacon Island. The first lighthouse was erected in 1715. Pilots are established at this place, provided with excellent boats, and a piece of artillery to answer signals.
THOMPSON'S ISLAND.
This is a promontory, nearly a mile and a half long, jutting into the harbor, opposite Spectacle Island. The Boston Farm School Association have purchased this island, and estabhshed here their Farm School.
NIX'S MATE Is an irregular, barren, and rocky base of an island, be- tween Gallop and Long Island Head, almost entirely con- cealed at high water. There is a beacon of split stone in
the centre, nearly forty feet square, fastened together by copper bolts, which perfectly secures it from the tremendous force of the waves in times of northeasterly gales. To speak more definitely, the shape is a parallelogram, the sides being 1 2 feet high, and ascended by stone steps on the south side. On the top of this is a six-sided pyramid of wood, 20 feet high, with one window to the south. This is the conspicuous part of the beacon, and serves as a promi- nent warning to seamen, to keep from the dangerous shoal on which it stands. At low tide, more than an acre of land is visible, and at high tide, only small boats can sail to the monument. A very aged gentleman states that he can remember when Nix's Mate was a verdant island, on which a large number of sheep were pastured. Forty-five years ago, although the soil is now completely gone, there was pasturage for fifty head of sheep, entirely above high-water mark.
Tradition says that the master of a vessel, whose name was Nix, was murdered by his mate, and buried on this island, some century and a half ago. The mate was exe- cuted for the horrid crime, but declared he was innocent of the murder, and prophesied that the island, as an evidence of his innocence, would be entirely washed away. He was executed nearly on the spot where the pyramid is erected. The total disappearance of the land, above water, has led many to beUeve the truth of his assertion, — that he was unjustly put to death. The circumstances were handed down from one generation to another, till the erection of the beacon, when by general consent, among seamen, it took the name of Nix's Mate. It was the custom about a century ago to hang pirates in chains on this island, to strike a terror to sailors as they came into port, that the influence mifht deter them from the commission of such wickedness.
ISLAND FORESTS.
An impression exists, that the islands in^ Boston Harbor were never wooded. The fact is, they were once covered by a fine growth of trees, which remained in their original viaoT and beauty, long after the settlement of Boston. On the 13th of January, 1G38, 30 men went down to Spectacle Island to cut wood, fuel being very scarce in town. A great storm came up, which drove the boat still further oat ; and one of the number was drowned. In the year 1633, William Wood visited Boston, and subsequently wrote New England's Prospect. After a general description of the harbor, he remarks, in regard to the islands, that " the seamen, having spent their old store of xoood and water, may here have fresh supplies from the adjacent islands, with good timber to repair their weather-beaten ships." Speaking ofBoston, he says, " The greatest wants are wood and meadow i ground, which were never in this place, being constrained to

felch their iuilding limber and Jire-wood from the islands, in boats." Boston was undoubtedly originally covered with a wood, which had been burnt off by the Indians, to clear the ground for planting corn, which was their custom. Mr. Wood introduces an observation in relation to the Neck : " The marshes being not half a quarter of a mile over, so that a little fencing will secure their cattle from the wolves."

MINOT'S ROCK LIGHTHOUSE.
Probably no work more assuredly illustrates the indomi- table force of American energy, than the construction of this shaft on the ocean. To the e.xlended sketch which follows we assign the space in our already swelling pages, convinced
that the record is a judicious investment in the interest of our readers.
[From the " Boston Journal " of Oct 2, 1858.] The city government and invited guests will go down the harbor to-day, to inaugurate with appropriate ceremo- nies the corner-stone of the new Lighthouse on Minot's Ledge. The steamer " Nantasket " has been engeiged for the occasion, and will leave Liverpool Wharf at 10 o'clock, A. M., for Minot's Rock.
The occasion is one of much interest to the mercantile community of Boston. Minot's Rock is the outer of the Cohasset rocks, situated north from Cohasset, and a little less than three miles from the Glades. The distance from Boston is about seventeen miles, and from Boston Light something less than eight miles. The diameter of the rock at the top, which is exposed at extreme low water, is about thirty-five feet. The ledge extends in shore, affording an additional surface of rock, which is partially exposed at low water in calm weather. These rocks had long been the terror of mariners, and the repeated shipwrecks which occurred upon them attracted public attention to the neces- sity of a lighthouse to serve as a beacon of warning, and to aid the mariner in finding the entrance to the harbor in darkness and storm. Some eighteen or twenty years ago, the Boston Marine Society, and many of the merchants of this citj', petitioned Congress for an appropriation to erect a lighthouse on the Cohasset rocks. The petition was ably supported by the Senators and Representatives from this State, but the subject was discussed for several sessions before it was acted upon. A plan was submitted by the late Captain Winslow Lewis for a granite lighthouse, upon a principle somewhat similar to that of the Eddystone light, in the British Channel. He proposed to erect the light on the ledge to the west of the outer Minot. Elis plan was favorably received, and was recommended by the Light- house Committee ; but no appropriation was made to carry it into efiect. Subsequently an appropriation was made to establish a light on Cohasset rocks ; and the whole matter was committed to the engineer department, to carry out the project. This department adopted the plan of a iron pile lighthouse, three of which have been erected in Eng- land. It was a bold experiment, for the English light- houses of the same pattern had been built in shallow water. The result was most disastrous.
The construction of the lighthouse was placed under the superintendence of Capt. W. A. Swift, of the topographical engineers. The work was commenced in 1847, and the drilling of the holes in the rock for the iron piles occupied the greater part of two seasons. The holes were drilled by machinery, which was twice swept from the rock during the first season's operations. The piles were erected in Sep-
168

tember and October, 1848, and the lighthouse proper was placed upon the piles in 1849 ; the work being completed in the fill of that year.
The base of the structure was formed of eight heavy wrought iron piles, eight inches in diameter at the foot, and four and a half inches at the top. These piles were forged in two pieces each, which were erected one above the other, and connected by very stout cast-iron or gun-metal sockets secured in the strongest manner. The diameter of the structure ,at the base was twenty-five feet, and the piles inclined towards the centre so as to bring the heads within a circle of fourteen feet diameter. In the centre of the eight outer piles was a ninth pile, which was perpendicular, and a little larger than the others, being eight inches in diameter at the foot, and six inches at the top. The piles were secured and connected together at the top, at an ele- vation of sixty feet from the bed of the rock, by a cast iron cap, or spider, weighing five tons. These piles were also connected by cross braces. Below the pile heads, and en- closed within the piles, was a cellar or well-room for pro- visions, oil, &c. The keeper's house, above the spider, was octagonal in shape and fourteen feet in diameter, and upon the top of this was the lantern. The house and lantern were framed of iron. The entire height of the structure from the surface ot the rock to the top of the lantern was about seventy feet, and it towered up fifty feet above the line of high-water mark. The weight of the whole struc- ture was about seventy-four tons.
The light house was completed, as we have before stated, in the fall of 1849. Mr. Dunham, of West Bridgewater, was appointed keeper, with two assistants. But he soon became convinced that the situation was not an enviable one. The wind and waves shook the structure in an alarm- ing manner. Brief paragraphs found their way into the newspapers ^hich awakened the fears of many that the linhthouse would not stand. In the fall of 1850, Capt. Dunham resigned his post, from a feeling of insecurity, and from the meagreness of his salary ; and Mr. J. W. Bennett was appointed in his place. Mr. Bennett did not give credence to the stories of the insecurity of the lighthouse. But he was soon convinced that not half of the real facts had been given to the public. Two or three severe gales occurred during the wititer of 1850 which shook the struc- ture severely, and materially weakened it, carrying away nearly all the braces. Repeated representations of the dani»erous condition of the lighthouse were made, but the authorities were incredulous. Ou the 15th and 16th of April, 1851, a gale of more than usual severity prevailed on our coast, in which this lighthouse was swept away. Capt. Bennett, the keeper, was fortunately on shore at the time; but his two assistants, Joseph Wilson and Joseph Antonio, were lost in the light. The disaster occurred at
the height of the gale. The light was seen at 11 o'clock on the night of the 16th, and the fog-bell was heard to toll with more than usual quickness. At daylight the next morning, such of the fragments of the lighthouse as would float strewed the beach to leeward. The massive structure which man, in the pride of his power and self confidence, had placed to brave the fury of the elements, had vanished ; and the mad waves leaped and tumbled wildly and in seem- ing exultation over its site.
The destruction of the lighthouse made the rocks more dangerous than ever, and a light-boat was soon moored out- side of Minot's as a subst'tute. But the situation was too exposed for a light-boat, which, however, still gives warning to the mariner, although she has repeatedly been driven from her moorings. A petition was sent to Congress to rebuild the light, and an appropriation was made for build- ing a substantial granite structure upon the site of the pile lighthouse. The work was placed under the superintendence of Capt B. S. Alexander, and has already been in progress about three years ; although there are but few days in the year on which the workmen have been able to work on the rock, and then only for a few hours.
[From the Daily AdTertiser of Oct. 4, 1868.]
CONSECRATION OF THE MINOT'S LEDGE LIGHT- HOUSE.
On the invitation of Captain B. S. Alexander, under whose direction the work is going on, a party consisting of the City Government, a delegation from the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts Free Masons, and invited guests, number- intr in all about four hundred, went down the harbor on Saturday in the steamer " Nantasket," for the purpose of laying the corner-stone of the lighthouse to be erected on Minot's Ledge.
It was intended that the company should go upon the structure, which is already several feet above low-water mark, but the sea was so rough that it was found impossible. The " Nantasket " accordingly put about ; and, although Capt. Alexander soon came alongside in the government steamer, and urged the party to turn about and go back, she con- tinued on her way to Hull (where a telegraphic despatch was sent to the city for a special train of cars), and thence to Hingham. Being obliged to wait here for some time be- fore the train arrived, the party paid visits to the old church, builtin 1681, where" Old Hundred" and" Coronation" were sung, and to the old Lincoln family mansion. Embarking in the cars at half-past three o'clock, the party were soon con- veyed to Cohasset, where a procession was formed, headed by the Brigade Band, which marched to the yard in which the construction of the lighthouse is carried on, and where the ceremonies of the consecration were immediately begun.

Captain B. S. Alexander, of the United States corps of Engineers, was introduced by the Mayor, and spoke as follows : —
Mr. Mayor, — It gives me great pleasure to -welcome you, and all these gentlemen present, to the Rock which has been the scene of our labors. The history of this Kock is no common one ; it tells of shipwreck and disaster, of hairbreadth escapes, of suffering and woe. Standing like a watchful foe at the entrance to the harbor of Boston, to many of her sailors has it given the death-blow. The advance of science has taught man to convert such foe into a watch- tower, that may ever stand pointing upward to its own glorious light, sending far into the dim ocean's distance its rays of hope and warning to the mariner. A lighthouse of iron was erected here some years ago, whose fearful fate all may remember. Now again we are erecting a lighthouse here, but this time of granite, — granite piled on granite; granite to build upon, the earth's sub-structure ; granite en- grafted and dovetailed into the foundation; and granite the whole. To give even more stability to this structure, each stone is riveted with galvanized iron bolts, cemented into their sockets. So may it stand, that " they that go down to the sea in ships" may see this signal-fire burning brighily to warn them from the countless rocks that echo with the rage that oft swells the bosom of old ocean.
At the commencement of this work we had nothing but money : no workmen, no shore establishment, no workshop, no tools, no machinery, no boats, no organization. In one year these all started into life. Tuesday morning, the first day of July, 1855, just as the sun tipped the wings of the morning sea-gull as it took its swift flight over the wave, we struck our first blow on the Minot. The first year, 1855, we worked on it 130 hours; 185G, 157 hours; 1857, 130 hours and 21 minutes; 1858, to September 30, 208 hours ; making in all 625 hours, 21 minutes. At first the men were nervous with the natural fear incident to their seemingly dangerous situation ; but no accident ever befalling any of their number, and seeing every precaution taken for their safety, this fear was soon dispelled, and they worked as cheerily as on land. And you now see before you, gentle- men, the result of the labors of as fine a body of workmen as it has ever been my fortune to meet with.
Many reflections arise in our minds as we stand on this structure. Boston lights her streets with gas ; the United States Government, with protective care, lights our ocean highways not only for the benefit of the commerce of the Union, but for the commerce of the world ; and it is a re- flection worthy of this occasion to remember that it is our common government that has dotted our harbors with forti- cations, bristling with cannon ; that has built our navy yards and ships of war ; that can furnish you 300,000 stand
of arms in Massachusetts alone, giving you strength to bid defiance to the world ; and lastly, it is our glorious Union that erects this structure.
At the conclusion of Captain Alexander's remarks. His Honor, Mayor Lincoln, responded : —
Mr. Engineer, — In accordance with your courteous invitation, the City of Boston, represented by its official authorities, is present with you to-day to participate in those formal ceremonies with which, in conformity with a time- honored custom, you propose to inaugurate this great work. We rejoice in the opportunity thus afforded to express in behalf of the citizens of Boston their interest in this enter- prise, and their feelings of obligation to the national govern- ment, which, as the guardian of the commercial interests of the country, has taken cognizance of the perils awaiting the mariner in these waters, and has resolved to alle\-iate them at whatever cost. AVe would also bear our testimony to the zeal and energj', the consummate skill and unwearied pa- tience, which you and your associates have so far exhibited in the prosecution of the work. If it is your ambition to excel, no more honored triumph awaits any member of your profession than the successful consummation of the en- terprise which now engages your thoughts and demands your best services. We trust that you will succeed ; it will be an honor to yourself, to that class of practical men whose works testify to their worth, and to that department of government under whose orders you act.
Gentlemen of the City Council and Fellow- Citizens, — We have met to-day under peculiar circum- stances. The occasion which has called us together, and the place where we have assembled, have a novelty unparalleled in our municipal history. On a rock in the ocean, which has been a terror to many an anxious soul, we are quielly standing, and engaged in the consecration of a superstruc- ture which shall render this spot a signal of hope and safety rather than gloom and despair. The sighs which have mingled with the gales that have swept upon many a win- ter's night over those rocks tell a mournful story of the past; we rejoice now in the hope that the future has a brighter prospect. And though the storm may rage, and the elements lash themselves with fury on _^these breakers, yet the good ship with its gallant crew shall pass harmlessly on to its destined haven.
There is no structure of human skill more deserving of commendation than a lighthouse. Every one of them is a monument dedicated to the best feelings of our nature. They are the warning beacons to save the mariner from de- struction. They are the significant indices planted along the coast of the common brotherhood of man. These bene- fits are not enjoyed alone by the people on whose shores they stand ; but every one whose business is on the great
170

waters, of whatever clime or nation, is gladdened by their cheerful light, and guarded in a safe path in seasons of peril and doubt. The maritime nations of antiquity erected on their shores temples to the gods, from the roofs of which sac- rifices of fire were offered to appease the genius of the storm. AVe construct no temples dedicated to a heathen deity, but place along our borders sightly edifices tipped in the dark night with fire, which shall give the lost voyager a knowledge of his true situation, and thus enable him by the skill of modern seamanship to ride in safety superior to the elements ; for he is warned of the danger that awaits him. These works have called forth some of the most marvellous achievements of human skill and industry. The natural obstacles to their construction have often almost baffled the ingenuity and wisdom of the most distinguished of scientific men. No prouder trophies of man's victory over nature can be found than some works of this kind in the European world. The Eddystone Lighthouse, on the coast of Corn- wall, is the most remarkable structure of modern times. Notwithstanding the difficulty of its construction, it has been found so secure that it is said its keepers feel them- selves more safe within its walls in a gale of wind, than if they were on the neighboring coast. The Bell Rock Light, on the coast of Scotland, built by Robert Stephenson, is a work of equal magnitude; but it seems to be the destiny of our country to furnish the grandest achievement in this de- partment of art. The very spot upon which we stand, we trust, is to be immortalized by the greatest work of this character in the world. The national government is pledged to its success, and we have sufficient faith in the resources of the nation, and in the skill and indomitable energy of our engineer, to be assured that it will certainly be accom- plished. Its importance to the navigation interests of Bos- ton cannot be over-estimated. We have a harbor unsur- passed on the continent for its capacity and safety. Any measure which renders its approach less dangerous invites the mariner into its waters for shelter and business. The dreadful disasters and shipwrecks which have happened on this ledge have awakened the fears of the stoutest hearts. Happy is the omen of to-day, that such forebodings will dis- appear.
The erection of this edifice is a part of that great system of lighthouse illumination, organized a few years since, having for its object a complete and perfect cordon of lights all along the shores of our extended coast. Their benefits are not confined to the Atlantic States, but the whole coun- try reaps their advantages. By the system of internal im- provements, our railroads bring the interior into close proximity to the ocean. The revenues for the support of government are derived in a great measure from commerce. Self-interest, if not humanity, would justify the most liberal appropriation from Congress in its behalf The occasion
which has called us together is an evidence of the fact that the necessities of the case have been appreciated by the National Government ; and they have generally taken the measures to afford relief Something more remains to be done for the protection of our upper harbor. A bill has been reported, and now awaits the action of Congress ; and we connot but hope that it will meet wilh that success which its merits deserve.
Let this work go on and prosper. May it stand for many generations, a rich legacy from the present age to those who shall come after us 1 Long may it remain as a guide into a safe haven, and cheer the home-sick voyager as he approaches his native shore ! The labors of those who are engaged in its erection shall receive the benedictions of many who were ready to perish, and the sincere thanksgiving of grateful hearts, as long as its bright light shall loom over this vast horizon. Let us consecrate it with prayers to Almighty God, to Him " who ruleth the raging of the sea, and stilleth the waves thdreof," ■ — " whose dominion shall be from one sea to the other, and from the river unto the world's end." Without his blessing, all our labors are in vain. With that blessing may we not hope that this structure shall be like that house built by the wise man, " upon which the rain de- scended and the flood came, and the wind blew and beat upon it ; but it fell not, for it was founded upon a rock " ?
Rev. " Father " Taylor then oSered a fervent prayer, and at its close an appropriate ode, written for the occasion by W. W. Wheildon, Esq., editor of the " Bunker Hill Aurora," was sung by a trio of male voices.
Hon. John T. Heard, Grand Master of the Massachusetts Grand Lodge of Free Masons, conducted the masonic cere- monies according to, the prescribed formula. He also gave a catalogue of the number of occasions on which the fra- ternity had been called upon to officiate in the same manner, in the United States and Great Britain. He concluded his remarks with the following words : —
I congratulate you, Mr. Mayor, that the enlightened city over which you so happily preside, will enjoy so largely the economical and humane advantages to be derived from the establishment of a lighthouse on this, one of the most peril- ous localities upon these shores. Though the light here to be dispensed shall shine upon the flag of every nation that may visit these waters, yet no maritime port will reap its benefits to the same extent as that of Boston. Its naviga- tion interests, which contribute so extensively to the welfare of our country, and minister so much to the intercourse and civilization of the world, justly merit the protection and fostering care of the Federal Government by all the means it can legally exercise.
Dr. Winslow Lewis was then introduced by Mr. Heard, as " the worthy son of one who was for a long time, and
SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY.
171
most honorably, connected with the lighthouse service of the United States, and who was universally respected and esteemed by his fellow citizens."
Dr. Lewis replied : —
The allusion to the memory of my father in the address of the Grand Master will, I trust, serve as an apology for a very few remarks, not wholly inappropriate on this inter- esting occaaion. His connection with the Order of Free Masonry for nearly sixty yeais, h:s official relation to the Grand Lodge of this State, is known to the whole frater- nity. But here, on this spot, where we are called on as speculative masons to inaugurate the commencement of a magnificent Pharos, some few statements of his long con- tinued activity and devotion to the Lighthouse Depart- ment of the United States cannot be deemed wholly ir- relevant
For nearly half a century, he was connected in a greater or less degree with this establishment, extending ahmg our whole Atlantic coast, and on the shores of our mighty lakes. In the course of this long period, he was the contractor and builder of more than 200 lighthouses, and ever obtained the confidence of the U. S. government. He suggested, many years since, as the only feasible plan, that an edifice of stone should be erected, similar to this, which we now trust with confidence will bo successfully completed ; and he offered to contract for the same, for the sum of $250,000. He established the use of the lenses and parabolic reflectors which were in operation for so many years, until the brilliant discoveries of Fresnel again changed the mode of light, and the dioptric system was adopted in 1852. " The name of Leonore Fresnel," says a late work, " is classed with the greatest of those inventive minds which extend the boundaries of human knowledge ; and it will at the same time receive a place amongst those benefactors of the species who have converted their genius to the common good of mankind ; and, wherever maritime intercourse pre- vails, the solid advantages which his labors have procured will be felt and acknowledged." I therefore claim some humble tribute to the memory of a Boston merchant, for the services he has rendered the government and our mercantile interest, which will cause his name to be held in respect and veneration by all who have business on the great deep, and trust his name will long be remembered and associated with whatever is true and excellent in man, long after all the almost countless beacons which he has erected to warn the approaching mariner of his danger shall have crumbled into dust.
The commencement of a great work like this should have the befitting accompaniments for public ceremonial. It is proper that the city fathers of Boston should give their presence, and utter their congratulations that a grand
monument of science and general utility is to be placed near the commercial metropolis of New England, long we trust to direct a prosperous marine to a flourishing and happy city ; that perfected science shall from this spot enable the anxious mariner to behold this warning beacon at a distance of thirty miles lit up by an apparatus than which, says the Encyclopedia Britannica, " there is no work of art more beautiful or more creditable to the boldness, intelligence, and zeal of the artist, — while all that decorated the noble structure of the Eddystone at its completion was a feeble light from tallow candles."
I contTatulate my friend, the supervisor and director, on the success thus far attendant on his zeal, activity, and scientific judgment, so long and so well displayed in his laborious task. Being for two years a resident on the shore nearest this scene of his labor, and after having the privi- lege of standing on this rock and sharing with him and his fellow-laborers, at least their unwished fur ablutions, I can render my testimony to the dangers encountered and per- severance manifested in the incipiency of this peculiar task.
The Eddystone Rock, on the coast of Cornwall, is 20 feet high from low-water mark. Bell Rock, in Scotland, has a large stony base. Tfte lighthouse on the Skerryvore Rocks, in Argj-leshire, has abase of 42 feet. But here the space is exceedingly limited, the edges of the ledge very ii regular, and could only be cut at very low tides and with a smooth sea. Robert Stevenson had the great advantage, in the erection of Bell Rock Light, of placing near it a wooden barrack, and Allan Stevenson the same, while constructing the Skerryvore Light. Here no such aid could be obtained. The very slow progress of their work shows its difficulties. Eddystone was finished in two years. Bell Rock in two years and three months, and the Skerryvore in about the same period. The Minot's Ledge Lighthouse was commenced in 1855, and may be completed in two years from this time. No delays have interrupted its progress but those which have arisen from its formidable position, and all that indom- itable will could effect heis been done.
For all that he has so ably done, Capt. Alexander will deserve and receive the approbation of all. May its com- pletion be as successful as its commencement ! Though the storms may come, the tempests blow, may it prove that its foundation is not only on a rock, but on the firm basis which science and art have unitedly combined to produce ! Long may it stand, a proud monument of the perseverance, liberality, philanthropy, and artistic skill of the United States, and the sagacity of an enlightened and judicious government I
Hon. Edward Everett was then called upon by the Mayor, and responded nearly as follows : —
172
SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY,
Mr. Mayor, Captain Alexander, Fellow Citizens : — I am greatly indebted to you for this kind reception, and I esteem it a piece of good fortune to have been permitted, by His Honor the Mayor, to be present on an occasion so interesting and important. The Mayor, however, is fully aware, that I have not come with any formal speech, fit to follow the gentlemen whose carefully prepared and eloquent addresses have furnished so much pleasure and instruction to the company. I can only offer you the unstudied assurance of my cordial sympathy ; and that in a few words. The hour is speeding; the great eclipsing light of the heaven, after illuminating this hemisphere, has already sunk behind those western hills. His parting smile lingers upon them, but he has gone to kindle another portion of his circuit into life and light while the dusky shadows of evening steal over us.
We have had a pleasant though somewhat " promiscuous " day ; and I for one, Mr. Mayor, am not sorry to stand again on terra firma. I thought for a while, when you had us down in the outer harbor, that you had been learning a lesson from the sinking of the Atlantic telegraph ; that, as they had laid that at the bottom of the sea, you were for laying the corner stone of your lighthouse below low-water mark. However greatly approving the enterprise, I must own myself too much of a landsman to have co-operated very efficiently in the undertaking ; and I rather inferred, from the grave looks and long faces of several of our friends, that I was not alone in that disability. But we are once more on good firm land, and I think the most of us feel the better for the change of element.
We have come, sir, to express our interest in a great public work. Well do I remember that dreadful night, the 16th of April, 1851, when a furious storm swept along the coast of New England, by which houses were unroofed, steeples toppled down, and vessels driven on shore. In the course of that tremendous night, the lighthouse on Minot's Ledge disappeared. It was last seen at Z\ o'clock in the afternoon ; and, between that hour and daylight the following morning, the ocean, driven in by the furious tempest, had heaved the lighthouse from the nine iron pillars on which it rested, and which it twisted like osiers, — had dashed it in fragments on the rocks, and with it the two brave men, who, in that awful hour, stood bravely at their posts. We have come now, sir, to repair the desolations of that hour, and to lay the corner-stone of a structure destined by that divine blessing which has been so fervently invoked by the reverend chaplain to resist the utmost violence of the winds and the waves.
It is a point second to no other on our coast, both for the amount of the commerce which passes it. North and South, to its destined markets, and for the perils which here await the mariner. If Minot's Ledge could keep a Minot's
ledger, in which the value of every cargo that passes it in either direction could be entered, and in which — on another page — could be recorded the fearful apprehensions and heart-broken lamentations of anxious and bereaved mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters, sorrowing for the delay of the loved ones, destined many of them never to return, it would furnish an illustration of the importance of a lighthouse on these mournfully notorious rocks, which would need no comment of mine.
It is a work of interest for other reasons, to which you, sir [Captain Alexander], have so pertinently alluded. We are assembled here to-day, not as citizens of Massachusetts, but as citizens of the United States. The lighthouse is for the more immediate benefit of the commerce of Massachu- setts, but the expense is borne by the general government. The appropriations for its construction have been passed by the concurrent votes of representatives from the remotest parts of the Union. As the lighthouses off Cape Hatteras, on the Florida reef, and at the mouths of the Mississippi, have been erected by the votes of your representatives, and proportionably by the resources which you have furnished to the common treasury, so the noble and expensive struc- ture whose corner-stone is now laid will be built with the concurrence and aid of your fellow-citizens who inhabit portions of the Union which the sun does not reach the same hour that he shines on you. In fact, it WdS primarily for the commerce of the country, and all the works and measures requisite for its growth and protection, that the Constitution of the United States was framed, and the pre- sent government established.
But you are not alone promoting the interests of our own vast country, in erecting this noble structure. As has been well stated by the gentleman who has preceded me, it is for the common benefit of the nations. The light which you kindle, you kindle not to guide your own vessels alone. The vessels of the friendly provinces on the North, from which we are happy to see a most respectable gentleman present on this occasion (Hon. Joseph Howe, of Halifax), and the vessels of the neighboring republic on the South, whose late President (Gen. Comonfort) also honors us with his presence, will equally share the benefit. Nay, sir, it will extend lo the remotest regions of the civilized world from which a ship shall go forth to navigate our waters.
But I must not detain you, Mr. Mayor and gentlemen, at this late hour. Let me close by responding to the patriotic sentiment of Captain Alexander. As the costly and im- portant structure whose erection he has so auspiciously com- menced, has been founded and carried on under the auspices of the government of the Union, let it prove a symbol of that Union's duration and solidity. Owing so much of our prosperity to it, let us warmly cherish and sup- port it. Let us remember that in the event of its rupture, —

which Heaven and its mercy avert ! — the protecting power ■which now spreads its Eegis over us, East and West, North and South, will be for ever gone ; and as you have told us, sir, that the solid foundations of the structure you are rearing are linked and bolted together with dove-tailed blocks of granite and bars of galvanized iron, so as never to be moved, so may the sister States of the Union be for ever bound together by the stronger ties of common language, kindred blood, and mutual affection.
Addresses were also made by Hon. Linus B. Comins, member of Congress from the fourth district ; Col. C. R. Train, of the Executive Council ; and Hon. B. C. Clark.
The exercises were concluded by a benediction, pro- nounced by Rev. E. M. P. Welis.
Among the distinguished gentlemen present, besides those mentioned above, were Ex-President Comonfort, of Mexico ; Hon. Messrs. A. H. Rice and J. V. C. Smith, of Boston ; and many others.
At half-past six, the company took the cars for home, where they arrived at nine o'clock, after an hour's detention at Hingham.
The work on Minot's Ledge Lighthouse has now risen to the height of thirty-eight feet above the original rock, and is yet to go sixty feet higher. It is constructed of heavy blocks of granite, each dovetailed into the other, in each course, laid in cement and bolted together with heavy iron bolts. The courses are two feet in thickness ; and, up to the height of forty feet, the work is to be perfectly solid, with a heavy iron post in the centre, firmly imbedded in the original rock below. Above the forty feet, where the di- ameter will be about twenty-seven feet, are to be six apart- ments, one above the other, with a lantern twelve feet in height surmounting the whole. Its appearance is and will be hereafter that of an immense granite post, in mid-ocean, sustaining its lantern on its lop. The lighthouse, it is expected, will be finished during the year 18G0.
THE FRESNEL LIGHT.
From the Illustrated Magazine of the last Exhibition under the direction of the Massachusetts Charitable Me- chanic Association, we fake the following description of the Fresnel Light, written by Hon. Joseph M. Wightman : —
This magnificent feature of the Exhibition is in the centre of the Rotunda in Quincy Hall.
The Association are indebted to the Lighthouse Board, at Washington, for the loan of this apparatus, which is to be erected on the coast of Maine, soon after the close of the Exhibition.
They also, with great courtesy, authorized Captain Wm. B. Frankhn, of the U. S. Topographical Engineers, who has charge of the erection of lighthouses in this section, to grant its use for this occasion, and to make all the necessary arrangements for its erection in the Hall.
Of this Light there are two kinds, viz., the Fixed and the Revolving. There are also six sizes, called " Orders," varying from two feet to fifteen feet in height, the larger being designated as the first order. The difference in the construction of the two kinds is in the central belt of glass. In the Fixed Light, this is in the form of a convex belt, or zone, which is of the same form entirely round the light ; while, in the Revolving Light, this curved belt is ground into a series of separate lenses, the effect of which is to give, when rotated, a flashing appearance to the light, by which a pilot is enabled to di^tinguish one lighthouse from
174
SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY,
another. Red and other colored glasses are also introduced for the same purpose.
Our engraving represents the form and construction of a Revolving Light, in vphich the peculiar belt of distinct lenses is shown, and also the wheel-work which causes the whole apparatus to revolve and produce the flashing. The omission of these lenses and the rotating apparatus would represent the Fixed Light on exhibition, and which we will now proceed to describe.
In size this is of the Second Order, and is about five feet in diameter, and twelve feet in height. In the centre, firmly secured to the base, is a large lamp, on the " Carcel" principle, having three concentric wicks, of one, two, and three inches diameter, with a space between each wick for a current of air, which promotes combustion, prevents smoking, and renders the flame clear and brilliant. The oil is contained in a reservoir about one foot below the wicks, and is pumped up to the flame bj four small dia- phragm pumps which are operated by clock-work and the descent of a weight through the pillar under the centre of the apparatus. This weight is about fifty pounds, and is wound up by the lighthouse keeper. The flame is in the centre of the principal belt of glass, in which the lenses are represented ; and this, with all the subordinate prism-cut belts of glass above and below it, combines to so refract and reflect the light of the lamp as to throw out a flat ring of light, equally intense in every direction. All the light being thus, as it were, condensed into a flat ring as wide as the glass portion of the apparatus is high, is immeasurably superior in its effects to any arrangement of parabolic reflectors. For, however perfect the metallic reflectors may be made, the loss of light by absorption and other causes is
very great ; whereas, the triangular glass prisms of this apparatus produce a total reflection, — the inner face of the prism refracting, the second totally reflecting, and the third or outer face a second time refracting, so as to cause the light to emerge in parallel and horizontal lines.
This beautiful system of illumination was invented in France by M. Fresnel, in 1819 ; and, when we consider the mathematical accuracy with which every curve and every angle of the glasses must be cut, each belt of prisms re- quiring to be cut with difierent angles according to their position and distance above or below the centre of the flame, we cannot but regard its construction as a wonderful triumph of genius and optical science. Nor is it more remarkable for its perfect adaptation to its purpose, than from the fact that it left the hands of its inventor at once so perfect in all its details, that experience has suggested no material improvements or alterations in its original construction.
From the great labor and care required in the construc- tion of the Fresnel apparatus, it is necessarily expensive ; the value of the one now on exhibition, although only of the Second Order, being about ten thousand dollars : but we are gratified to state, that, with a due appreciation of its advantages and merits, our government are actively engaged in placing this light in the various lighthouses on our coast. Several of them have been already located in our bay and harbor, and one of the First Order is now being placed in the Gay Head Lighthouse, on Cape Cod.
In the accompanying engraving is shown the lantern or frame of glass which encloses and protects the illuminating apparatus from the wind and weather. This is of the usual form ; being a circular structure of iron, with the sides of plate glass, through which the light is transmitted.
THE SEASHORE, AND THE YICINITY OF EOSTON.
The vicinity of Boston presents a succession of the most beautiful and variegated scenery ; interspersed with towns and villages, in which the wealth, industry, intelli- gence, comfort, harmony, and general happiness of the in- habitants is probably unsurpassed by any equal number of people, spread over an equal surface, on the face of the globe. In a brief sketch like this, it is impossible to more than glance at the numerous beauties and conveniences so liberally distributed around our favored city.
WAYS AND CONVEYANCES.
For an enumeration of the multiplied ways and convey- ances in and out of Boston, the reader is referred to the
Business Directory which follows, under the head of Trans- portation. The Public Houses are given under the head of Public Houses in the Business Directory. The Bridges and Ferries are delineated on the map.
Proceeding over the Eastern Railroad, you have the beautiful and picturesque town of Lynn, with its splendid view from High Rock, presenting a panorama unsurpassed in the country, except by that from the dome of the State House in Boston ; embracing the interesting peninsula of Nahant, with its extensive beaches, and other various natural curiosities. Next comes Salem, a beautiful and quiet city, one of whose chief attractions for strangers is its East India Marine Hall, containing a museum of curiosities

probably unsurpassed in America. Crossing the North River by an extensive bridge, you come to Beverly, and, by a branch, to IManchester and Gloucester, along whose picturesque and lovely shores many of the wealthy inhabitants of Boston have, wiihin a few years, erected beautiful summer residences. A branch from Salem con- veys you to Marblehead, the birthplace of Elbridge Gerry, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. From this town projects the beautiful peninsula of Mana- taug, surpassed in its local attractions only by those of Na- hant. Another branch, from Salem, conveys the traveller to the flourishing town of Danvers, the birthplace of Gene- ral Israel Putnam, of revolutionary memory, and of Hon. Daniel P. King.
The Maine Railroad furnishes access to Charlestown, our wedlthy sister city, which can never cease to be interesting so long as Bunker Hill and its Monument of national pride shall continue to tower above the surrounding waters. The United States Navy Yard at this place is also an object of attraction. Beyond are Somerville ; Maiden, with its lovely villages, Melrose and Wyoming ; Stoneham, South Reading, and Reading, with their delightful ponds and groves, around which many business men of Boston are fast fi.\ing their abodes.
Between these railroads, a ferry conveys its passengers to Winnissimmet and Chelsea, — where the lovers of fine scenery may regale themselves with an extensive and variegated view from the summit of Powderhorn Hill, 220 feet in elevation.
The Lowell Railroad furnishes access to Medford, South Woburn, and Woburn, with their enchanting ponds and delightful retreats ; while beyond lie the rich meadows and fertile farms of Burlington and Wilmington. A branch of the Maine Railroad also connects with Sledford.
On the Filclihurg Railroad, we pass to Old Cambridge, ever memorable for its University, the oldest in the United States. Here is a house, once the residence of General Washington ; here is Fresh Pond, furnishing ice in winter, and coolness and verdure in summer ; and here is Mount Auburn, hallowed by the memories of the best and the loveliest in the land. Beyond are Watertown, where is the United States Arsenal; Waliham, with its splendid villas; and Weston and Lincoln, with their quiet scenery. On this route, too, is Old Concord, the Thermopylae of America, where a daring few breasted the power of the greatest empire on earth. From this railroad, also, we branch off to Lexington, the sister of Concord, who boldly
sustained her share of the dangers and glories of that event- ful day.
The Worcester Railroad. — Within the past year, a branch road has been opened from the Worcester road to the beautiful town of Biookline. This town is famed for its many splendid cottages and residences, mostly the abodes of gentlemen retired from active business. Brookline affords one of the pleasantest rides anywhere in the vicinity of Boston. The roads are good, and lined with many beauti- ful hedges and rows of towering elms. After leaving the Brookline branch, the road passes through Brighton, the site of the annual Cattle Fair, of Winshlp's beautiful gar- dens ; and Newton, the ancient Nonantimi, with its pictur- esque falls on the Charles River. Beyond are the towns of Needham and Natick, the " Place of Hills," memorable as a favorite residence of the Nipmuc Indians, into whose expressive language the Rev, John Eliot translated the whole of the Bible. It is In the towns of Natick, Wayland, and Framingham, that Lake Cochituate, or Long Pond, is situated, whence originates the Boston Aqueduct
The Providence Railroad carries us to Roxbury, the birth- place of Gen. Joseph Warren ; and, by a branch, to Ded- ham, the scene of the commencement of King Philip's war, in 1675, and the birthplace of Fisher Ames. These towns are favorite resorts for the merchants and other business men of Boston, many of whom have therein pleasant and convenient cottages and villas.
The Old Colony Railroad takes us to Dorchester, an old and beautiful town ; to IMIlton, by a bi-anch, where are the Blue Hills, towering more than 700 feet In height, where the first paper-mill in New England was erected, and where Gov. Hutchinson, the historian of Massachusetts, had his abode. It also conveys us to Quincy, famous for Its granite, and for giving two presidents to the United States. Finally, It conveys us to Plymouth, first in our historical recollections.
Branching off from the Old Colony Railroad, the South Sliore Railroad takes us to HIngham and Cohasset, whence by easy conveyances we reach the Glades, or the Xanfasket Beach. This beach is some five miles long, and should be visited by all lovers of ocean grandeur.
The fine steamer " Nantasket " plies between the city and Hingham, stopping at Hull, also a pleasant resort. Her landing in Boston Is at Liverpool Wharf
The steamer " Nelly Baker " plies between Long '\VLarf, Boston, and Nahant, giving a very pleasant trip in the hai'bor.

THE NAVY YARD.
CHA-RLESTOWN.
The United States Navy Yard occupies nearly sixty acres in the northeastern partof Charles- town, facing the Mystic River and Boston Harbor. The Navy Yard is enclosed on the north
by a wall of durable masonry. The enclosure embraces a
handsome dwelling-house for the Commandant, and several
arsenals, magazines, rope-walks, warehouses, ship-houses,
and a capacious dry dock.
The Dry Dock is worthy the attention of every visitor to
the city. This great work was begun in the year 1827-8.
It was built of hewn granite, and is of the following
dimensions : —
Ft In.
From the outside of wing walls to the water walls.... 5 9
Thence to the beginning of napes for turning gates.... 21 3
Topointof mitre sill 21 8
To line of heelposts of turning gates 14 0
To gutter (the bottom and side walls being curved)... 18 0
To face of return walls 4 0
To centre of semicircular head of dock 206 0
To head of dock, within the coping 43 0
To extreme end of backing at head 7 3
Total 340 11
The whole stone work in the dock amounts to about 500,000 cubic feet. This stone was quarried at Quincy.
The frigate Constitution was the first vessel that entered the Dry Dock for repairs. This took place on the 24th of June, 1833.
The following public vessels have been built at this station : —
Vermont, 74 guns, in 1848; Virginia, 74 guns ; Indepen- dence, 54 guns, in 1314 ; Cumberland, frigate, 44 guns, in 1842 ; Warren, sloop of war, 20 guns, in 1826 ; Falmouth, sloop of war, 20 guns, in 1827 ; Cyane, 20 guns, in 183 7 ; Plymouth, sloop of war, 20 guns, in 1843; Marion, sloop
of war, 16 guns, in 1839 ; Porpoise, brig, 10 guns, in 183G ; Bainbridge, brig, 10 guns, in 1842.
The seventy-four-gun ship Virginia is yet on the stocks. The old frigate Constitution was launched in October, 1797, at the Union wharf (now termed May's wharf), Boston.
All the above-named vessels of war are now in the naval service. Others have been built at this Yard, at various periods, but are no longer in service.
MOUNT AUBURN CEMETERY.
CAMBRIDGE.
A visit to Mount Auburn is one of the indispensables to a stranger sojourning in or near Boston ; and few places pre- sent, within an equal space, either to citizens or strangers, a more varied combination of elements to attract attention and awaken thought. It was the first rural cemetery of any magnitude in the country. The spot was selected by one thoroughly alive to the beauties of nature, and neither care nor expense has been spared in the efforts to enhance its great natural advantages.
Mount Auburn originally comprised an area of 72 acres. Two additional purchases have enlarged it to 1 26 J acres. It was consecrated in the year 1825. The address on that occasion was delivered by the late Hon. Judge Story, then President of the Society ; and prayers were offered by the late Rev. Dr. Henry Ware and Rev. John Pierpont, with an impressive hymn by tbe latter. The first interment was the body of the venerable Hannah Adams, deceased Dec. 15, 1831, aged 76 years. Among the earliest, was the lamented Dr. Spurzheim.
The Gateway is on the road from Old Cambridge lo Watertown, at the distance of about 4 miles from Boston. Cars run from the station in Bowdoin Square every fifteen minutes during the day, and till 11^ o'clock in the evening.
FOREST HILLS CEMETERY.
WEST ROXBUKY.
In the season of verdure and flowers few more agreeable drives can be found in the vicinity of Boston than through the streets and avenues that lead to this cemetery, in the neighboring city of Ro.xbury. There are beautiful views in every direction from the elevated grounds. But from no direction is the cemetery noticeable at any distance, except perhaps on the southeastern side. It is shut out from the world, a calm retreat, though near the rapid tide of life.
SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY
177
The main entrance to the cemetery is reached from the highway, Scarborough Street. The carriage-way is through an Egyptian portico, copied from an ancient portico at Gar- sery on the upper Nile. Upon the outer architrave of the gate-way is inscribed, " Though 1 walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I will fear no evil." On the interior architrave are the words, " I am the Kesurreetion and the Life. Consecrated June 28, 1848."
The south-eastern entrance is from Canterbury Street, through a gateway similar to that on the southern side. The scenery in this vicinity is of the most rural kind. There is a broad plain, or intervale, lying between the Blue Hills on the one side, and the range of which Forest Hills compose a part on the other, showing well-cultivated farms, waving fields extending up to the woodland at the base of the Blue Hills, and here and there unassuming farm-houses and generous barns ; while in the distance, just seen over the woods, is one of the villages of Milton. The open and cultivated portion of the cemetery grounds extends down to and forms a part of this intervale ; and, when it shall be laid out and improved, it will form one of the most attractive and beautiful sections of the cemetery. It is well
23
worth more than a passing glance to behold from the rising ground on this side the charming landscape which is here spread out, especially when the morning or evening sun throws lengthened shadows on the plain. Shut in by the dark background of the Blue Hills, and the woods and emi- nences on either side, it is a picture of peace and quiet rural life such as is seldom seen in such close proximity to the metropolis.
On the south-easterly side the cemetery grounds do not extend to any public street, but an avenue thirty-three feet wide is laid out from Walk Hill Street to the boundary of the cemetery, where there is an entrance through a gate supported by Egyptian piers. This avenue is shaded on each side by thickly growing evergreens, and from it the visitor enters at once upon one of the most beautiful parts of the cemetery.
From the main entrance three avenues diverge towards different parts of the cemetery, — that on the right, however, being designed to open into lands which have not yet been added to the grounds. Chestnut Avenue, which leads to the left, passes over a gentle elevation, and thence through the vale of Lake Dell towards Consecration Hill. On the
178
SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY.
right hand of this avenue, before reaching Lake Dell, rises a rocky eminence, called Suowflake Cliff, from a beautiful wild plant which grows at its base. This cliff is steep and craggy on the northern side, and is thickly covered with trees and underwood; but on the southern side, where some beautiful burial lots have been laid out, the ascent is quite easy.
Lake Dell is a natural pool thickly overshadowed by trees which grow from its banks. On either side an avenue is
laid out ; and from these the wooded hills risf, enclosing a most quiet and beautiful dell, suggt-sting th« name of the pond. A receiving-tomb is placed in this locality.
From the eastern end of Lake Dell, Magnolia Avenue leads to the summit of Consecration Hill, which rises in an angle of the cemetery, and touches its northern and eastern boundaries. As its name indicates, the consecration services were performed here, at the foot of its southern slope, while the audience were ranged upon the hill-side. Consecration

Hill is one of the highest of the Forest Hills, and from its summit is a beautiful prospect. Through the vistas of the trees there are charming views of the Blue Hills and the intervening valley, and in other directions of hills and plains, of farm-houses, villas, and coitages, ivith here and there a church spire rising above the distant woods. It has been suggested, that, ■when the funds of the cemetery should permit it, a durable stone tower might be erected here.
Following to Rock Maple Avenue, the visitor is led from the eastern end of Lake Dell around the base of Mount Warren, which rises on the riglit, for the most part regularly but steeply, with here and there large boulders protruding above the surface. The side of Mount Warren is clothed with a thick growth of wood ; and this avenue, in the after- noon especially, lies in deep shadow under the foliage. Curving around the foot of the hill, it is a pleasant approach to some of the more attractive spots in the cemetery, and leads directly to the pleasant dell at the foot of Mount Dearborn and Fountain Hill. In this dell there is a little nook, which seems almost a grotto under the overhanging foliage of trees and shrubs that grow on the precipitous sides of Fountain Hill. The deep shadows seem to spread a refreshing coolness around, and invite one to rest on the garden-seats, which are disposed on one side, while on the other is a rustic fountain, — a natural spring, over which is erected a covering of rough stones. The stones are clothed with lichens, and in the interstices are planted moss, brakes.
and other wild plants, the whole forming a pretty rustic monu- ment. On the upper stone is fixed a bronze plate bearing the following words, by which the refreshing waters of the spring utter a lesson, which, perhaps, is not always unheeded by those who linger about this beautiful spot : " Whosoever drinketh of this water wiU thirst again ; but the water that I shall give will be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."
From the Fountain Dell a steep path (Sweet Brier) leads up the southern side of IMount Dearborn, and then up its more gentle western slope to the top. As seen from the plaia on the west side of the hill, it appears to be only a slight elevation, but it rises to a considerable height above the low land on the opposite side. On the summit is the monument erected by his friends and fellow-citizens as a tribute to the memory of Gen. Dearborn, who with untirincr devotion originally laid out the cemetery grounds, and developed and increased their beauty. It is an elegant Corinthian column, of white marble, on a base which ex- tends by scrolls on each side to smaller pedestals bearing funeral urns. The shaft is of convex flutings, the capital is elaborately and well wrought, and is surmounted by a funeral urn with flame. On the front of the base is a raised tablet inscribed as follows . " H. A. S. Dearborn, Obiit Julii 29, 1851, .^Itat 67." On the opposite side, in a panel, is the brief but expressive Latin inscription, " Ossa in terra quam dilexit, coluit, ornavit, cives et amici moerentes condimus"

SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY,
At the foot of Mount Dearborn, on a little path to the right of the ascent to the Dearborn Monument, is a little memorial to Mercy L. Doane, consisting of a head and foot stone connected by a mound enclosed with ■wire baskets work. The whole is exceedingly chaste and appropriate. Upon the headstone is sculptured an angel with clasped hands, and a Bible, with two paragraphs from the Scriptures. The footstone, in the form of a scroll, bears names and dates.
From the dell which divides Mount Dearborn from Mount AVarren, an avenue leads by a somewhat steep ascent to the top of the latter, which is, in fact, rather table-land than a hill. A more pleasing approach to it is from the main entrance, by Locust Avenue to Mount Warren Avenue. This hill has become one of the most beautiful and attractive portions of the cemetery ; nearly all of its surface, except the
steep slopes on the north and east, being laid out in burial lots, and tastefully embellished. On the summit of Mount Warren is the burial lot of the Warren family. The ashes of General Warren, with others of the family, have recently been taken from their original resting-place, deposited in urns, and re-interred in this lot ; so that these grounds are in fact the shrine which contains the sacred remains.
On one side of this lot is a stone bearing the name of Dwight. It is a marble block, on the front of which is a beautiful alto-relievo of Christ blessing little children, — wrought in Rome by an Italian artist. On the reverse is a cypher and inscription.

On Grape Path, seen northerly from Mount Warren Avenue, will be noticed the beautiful figure here repre- sented. The pedestal bears this inscription : " I am the Resurrection and the Life." " Because I live, ye shall Hvh.
also."
One of the most picturesque groups of rocks is on the lot of General William H. Sumner, called Sumner Hill, on the western slope of Mount Warren. They have not suffered by the hand of art, and the lot is one of the most beautiful and appropriate in the whole cemetery.
SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY.
181
On Pine Avenue is a large and beautiful lot, bearing the name of Perkins. The lot is enclosed by a hedge of arbor-vitse, within which are walks and flower borders ; and in the rear, under the rook which forms the back part of the lot, and shaded by evergreens, is a secluded nook for a chair. The centre of the lot is again enclosed by an iron paling, within which is a monument of polished granite. It consists of a massive base, or pedestal, on two sides of which, in basso relievo, are winged heads surrounded with clouds, and on another side an inscription. The base is heavily moulded, and is admirably wrought. On it stands a large, plain cross. The design is simple, but elegant and costly ; and in point of taste and execution this monument is excelled by none in the cemetery.
On the west of Mount Wairr^n the ground falls away as far as the cemetery fence, and beyond ; and a dell is here formed which will some time be a beautiful part of the grounds. Clematis Path now leads through the upper portion of it up to the plain towards the Eliot Hills. At the back of the lots which front on one side of this path, there is a terrace of rough stone-work, in the interstices of which are planted brakes and other wild plants, with moss, which give it a rustic finish and beauty.
The Eliot Hills, which take their name from the Apostle Eliot, are four eminences in the southwestern part of the cemetery; or, more correctly, there is but one hill, having small ridges or undulations near its summit. A large part
of this hill is of rocky formation, and was somewhat rough and unpromising in its original aspect for cemetery purposes. But it has changed to a most attractive spot, and some of the most finished and beautiful lots have been laid out upon its sides. From some of its shady paths you can look out over the garden-like grounds of the plain or gentle slope below ; but there is no extensive prospect, except from the northern side, where a pleasant view opens towards Brook- line, and through a narrow vista far away to Cambridge and the hills beyond.
The summit of this hill is of solid rock. Here it is pro- posed to erect a monument to commemorate the virtues and labors of the devoted Eliot, who, for nearly six years, was the pastor of the First Church in Roxbury, who with so much of self-sacrifice and untiring energy sought to civilize and Christianize the savage, and who bo truly earned the noble title of " Apostle to the Indians."
On Narcissus Path, on the lot of C. Whitmore, is a massive pedestal with the broken shaft: of a column. On one side of the pedestal is a harp with severed strings, and the other faces bear inscriptions.

On Wabon Path is an elegant monument, Tvhicli, on ac- count of its position, being raised above the lots on White Oak Avenue by a walled terrace, attracts the eye at some distance. It is in the lot of Samuel Guild, and bears simply the name in deeply-cut letters. It is a white marble sarco- phagus with a wreath of ivy on the top, and oak leaves bending over the verge. On the same lot is a scroll bearing the name of Samuel Guild, Jr.
'as:
Near this, on White Oak Avenue, in the lot of N. P. Lov- ering, is a fine piece of sculpture, one of the most beautiful monuments in the cemetery. It is the statue of a child re-
clining as if asleep, its head resting upon one arm. The expression of the face is very sweet, and the posture easy and natural. It was executed in Italy, and is such a piece of work as too seldom adorns our burial-places. On the base are the words, " She is not dead, but sleepeth." The monument is erected over the grave of a beloved child.
Towards the Walk Hill entrance, in a small triangular lot, is the figure of a Newfoundland dog, well executed in red sand-stone. He lies as if watching. On the base is the name of Barnard.
On Cherry Avenue is a massive granite obelisk, bearing the name of Thomas Sinclair. It is a plain but elegant monument, finely wrought Cherry Avenue brings the

visitor to the top of Fountain Hill, named from the spring at its hase, before alluded to. Here is located the Commis- sioners' office On the side of the Fountain Dell this hill is very ))recipitou9, and thickly covered with trees and under- wood. The eastern and southeastern slopes are quite steep, but much less rugged and precipitous Down its sides paths lead to Fountain Dell, and towards Lake Hibiscus, which can be seen gleaming through the foliage Towards the south a path of more gentle descent, overlooking the lake, leads down to the grounds in the vicinity of the Field of Maohpelah. For a portion of the distance the outer side of this path is supported by a rough wall, through which abor- vitas and other trees have been made to grow, the roots being planted below the wall. These trees, when they shall attain a larger growth, will add much to the picturesque beauty of this hill-side. The prospect from Fountain Hill is not very extensive ; but on the south you can catch glimpses of a pleasant landscape, and there are on the op- posite side views of beautiful spots in the cemetery grounds, down the gentle slope towards the Eliot Hills, and on Mount Dearborn.

On this avenue is also the elegant monument of Jonathan French. It is of white marble, and is highly finished with
Gothic ornaments. The pedestal has a richly sculptured cornice, and in front is a shield with scroll-work, at the bot- tom of which are branches of oak with leaves and acorns ; at the corners are inverted torches. On the pedestal rests an arched tablet or block, with Gothic panels and crockets. It is surmounted by an urn, diaped and wreathed with flowers. The whole is elaborately and elegantly wrought, and the monument is one of the finest in the cemetery.
At the corner of Hemlock and Cherry Avenues, in the lot of John H. Gray, is a large marble shield, ornamented with scroll-work, leaves, and poppy-flowers ; and there is also a scroll on which lies a wreath of roses, in marble.
Towards the west this hill extends out into a table land or rather a ridge, which slopes very gently down to the foot of Eliot Hills. The southern side of this ridge has been built up with a wall of rough stone-work, which forms a terrace extending from Fountain Hill nearly to the southern entrance of the cemetery. Along this terrace there is a beautiful prospect towards the south, looking directly over the Field of Machpelah to the hills and woods which stretch away to the Blue Eange.
Cypress Hill, which is the first elevation on the open por- tion of the cemetery, immediately overlooks the quiet plain of " Canterbury," and a portion of the neighboring ceme- tery of Mount Hope. Here a large enclosure has been selected for the Boston Firemen, which is to be adorned with a monument worthy of the Department.

Lake Hibiscus, already an attractive feature, promises to be one of the chief beauties of Forest Hills. It lies a short distance east of Fountain Hill, and is approached by ave- nues from different parts of the cemetery. This pond is excavated in what was formerly a meadow, supplied with copious springs of water.
On Fountain Avenue, nearly midway between Lake Hibiscus and the Field of Machpelah, is a beautiful monument. On a hand- some marble pedestal is a small statue of a female weeping over an urn wreathed with flowers, and beside which lies a funeral torch. The posture of the figure and the expression are very good, and the work is well executed. On the pe- destal are graven the words, " My Husband and Child." It was erected by Mrs. J. L. Loveland. One of the attractive features at Forest Hills is the pro- fusion of flowers which bloom in some parts of it, making it in truth a garden cemetery. In most of the borders at- tached to the lots there are flowers in more or less abund- dance ; besides which there are numerous triangles formed by the intersection of avenues or paths, and other spots not quite adapted to burial lots, which are prepared as flower borders, or are planted with various flowering shrubs. Then, again, within many of the lots affection has planted beautiful flowers over the grave ; so that the bloom of the
garden may be considered as one of the characteristics of the grounds, a beauty which meets the eye on all sides, and lends a peculiar charm to the place.
The gentlemen whose names are appended are the pre- sent Board of Commissioners, viz., — Alvah Kittredge, Francis C. Head, Jonathan French, William J. Reynolds, Linus B. Comins.
The grounds of Forest Hills embrace 104 adres, 1 quar- ter, and 6 rods, which cost $36,894.67.
A finely descriptive volume of 240 pages illustrated, en- titled " Forest Hills Cemetery," may be obtained at this office (16 Devonshire Street). It contains a narrative of the establishment of the cemetery, of the consecration, with the eloquent Address by Rev. Dr. Putnam, a map, &c. Those interested in the cemetery should secure a copy before it goes out of print. Price seventy-five cents.
Visitors from Boston take the cars at the Providence Railroad Station in Pleasant Street, near the foot of the Common, for Forest Hills Station. An omnibus also con- nects with the cars of the Metropolitan Railroad, for Forest Hills, twice a day. .
MOUNT HOPE CEMETERY.
This cemetery is situated in Dorchester and West Ro.x- bury. It was formerly owned by a corporation, who retained it seven or eight years, without making much progress in the way of improvement. It was finally sold to the City of Boston for $35,000, — the whole lot consisting of about eighty-five acres. Part of this is open, cleared land, undu-

lating and pleasantly disposed ; and the remainder, at the time of the city's purchase, was rocky, uneven, and covered with a good growth of cedar and pine. Most of the grading has been done in the latter part, and with great taste and success. The stone, being wholly granite, is easily blasted, and works to excellent advantage in constructing the walls enclosing the whole lot, and in forming beds for the paths. Without these handy quarries the requisite improvements could not be made, unless at a far greater expense. All the good trees are retained which can be, while the young of other varieties, especially of maple, are judiciously trans- planted. The grading seems to be of the most thorough character ; while, as to plan, Mr. Haggerston consults the face of Nature, instead of trying to dictate to her with pencil and paper. The result is, — not only more available ground is saved, but there is a more harmonious arrange- ment of every thing, as if the walks, the lots, and the newly planted trees were only what Nature would have done, if she had seen fit to do any thing more.
One hundred and fifty lots have been graded, and one- third of the number sold. Five thousand trees have been set out by the front wall, three rows deep, and along several of the avenues. These trees are now in vigorous and pro- mising growth. Hereafter it is proposed to set out two rows of trees on the outside of the front wall. An elegant gateway of granite and iron has been erected at an expense of S2900. Upon each of the massive posts at the entrance is sculptured the appropriate emblematical figure of an inverted torch. Near the westerly extremity of the ceme- tery, close by the margin of a beautiful pine forest, excava- tions are in progress, with the view of converting a portion of this surface into a pond. Several copious springs in the locality make the project entirely feasible, and when the plan is carried out it will prove a dehghtful addition to the attractions of the cemetery.
Communication with Mount Hope is cheap and con- venient. The trustees have arranged with the Metropolitan Railroad Company to run cars twice a day in connection with omnibuses from Jamaica Plain. The fii-st car leaves Boston daily, at 9 A. M., and the second at 2 P. M. Coaches to connect with the metropolitan cars leave Mount Hope at half-past 12, and at half-past 5 o'clock, daily. The fare each way is fifteen cents, and the route affords a cheap and delightful excursion to any one.
WOODLAWN CEMETERY.
Woodlawn Cemetery is about four miles north of Boston, and two miles from Chelsea. An omnibus for Woodlawn start^s from Brattle Street, Boston, every fair day in sum- mer (Sundays excepted), at two o'clock, P. M. It returns
24
from the cemetery at five o'clock, P. M., and is at present connected with the Chelsea omnibus.
The best mode of reaching Woodlawn now is to cross over the Chelsea Bridge or Chelsea Ferry, and, after con- tinuing in the main street for a quarter of a mile, to turn off to the left into Washington Avenue, which leads directly to the cemetery.
This cemetery is destined to occupy a high place among the rural beauties of the country.
SUBURBAN DRIVES.
The environs of Boston abound in pleasant roads for a drive out of town. Brookline, Jamaica Pond, the heights of Roxbury, and Dorchester, present attractions of natural and cultivated scenery, with fine residences interspersed, wliich is equalled in few places, if indeed it be in any. The village of Dedham, located by the side of Charles River, ten miles from Boston, is adorned with lofty rows of elms, that impart an enchanting effect to its quiet streets and squares. Shawmut Avenue, extending from Boston to Dedham, is the only avenue from the city not encumbered with a railway track.

ROUTES TO THE WHITE MOUNTAINS.
One of our most esteemed fellow-citizens, in a communi- cation which we publish to-day, gives a graphic account of a visit to the summit of Mount Washington, which he made some forty years ago in company with other well-known citi- zens. This interesting narrative contrasts strongly with the accounts which our editorial brethren are giving of their recent ascension. Compared with the difficulties which were experienced fortj' years ago in reaching the summit of Mount AVashington, or even in travelling through the mountain region, the journey and the ascent are now very easy. There is now no difficulty worth mentioning. Then there was no well-trodden path to the summit, and the mountain itself could be approached only after a toilsome journey through the woods. The first bridle path to Mount Washington was cut in 1821, since the visit of our corres-. pondent; and it is only at a comparatively recent period that a bridle path has been made to the summit. Neither- of the present paths present any serious difficulties. Tr^es have been felled, overhanging branches lopped off, and th© rough places made smooth, until now the fatigue of con- tinuous climbing up, up, up, is the only hardship which is encountered; and even this is obviated by taking one of the sure-footed luountain ponies.
It is only within the last fifteen or twenty years that the White Mountains have become a popular place of summer

resort. Visited, it is true, they have been fjr more than half a century ; but the mountain region was comparatively little known to the pleasure-seeking public until within the time we have mentioned. Probably no one circumstance contributed in a greater degree to direct the steps of sum- mer tourists to these mountains than the letters which were written by Capt. John S. Sleeper, the former editor of the "Journal " (now Mayor of Roxbury), and published in the columns of this paper during the summers of 1839 and 1840, if we recollect aright. Capt. Sleeper is an enthusiastic lover of the mountains, as well as an ardent disciple of Izaak Walton. His letters gave graphic pictures of almost all the natural curiosities which have since become famous, and introduced to the public the Crawfords, father and son, who have become scarcely less noted as the pioneers of the mountains. The first engraving of the greatest natural curiosity in this part of the country, the Old Man of the Mountains, in Franconia Notch, was given in these let- ters, — at least we have no knowledge of the publication of a portrait of the massive features of this guardian genius of the mountains before that period. The setting of the tide of summer travel towards the AVliIte Mountains dates from the publication of Capt. Sleeper's letters, and it hjs been steadily increasing, and must continue to increase in future years.
But it was our purpose in this article merely to give a brief view of the different routes to the 'WTnte Mountains, in answer to questions often propounded to us, and for the benefit of the tourist to that region. There are four princi- pal approaches to the mountains, viz., by way of Gorham, Lake Winnipiseogee, Plymouth, and Littleton.
1. The Gorham Koute. The tourist from Boston pro- ceeds to Portland, by the Eastern or Boston and Maine Railroad, or by steamboat, and takes the cars on the Atlantic and St. Lawrence Railroad; reaching Gorham, if he leaves Boston in the morning, by 5 o'clock P. M. He is here on the northerly side, and in view of the White Mountain ran^e, and can stop at the Alpine House, or take stage to (be Glen House at the very base of Mount Washington, a distance of eight miles. From the Glen House he can ascend Mount Washington by a bridle path over the route of the much-talkcd-of carriage road, — an enterprise which proved a complete failure. There is much fine scenery and many objects of interest in the vicinity of the Glen and Alpine Houses. Continuing his journey, the tourist takes the sta"e down the Pinkham Notch and valley of the Ellis River to its junction with the Saco, and up the latter river to the AVhite Mountain Notch. The distance from the Glen House to the Crawford House, at the northern gate of the notch, is thirty-six and three-quarters miles. From Gorham the distance is forty-four and three-quarters miles. From the White Mountain Notch, he shou'd proceed to the Franconia
Notch, twenty-six and a half miles further, returning by Plymouth or Littleton.
2. The Lake Route. Tourists by this route take the cars of the Boston and Maine or the Lowell Railroad to Con- cord, N. H. ; thence over the Boston, Concord, and Montreal Railroad to the Wiers, situated upon Lake Winnipiseogee, where a pretty steamer, the " Lady of the Lake," is in readiness to take them to Centre Harbor, affording a fine view of the most delightful lake scenery in America. Din- ner is served on board the boat, or tourists can wait until they reach Centre Harbor, where there is an excellent hotel, the Senter House, overlooking the lake, kept by Messrs. Gilman & Huntress. We should advise our fi lends to tarry here a day at least, and visit Red Hill. But those whose time is limited can take stages to Conway, the gate of the mountain region, distant from Centre Harbor thirty miles, where they stop for the night ; and thence by stage through the White Mountain Notch to the Crawford House, mentioned in route number one, distance thirty-three miles. There is another route over the lake, by the way of the Boston and Maine and Cocheco Railroads, to Alton Bay, and thence by steamer.
The tourist by either of the above routes, after reaching the White Mountain Notch, can stop at Gibbs's Crawford House, — oratBrabrook's \Vhite Mountain House, a well-kept hotel, four and three-quarters miles beyond, — and ascend Mount Washington by the old bridle path over lllounts Clinton, Pleasant, Franklin, and Monroe, or be conveyed in wagons over the new carriage road. The distance by the former road is nine miles, and this is by far the most pleasant route for those who can endure the fatigue of a long ride in the saddle. By the new road, which starts from a point near the site of the old Fabyan Hotel, the ascent can be made in carriages to within a mile and three- quarters of the summit, whence a bridle path makes the remainder of the journey comparatively easy. This is the easiest route to the top of Mount Washington.
3. The Plymouth Route. Passengers by this route pro- ceed as in route number two, but without stopping at the Wiers, to Plymouth, N. H., where they arrive at about one o'clock. Here they dine at the Pemigewasset House, after which they take stages for Franconia Notch. The distance to the Flume House, at the entrance of Franconia Notch, from Plymouth, is twenty-four miles. The ride up the valley of the Pemigewasset is one of the most charming which can be enjoyed in the mountain region. The Flume House is delightfully situated, and commands a view of the valley for a distance of twenty miles. Proceeding through the Franconia Notch five miles further, we come to the Profile House, which is probably the best-kept public house in the mountains.
4. The Littleton Route. Tourists by this route proceed
SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY.
187
as in routes two and three, but again taking the cars after having dined at Plymouth, continue over the Boston Con- cord, and Montreal Railroad to \VeIls River, and thence over the White Mountains Railroad to Littleton, which they reach at about 5 o'clock P. M. After supper at the Union or at the White Mountain House, stages start for Franconia Notch, a distance of twelve miles, or for the White Mountain Notch, distant eighteen miles. Littleton may also be reached by the Northern and Passumpsic Rail- roads, the time occupied on the route, and the fare, being the same as by the Boston, Concord, and Montreal; but, the distance being greater, passengers who take this route do not have time to dine.
Each of the routes mentioned has its advantages and dis- advantages. If the tourist has time for a long trip, he can see the most of the mountain region by entering it at Gor- ham, and proceeding by stage through the Dixville Notch and White Mountain Notch to the Franconia Notch, and home by way of Littleton or Plymouth. But this route does not include a trip upon Lake Wmnipiseog'e, without which a tour to the mountains would be incomplete. Hence many prefer route number two, entering the mountain region by way of Lake Winnipiseogee, Centre Harbor, and Conway, and proceedmg through the White Mountain Notch to Franconia Notch ; returning by way of Plymouth or Lit- tleton. This is the favorite route for those who.^e time is limited, and is the one which we should recommend to those who wish to see the principal points of interest in the moun- tains without caring to visit every part. We can scarcely imagine a finer trip than route number two. The third and fourth routes are very pleasant ones, and embrace much beautiful and grand scenery. The third is the shortest and most direct route to the western side of the mountain region ; and the fourth, though longer, is less fatiguing, there
being less staging. But there are some advantages in entering the mountain from ihe soulhern or eastern side. The tourist obtains bettor views of the scenery, and hence the current of travel generally sets towards rather than from Franconia and Littleton.
A very pleasant trip for those who lack the time or means to see the AVhite Mountains proper, is that mentioned in route three. The Franconia Notch is the most beautiful portion of the mountain region; and in its vicinity the tourist finds the greatest natural curiosities, including the Old Man of the Mountains, Echo Lake, the Flume, the Pool, &c. There are two first-rato hotels at the Franconia Notch, the Profile and the Flume House ; the former kept by Hiram Bell, and the latter by A. P. Dunton Here many days might be spent to advantage From this point the visitor may ascend Mount Lafayette, the view from which many consider to be superior to that from Mount Washington, on account of the comparative isolation of Lafayette.
No one need be afraid of sta^ng in the mountains. Bet ter teams or more careful drivers are not to be found in the United States. Daily lines are run between all the principal points, and there is every facility for making speedy and safe trips. Although the roads are rough and hilly, accidents are unknown, the powerful breaks holdinc the wagons and coaches even on the most steep acclivities. The magnificent scenery of the whole region amply repays the fatigue of stage travel.
No one should go to the mountains without a copy of the " White Mountain Guide," recently published by Edson C. Eastman, of Concord. A new map of the mountain region, made from actual surveys, is invaluable to the White Moun- tain tourist. It gives a topographical view of the whole region. Published by Crosby, Nichols, & Co.

MASSACHUSETTS, AND HER BUSINESS RESOURCES.
BT OTIS CLAPP, Esa.
The State of Massachusetts has long been regarded as the manufacturing district of the Union. Her geographical position, the habits and character of her population, fit them in a peculiar manner for a manufacturing and com- mercial people.
After the passage o. tne tariff act m 1816, which was against the wishes of Massachusetts, some of her energetic
citizens turned their attention to manufacturing; and, from that time to the present, manufacturing in its various branches has been constantly and regularly extending, until the annual aggregate value of the productions of the State is rising of three hundred millions of dollars.
The State has collected and published Its industrial statistics on three occasions. The first was in 1837, which then exhibited
An annual production of ^86,282,616
In 1845, the annual production was 124,749,457
In 1855, " " " " 295,820,681
The last return makes a volume of 672 pages, and has

been recently printed. It shows an increase in ten years of 138 per cent. Althoiigli the amount returned may seem large, it is apparent that it is much too small, for the reason that many articles are omitted, and others underrated. The reason assigned by the Secretary of the Commonwealth for underrating is the impression of an " intimate connection " between answers to questions and the " assessment of taxes." For these reasons the Secretary, under whose directions the statistics were compiled, says : " Had those branches which were overlooked been included in the returns, and honest and truthful answers obtained in all cases to the questions proposed, I am fully persuaded, that, instead of $295,000,000, we should have had an aggregate of at least $350,000,000, or considerable over $1,000,000 per day for every workingday in the year."
The following table will show the amount of production in each of the several counties : —
Barnstable $3,092,442.11
Berkshire 12,756,264.99
Bristol 29,328,374.18

Suffolk 48,188,956.32
■Worcester, 40,719,627.78
Total, ^295,820,681.79
The largest branch of industry in the State is that engaged in the manufacture of Boots and Shoes. The amount returned is $37,489,923. We are assured by some of the oldest and most experienced dealers that the amount would reach at least $50,000,000. It extends into every county in the State. Nearly twelve million pairs of boots, and over thirty-three million pairs of shoes, were manufactured ; ■which gave employment to 67,827 hands, 32,826 of whom were females.
The next branch in importance is Cotton, which amounts to upwards of $20,000,000. The investments are $31,961,- 000, and the number of hands employed 34,787, of whom 22,850 are females. This does not include C.\i,ico, which is valued at $5,143,000 in addition.
The following list embraces thirty-six of the most im- portant branches, and will serve to show, to some extent, the variety and amount of the manufacturing industry of the State, viz. : —

Of 41,364,224 gallons of whiskey and high wines returned, but 120,000 gallons, about one-thirty-fifth part, is made In Massachusetts ; but in the manufacture of rum she has the questionable honor of standing at the head of the list, having made 3,786,000 gallons, out of 6,500,500, or considerably more than one-heilf.
The value of the Churches In the United States is $89,983,028. Those in Massachusetts $10,504.88, or about one-eighth part.
The accommodations in Massachusetts are for 695,183, or 89 to each square mile.
The average value of churches In the United States Is S2,357, while the average in Massachusetts Is $7,112. Average accommodations in United States 376 persons, In Massachusetts 471.
The receipts for Postage In the United States the last year were $6,294,791, of which $532,184 were In Massa- chusetts, or about one-twelfth part. Her rank among the States is No. 3 ; New York being first, and Pennsylvania second. The receipts In Pennsylvania are only $51,000 more than In Massachusetts.

The above relates mainly to the productive industry of the State of Massachusetts. A very large proportion of these productions, as well as those of the other New Eng- land States, concentrate in and find their natural outlet from Boston. Boston is thus the business centre for a large proportion of the manufactures of New England.
This is shown by the fact stated in the last Report of the Board of Trade, that the value of domestic cotton manu- factures disposed of in Boston in 1855, by first hands, was $46,700,000.
The value of domestic manufactured Woollens disposed of in Boston in 1855 was $22,000,000, making a total of the two of $68,700,000.

SKETCHES OF BOSTON AND VICINITY,
The amount of the Cotton and Woollen production of Massachusetts for 1850 has been given above, but this con- tains but a portion of what is owned and controlled on Bos- ton account.
In the census for 1850 the Cotton manufacture is thus set down : —

From this it appears that considerable more than one-half the Cotton manufactures and investments are in New Eng- land, and at least one-half of the whole are on Boston account.
The Woollen manufactures show a similar result. In 1850 there were in the

These facts will show that Boston is the business centre for at least one-half of the domestic manufactured Woollens of the country.
Boston is the great market for Boots and Shoes in the United States, and it is believed more are sold here than in any other city in the world. A large amount are manu- factured on Boston account in Maine, Now Hampshire, and Vermont.
The wholesale Clothing business of Boston now gives employment to near 50,000 persons, and the annual pro- duction is estimated at $12,000,000.
The wholesale Furniture business of Boston for 1855 is estimated at $4,500,000.
The wholesale Grocery business for the same period was $25,000,000.
The importation and sale of Medicines, Paints, and Dye Stuffs, were $14,000,000.
The consumption and exports of Ice amount to about 200,000 tons annually.
The sales of India Rubber Goods amounted in 1855 to $2,200,000
Of Glass, to over $2,000,000.
The Bookselling and Publishing business amounted to $5,500,000.
The last Report of the Boston Board of Trade, from which many of the above facts are taken, makes the follow- ing remarks with regard to Dry Goods, which are equally applicable to other branches : —
" The statistics of the Dry Goods importing and jobbing trade show clearly that this important branch of business is decidedly on the increase in this city, from year to year ; not in the number of new houses, however, so much as in the amount done by those already established. Tliis branch of trade has secured such an amount of capital and talent, as to place Boston upon a permanent basis, as one of the best distributive points on the sea-coast, for foreign as well as domestic fabrics. It certainly is not to be wondered at I No city has superior facilities for the importation of foreign goods, and no other one has equal opportunities for obtaining its supply of American manufactures ; and when we consider how large a portion of the dry goods consumed in the country is of American production, the great advan- tages concentrated here for making our city an extensive market for the sale of dry goods generally will readily appear. The great and growing States of the West are seeing it, and turning their attention more and more every year to Boston for supplies. Our dry goods trade with the West has doubled in the last three years, quadnipled in the last five, and is twenty-fold greater than it was ten years ago ; and instead of being overlooked and neglected now, as it used to be, is become well known and highly appreciated."
Ship-building has been carried on largely in Boston.
The number of vessels launched in Boston and vicinity in 1855 was 44. Tonnage, 45,!)88 tons.
In addition to this, there were on the stocks at the close of the year, 22 vessels, measuring 27,877 tons.
The amount invested in ships belonging to the district is between $20,000,000 and $25,000,000.
The long-voyage trade is largely in the hands of Boston merchants. Out of 175 ships which arrived in the United States in 1854, from beyond the Cape of Good Hope, 105 arrived in Boston; and, out of 154 which arrived in 1855, 86 came into Boston, 7 into Salem, and 54 into New York. Of the 54 which arrived in New York, 14 from China were owned in Boston. Of 76 vessels which arrived from Calcutta, 66 came to Boston.

THE STEAM FLEET OF BOSTON.
The number of steamsliips formiDg regular lines of com- munication bfatween Boston and other ports in the United States and British-American Provinces has now become so great, that it may not be amiss to present some account of the various lines, and the steamers which compose them.
With southern ports our communication is now frequent and quite thorough.
To Savannah, Ga., the side-wheel steamship " Joseph Whitney," Capt. Winslow Loveland, makes two trips a month ; connecting there with the Georgia Central and numerous other railroads to all parts of the South and South- west. This steamer is owned by the Merchants' and Min- ers' Transportation Company (described below). Capt. Erastus Sampson, at the foot of Central Wharf, is the Bos- ton agent ; and Messrs. Crane & GraybiU are the agents at Savannah. The " Joseph Whitney " will leave this port on Monday afternoon.
To Charleston, S. C, we have now a first-class line of large screw steamers, one of which will leave each port every ten days. They are the " South Carolina," Capt. R. A. Baxter, and " Massachusetts," Capt. F. A. Sampson, built in this city, by Harrison Loring. The former has made a successful trip out and back, and left this port again on Thurs- day evening. The " Massachusetts " will start upon her first trip on Monday, 23d inst. These steamers are owned by the Boston and Southern Steamship Company, which was incorporated by the last Legislature. The greater portion of the stock is held in this city. E. S. Tobey, Esq., is President. Messrs. Phineas Sprague & Co. are the agents here, and John W. Caldwell & Son are the Charles- ton agents. From Charleston, freight is forwarded to all points by the South Carolina Railroad, and by steamers to Florida and Havana.
To Norfolk, Va., and Baltimore, Md., run three side- wheel steamers of the Merchants' and Miners' Transporta- tion Company, of which Thomas C. Jenkins of Baltimore is President. The stock is held in Baltimore and Boston, the larger proportion in the former city. The vessels now constituting the line are the new iron steamships " Benj. Deford," Capt. W. A. Hallett, and " S. R. Spaulding," Capt. S. Howes ; and the wooden steamship " William Jenkins " (mate to the Joseph Whitney), Capt. G. H. Hallett The last-named has just been taken off to receive a new boiler, at Wilmington, Del., but will resume her place about the first of September. One of the other two leaves Boston every Saturday, — stopping at Norfolk to land passengers and
freight for ports on the James River, or to be forwarded by railroad to North Carolina, Tennessee, &c., and then pro- ceeds to Baltimore, where direct connection is made with the Baltimore and Ohio RailroaJ for all points at the West and Southwest. This is a favorite route for passengers in the summer months. The " Benj. Deford " leaves the foot of Central Wharf at 4, p. M., to-day. Capt. Erastus Samp- son is agent in Boston, A. L. Hugginsin Baltimore, and John Williams, Jr., at Norfolk.
The Philadelphia and Boston Steamship Line was the pioneer of the southern lines from this port; having been established in March, 1852. The proprietors were Messrs. Phineas Sprague & Co., Sprague, Soule, & Co., and Henry Winsor; and Ihe first steamships were the " City of New York " and the " City of Boston." The former has recently been transferred to a new line to Virginia, and the latter has been sold to the United States Government. The line now consists of the " Phineas Sprague " (980 tons), Capt. Matthews ; the " Cambridge" (850 tons), Capt. Howes; and the "Kensington" (1050 tons), Capt. Baker, — all screw steamers. One steamship leaves every five days. The "Phineas Sprague " sails from hence this afternoon. The agents of this line are Messrs. Sprague, Soule, & Co. in this city, and Henry Winsor in Philadelphia.
The steamer " City of New York " has been running to Norfolk and City Point, Va. ; connecting at the latter place with lighters for Richmond. The people of Richmond were backward in extending their patronage to the vessel, apparently disappointed because there was not water enough in the river to allow her to go up to their city. She has now been chartered to the United States Government, to take the Commissoner upon the reciprocity treaty on a voyage to the British Provinces, but will probably resume her trips to Virginia in September. Messrs. P. Sprague & Co. are her agents in Boston.
Before another year rolls round, we shall doubtless have a line of steamships in operation to New Orleans. The Union Steamship Company was incorporated a year ago, with a capital of $400,000, for the purpose of establishing a fine of steamships between a " port or ports in this Com- monwealth and New Orleans, or any port or ports in the Gulf of Mexico." A bill passed the last Legislature, in- creasing the capital to $700,000, and authorizing the steam- ships of the company '■ to touch at, and ply to and from, any port or ports in Cuba," and the ports before author- ized. The company has been organized with Mr. James

Lawrence as President ; and' the company have, through their committee, prepared specifications and plans for two steamers. The steamers are to be screw propellers, and two splendid boats, or more, will inaugurate the line.
To New York, we have no direct steam lines ; the freight being mostly sent to Providence, Fall River, Stonington, or Norwich, and forwarded thence by steamboat. There are one or two lines of sailing vessels to New York ; and, if the canal across Cape Cod shall ever be completed, we may expect to see a direct line of steamers to New York.
Going East, we have several steam lines, as follows : —
The Portland Steam Packet Company, whereof Charles Fobes, of Portland, is President, employs three steam- boats,— the " Lewiston," " Montreal," and " Forest City." One of these is kept as a spare boat, and one of the others leaves Boston and Portland every evening at 7 o'clock (ex- cept Saturday and Sunday) ; making connections with the Grand Trunk Railroad for all parts of Canada and the West. William Weeks, at the end of Central Wharf, is the Boston agent.
The propeller " C. W. Dexter " makes three trips a month from this port to Gardiner, Hallowell, and Augusta, Me. ; leaving Boston on the 5th, 15th, and 25th of each month. She is owned by parties in Augusta. She leaves Boston to-day. Stinson & Co., 150 State Street, are her agents.
To Hallowell and intermediate ports is now running the steamer " State of Maine," of the New York and Fall River line, which has been chartered by the owners of the Ken- nebec line, to take the place of the " Eastern Queen," which was destroyed by fire a few months ago. The " State of Maine " has been running between this city and the Kenne- bec since April 1 5. The " Eastern Queen " had been run- ning about two years. The line was established in 1836, and is owned by private individuals in this city and on the Kennebec. The steamerj touch at Bath, Richmoad, Gar- diner, and Hallowell.
The steamer " Menemon Sanford," which runs to Bangor and intermediate ports, is owned in New York by the family of the late Menemon Sanford, for whom she is named. Her burthen is 950 tons. She has been running for six years between Boston and Bangor, and is under the command of Capt. Edward H. Sanford. She stops at Rockland, Camden, Belfast, Searsport, Bucksport, Winter- port, and Hampden.
There is a regular semi-weekly communication between Boston" and St. John, N. B., the steamers the " Eastern City " and " Admiral " stopping at Eastport and Portland, Me., on their trips each way. They also connect at St. John with a steamer for Windsor, from whence a railroad runs to Halifax. One steamer leaves each port every Monday and Thursday.
The screw steamer " Eastern State," owned in Yarmouth, N.S., leaves this city every other Tuesday for Yarmouth and Halifax. She connects at Halifax with a steamer for St. John's, N. F., touching at Sydney, Cape Breton ; and every four weeks with a steamer for Bermuda.
All the steamers to which we have alluded above are doing a very good business ; and there is every prospect that our steam fleet will steadily and constantly increase.
Besides the movements of these steamers, other steamers, ferry and tug boats, are constantly plying about in our harbor, giving animation to the scene as viewed from any of the wharves. The favorite steamer " Nelly Baker " makes three trips a day to Nahant, stopping at Long Island, and carrying large numbers of passengers, who wish to flee from the heat and noise of the city. Steamers run also daily to Hingham, Hull, and Gloucester. The ferry-boats running to East Boston and Chelsea keep the waters agi- tated ; and numerous tug-boats, from the " R. B. Forbes " down (ten in all), are constantly plying about, lending their aid to the winged messengers of commerce.

THE OLD ELM TREE ON BOSTON COMMON.
Dr. N. B. Shurtlefif contributes to the ^feoston Journal the following account of the great dm blown I down on Boston common in tho storm of Friday night :
The gale struck the venerable old- elm tree with such force as to cause the northerly half of its lar^e branches to burst the iron bands which for years have bound them to the trunk, and fall to the ground, car- rying a portion of the trunk with them. i
There is not a native Bostoniatf who will not de- plore the loss of this tree. It is associated with the sports of childhood, and is as familiaf to the sight as the dome of the State House, It has grown up witH Boston from its earliest infancy, and seems as much a part of it as the very peninsula upop which the city is founded. It is a tree which has a history, which is concisely related by our felloe-citizen. Dr. Nathaniel B. Shurtleff, in the following interesting sketch, prepared at our request :
It is not often that an occurrence.of such small im.» portanco as the destruction of a tree will cause so much sorrow and regret as will the dismemberment of the great tree of the Boston common, which event occurred yesterday, the twenty-ninth day of June, at about 6i o'clock in the evening. During the after- noon the appearance of the heavens indicated a storm of no ordinary character — and indeed it came, and few will ever forget it, for the injury it has done.
The great fall of water, together with an uncommon gust of wind, broke down the limbs of many trees throughout the city, not even sparing those of Pad- dock's Mall, which had so recently escaped the threatening axe. The great tree, the pride of Bos- tonians, and perhaps the most noted of its kind on the continent, suffered with the others; and, after standing for centuries, the oldest of the traditionary relics of the days of our forefathers, was in a few moments shorn of it-s beauty and its magnificent pro- portions, to linger out, it is feared, a few years long- er, a maimed and displeasing existence, the evidence orJy of the violence of the storm which has destroyed it.
Much has been said and written about this noted elm, the product of our own indigenous forests. It has had its rivals; among which has been the far- famed elm of Piltsfield, remarkable for its gigantic height,and for having a trunk one hundred aud four- teen feet high below its first branch"; and tho Aspin- wall elm in Erookline, famous for its enormous and wide-spreading roots, and for the great size of its trunk. But both of these, also, have been shorn of their glory by storms that have passed harmlessly by the Boston elm.
Although the tree attained a great age, and an un- common size, it was more for its beautiful propor- tions aad graceful limbs, than for age or size, that it gaJLed its notoriety among those who had paid par- ticular attention to the trees. But the tree has ^ associations connected with its history i^ich will . always keep it in remembrance. During the revolu- l tionary struggles of America this tree was one of the [ places of constant resort of the Sons of Liberty, who I frequently caused it to be illuminated with lanterns [ on evenings of rejoicing and on festal occasions; and .i.it also served the purpose of exhibitions of popular
T feeling and indignation, for many has been- the tory '< who has been hung in effigy from its branches. Very near this tree occurred the first duel in Boston, be-: tween Benjamin AVoodbridge and Houry P.hilUps, so, graphically described by Mr. Sargent in his "Deal- ings with the Dead ;" and beneath its brdijches have been enacted many a scene &f youthful valor, in days ^that have been long past, on the holidays of election and independence. ; ■ •
It would be difficult to affix to the tree even an ap- proximate age. It' has been known as far back as [tradition can go, and is represented on the oldest I map of the town known to exist. It is reasonable to !. .Relieve that it was growing before the first settle- .t^toent of the peninsula. Ittthe year 1S65 it wasacbu-
rafely measured by the cily engineer, who recorded" the following dimensions: " Height, 72i feet ; height of first branch from the ground, 16i feet ; girth one foot above the ground, 22^ feet ; girth four foot above the ground, 17 feet ; average diameter of greatest eii- ! tent of branches, 101 feet." Earlier measurements ■ show that the tree continued to grow as long as it stood. The latest measurement, taken by the writer last spring, gave 24 feet girth at the ground, 18 feet, 3 inches at three feet, and 16 feet 6 inches at five feet — showing an increase of only about five inches in girth in sixteen years. ^ . i • *- a a o

tions of the fallen limbs, to preserve among the choicest of the relics of olden time.
The late Dr. John C. Warren, formerly president of the Boston Society of Natural History, published in 1855, for circulation among his friends, a small quarto volume, describing the elm, in which he says that there is nothing iaiprobable in the belief that it is more than two hundred years old. He says ':
" But, as it was certainly the Groat Tree in 1729 and 1722, we may indulge the belief, that it sprung up previous to the settlement of Boston ; that it cast it« protecting shade over the heads of our earliest American ancestors ; and that even the native inhab- itant of the soil enjoyed the protection of its wide- spreading branches.
"This tree, therefore, we must venerate as a visible relic of the Indian Shawmut ; for all its other native trees and groves have been long siuce prostrated ; the frail and transient memorials of the aborigines have vanished ; even the bills of Trimouutain cannot bo distinguished j and this native noble elm remains to present a substantial associatioH of the existing with the former ages of Boston."

FonT Independence, in Boston Haebor. Mr. Editor : A paragraph in the Transcript a few cvcniags biiicc, mectiouing the action ol Mayor Wightman in regard to the "Defence of Boston," calls to mind the efforts of the early ia- haWtants who labored so assiduously for the same end. Beliering that some account of their labors wilt pi'ove interesting at this time, I send you a brief sketch of the successive fortifications erected on Castle Island, ■where Fort Independence now stands. The material^ for this sketch were gath- ered with uo Uttle pains from a great variety of authoiitics, and the statements may be verified by consulting the recoids of the General Court.
I often wonder why the antiquarians of Boston have never turned tlteir attention to this subject' Many years ago, a writer in Silliman's Journal gave the world an account of the "Forts and For- tifications around Boston," and described with much care the difierent earthworks thrown up in this vicinity during the Revolutionary period; but scarcely a dozen lines have ever been written directly upon the subject before us. A volume gr-eater in interest and importance than many of those published by the Historical Society could be composed of materials which are every year becoming more inaccessible. Who will uuder- itake this work? u. F. D,
Charkstown, Aug. 28, 1861.
CASTLE ISLASD FROM 1633 TO 1W5.
The first movement toward the fortification of Boston harbor was made in the year 1033. About thai time the citizens fearing some act of hostili- ty on the part of Cardiual Kichelieu, it was thought expedient to build a fort at Nantasket Point. Accordingly, on the twenty-first of Feb- ruary, Governor Winthrop went down to that place, accompanied by a party of gentlemen, including "three ministers," for the purpose of layibg out the plan. On the third day after their dcpdrture they returned and reported the project useless. The Governor and his party were de- tained there two nights by a heavy gale, and slept in a hovel on some straw puUcd from the thatch, ckicg out their scanty rations with a "poor kind of muscle." But though there was no immedialo cause for alarm, and as Hubbard the historian tells t!s, they were "more afraid \ than hurt," it v.as decided by the Genera! Court on the fourth of Jlarch following to fortify the island now known as Castle Island, and oiders were issued to build a fort "40 fibote long and 21 ifoote wide."
Jvly2dlh. The Governor and Conn cil, attend- ed by tlie ubiquitous "Ministers," visited the island and prepared everything for the work, ad- ding to the plan two "platforms" for heavy guns.
Sept. 'Jd. The records of the court show anoth- er order to build a platform on the northeast side of the island, and "a house to defend it." This first structure was of mud. No great progress however, could have been made in the work, as ! on March the fourth of the following year, orders ' were issued to "finish the castle," and authority vested in the constables to press men for that ser- vice. The clergy took great interest in the pro- ject, and the Kev. Mr. Wilson, according to John- son's Wonder-working Providence, "gave bounti- fully for this wilderness work" (1000 pounds.)
The scanty records inform us that Captain
Simpkins was the lirst coimnanner. "Atter mm came one Gibbon, who in the year 1635 was suc- ceeded by Lieut. Morrison.
January 12, 1637. At this early day the fortifi- cation had so far fallen to decay that the authori- ties deemed it useless to be at any further ex- pense, and ordered the munitions of war collect- ed there to be sold. On the second of May fol- lowing the Court officially gave notice that no further liability would be iucnrred, but added that if any private parties saw fit to rebuild the de- fences they were at hbcrty to do so. A mouth later, however, seeing a disposition on the part of many inhabitants of Boston and vicinity to take some action, the Court receded so far .".s to appro- priate one hundred pounds for repairs. Accord- ingly the guns were soon in working order again, and on tlie twentieth of June, while the gunners were at practice, an unlucky shot cut down an "honest passenger" standing on the deck of a ship coming up the harbor.
The next January two hundred and fifty pounds additional were voted for the Castle, and Captain Sedgwick was appointed to the command.
June, 12, 1G43. At this date the fortifications had again fallen to decay, and were so far neg- lected that when Monsieur La Tour's ship, the Clement, sailed up the harbor, there was no one left to retinn her salute.
Sept. Ilh. The court agam ordered the muni- tions of war to be sold, and the island rented im- til required for use.
March 7, 1644. The General Court granted one hundred pounds toward building a new fort, on condition that Boston and the neighboring towns assume the pecuniary obligation, and prosecute the work of building. This new structure was to be not less than fifty feet square on the inside, the walls to be ten feet thick, and the whole to re- main the property of the Colony. Five barrels of powder were also granted. The towns accepted the proposition and immediately began the work. The Commander's commission, embodying a com- plete set of instructions, is an interesting docu- ment, and may be found in Colony Records, vol. 2, p. C3. It appears that the ganuson was to con- sist of not less than twenty men in summer and ten in the winter.
Kovember I3lh. Captain Davenport was ap- pointed to the command. Fifty pounds were ap. propriated for his house, and he was also to have one-third of the island for his own use.
May 14, 1645. Captain Davenport was notified that he could expect no regular Chaplain for the garrison, but that "the Lord having granted him able gifts," he was expected to perform the duties of that office and take care of the garrison as his own family. His pay was to be onc-iialf in "come," and one-half in "beaver and shop com- modities."
Ocloher IS. Boston and other towns having failed to cany on the work at the Castle with suf- ficient dcspatcli, the Court "thinke it meeto" to fine them twenty pounds apiece. It was also or- dered to press men for military duty at the
I Island. .....
Casile Ibiand. Mr. Editor:— I am greatly obliged to your correspondent, "Antiquarian," for ' pointing out the omission of the name of Captain John Larrabee, in my sketch of the Colonial His- torj' of Castle Island. I must now, however, examine his own statement, which is evidently . incorrect. "Anli<}tiarian" says that Capt. Larra- bee had charge of the Island from 1712 to 1762. Drake, in his History of Boston, falls into the same error. A caroftU examination of the Colony

the shares of the Now York Central Railroad brought 72, and those of the lUiaois Central 10 1- 1 Forty days afterwaid the first named stock had^ fallen to 51, and the latter to 75. The Philadel-; phia banks suspended payment on the 26th of September; those of Louisville October 1st; those of New York October 13th, and the Boston banks: on the 14th. The great disturbing cause in 1837 . was said to be the demand for specie for export, which conld only bo chocked by a contraction of* bank credits. But the crisis of the present year'^ was not occasioned by any demand for gold froin' abroad. On the contrary, as soon as the state of affaire here was known, gold immediately flowed to New York and Boston from foreign ports, as a handsome profit was made thereon. It is thought . in financial circles, that unless some exciting po- litical dilficulty arises, the money market will im- , prove nearly as rapidly as the panic came upon the country— so that money will be plenty at the Jegal rates after the second week in January. - The Cities of Massachcsktts.

HUNNEWELL'S
UNIVERSAL
COUGH REMEDY,
In the most reUable form, reaches all Throat and Lung Complaints, such as COUGHS, COLDS, SORE THROAT, ASTHMA,
SPASMODIC COUGHS, BRONCHITIS, and LOSS OF VOICE. As a SOOTHING SYRUP FOR CHILDREN,
and in cases of VIOLENT WHOOPING-COUGH, it is most valuable.
HUNNEWELL'S JUSTLY CELEBRATED
TOLU ANODYNE,
THE GREAT NEURALGIC REMEDY.
Probably one of the most wonderful developments in Medicine, and the great specific for Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Catarrh or Rose or Hay Cold, Gout, St. Vitus Dance, Partial Paralysis, Ear-Ache, Tooth-Ache, and also for the Horrors of Delirium Tremens, to that first great cause of Disease, — LOSS OF SLEEP. Let no one, curious to know the effect of such preparations as are gov- erned by strict Laws of Medicine, and sustained only by Testimonials to which we invite the most rigid investigation from Phy- sician or Patient, fail to procure and read the Pamphlets to be found with all Dealers and Agents in every City and Town.

TO PHYSICIANS. — Mr. J. L.

These journals are edited by CnARtES G. Greene, Richard Frothinoham, Jr., and Nathaniel G. Greene ; and employ a large corps of Assistant Editors, Reporters, and Correspondents. Neither labor nor expense is spared to make their columns valua- ble. They have been published nearly thirty years ; have a range of subscription exceeded in extent and aggregate by no paper in New England.
The columns of these papers are filled with a great variety of useful and entertaining matter. Their editorials, domestic and foreign correspondence, reports of lectures, marine department, daily monetary article and weekly financial review, literary notices, poetic contributions, and humorous matter, form a variety designed lo meet every taste.
The ADVEKTISINO COLUMNS embrace an almost entire synopsis of the business of New England.
The PRESS AND POST is made from the Daily's contents, and published every Monday and Thursday morning. This jour- nal, with its ample prices current and general view of the markets, together with a careful synopsis of news, miscellaneous intelli- gence, &c., is admirably adapted to answer the wants of country merchants, or readers out of Boston. To Clubs of ten or more, paid in advance, a reduction of twentv-five per cent will be made.
The BOSTON STATESMAN AND WEEKLY POST forms a racy and complete record of the times, and contains the news of every description. In fact, it is a complete family newspaper, — a vehicle for every species of useful and entertaining information. Clubs, taking ten or more copies in one package^ will be supplied at one dollar and a half a year.
These journals are carefully conducted, and edited in a faith in democratic principles, but in a spirit of conciliation to all parties. As advertising mediums they are unsurpassed: penetrating as they do into such a variety of households scattered over the whole Union, and read as they are by all classes of the community, they furnish an opportunity for the UifTusion of information which can scarcely be obtained elsewhere.
AS THE ABOVE PAPERS ARE PRINTED ON ONE OF HOE & CO.'S FAST PRESSES, WE ARE ENABLED TO DELAY THEIR PUBLICATION UNTIL THE LATEST MOMENT.

FELLING TREES,
Cross-Cutting and Buck-Sawing.
PATEnrTED, AITOirST, 1850, BT
COL. J^MES PT^MILTOlSr,
OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK.
.-^Jz&i-
The attention of the Public, especially Iiumber-lffcn,
Shlp-Buildera, and Farmera, la called to this
Machine, of which the accompanying
cuta are ropreeentatione, in
its different positlone.
No. 1. For Felling Trees. It is well known, that, In chop- ping down treea with the axe from two to three feet, accord- ing to the size of the tree, of the most vjlaable part of the lumber is lost, while by this machine the tree is felled within five inches of the ground; and, by removing the soil suffl- oiently to avoid dulling the saw, it can be cut a? low as desired. Four men can do the work of ten men with axes, in the foresta, and two men can do the work of four. It will be recollected that the butt must be squared, or cross-cut, before the log is ready for the mill ; and the single operation of felling the tree with this machine leaves the log already squared. The land is left pmooth, thus facilitating cultivation, and greatly increasing its value. The surface of the stump, being left flat and level, is porous and epongy, bo that by the action of the elements it soon decays ; but when cut by the axe, with its pores sealed up, and surface rendered smooth, the sttuup defies dissolution, and remains for years an unsightly and inconveuient object.
No. 2 represents this Machine in its position of Cross- Cutting. It operates with equal facility whether the log lies flat on the ground or is elevated several feet above it. The advantage gained over a common cross-cut saw, used by two men, is, that the saw works with greater rapidity, and, by having greater power, is fed faster.
The Machine has Attachments for cutting wood into short lengths. For this purpose it can be worked by one or two men ; and, when not employed in the forests. It may be URtd to advantage in cutting of all 'he firewood required in a neigh- borhood. It is readily adapted to the several kinds of work for which It is intended, requiring less than five minutes for the necessary change of position; and practical experiment has proved its complete success and efficiency.
It will be obsetTcd, by refereoce to the cuts, that the power is applied by two cranks, AA, which are sufficiently elevated above the ground to be conveniently worked. The machine is furoished with two handles, by means of which It is easily carried about by two men, find performs Its work with great expedition and entire safety. A wedge, of peculiar shape, a.ccompanies each machine, which is driven into the kerf, as the saw proceeds, and thus prevents the tree from settling down or binding the saw, and also forces the tree to fall in Che desired direction.
This machine is very simple In Its construction, not liable to get out of order, and moderate in cost, and is confidently commended to those interested in forest and timber lands, and to all engaged f o the lumber business, as effecting a great and important saving of time, labor, and material.

A CARD TO THE PUBLIC.
ILr Recent developments having made fully apparent the fact that there are numerous imitations of our " trade-mark " throughout the United States, and there heing for us no legal means for redress for such attempts to impose upon the public by a spurious article, and thus lessen our reputation as manufac- turers, we have deemedit judicious, as the only way to put our friends and customers upon their guard against imposition, to say to them that all Pianos made by us bear upon the "name- board"
xtMfxn
With the number of the Piano in plain numerals between the
t^vo lines.
Should any person have in his possession, or become aware of the existence of any of the counterfeit instruments above re- ferred to, an advisal of the same to us would be considered as an especial favor.

READ THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONY :
The following unsolicited commendation of our machiae is from the pen of n lady well known In New £ogland: —
Messrs. Ladd, Webstbr& Co.: GeiitJemea, — la iastice to the anperior ex- celleace of the Bewiug-mnchinea manufactured by you, allow me to give you a leaf from my note-book of experience in these matters. Skeptical in my belief of the practicability of constructing a machine that could sew with the neatness and dura- bility of the hand. I yet determined to investigate the subject, and test the com- parative merits of the different machines, as also the real aMlUy of any of them. To do this I spent many weeks, I might almost say months, in a careful examination both of the mechanism and practical results of the various competitors for public favor and patronage. Passing over the minor ones, whose deficiencies a very super- Hcial observer would quickly detect, my judgment at length decided between two of the most prominent maohines now before tne public Lest it might seem invidi- ous. I will not here give the name of the one which I first subjected to a thorough and impartial trial in my own house, with an efficient, practical op^rat-ir to teach me, but I do most emphatically assert that your machine is, m my judgment, the n^. plus ultra of all modem inventions. In simplicity, durability, and strength, it far exceeds any other that I have seen. It is perfectly easy to manage, quick in its oper- ation, never liable to get out of order If properly used, and gives a stitch on boUi Bldea alike, which cannot be excelled. These are but a pari of the excellencies I could name as pertaining to the machine I obtained of you, and which grows more and more into fiivor as I subject it to new and daily trials. What an era in the tolling life of thousands who depend for subsistence upon the ceaseless stitch, stitch) ■titch of their aching fingers, is this noble invention I Surely, as public benefactora* you have reason to congratulate yourselves, gentlemen, that vou have arnved to euch a degree of perfection in the manufacture of this most indispensable article of domesUc comfort and economy. Respectfully yours, Mrs. H. J. Mooee, Newton, May 7, 1859. Newton Comer, Mass.
Letter from Lieut W. L. Madbt, U^ilted States Navy : —
Navt Yabd, Washinotok,? Aug. 12, 1859. S
Oentlemen, — The Sewlng-Machine ordered from you is safely at hand, and Mrs. M. is fully satisfied with it. As an evidence of its simplicity — without directions or explanations, she commenced working on it after a very short trial, and has not ex-
fierienced the least dlfticultv In its operation. I cheerfully give you my testimonial D its favor. I am, respectfully, your obedient servant,
(Signed-X W. L. Maubt.
To McBBrs. Ladd, Websteb 4 Co.
Extract of a letter from Rev. Isaac P. Laugworthy, Secretary Americaji Congre- gational Union, to a brother clergyman: —
Chelsea, Mass., Aug. 13, 1859. Reverend and Dear jSie,— Your letter respecting sewing-machines has been received. I have had one of Ladd. Webster & Co. 's in use in my familv for more than seven months. I am fully satisfied that it combines simplicity with efrengih, capabilities for a ereater variety of work on a greater variety of material, with per- fect ease of working, a proper adjustment of part to part with reference to perma- nency to ieepinn in order, as does no other sewing-machine now before the public. 1 wish every minister's wife had one : her friends can do nothing for her to the same amoUDt that will bo much help and bless her and her family as to give her one.
Extract from a letter from Rev. E. M. Dodd, agent American Board of Commis- stonera for Foreign Missions at Smyrna: —
SUTBNA. April IS, IB59. Messrs. Ladd, Webster & Co.: Oenflemen,— The Sewing-Machine pur- chased of you by Mr. Wetherill, for Mrs. Dodd. has arrived eafelv, and Is in opera- tion. We are very much pleased with iL There waa not the'Ieast difficulty In starting it, and It has gone on sewing ateadlly and to our satisfaction. We ahall take pleasure In recommending your machine, and hope that they may get into uae here.
(Signed.) E. M. Dodd.
Sewino-Machine.— We have Inoiir family a marvellous little agent, which is a wonder of docility. Industry, and promptness; which is also always ready when called upon, and which never tires. This most indispensable domestic article is one of Ladd. Webster & Go's Tio^t-^t'tch Sewing- Machineit, It is a never-ending source of wonder to behold the amount of finished work it will turn out, — ao perfect, uni- form, and strong. With this little bit of machinery a child twelve years ola can accomplish more in half a day than a score of seamstresses, with their handa alone, can do In a week I We most heartily endorse the Ladd, Webster ft Co. machine, after having thoroughly tested it by careful use. We are at a losa whether moat to admire it for the simplicity of its construction (whereby It la next to Impossible for it to get out of order), or the perfection of the work Which it consummates. — if.

STJMMEE AND WINTER COOKING-STOVE
Possesses decided advantages over all other kinds now in use, and
SHOULD BE IN EVERY KITCHEN.
Six years since, the annual sale of the ** Stewart Stove " did not exceed fourteen hundred. Since then it has steadily increased in favor to such an extent, that the manufacturers are now producing and selling
ONE THOUSAND PER MONTH.
It is sold on three months' trial, and warranted to give ENTIBE SATISFACTION, or all the purchase-money will be refunded, upon receipt of the stove. By introducing water-pipes into the stove, water may be heated for bathing purposes as perfectly as by any range, and at much less cost.
Descriptive pamphlets will be sent by mail when desired.

SOLE AGEKTS FOR THE SALE OF

Would respectfully state, that, after a trial of vnexomphd severity for eight years, these Watches have proved them- selves unrivalled for accuracy, reliableness, and durability, and that their claira to being the most perfect Timekeepers ever offered to the public stands unquestioned.
A perfect timekeeper being a necessity of the present day, Messrs. Willard & Son would particular!)' recommend these "watches to the large class of citizens whose daily avocations render a correct Watch absolutely necessary. To those who reside on the line of railroads, to conductors, engineers, surveyors (this Watch taking the place of the Chro- nometer to the latter), we recommend this watch with complete confidence. A cordial invitation is extended to whole- sale and retail purchasers to examine our stock.
Among the many who have used and approved of Charles Frodsham*s Watches as timekeepers, libert}' is given to refer to the following gentlemen : —

This Compaoy is owner of ABSTERDAM'S PROCESS FOR ADDING CAKHON TO COM-
MOX COAJL GAS, for the State of Massachusetts, gives Dotice to all consumers that thia improTement gives more light, brilliant, steady, without flickering, with a saving of onp. half the quantity, thus reducing the oxponse of gas fifty per cent. This Company place their apparatus into all establishments, and furnish the materials and labor at tficir own expense, and receive as their only compensatian one half the savings. Families and others consuming from $50 to $200 per annum, can make special contracts for any term of time without a division of savings. The same advantages are offered to large consumers.
The pl;ite above is a prospective elevation of tlie Apparatus. A, gas proof meter-, B. Apparatus: C, larger eize BpparatuBi D, burner consuming three cubic feet per hour: E. a burner con- Buratng aix cubic feet per hour; F, inlet for the carbon oil twice a year; G, inlet of gos to the nppamtua (partaking of the vnpore of the oil) to the burners; R is the photometer. This arrangement dcmonBtrates that the light from a three-foot burner of carbonized gaa ^ivea much more light thou a eix-foot burner which coneumes double the quantity of common coal gas. The introduction of this improvement of pns throughout the state will be of great advantage to consumers, and eventually benefit the present gns com- panies, extending as it will the number of consumers, it being an acknowledged (act, that this improvement in coal pas makes the use of coal gas more convenient and more economical than oU other known modes of illumination, ond must increase cool gas companies in every town. JOHN HARTSHORN, President.
Proof of Saving. — Every consumer can tell the quantity of gns he now ubcb per hour by his own meter. This Company, n placing their apparatus in any CBtablishment, change the burners to consume but one-hnlf the quantity of carbonized gas per liour, wliich can be tested by the same meter, and which will give more than equal lioht, with one-half the quantity of gas (steady, — without flickering, — witiiout the impurities of carbonic acid), consequently, with a saving of fifty per cent; the giis bills giving the true amount of savings. This improvement is offered to consutHers, and ie plitced free of expense (the Company dividine the savings with the consumer.) Many private families are now using the apparatus for the advantages it gives for light, not taking note of its economy. Without change of burners, the light ie as three to one, with fifteen per cent lees consumplion.

HARRISON LORING,
CITY POINT V/ORKS, SOUTH BOSTON,
BDILDER OF
Boston, July 7, 1860.
Iron Steamships ; Stationary and Marine Engines ; Boiler ^ and Tank Work, of every description ; Sugar-Cane Mills; Pumps; Presses; Shafting, and all kinds of Mill-Gearing.
ALSO,
Loring's Improved Revolving Bleaching Boilers, for Paper-Mills.
The conveniences and facilities at the CITY POINT WORKS, for the above work, are not surpassed in America ; having a water-front of five hundred and fifty feet, and seven acres of land, upon which are erected two large Ship-Houses, in immediate connection with the extensive Boiler, Blacksmith, and Machine Shops, which are supplied with the best tools in the country.
Having a Pier over seven hundred feet long, can offer great inducements in repairing Steamships, and other marine work, in the most efficient manner, and with great dispatch; and will further state, to persons desiring to examine my Works, that the Iron Steamships SOUTH CAROLINA and MASSACHUSETTS, and the machinery of U. S. sloop-of-war HARTFORD, are some of my recent construction.
Tiiankful for the liberal patronage heretofore bestowed, I hope by strict personal attention to insure its continuance.
