are to fields and waysides, are escapes from our forefathers' vegetable gardens. Other interesting plants of this class which are still occasionally found in our city are the alsike, that pretty pink clover which originated in Sweden, where it is considered one of the most valuable of forage plants; the brilliant cone-flower, or black-eyed Susan, a native of our Western prairies, and unknown in New England fifty years ago; the mullein, the bladder campion, and the sky-blue succory, which Dr. Bigelow, who appreciated every charm of the flowers he so faithfully described, called an elegant plant. As for the field daisy, the buttercup, and the dandelion, they hold a much warmer place in our affections than do many of the choice native species. James Russell Lowell sings of the dandelion:— Dear common flower, that grow'st beside the way, Fringing the dusty road with harmless gold. Thou art more dear to, me Than all the prouder summer blooms may be. My childhood's earliest thoughts ar

l, is spoken of as lately deceased, and the vacancy is supplied by engaging Peter Conant. It was voted at the May meeting that the female school on Austin street be kept through the year, instead of six months. Mr. Barrett (?) and Miss Sprague have continued here and given general and great satisfaction. As the lease for this building will soon expire, it is advisable to purchase the site, or one more eligible, on which to build. Henry Adams resigned at school No. 2 in June, when Samuel Bigelow was engaged to fill the vacancy. He has done much to raise the character of the school. The new school on Winter Hill road was opened June 14, 1824, under the care of Miss Hobbs. This school and the one at Milk Row, under Miss Eliza Wayne, were closed in October (examined Wednesday, October 13). At the former 32 boys and 28 girls, or 60 out of a total of 73, were present, mostly young scholars. Their performances were respectable. Present: Rev. James Walker, the president of the b

tioned the Court to alter the road so as to run farther south and thus leave the Bemis Tavern out of the line of travel. Returning to the north side of the road, at the fork of Main and Weston Streets, were the house and store of Daniel Stearns, and the district school-house just below. The latter was removed when the new No. 6 was erected in its place. Near Mr. Nehemiah Warren's house on the west the road crossed Masters's Brook. On the east side of the brook stood the tavern of Samuel Bigelow, and on the west side the house of Bezaleel Flagg. Above Stowe Street stands the house of N. L. Sibley, formerly the residence of Nathan Locke, and owned and occupied by Bradshaw Smith before him. Just above this was the dwelling in 1798 of Zebedee Macomber, built by his father-in-law David Smith, owner of the Brick Tavern which stood opposite. In building it he made near the fire-place a secret cupboard to keep his money in, which no one knew of until he pointed it out to his daught
