ead devotes to the masses. Now I have faithfully said my say, and send you hearty greetings. November 17th, 1893. I have been to Bedford, and am back. My inviter and entertainer was Mr. A. Talbot, a Master of the Grammar School at Bedford. This school was founded in 1552, by Sir William Harper, a Lord Mayor of London, who endowed it with land which, at the time, brought only one hundred and sixty pounds a year, but which has since grown to be sixteen thousand pounds a year. A new Grammar School was completed three years ago, at a cost of thirty thousand pounds, and is a magnificent structure of red brick with stone facings. Its Hall is superb, between forty and fifty feet high, and about one hundred feet, by forty feet. It was in this Hall I lectured to a very crowded audience. The new lecture on ‘Emin‘ was received in perfect silence until I finished, when the applause was long and most hearty. But, to my astonishment, after all my pains to prune it down, it lasted one ho

In addition to these a High School was established in 1839 for the whole town. The first High School-house was on the corner of Windsor Street and Broadwme to time, as there shall be occasion to purchase wood for the use of said Grammar School. If not paid, delinquent pupils were to be excluded from the school. May 1

Caleb Rotheram, D. D. was born March 7, 1694, at the pleasant village of Great Salkeld, on the banks of the river Eden, in Cumberland, which, as we have seen, was also, a few years afterwards, the birthplace of Benson. He was instructed in classical learning by Mr. Anthony Ireland, at that time master of the free Grammar School at Blencowe, and pursued his academical studies, preparatory to the exercise of the Christian ministry, under the direction of Dr. Dixon, at Whitehaven. In the year 1716, he accepted an invitation from the Protestant dissenting congregation at Kendal, and became their stated pastor; a station in which he remained through life. Nothing is recorded of him till the year 1733; but we cannot doubt that, as he continued the useful but uniform and noiseless tenor of his way, in the diligent discharge of the duties of his office, he advanced in reputation as in years; for at this period, in compliance with the request of many of the most eminent among the Disse

For an account of the Dudleian Lecture, see Quincy's Hist. Harv. Unit., II. 139-40. The topics are now of very little interest. 1768 Nos. 1140 and 1141 of Mr. Cooke's discourses are minutes of sermons on Heb. 12:25, for Sept. 16, 1768, repeated Aug. 25, 1771, and Jan. 31, 1779. In this year it was voted to keep a Grammar School fourteen weeks at the school-house in the Precinct, between Nov. 1, 1768, and April 1, 1769. The remainder of the town's money granted the Precinct for schools, was applied to the support of four women's schools, and, as usual with every appropriation, committees were appointed to expend it. 1769 In this year a new school-house was built in the Precinct at a cost to the town of £ 50. 14. 6. 2.

e and transportation; 271 males in agriculture; 1,551 males and 713 females in manufacturing. There were 226 farmers, 14 clergymen, and 15 lawyers. The number of families was 2,042; 1,223 occupied dwellings, and 94 unoccupied. The valuation of personal property was $2,264,570; of real estate $7,866,200; total valuation $10,130,770. The value of the agricultural products was $178,896, and of manufactures $2,620,788. There are eleven school buildings in the town, including two fine Grammar School Houses and one High School House, furnishing accommodation for 35 schools. Reference has already been made to the old Fiske house, on Main Street west of Bacon Street, as probably the oldest house in the town. Upon the walls of the parlor in the west end, quaint paper, imported from China, is still preserved in as good condition as when put on over eighty years ago. The three willow trees in front of the house sprang from a willow switch, cut by the boys seventy-five years ago, to qu

a, with whom he came into frequent collision. It would be difficult to say which of them won the palm in the interchange of vitriolic personalities. I had intended to give a more complete description of the buildings in the square and its neighborhood, but the enumeration of them would be prolix and interesting only to a few. I will therefore proceed at once to give some account of the schools of Medford as I passed through them from 1836 to 1842. I first attended the Cross-street Grammar School, kept of Mr. Aaron Magoun, afterwards a muchre-spected teacher in one of the Cambridgeport schools, of which he was master for a very long term of years. The Cross-street school was a school very much after the antique pattern. Boys and girls attended of all ages, from eight years to twenty. The teacher had twice or thrice as much to do as he could attend to, and the discipline was of a very rough-and-ready sort. The curriculum which I followed up was remarkable for its limitations:
