ren. Thomas Seccomb, Esq., who died April 15, 1773, gave by his will some money to the town of Medford. The amount was increased by a donation from his widow, till it reached the sum of £ 133. 6s. 8d. (lawful money), which was just equal to £ 100 sterling of English currency. The interest only was to be distributed annually among the most necessitous. It was common to imprison the poor debtor. July 16, 1770, the town voted to give security to the high-sheriff, and thus release Nathaniel Francis from jail. When the town bought their first alms-house, the number of paupers lessened, because there were some who would not submit to being connected with such a house, and some who would not associate with such a mixture. The pauper-tax, therefore, was smaller. When, in 1813, the new brick house was built, and afterwards so admirably managed, the earnings of the inmates were enough to lessen the poor-tax nearly one-half. The cost that year was $1,010.25; which is fifty per cen

ure, more than that of any other, will mock at the sympathies and endearments which make dying seem, for a season at least, impossible. How like a ruthless enemy, glad, if the sufferings which he can occasion may be aggravated by private and peculiar circumstances, does the last enemy frequently appear! The next stone we shall notice would appear to be the joint property of Fairfield and Wadsworth, both which names it shows. Beyond this, on Indian Ridge Path, are those erected by Nathaniel Francis, Greenleaf, and Martin Brimmer. In the same neighborhood we find also one raised to the memory of David Patterson, a young merchant of Boston, who died at sea in 1834:-- Erected by his commercial friends and associates as a memorial of their affection and respect for his elevated moral and religious character. He sleeps beneath the blue lone sea, He lies where pearls the deep. He was the loved of all, yet none O'er his low bed may weep. David Patterson. Webster. Clemen
