phere of the ses that always works a miracle of restoration for me after the arduous labors of the year. It was a great pleasure to have as company ou the boat two old friends, Rev. Frederic Lent and

Rev. Arthur Gordon, son of the late Kev. A. J. Gordon, D. D., of Bustou.

Beautiful for situation is old Yar-

inouth. Amid "the gold of the early sunrise" we found ourselves rapidly ap- proaching this noted place. Like a bird

From Col. Cleaveland's the next was the Dr. Pratt house, which, remodelled, now stands where it did seventy years ago, just north of J. P. Bassett's. From there to the corner of Beaver street was a line of horse sheds the entire distance. Further north is the house of J. Riley, then called the Darius Morse place, in wbicht were held the first Universalist meetings, perhaps four times a year, very much to the dislike of Dr. Emmons, then the only minister of the town. On the occasions of those meetings the doctor would denounce them in no mild terms and state ein phatically where they would go, without naming the temperature of for speed. It is far pleasanter for a short the place. On one occasion, in bis most vehement manner, be said: "If I had the power of Almighty God I would stop that preaching or stop their breath."

One house only on Beaver street, now standing. was where Caleb Thurston lived; on the spot where Dr. Abbott's dwelling stands was the Newton Pond house; where the late James Sbaw lived was another house, called the Asa Fisber house, then a tavern, where the old men

would gather Sunday noons to eat their dougbouts and cheese, as there were two good, long sermous every Sunday, with

an hour for intermission. The next

bonse, south, was the old Jarvis Hill

place, where J. B. Fitzpatrick now lives. Jerry Claflin's came next. Hanaan Metcalf's house stood very near where tbe Crescent House now is; the same

building, remodelled, and owned by Davis Thayer, Jr, stands near the foot of High street, on Union.

Going south ou Main the next rest- dence was that of Dr. Emmons, where stands the J. F. Ray house. The next and only one was the DeWitt farmhouse; then later a taveru, finally burned. From Thayer's corner toward Poverty lane, as Unionville was then called, were Hart- ford Leonard, Eli M. Richardson and Joel Daniels. The house occupied by George Hayward on Summer street and the one opposite completed the list.

Kighteen houses, one store, one church and three taverns composed all in the centre Thurston's tavern, on the Union-

ville road, the late J. G. Ray's farm, was

an important place where the stage horses were changed.

Elected a member of the Massachusetts senate iu 1898 from the Second Norfolk senate rial district, be immediately took a position of prominence there and was soon recognized as one of its leaders and hardest workers. In that year be was chairman of the committee on mercantile affairs and a member of the committee on judiciary and committee on rules. Re- elected senstor in 1899, he became chair. man of the joint committee on judiciary, which adopted the system of hearing all matters as a joint committee, tbus mak- ing a great saviug to the public in avoid- ing hearings before separale committees of the two brauches. This position

marked him aa the titular leader of the senate, where he was already recognized as the practical leader. During this year he was also a member of the committee on banke and banking and of the com- mittee on roles.

Upon the assumption that President Smith would retire at the end of that term his associates selected him as Mr. Smith's successor, and hix election to that honorable position was assured.

There is still considerable discussion as to the effect of the electric cars upou local business. So far as the livery stable business is concerned, there does not seem to be much doubt or difference of opinion But in otber lines of trade it is

still an open question whether the effect is good or the reverse.

The street is certainly in bad condition at present and needs improvement, and there is little doubt but what the selectmen will grant the prayer of the petitioners.

The swimming panty consisted ol Ed- win Raymond, Dr J F Cowan, Roger Wells and Councilman Walker, the latter being considered a very good man in the water. After leaving the Allston shore the men struck out leisurely for Cap- tain's island, but Mr. Raymond weak- ened and Messrs Walker and Cowan went to bis assistance Mr. Raymond wax steadily being helped toward the Cam- bridge side, when Councilman Walker's strength gave out and he had to relin quish bis hold of Raymond, Theret pou Mr. Wells took Mr. Walker's place and brought Raymond ashore.

Councilman Wacker not having come ashore, Messrs. Cowan aud Wells re en- tered the water again in search of him. Mr. Walker, however, was not in sigbt and could not be found. The body was recovered yesterday.

Mr. Walker followed Principal Chand ler here from '91 to'98. He was born in Milford in 1868 and was educated in the local schools. He graduated from Boston university among the first in his class and them from the Harvard law school. Mr. Walker has been at bis law practice only three years, but had achieved & growing reputation. Two years ago he was elected a member of the Bostou common council from ward 25, and was last year re elected. In politics he was a republican. He was also a prominent member ot the Allston Cou gregational church. He leaves a mother, who is at present in Minneapolis, and a sister.

ABOUT THE LEGISLATURE.

The reported remarks nf F H. Wilhamns about the alleged servility of the legisla ture to corporations of Massachusettsare interesting, but as Mi. Williams was him- self a member of that legislature, why has he waited so long before freeing hix mind? He certainly must have had g.KHI opportunity for missionary work during the session, but he seems to have with held bis must fut able denunciation until the members hal adjourned and gone to Their respective hommes Wann is this entirely fan?
