1 882.
The winter of ISSI and '82 was rather remarkable for the quantity of snow, and the long time the earth remained covered. A storm began on the afternoon of Jan- uary 31, during which some eighteen inches fell. And on the next Sunday, Feb. 5, a snow storm occurred that was not for many years before exceeded in violence. The drifts in some places were for a time insurmountable ; and services at several of the principal churches were omitted.
On the night of Feb. 15, a building on Munroe street, owned by Charles G. Clark, together with one or two others, was burned, causing a loss of some $20.000.
The Grand Army Coliseum, on Summer street, was dedicated March 15, with appropriate ceremonies. Its seating capacity is much greater than any other place of assembly hitherto erected here.
On the morning of the 15th of March, just before the time for workmen to assem- ble, a terrific steam boiler explosion took place in the rear of the Goodwin last factory, in Spring street.

One or two adjacent buildings were much damaged, and a piece of the boiler, weighing about 1.500 pounds, was thrown two hundred feet up into the air, and fell in Newhall street, seven hundred feet distant.
A fire occurred on the morning of April 22, at IIoughton, Godfrey and Dean's paper warehouse, Central avenue, destroying property to the amount of $3.000.

CHRONOLOGICAL TABLE.
and fright of persons in the vicinity. And subsequently other explosions took place inducing an appeal to the city authorities for protection.
Nickerson's oil clothing factory, in Swampscott, was burned, August 4. Miss Emma Stone, employed in the establishment, lost her life, and the loss of property amounted to about $9.000.
An extraordinary drought prevailed during the latter part of the summer. Most of the crops about Lynn were absolutely ruined, the unripe fruit dropped from the trees, and much of the shrubbery and many of the trees had the appearance of having been exposed to fire blasts. Yet the springs and wells did not indicate any very marked deficiency of moisture somewhat below the surface. We had an uncom- monly long succession of very warm days, with westerly winds and clear skies. And the peculiar effect on vegetation was, no doubt, attributable rather to the burning sun than the lack of moisture. The spring was backward by full two weeks, and the weather was on the whole anomalous, most of the year.
The Ocean House, in Swampscott, a summer hotel of considerable note, was destroyed by fire, on the evening of September 6. It was a large wooden building, six stories in front and five in the rear. The loss was about $65.000.
In October, the fare to or from Boston was reduced to five cents on all the trains of the Narrow-gauge Rail-road, and on a part of those of the Eastern.
Mayor Lovering was, on the 7th of November, elected a member of the U. S. Congress -the second Lynn man ever chosen for that honorable position.
The morning sky for several weeks in October and November was adorned by a splendid comet which rose two or three hours before the sun, in the south-east. 1 very good representation of it, as seen from High Rock is here given. The steeple of the Central church, in Silsbee street, is seen on the right of the picture, and Phillips's Point, Swampscott, on the left. Astronomers had wonderful stories to tell of this comet -its inconceivable speed and partial disruption as if by some collision.

TABLES.
The foregoing Chronological Table, as elsewhere remarked, it is thought will be sufficient for a glimpse at our whole history ; and in the present volume nothing more than a mere glance at the times anterior to the point at which the 1865 edition record closes, could be expected or desired, at least by those possessed of a copy of that issue.
Near the close of that volume are various tables, among which are : lists of the surnames of all residents of Lynn from 1629 to 1700-of Assistants and Counsellors -of early Representa- tives - of members of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery - of soldiers of the Revolution - of members of important Conven- tions - of Senators - of Newspapers and Editors - of the suc- cessions of Ministers of the various religious societies, &c. These, for the most part, are of course omitted here, as the great accumulation of names would have required space that could perhaps be filled with more interesting matter, inasmuch as they can be readily found elsewhere. A few, however, of those most commonly useful for reference, will be found in their proper connections in these pages ; all of which the reader can easily find by referring to the Index.
