Whether the writer will ever again travel along the historic way in the goodly company he has so much enjoyed, cannot now be known. The generations have passed on in their silent march to the bourn whence none return ; and in the common course of events he must soon join them-soon bid an everlasting adieu to all here, and lie down with the great company now at rest :
"That silent company Which far outnumbers all upon earth's face."

MAYORS.
MAYORS OF LYNN.
In the Chapter of Biographical Sketches, appear the names of all the Mayors of Lynn, from the adoption of the City Charter, to 1882, with fac-similes of their signatures. But it is so convenient for reference to have them all arranged together, with a statement of their terms of office, that they will be here given in chronological order. The autographs, too, will be re- inserted, as it is believed that the little space required cannot be filled in any way more acceptable.
By the original Charter the municipal year was made to commence on the first Monday of April ; but by an amendment which took effect in 1855, it was changed to the first Monday of January.
