partner, has retired from business, and resides in Easton.

In the year 1868, James T. Stevens and George D. Willis built a small factory on the corner of Tremont and Taylor Streets, and commenced the manufacture of nails and tacks. Steam-power was used. For various reasons they removed their fac-

tory to Weymouth about 187.1. In 1872 they bought a piece of land adjoining the shovel-works, and erected buildings thereon, using the waste water of the pond of the shovel-factory and also steam-power. Mr. Stevens having a thorough knowledge of his trade, being a practical mechanic, and Mr. Willis proving an excellent salesman, have built up a good business with a reputation for good work.

Just in the rear of the Braintree Cemetery, situated on Pond Street, is an old dam. In the only reference to it I have found in the records it is called Samuel Niles' dam, and probably was used as a site for a saw- mill. This was in 1731, and the mill was then prob- ably not in existence, as it is spoken of as formerly known by that name. It must be of very ancient

date, most likely before 1675. No tradition exists, as far as I can learn, of what the dam was used for.

There is a privilege situated near the corner of Pond and Granite Streets which was in 1730 in pos- session of Col. William Hunt, who occupied it for a forge. The ore was taken from the bottom of Great Pond by dredging, so tradition says. Iron ore has | wharf now used in that vicinity is occupied by Joel been found in considerable quantities, and at one time was exported from the town. The cinders made at this forge can be seen at this time. It was afterwards purchased by David Holbrook, and remained in the family for four generations, used for a saw- and grist- mill. Since the death of Moses Holbrook it was pur- chased by George White, and afterwards used as a saw-mill by him until his death, which was caused by an accident while at work in the mill. After his death it was compelled to yield to the torch of the incendiary.

Another saw- and grist-mill was situated near Wash- ington Street, on Cranberry Brook, and is known as Ludden's mill. But little is known of its history, · but the ruins of the dam are plainly to be seen. Still another saw-mill was situated on the same brook, far- ther up the stream, and near Liberty Street. It was the property of William Wild, a native of the town, who removed to that vicinity about 1750. Nothing but the dam remains.

These privileges were all situated on the Monati- quot River or its tributaries. Said river takes its rise near the great Blue Hill, in Canton, and is called Blue Hill River until it reaches Great Pond, in Brain- tree, when it takes the name of Moore's Farm River. Near the place where it receives the waters of Little Pond it joins the Cochato River, which rises near the borders of Holbrook and Stoughton, and near the junction it receives the waters of Cranberry Pond, and flows into Boston Harbor. In the year 1818 the owners of the privileges on Monatiquot River obtained of the General Court authority to use the waters of Houghton's Pond, in Milton, and Great, Little, and Cranberry Ponds, in Braintree, that they might have those waters to use during the, droughts of summer. They have enlarged and deepened the natural outlets of Great and Little Pond for that purpose. Monati- quot River, after it arrives at the line between Brain- tree and Weymouth, is sometimes called Weymouth Fore River, but the name on the ancient records is that of Monoticut. Near the Weymouth line there was formerly much ship-building carried on by Sam- uel Arnold, Nathaniel R. Thomas, and others. But the business has not been carried on for some years. The river is navigable as far as Shaw Street bridge, and on its borders in ancient times were situated

many wharves, from whence the products of the coun- try were conveyed to the markets, and receiving goods in return. Prominent among these places may be mentioned a wharf called William Penn's upper landing place as early as 1645, and probably earlier. It was situated near the foot of Mill Lane. The only

F. Sheppard, a native of New Jersey, for the trans- action of a coal and wood business. Besides the water received from the ponds, the river is fed by a large number of springs, with which the town abounds. The most noted of these springs is situated at the foot of a gravel plain, from whence flows a steady stream of pure water which never freezes, but con- tinues to flow with a never-failing supply, although the earth is parched by the heat of summer ; nor does it increase during the heavy rains of spring and au- tumn. The people come for miles around, and carry away barrels every day through the summer for fam- ily use. It has been analyzed by competent chemists, and found to contain medical qualities. The water of Monatiquot River is also used by the tannery of Col. Albion C. Drinkwater, which is situated on the corner of Adams and Elm Streets. He pronounces it the best water in the State of Massachusetts for tanning purposes. About the year 1800 the manu- facture of shoes was commenced in the town by Sam- uel Hayden, who disposed of his goods in Boston. This, with the addition of boots, soon became an ex- tensive business, and from that time. to the present they have been manufactured in this town, not as large now as at a former period. The number of the manufacturers are so many that I cannot devote the space for their names. Suffice it to say that almost every dwelling had a shop built near it, where the workmen took their work from the manufacturers and made the boots for market. These have gradually gone to decay or have been removed for other pur- poses, so that now one can scarcely be found, the workmen laboring in factories. The Braintree thick boot bore the highest price in the market, and sustained its good name for many years. On the borders of Little Pond, Warren Mansfield commenced a wheelwright business, which gradually enlarged until he was compelled to erect a stone factory with steam-power to fill his numerous orders. He became a large manufacturer of cars, wagons for the military service of the government during the Rebellion, and also large wagons, which he shipped to Cuba and South America.

During the last few years a factory has been built for the manufacture of Cardigan jackets, and is run by steam-power. The business is carried on by

Old Colony Bulletin .- On June 5, 1875, appeared the first number of the Old Colony Bulletin, which was published in South Braintree by Mr. C. Franklin David. It was issued fortnightly, and remained in existence some six months, when its publisher re- moved to Abington. Its first editor was Mr. A. E. Sproul, who is now on the reportorial staff of the Boston Herald, and well adorns the profession, prov- ing himself an able and ready writer.

BRAINTREE-(Continued).

MILITARY HISTORY.

DURING the year 1807, when it was feared that the country would become involved in a foreign war, it was voted by the town that the men who turned out for the service of the country should fare as well as the Third Regiment should fare. At a meeting of the town, held May 12, 1808, it was voted to give the men who enlisted in the United States service three dollars each. Under this vote the town paid three dollars cach to twenty-two men, as appears by the order-book. The persons paid were Thomas Hollis, Jr., William Thayer (3d), John Hollis (2d), Moses French, Joshua Sampson, Jr., George New- comb, Ebenezer Hayward, Alexander Holbrook, Asaph Faxon, Jr., Samuel Holbrook, James Hol- brook, Isaac Allen, James French, Abia Holbrook, Levi Thayer, Jr., Jonathan Thayer, Jr., Samuel Robinson, Jonathan Hill, Thomas Wild, Warren Loud, John Cushing, and Charles Bass.

In the war of 1812 the town of Braintree, like most of the towns in the State, was opposed to the war with Great Britain, and the state of feeling can be seen by the vote for Governor at the election held Nov. 12, 1812, a high state of political feeling exist-

were thrown eighty-six votes, for the Republican only fifty. At a town-meeting called May 28, 1812, it was voted to make each man's pay, with the United States pay, fourteen dollars per month, as long as they are out in the service. It was also voted that if the drafted men are called out for military duty more than by order of the government, the town agree to pay them one dollar for each day. Sept. 16, 1814, a town-meeting was held to see if the town will take into consideration the alarming situation which threatens our shores by invasion by the hostile foe, with respect to the defense. Voted to add four persons to the selectmen, which shall be denominated a Committee of Safety. The selectmen at that time consisted of Caleb French, Dr. Jonathan Wild, and Major Amos Stetson. The persons added were Messrs. Jonas Welch, Capt. Thomas Hollis, Lieut. William Reed, and Minott Thayer. Voted that the town raise the sum of three hundred dollars to pay the troops, and that we pay the same that Randolph, Milton, and Quincy pay. The only persons I have heard of in the United States service were John, Isaac, and Ebenezer Holbrook and James French. The latter died in the service at Plattsburg, N. Y., in 1814.

Upon the breaking out of the Rebellion, in 1861, one of the first towns to respond to the call for troops was Braintree. It already had a company of in- fantry, who had joined themselves together for the purpose of perfecting themselves in military drill, and to enjoy the pleasures of the training-field. They little dreamed that they would be called at a few hours' notice to leave their comfortable homes and loved and loving friends to mingle in the dangers of war. But so it proved. On the 15th day of April of that year they received orders late in the afternoon to report in Boston on the following day, to go- they knew not whither. But they did not shrink from the performance of their duty. Many of them had families dependent upon their daily labor for the necessaries of life, and knew not how they could sus- tain those families in comfort while they were absent in their country's service. But they marched with full ranks, in full trust that God would provide means and would open the hearts of their townsmen, so that these loved ones would be cared for in their absence. On the morning of April 16th the Braintree Light Infantry, Company C, Fourth Regiment Massachu- setts Volunteer Militia, were formed at their armory prepared for duty. They marched for Boston to join their regiment, and in a few days sailed for Fortress Monroe, where they remained the term of their en-

listment, and returned to their homes July 22d, the same year. Immediately after their departure the selectmen of the town issued their warrant for a town- meeting to be held on April 26th, to provide for the families of the soldiers. The warrant was dated April 19th, only three days after their departure, and was signed by David H. Bates, N. H. Hunt, and Phillips Curtis. At that meeting it was voted that a sum not exceeding $1500 be appropriated for the support of the families of those who have left the town and their homes in obedience to the call of the President of the United States. David H. Bates, N. H. Hunt, Phillips Curtis, J. H. D. Blake, Jason . G. Howard, Caleb Hollis, and Elisha Thayer were appointed a committee to expend and distribute the above appro- priation. Under this vote the committee expended $1437.44.

Another call was made for troops, and the State passed a law authorizing towns to aid the families of soldiers, and on August 19th of the same year the town voted to borrow $1000, to be expended according to law. The sum expended under this vote was refunded by the State. July 14, 1862, the town voted to offer a bounty of one hundred dollars to each indi- vidual volunteer resident of Braintree who shall, un- der the direction of the selectmen, within thirty days from date, volunteer for the war. The selectmen, under this vote, expended the sum of $8637.30. This sum also includes the money paid agreeable to a vote passed Aug. 18, 1862, whereby the selectmen were authorized to pay each volunteer resident who shall enlist previous to the first day of September under the late call of the President for nine months $125, to the number of the quota assigned to the town, and $7500 was appropriated for that object. During the year 1864 the town paid the sum of $8360.77 for bounties and expenses of recruiting the quota of the town. June 1, 1864, it was voted to authorize the selectmen to pay from the treasury the sum of $125 for each person volunteering in the quota of Braintree previous to the first day of March, 1865, under any call from the President of the United States.

During the year 1865 the town paid for bounties and expenses the sum of $9495, making a total of $27,930.51 which had been paid by the town in its corporate capacity for the prosecution of the war. This is in addition to the sum refunded by the State, and also to many private contributions for the same purpose.
