NOTES.
The above cited extract, together with the following note adduced from Mr. Torrey's valuable History of the Town of Fitchburg, will show the value of labor and ser- vices about one century ago. The currency and common mode of reckoning then was old tenor.
' Old Tenor' and 'Lawful Money' explained.
" As many of my readers, at the present day, would probably find it difficult to determine the difference be- tween ' Old Tenor' and ' Lawful Money,' I will here add that in the year 1702 recourse was hrad in the New Eng- land provinces to a paper currency to support the expenses of the government, and furnish a substitute for a circulat- ing medium. The bills purported that they would be re- deemed at a certain time, which was done at first, but it soon became customary to redeem them by new emissions. This being done pretty liberally, they began to depreciate in value. In Massachusetts, where their value was kept up better than in the other provinces, the depreciation was at the rate of seven and a half for one in specie. This currency acquired the name of Old Tenor-seven shillings and six pence being equal to only one shilling in silver, which was called ' Lawful money,' or ninepence sterling of Great Britain.
In the year 1750, the government of Great Britain made a grant of a sum of money to Massachusetts to remuner- ate the province for its exertions in the late war with France. Governor Hutchinson proposed that this sum, which was sent over in dollars and parts of dollars, should be appropriated to redeem the whole of the bills of credit of the province. This proposition, after much opposition, was carried into effect ; and eventually it was productive

of much good. Accordingly the circulation of Old Ten- or bills was finally stopped on the 31st of March, 1750. The last emission of the Old Tenor bills was made by Gov. Shirley in order to defray the expenses of the expe- dition against Cape Breton in 1745. This he did contra- ry to the express orders of the king to put a stop to them ; but as the plan was successful, no notice was taken of this breach of orders."

' Old Style' and 'New Style' Explained.
The young reader may naturally inquire the reason of this month February being in the same year with the pre- vious October. For information this note is inserted. The Old Style was in use and the year began on the 25th of March, until 1752; after which the year began on the 1st of January.
Extract from the Act of Parliament regulating the commencement of the year, and for correcting the calen- dar now in use.
Whereas the legal supputation of the year of our Lord in England according to which the year beginneth on the 25th day of March, hath been found by experience to be attended with divers inconveniences-therefore-Be it enacted, That the said supputation, according to which the year of our Lord beginneth on the 25th day of March, shall not be made use of from and after the last day of

And that from and after the first day of January 1752, the several days of each month: shall go on and be reckoned and numbered in the same order as they now are until the second day of September in the said year 1752 inclusive; and that the natural day next immediately following the said second day of Sep- tember shall be called, reckoned and accounted to be the fourteenth day of September, omitting for that time only the eleven intermediate days of the common calendar. -Vide Acts and Laws of Massachusetts Bay, fol.
