This~{3etrtioh, however, was opposed by the town of Dedham, and a committee was chosen by that town to appear at the Octo- ber session of the General Court, and remonstrate against the division. The General Court did not immediately grant the prayer of the petitioners, but advised the inhabitants of Dedham to exempt the petitioners from paying taxes for the support of the minister then settled in their town, provided they Avould have preaching among themselves. This advice was complied with by a vote of the town, November thirteenth following. In addition to this, March 19, 1711, the proprietors of undivided land in Dedham granted to the settlers here two lots of land, containing about one hundred and thirty-three acres, for the support of the minister. Although the situation of the inhabitants was now, virtually, that of a separate precint, yet they persevered in their efforts for incorporation as a town, and on tlie fifth of November, 1711, the General Court granted an order incorporating that portion of Dedham north of the Charles River under the name of Needham. What gave the new town the name of Needham is not definite- ly known, but Rev. Stephen Palmer, who was an authority on the local history of this town, in a note to an historical address de- livered by him in 1811, says: "The author has been informed by one of the descendants of the venerable Timothy Dwight, of Dedham, who was a member of the legislature when this town was incorporated, that it was named Needham at the request of Governer Dudley, after Needham in England, and because that town is near to Dedham, although in a different county." The first town meeting was held December 4, 1711, when the following selectmen were chosen : John Fisher, John Smith, Ben- jamin Mills and Robert Cook. Timothy Kingsbury was chosen town clerk. Robert Cook was also the first representative to the General Court, May 19, 1712. At the same meeting (Dec. 4, 1711) the selectmen, with Jona- than Gay, Jeremiah Woodcock, Thomas Metcalf and Eleazer Kingsbury were made a committee to select a suitable place for burying the dead. In less than two months from the incorporation of the town, (Dec. 25, 1711) the inhabitants voted to build a house for public worship. This house was raised in 1712, and in 1713-15 money was granted for finishing various parts of it ; " but," says Mr. Palmer, "it does not appear that the house was entirely finished, nor is there any account that it was ever dedicated."

Early in the mornini; of Sunwn) was destroyed by fire. It stood within a few rods of the spot whence the present church edifice of the First Parish was removed in 1879. The Kev.

'*On the seventeenth of October, 1773, about four o clock in the morning, I discovereil our meetintr house to be on fire. Mine was the onlv house* which was near.

E«q. 14 HISTORY OF NEEDHAM. everything was extremely dry, and in short there seemed no pos- sibility of injuring any other building by biirning this. The event produced great alarm and confusion, and in the course of the day most of the inhabitants of the town came to view the smoking ruins, and some even wept over them. Much pains were taken to find out the incendiary, but to no purpose ; which I then thought and still think a happy circumstance, as the spirit of resentment was so high against him that he would have found no mercy from the hands of his prosecutors. The culprit must have had some con- nections who would have spoken in his favor. This would have opened a new matter of contention, and greatly added to the diffi- culties which we had to encounter. The people were soon called together, and after resolving on some measures* for detecting the culprit and bringing him to punishment, they agreed in a vote for building a meeting house, but were very much divided as to the place where they should set it. Many months passed before they could come to any decision on the subject. A survey of the town was taken, but the centre fell where it would suit neither party. However, they finally got a vote, by a small majority, to erect it on the old spot. The opposing party were extremely exasperated, and, for my own part, I feared they would use force to prevent its going on. This building was not commenced xmtil June, 1774. A Mr. Blackman, of Stoughton, was the undertaker, and there could not be found a man better qualified for the purpose. The house was raised August 2d and 3d. They began to raise (after a prayer had been made) at ^ after 5 A. M. The opposing party came about 9 o'clock, supposed they should be in season to pre- vent its going up. But when they found the work in such for- wardness they were discouraged, and prudently withdrew, although with much resentment and many threats. The consequence was a division of the town into two parishes, after a long, tedious and expensive contest, and erecting another meeting-house about three miles to the westward of this." Such divisions of Towns into little and generally jooor Parishes is extremely in^nrious to Society. But it is better perhaps, than to live in continual contention ; and it often happens that tliere is no other alternative. Such restless creatures are mankind that it is rare that any considerable number can long harmonize and live together in unity. The contest in my Parish respecting the placing the meeting-house gave me an im- pressive evidence that even the best of men may be so blinded *At a meeting held November 18, 1773, the town voted that : " The town will grant the sum of ten pounds, to be drawn out of the treasury by any person or persons that shall make discovery of what person or persons that set the meeting-house on fire, so that he or they may be broufflit to conviction."

In ITGT, these per- sons, or their successors, had applieil to the legislature, to Ik* re-annexed to Natick, but their petition was dismi.sseLiy '2x, 177U — to which time the business ha«l been adjourned, — refu-*ing to build at the centre, and resolving t^) build a new meeting-lmuse, and selecting as its site "the north side of the r^hlj meeting-house, as near as it coidd conveniently be built." The sijbject of rhoosing a committee "to jiroceed in building the new meeting-house" was ilismissed for want of an appropriation for the purpose. At the .March meeting in 1773, the subject of building was again postponed, but the old structure having been c«>nsunie ; and voi«d that. 18 HISTORY OF NEEDHAM. when built, the new edifice should stand as located by the former vote. On the 18th, the town passed a series of votes, granting £200, to be raised by a single rate, as other town taxes, for build- ing the meeting house, apj3ointing a committee to contract for the same, and arranging the details of the new building. They also voted a reward of £10, for the apprehension and conviction of the incendiary who set fire to the old house. At another town meeting, on the 22d of December, in accord- ance with an article in the warrant, the petition of Jonathan Deming and others, inhabitants of the westerly part of the town (who by this means once more endeavored to have the meet- ing-house erected in the centre of the town), was rejected; and other propositions for changing the location were again voted down. Deming and his associates now a})plied to the legislature, praying for the appointment of a committee " to view the said town at the expense of the petitioners, and to order where the meeting-house, voted by the said town to be erected, shall be placed, or that the said town may be divided into two parishes." On the 3d of February, the General Court ordered notice to be served, by copy, on the town clerk, returnable the seven- teenth. In the mean time, the town chose a committee, consist- ing of Josiah Newell, Jonathan Day, Nathaniel Fisher, Timothy Newell and Josiah Eaton, to make answer to this petition. At the time appointed, the petition and answer being considered, the former was dismissed, by a unanimous vote of the Council in which, however, the House non-concurred, and a joint committee consisting of Messrs. Lincoln and Greenleaf, of the House, and Dexter, of the Council, was thereupon appointed to "hear the parties and report what may be proper to be done." Tlie report of this committee seems to have been kept alive by a joint order of March 9, 1774, by which all unfinished business was " to have the same day in ihe next session of the General Court; "and, accordingly, the report of a majority of the committee, that the petition be dismissed, was accepted by the Council and sent down to the House, for concurrence. May 28, 1774. What further action was taken by the General Court, and what further was done by the committee, upon this petition, does not appear in the state records ; but from an entry in the town rec- ords, it appears that the judgment of this committee was, " that the meeting-house should stand at or near the second centre, in order to accommodate the town. It is probable that all legisla- tive proceedings on this petition, ceased upon the presentation of the following petition : — " To his Excellency Thomas Gage Esq., Capt.

Therefore, Ordered,Th.at the Consideration of the within Petition, and the Answer, and all Matters relative thereto, be referred to the third Wednesday of the next Session of the General Court." — Souse Journal^ p. 106. On the fourth of June, 1776, at a town meeting, the vote of October 3rd, relative to setting off the inhabitants of the westerly part of the town, was reconsidered, and it was voted to renew proposals to the petitioners; and Josiah Eaton, Nathaniel Fisher, Timothy Newell, Michael Metcalf and Jonathan Day were chosen, "to draw up said projiosals." On the 26th of June, the legislature postponed the petition, answer, "and all matters relative thereto, to the third Wednesday of the next session;" and on the 11th of Sejitember, still another postponement was ordered, " to the third Wednesday of the next session, agreeable to the request of the parties." It does not appear that the subject was further considered Dntil the next General Court. On the lltli of June, 1777, a joint com- mittee, consisting of John Whetcomb, of the Council, and Messrs. Wood and Sewell^ of the House, was appointed, "to consider the petition of the inhabitants of the towns of Needham and Natick, and to hear the parties, and report what is proper to be done thereon." The report of this committee was made and accepted the same day, and Messrs. Powell and Palmer, of the Council, and Wood, Nichols and Kimball, of the House, were appointed "for the purpose mentioned in the report." As this report has not been found, its ptirport can only be gathered from subsequent orders and votes. From these it appears that it recommended the appointment of a committee "to repair the towns of Needham and Natick," hear the parties, and report measures for a settle- ment of the contention between the two parties in the town of Needham, and their neighbors, of Natick, who were opposed to a union with the dissatisfied inhabitants of the former town, — the petition of the latter having been, on the 12th, referred to this committee. On the 17th, Daniel Davis, of the Council, was ap- pointed on this committee, in place of Joseph Palmer, excused. On the first of July, the committee last named submitted their report, which was read and accepted by both Houses. It is probable that this report was merely the draught of the bill of this act, accompanied by a verbal introduction, since this bill ap- pears to have had its first reading in the Council on that day, and was assigned to the next day for a second reading. Here the matter rested until the third session, when, on the 12th of September, the House assigned the 17th, "to take into consideration the report" above mentioned; and, on the 18th, HISTORY OF NEEDHAM. the report was committed, for further oonsi<1eration, to n joint committee, oonsistiiij; uf John Taylor, of the C'<»uncil, ami Mr. NiU'S mikI Col.

In the sixth session, the subject was revived, and, evidently by common consent, and without discussion, the bill whiph, in July previous, had been read in the Council, was, on the 23rd of April, read a first time, in the House, and was there j^assed to be en- grossed, and went up to the Council, for concurrence, on the next day. In the Council it was read, a first time, on the 24th, and, on the 25th, it was read a second time,and passed, in concurrence, to be engrossed. It was passed to be enacted, by the House, April 27th, and, on the 28th, by the Council. CHAPTER III. war of the revolution. By C. C. Greenwood, Esq. In the first battle of the war of the Revolution five citizens of Needham sacrificed their lives, and "cemented with their blood the foundation of American liberty." In proportion to its po|)- ulation Needham suffered more severely than any other town except Lexington. Three companies with full ranks hastened to the combat. Ca])t. Kingsbury's company numbered forty men, Capt. Aaron Smith's seventy men, Capt. Robert Smith's seventy- five men, one hundred and eighty-five in all. It is probable that few, if any, able-bodied men remained at home. The news of the battle reached Needham about nine o'clock in the morning, the messenger passing through the town to Dover and Dedham. The East Company commanded by Capt. Robert Smith, immedi- ately assembled at the meeting-house and marched to Watertown where refreshments were furnished. They then hastened on to the scene of action, where they did efiicient service in harassing the British troops in their hurried retreat from Lexington and Concord. There is a tradition that the alarm was given at the west part of the town by a man who rode through the place bare-headed. At that time Ephraim Bullard kept a tavern on tlie Sherborn road. This house stood near where the stone lodge at the en- trance to the college grounds now stands. Bullard went up on the hill near by, and discharged a gun three times as a signal. Great fires were made in the house and bullets moulded, the women assisting in the work. The men were sup- HISTORY OF NEEDHAM. '10 nlieil and sent off as fast as possible. It is said that the "West S'«'t'(lh:un nuMi reaclu'il tlu* kociic of conflict a little in a:my, haviiitx rccfivcd the alarm earlier.

Samuel West, who was the minister of the town in 1775.* "Clouds and thick darkness at this period threatened an im- pending storm to these American colonies. Every week and al- most every day, produced something new, either to manifest or to increase the irritation of the people. Mobs were continually rising, and some of our best men were dragged from their houses, ar- raigned before the basest and meanest members of society, and treated with every mark of indignity. In a boiling cauldron, the scum and filth naturally rose to the top, while that which was most valuable as naturally sank to the bottom. The measures pursued by the government in Great Britain were precisely such as to keep up the former without any tendency to accomplish their purpose. On the 19th of April, 1775, the storm burst upon us in such a manner as to produce the utmost consternation and distress, both to the British and Americans who witnessed the scene. I shall not detail the circumstances which attended the tragic aiFair any further than as they are immediately connected with the object of the memoirs, which is not to give a history of the times any further than as events relate to or immediately affect myself and family. In the night after the 18th of April, a detachment of the British troops marched out of Boston for the purpose of se- curing to themselves or destroying the provisions, etc., which had been deposited at Concord by order of the provincial government. They in part affected their purpose but were soon attacked by our people, and a continual skirmish was kept up during the march from Concord to Boston. About one hundred on both sides were killed, and many were wounded. The news reached us about nine o'clock a. m. The East Company in Needham met in my house, as part of the military stores were deposited with me; they then supplied themselves, and by ten o'clock all marched for the place of action, with as much spirit and resolu- tion as the most zealous friend to the cause could have wished for. We could easily trace the march of the troops from the smoke which arose over them, and could hear from my house the re- *Rev. Samuel West, D.

CHAPTER IV. VOTES DURING THE REVOLUTIONARY PERIOD. By George K. Clarke, Esq. The muster-roll in the State archives give the names of upwards of three hundred Needham men who served in the war of the Revo- lution. A large number marched to Lexington, and others assisted in the fortification of Dorchester Heights, or did guard duty on Castle Island and at other places about Boston. The town had its quota of soldiers at Ticonderoga, and in the Rhode Island campaign, and of " the three years' men" many served their full time, and some even more, and doubtless participated in the principal battles and witnessed the great historical events of the war. Men were raised to recruit the " Northern army," and that on Hudson's River, and prominent citizens of Needham, of whom Col. William Mcintosh was the most conspicuous, served as officers in different places. There were doubtless other soldiers from this town whose names are either not found upon the rolls, or could only be found by an exhaustive search. When it it is considered that in 1775 the population of the town was less than a thousand, and that the people were farmers with but little personal property or ready money, it will be possible to form some idea of the great sacri- fice made by the patriots. Few towns were more prompt in fur- nishing the required supplies, or in raising their quota of men. The public action taken by the town during the great struggle for a national existence cannot be better illustrated than by the following extracts from the town records, which furnish ample ev- idence how nobly Needham did her part in the war, and what privations her sturdy yeomen must have borne to meet the con- stant drain of money and supplies which they cheerfully voted. August 31, 1774, the town chose Capt. Eleazer Kingsbery, Capt. Lemuel Pratt, Mr. Jonathan Deming, Mr. Samuel Daggett and Capt. Caleb Kingsbury a committee " to attend a county con- vention at the house of Mr. Woodward, innholder in Dedham, on Tuesday, the sixth day of September next, at ten o'clock, before noon, to deliberate and determine upon all matters as the distressed circumstances of this province may require." September 30, 1774, Capt. Eleazer Kingsbery was chosen a del- egate to the Provincial Congress, to meet at Concord, "the second Tuesday of October next," and January 26, following, he was again chosen agreeably to a recommendation by the Congress, December 10, 1774, to the towns to choose members. March 23, 1775, the town voted that the collectors of province taxes, who had not already paid over the money to Hon. Harrison Gray, Esq.

Robert Fuller, the town clerk, and is followed by an order of Council that the same be " printed, and a copy sent to the minister of each parish of every denomination within this State, and that they severally be required to read the same to their respective congregations, as soon as divine service is ended, in the afternoon on the first Lord's Day after they shall have received it ; and after such pub- lication thereof to deliver said declaration to the clerks of their several towns, or districts, who are hereby required to record the same in their respective town's, or district's books, there to remain as a perpetual memorial thereof. March 10, 1777, Mr. William Smith, Lieut. Ebenezer Fuller, and Mr. Joseph Daniell, Jr., were chosen a " Committee of Cor- respondence, Inspection and Safety." May 26, 1777, the town expressed their opinion that the Coun- cil and House of Representatives should " 2:)ostpone coming into a new form of government at present," because of the " war still raging." August 15, 1777, voted to jDay a bounty of twenty pounds each to those enlisting to reinforce the Northern army. December 15, 1777, Thomas Fuller, John Bird, and Josiah Wai'e were chosen a committee to provide for the families of those men who had enlisted for three years, or for the war. The town also accepted the reports of committees relating to soldiers who had served near Boston in 1775 and 1776, at Ticonderoga in 1776, at York and at Castle Island, and voted eight shillings per month to those men who went to the islands near Boston in 1776, and four pounds each to those who went to Providence in May, 1777. Lieut. Moses Bullard was allowed £6, 13s, 4d " for his go- ing to Ticonderoga," Lieut. Oliver Mills, the same for his going to York, in December, 1776, and Lieut. Enoch Kingsbery, £3, 6s, 8d, for going to York. February 6 and 9, 1778, the selectmen granted orders on the town treasurer to two hundred and twenty-nine persons for ser- vices or money paid during the war. The amounts averaged about £6. March 9, Josiah Eaton, Henry Dewing and Ebenezer Newell were chosen a " Committee of Correspondence, Inspection and Safety." In 1778 the town paid for clothes, shoes, etc., furnished the army, and May 6th of that year a committee was chosen to hire men " at the best method they can " to reinforce General Wash- HISTORY OF NEEDHAM. 37 ington and the nrmy at Hudson's River.

May 29, 1780, the town voted to choose a committee of five " to hire men in the publick service of the war, if any shall be wanting," and Aaron Smith, Jr., Eleazer Fuller, Josiah Newell, Jr., Enoch Parker and Amos Fuller were chosen. It was also voted to empower the committee to hire money, if necessary. June 6, 1780, Rev, Mr. Samuel West, Nathaniel Fisher, Michael Metcalf, Capt. Aaron Smith, Josiah Newell, Esq., Samuel Daggett, Jonathan Smith, Robert Fuller, Jr., and Moses Fisk, the com- mittee chosen to report on the acceptance of the " Form of Gov- ernment " proposed for the State, reported favorably on all the articles but the third, which, in their opinion, was inconsistent wath religious liberty. They also expressed the opinion that the writ of habeas corpus ought to be suspended in time of war only, and for not more than six months, June 16, 1780, it was voted to raise, by a tax, the necessary money to hire men for the war, and Samuel Alden, John Slack, Jr., and Robert Fuller, Jr., were added to the committee chosen May 29th. July 17th, 1780, the town voted a "tax of thirty thousand pounds in addition to the thirty thousand pounds already granted, to be raised this year to hire men," December, 1780, a tax of £23,000 was voted " to purchase the beef that is now called for from the town of Needham, by order of the General Court."

July 9, 1781, .£220 hard money was voted to purchase the beef required of the town by the General Court, and Timothy Newell, Ensign Josiah Upham and Capt. Isaac Goodenow were chosen to make the purchase. The committee to hire soldiers was reelected. Aaron Smith, Jr., was added thereto, and £180 hard money, or the equivalent in paper money was voted for the use of the committee. March 18, 1782, it was voted to raise, by tax, £550 to pay the bounty of the three years men. HISTUKV or MinilAN' Col. Willmm Mcintosh* was horn in Dewii)in the raniily of ('apt.

Soon after this appointment he was raised to the office of lieutenant-colonel. This office he held at the commencement of the Revolution, and discharged the duties of it in the first action of the Avar, that well-known action which took place in this vicinity. On the 14th of February, 1776, by the council of this State, he was appointed colonel of the first regiment of militia in the county of Suffolk. Under this appointment he went into the army at different stages of the war, and was engaged in some of the important battles which were fought. In time of engage- ment he was noted for his coolness, fortitude and bravery. While he was guarded and prudent in his measures, he was also courageous and firm in his conduct. His military talents and ser- vices caused him to be noticed and respected. By his companions in arms he was much approved; commanders of a higher grade paid him a tribute ; and even by the great Washington, according to correct information, he was called a good officer and a brave man. It is, therefore, no more than justice to his memory that he should be enrolled in that catalogue of worthies whose patriot- ism and heroic exertions, under the ausjiices of Providence, secured the freedom and independence of our country. But the public services of our friend were not confined to the field, he was also much employed in the cabinet. The public con- cerns of this town and of this parish have been often committed to his trust. For twelve years he served the town in the caj^acity of a selectman, and five years he was a representative of it in General Court, during which period he was occasionally appointed on many important committees, and was esteemed a valuable member of the Legislature. We have yet to add, and what may be ranked among the more important acts of his public life, that in the year 1779 he was chosen and acted as a member of the convention which formed the constitution of this commonwealth. And in the year 1788 he was also a member of the convention in this State apj^ointed for the purpose of taking into consideration the national constitution, and voted for its adoption. Col Mcintosh was naturally a man of firmness and stability. Possessing a well-poised constitution, he was remarkably even and uniform in his deportment ; small things did not move him, though he was by no means destitute of passion, and was suscepti- ble of strong feelings, yet he had the government of himself. He mixed prudence with fortitude, and was habitually guarded and exemplary in what he said and did.

The publication of , tlie I^eedham Chronicle and Wellesley ^c?yer^tstfr, the first paper printed in this town, was founded in 1874 by George W. Southworth, a native of Stoughton, this coun- try, who had previous journalistic experience at Stoughton and Marlborough, in response to the ex]iress desire for a local paper by the most prominent citizens. The Chronicle enjoys a circulation in neighboring towns. At the incorporation of Wellesley the words " and Wellesley Advertiser " were dropped from the heading and an edition called the Wellesley Advertiser issued since that time for Wellesley. The Chronicle is still under the management of Mr. Southworth. VALUATION 1888.

A new and commodious stone R. R. Station has just been completed. It was built by a committee elected by the citizens of the town, and the most of the money was raised by voluntary contributions. A new Town Library has been started, six trustees were elected and an appropriation made, at the last annual town meeting. The trustees have secured the West Hall in Moseley Block, books have been purchased, the room put in fine condition, and a very convenient library and reading room is now open to the public. The new Congregational Church is a large fine building, which is an ornament to the place. The First parish have also completed a fine and well arranged vestry with Sunday school rooms, ladies' rooms, etc. There are a number of dwelling houses in process of erection. Many new families, mostly business men from Boston, have settled here. The leasing of the large factory by the Springfield Bicycle Company, brings a su])erior class of mechanics, and gives an extra boom to the prospects of the town. ♦Wellesley setoff, 1881.

Their properties are purely medicinal, and they are invaluable as an altera- tive when used in treatment for chronic ailments of the viscera. They also be- come an active agent in overcoming obstinate torpidity of the liver where taken for that purpose. I desire to inform you that I have used Dr. Wm. Clarke's Restorative Bit- ters for acute attacks of bowel disturbance, caused as I supposed by chill or indigestion with excellent effect. One dose oftentimes completely restores my system to its normal condition. G. PETTEE, Newton Upper Falls. HiGHLANDVILLE, DeC. 12, 1887. Madam — I have for a long time been troubled with my liver and kidneys, suffering greatly thereby. My symptoms have been pains in the back across my kidneys, dizziness, indigestion, etc. Prescribed remedies have failed to give me any benefit. Having heard Dr. W. Clarke's Bitters spoken of so high- ly I began its use, and all the symptoms speedily disappeared. It certainly did wonders for me, and I cordially commend it. Yours truly, J. FRANCIS MUNROE, Inspector of the Board of Fire Underwriters. Mrs. Putnam — We have sold Dr. Clarke's Bitters now for more than twenty years, and know them to be an article of great merit. We have had a large and constant demand for them. We know of families who have not been with- out them in the house for years, and would not be if possible to procure them. H. A. SHERMAN, Grocer, Newton Upper Falls, Mass. This is to to certify that I have used Dr. W. Clarke's Restorative Bitters in my family for a number of years, and have found them a most excellent remedy for biliousness and bowel complaint. I shall not use anything else so long as this remedy is in the market Resp'v yours, R. S. MACKINTOSH, Jr., 146 Blue Hill Ave., Boston. CQi^s.

June 22 the first baptism took place, at which four candi- dates were immersed and received into the church. December 17 Rev. A. F. WiUard accepted a call to become its pastor. He remained with the church nine years, although, on account of ill health he was absent about a year. All this time the church was in del)t, and the people poor. But he labored faithfully for the love of the cause, part of the time without any stated salary. On account of ill health he was obliged to resign, November 12, 1865. During his term of office twenty-eight were received from other churches, and eighteen baptized. At this time, by reason of the recent death of Rev. A. Har- vey, and the removal from the town of Deacon George How- land, the church was in a very weak state. They engaged the services of Rev. S. F. Smith, D. D., of Newton. The first five years he was with the church hardly money enough could be raised to meet the running expenses, and in the autumn of 1869, when Deacon John Burnhamand the clerk, Brother G. F. de Leesdenier, died, it seemed as though the enterprise must be given up. It was at this time that the male mem])ers were so few that one man. Deacon AYilliam Moseley, held every office in the church, and was also super- intendent of the Sunday school. But the faithful efforts and the self denial of the few left were not in vain, and soon the church was strengthened by the addition of new mem- bers. In the year 1871 sixteen were baptized and five added by letter, the church debt was paid, principal and interest amounting to seven hundred and thirty -four dollars, and early in the next year preparations for finishing the audience room were commenced, and by June all was completed and handsomely furnished, at the expense of four thousand, one hundred and fifty-four dollars, about one thousand of which was raised by the exertions of the pastor in other places. The house was dedicated, free from debt, June 5, 1872, and a vote passed that the pews should be free. The sermon on this occasion was preached by Rev. William Lamson, D. D., of Brookline. August 1, 1873, the pastor resigned, having labored with marked success for seven years, twenty-six having been re- ceived by baptism and fourteen by letter.

Coolidge, of the New England conference, was appointed pastor. Previous to this time many influen- tial families of the vicinity had been connected with the Methodist church in Newton Upper Falls ; its pastors had held frequent religious services among them, resulting, es- pecially in 1865-66, in a large addition from Highlandville to the Upper Falls church, so that on the organization of the former thirty-four members were united with it by letter from the latter. The society, from the spring of 1867 to the summer of 1876, worshipped in a hall in the center of the village. Its business, a fine woollen and silk hosiery, was prosperous, and its population, mostly English immi- grants, increased rapidly, and the question of building a house of worship became one of deeply interesting discussion. In 1875 it took a business form, and in the summer of 1876 a beautifully situated and convenient church edifice was com- pleted. The enterprise, from its initiation to its consumma- tion, was inspired by the pastor. Rev. G. R. Bent. The cost of the site, edifice and furnishing was ten thousand dollars. Soon after its dedication the business of the village *By Rev. John Peterson.

The Lodore is composed of Englishmen their sons and grandsons, of sound bodily health and mind, over 18 and under 50, of good moral character and believing in the Supreme Being. The weekly dues are 15 cents per week, and the sick benefits are five dollars per Aveek, and 50 dollars are allowed as funeral expenses for a member and half that for his wife. The great fundamental principles of the Order, are to enable every member first to make provisions for sickness and death whilst in health and vigor, by a prudent forethought and saving of a small portion of his income to make prudent provision for himself , thus preventing himself from becoming an object of charity, as what he receives from the Lodge is what he has frugally placed there. A connection with this Order gives him the opportunity of enjoying the society of his own countrymen which to all true Englishmen is a great desideratum and helps to keep fresh in the memory the reminiscences of the happy days he spent in dear Old Eng- land. He, by thus mingling with those of his own national- ity helps to make the fleeting days in this country of his adoption pass more pleasantly. The cause which led to the formation of this noble Order has been referred to and was laudable and commendable in its purpose, and should com- mend itself to every true Englishman in the U. S., both rich and poor. The rich are needed for their aid and in- fluences and we are rejoiced to know that that class of our countrymen are fast joining our ranks. United Order of the Golden Cross.

The subject of suffrage for woman had been in the minds of many of the women of Needham, speakers had been in- vited to bring it before the public, and the " Woman's Journal " with its clear and enlightening views of the case, had come into some of the homes ; and in June 12th. 1873, a few friends, believing that organization was needed to call attention to the subject, assembled at the house of Mrs. Eliza W. La Croix, and framed a constitution and by-laws, to which by the end of that year fifty names (thirty-seven women and thirteen men) were signed as members of the " Needham Woman Suffrage Club."
