In 1673 or 74, the first settlement was com- menced, a tract of land eight miles square having been purchased of the Indians, for "twelve pounds lawful money of New England." During King Philip's War, in 1675, the town was deserted, and afterwards burnt by the Indians. In 16S4, the second settlement was commenced, and the name of Worcester adopted ; but after a few years the danger from the Indians caused a second abandonment. In 171.3 the third and permanent settlement was commenced by Jonas Rice and his family; since which time the number of inhabitants has steadily increased, till instead of "about sixty families," the town has been found capable of sustaining a population of upwards of 1-5,000, and its capabilities are by no means exhausted. There were in Worcester in 1718, if the evidence of the proprietary records is to be credited, fifty-eight dweiling houses. Tradition says they were humble edifice.^, principally of logs, one story high, with ample stone chimneys. Some were fur- nished with windows of diamond glass, wheie the resources of the proprietor af- forded means for procuring such luxury ; the light was admitted in many, through the dim transparency of oiled paper. Worcester, probably, contained at this pe- riod, about two hundred souls. In 1722 the town was incorporated. On the 2Sth of September of that year the in- habitants convened in their first town meeting, when Jonas Rice was chosen Town Clerk, Nathaniel Moore, Nathaniel Jones, Benjamin Flagg, Jonas Rice, and John Gray, Selectmen ; Daniel Heywood, Treasurer. In 1812 President Dwight gave the following description, which has not ye* ceased to be correct : "The houses are generally well built; frequently handsome : and very rarely small, old or unrepaired. Few towns in New England exliibit so imiforra an appearance of neatness and taste, or contain so great a proportion of good buildings, and so small a proportion of those which are indiflferent, as Wor- cester." March 18, 1S4S, the citizens of Worcester, by a vote of 1026 to 487, accepted the cits' charter which was granted by the Legislature of the State, February 29, of tiie same year. Thefcopulation and valuation at several difTerent dates, have been as follows : .:#r. Population. Valuation. Year. Population. Valuation.

The Worcester AlmanaCj Directory and Business Advertiser. The question has been frequently asked, why publish the Directory at the beginning of Winter, instead of in the Summer, as is done in many other places ? Tlie reasons given in reply have generally proved as satisfactory to the inquirers as they are to the editor and publisher ; and are briefly as follow. Although the first of April is more particularly the moving day in Worcester, as elsewhere, it has been satisfactorily ascertained that not more than one tenth part of the annual changes of residence and business occur at that time ; but that owing to the erection of new tenements, and the changes in old ones, the moving business continues brisk through the summer and autumn, until checked by the stern approach of winter ; thence to the first of April, the people are more settled and stationary than at any other season of the year. And consequently a Directory made correct up to the month of October would remain nearly correct for a much longer time than it would if made up to the first of April. Another reason is, that the Autumn is the most favorable time for the publica- tion of the Business portion of the work. The plan of publication is different from any thing of the kind with which we are acquainted. By printing and cir- culating a larger edition than is printed of the Directory of any other city in the Union, except New York, a better circulation is given to Business Advertisments in Worcester County than is possible by any other method. This circulation we are enabled to give by the very low price at which it is sold ; and we are enabled to sell thus low by adding the receipts from Advertisers to the receipts from sales of the Directory. Without the liberal advertising patronage received since the first publication of tlie Directory, it could not be sustained. Now if the names were taken after the April removals, and the Directory got out, as in Boston and some other places, in June or July, when business Is dull and growing duller, there would be little in- ducement for business men to advertise, and this important feature in the work failing, it would be no object for any publisher to incur the trouble, expense and risk of furnishing to the citizens of Worcester, a cheap but full Directory. In some few cases, each year since the Directory has been issued, complaint has been made of the omission of some names, and the want of correctness in re- lation to others. And it would be little short of a miracle if in collecting thirty- sij: hundred names ^ with the residences, &c. frequently from ignorant foreigners, or careless natives, who answer the call of our messengers at the doors where they seek information, sonie mistakes should not occur. Often the names of boarders cannot be given with any degree of correctness. Sometimes, a family will be from home, and the inquiries are answered by a neighbor, — not always right. Possibly sometimes in passing from one side of a street to the other, a tenement may be overlooked ; though great care is taken to avoid this. And then it has happened, that in copying and arranging the great multitude of names, one would pass unnoticed, or some other errors creep in. And further, printers are mostly mortals, and they do occasionally commit blunders, as well as other men ; with this disadvantage over most other people, that their blunders are perpetua- ted on the printed page, while a little putty, or paint, or other appliance, will effectually cover if not cure the more serious mistakes of other workmen. But notwithstanding all the flaws that have been pointed out by sharp-sighted critics, — vexing enough to all concerned, — we fearlessly challenge comparison, in regard to fullness and correctness, with any other similar work, wherever pub- lished. It is said that " misery loves company," and we know that all Direc- tory makers can sympathize with us in the knowledge of the fact that our works are something short of perfection. We are thankful for every assistance rendered to make our work more complete, and shall, as heretofore, spare neither labor or expense that may be useful in making the Directory for the coming season as near perfect as "it can be. If those persons who have heretofore been unrepresented or w^srepresented in our pages, will hand in, seasonably, inioriting^ their names with the desired informa- tion, they may be pretty certain of appearing in print next October, according to their wishes.

He intends doing a Wliolesale and Retail Dry Goods Business. His Stock is entirely new, was all purchased within the last ten (lays, mostly at the large Auction Sales recently held in New York and Boston, and owing to the state of the money market, lie has been able to lay in his Stock for about ONE HALF the cost of importation. He is now opening a beautiful assortment of rich all wool Cashmere Shawls, which for richness of design, &.C., cannot b«- surpassed. They nuist have cost the importers ^40.

He intends keeping every thing in tlie way of Housekeeping Goods, usually kept in a Dry Goods Store.

The citizens of Worcester and vicinity who may fa- vor him with a call, will not be importuned to buy against their wishes. HENRY H. CHAMBERLIN'S ' DRY GOODS, MILIilNJEMY, AND CARPET WARE-HOUSE. This is by fur the oldest, as it is one of the largest Establish- ments in the City, having been originated by the present proprietor in 1834 — 14 years ago.

No^44 Front Street, Warden Block, Among tire many new and beautiful buildings, erected in this city lor the purposes of trade, none are more conspicuous than the new Block on Front Street, but recently finished. One of these stores is now occupied by the above firm, who have opened with a new and superior stock of Family Groceries, and from what we have learned, are well prepared to furnish families on very reasonable terms, with every article appertaining to their business. The store presents a very neat appearance, and the proprietors are young men of good business habits, who are in hopes of ob- taining a fair proportion of public patronage, by honorable com- petition, without resorting to any petty chicanery or deception. We would recommend to every person in the vicinity, to give the new comers a good reception, encourage them in their enter- prise, and we are so far confident as to warrant them to give satisfaction. They offer a large assortment at the cheapest cash prices, and from a cursory glance at their store, we should judge their pros- pects to be flattering, and success beyond a doubt, On Copper and Steel Plate, Wood, &c. &c, >y.

The object of tliis Association is to afford mutual aid in •the purchase of the necessaries of Hfe, by uniting our capital and buying in lariro quantities, as do the wealthy class. And more, to extend the Union throuf^diout the land, by means of local Divisions, so as to l^e able to obtain these necessaries withoui: paying any profit after our goods leave the hands of the producer. To this end, these Divisions are extending themselves in every direction : even at the far west, the peo- ple are opening their eyes to this enterprise. There nre al- ready Divisions in Michigan, Ohio, and other western Slates, thereby enabling us to make mutual exchanges between the wheat grower in the west, and the mechariic in the east ; and giving us the j)owcr eventually to annihilate that curse to the consumer, spkculation. There are already Divisions in ten o^Jhe different States, and when we consider how recently J^is enterprise was Hist conceived, its growth has l)een^«ly astonishing. At the head of these subordinate Divisioiis, or Unions, there is a Su|)reme Division, composed of delegates from the subordinates, one delegate for every 25 members. Any man of good moral character, who has some visible means of support, and who does not use intoxi- cating drink as a beverage, may become a member by pay- ing an admission fee of three dollnrs, and ftirnishing in addi- tion, the sum of ten dollars as a trading fund ; the latter to be withdrawn at the will of the member, said member for- feiting his trade by such withdrawal. Division No. 12, located at 51 Main Street, in this city, has been in operation about 15 months, and for the year 15. ending Dec. 31st, their trade has amounted to something more than Jj' 16,000, two thirds of this being from non-mem- bers, who have paid an advance fiom cost of ten per cent., while members receive their goods at four per cent, above cost. The estimate of the Financial Committee for the past year, shows a saving to the few members of this Division of up- wards of .^'500,00. Our trade, thus far, has been confined to West India Goods and Groceries, but will be extended to other articles as fast as we can be warranted in doing so. It is not the object of this communication to enter the advertising field of competition, but to show the laboring class that their duty to tliemsclvcs and their fellow laborers, requires of them that they should unite with us in carrying out the great principles for which we are associated, and help us to retain the title which has been applied to us, that of *' regulators of the trade." That we are entitled to it, facts will show. It has been said by dealers in this city, that were it not for the Union Store, they could sell some of their goods 28 per cent, higher than the Union charge for the same article. We have made these statements to show the public what would be done were it not for the Working Men's Protectivf^ Union, and ask that they will look at the matter, and decide whether they will longer support speculation, when they can as well do their own business, and thereby save a large profit to themselves. With these remarks we will leave you, only adding, that when you can come forward and subscribe to our Constitution and become one of us, we shall be glad to see you, knowing that IN UNION THERE IS STRENGTH. 10 CITY CASH SHOE STORE.
