To me it seems above all others the garden valley of Oregon and the most delightful place for a home. On the eastern rim of the valley, in the Cascade Mountains, about sixty miles from Medford in a direct line, is the remarkable Crater Lake, usually regarded as the one grand wonder of the region.
This early forerunning evidence of what has become a characteristic Yankee trait and habit was so annoyingly and extensively exhibited in Medford, in 1729, that an order was passed to prosecute and punish "all who cut the seats in the meeting-house."
She had been no frequenter of "gambling joints" whatever her peccadilloes; Gabrielle, he happened to know, had died some eight or ten years ago, and Mademoiselle Pauline Marie, if she had had a child, which was extremely doubtful, was the sort that sends unwelcome offspring post haste to the foundling asylum. There remained only the spurious Mrs. Medford, and she was the probability on all counts.
I'd sure give satisfaction; will you, sir will you?" "Nonsense, Adler," returned Bennett; "stay, if you like. I presume I can find use for you. But you must be paid, of course." "Not a soomarkee," protested the other almost indignantly. The next day Adler brought his chest down from the City and took up his quarters with Bennett at Medford. Though Dr.

Rotten salt pork. and in plenty. III. Health.
He rode up what is now Main Street as far as the "Neck," then took the old Cambridge road for Somerville. To escape two British officers who barred his way, he dashed across lots to the main road again and took what is now Broadway. On he went over the hill to Medford, where he aroused the Medford minute-men.
As Revere drew near, they pushed out into the moonlight, and he saw their uniforms. One of them blocked the road, the other tried to take him, and Revere, turning back, galloped first for Charlestown and then "pushed for the Medford road." Revere made the turn successfully; the officer who followed, ignorant of the locality, mired himself in a clay pond. Revere's road was now clear.
Never having visited that wide, long, deep and mainly liquid backside of the planet known broadly as the South Seas but always intending to do so, I must largely depend for my local colour upon what Ethan Pratt wrote back home to South New Medford; on that, plus what returned travellers to those parts have from time to time told me.
She would only have to remain passive. Circumstances acted for her. Miss Douglass returned, followed by Rownie carrying a tray. When the mulatto had gone, after arranging Lloyd's supper on a little table near the couch, the fever nurse drew up a chair. "Now we can talk," she said, "unless you are too tired. I've been so interested in this case at Medford.
