ancient and best endowed college,
in the United States, is 3 miles from

is a very flourishing place. It is
the seat of the county courts, and
is immediately connected with Bos-
ton by Canal bridge and the viaduct
of tbe Boston and Lowell rail-road,
over Charles river. This town was
incorporated by the name of New-

ered of admirable quality, exceed-
ed $450,000. ^# Cambridge is very
