The Boston Traveller of February
essayed to launch boom for Represent.
alive Edward l.. Osgood of Hopedale as
a candidate for the Office of Lieutenant.
Governor of Massachusetts,, but Mr.. Os.
good promptly put his foot upon the at
tempted boom in his behalf. The Trav.
eler's article was accompanied with a
picture of Mr.. Osgood, which for news
paper cut, is a very good portrait of him
as he now looks. Mr.. Osgood is a man
of wealth and liberal entertainer, and
has many friends among the prominent
politicians of Massachusetts,. He has
practically retired from business, and
though a resident of Hopedale in the
legal sense, lives in Boston twO.thirds Of
the time. He has a son in the Junior
class at Harvard College. If Mr.. Os
good ever enters the arena as candidate
for the Lieutenant Governorship, it il
safe to say that he will not choose the
Boston Traveller as the medium for an
nouncing his candidacy to the public.

"Gleason's Pictorial" for Aug. 7
1852, has a picture entitled "Pleasan
Mountain House, Denmark, OXFORD
County, Maine," the picture accom-
panying an article entitled pheasant
Mountain House." The picture wa!
evidently taken from a point at or neal
the opening near the base of the mount
ain, which could be reached by carriage
but from which the rest of the ascent o.
the mouatain had to be made on foo
or on horseback. This being the case
the house and the point whence thu
picture was taken were so far apart tina
the figure which the house cuts in thu
picture is almost nil. Speaking of thu
mountain, the article says that "mort
than forty different sheets of water car
be seen from its summit with the naked
eye. Six years ago two Boston
gentlemen, hunting upon this mountain
were so delighted with the scenery anG
so enthusiastic in their description thai
the owner was induced to erect a small
building upon its top for the temporary
rest and refreshment of those who
climbed its rugged summit. Three years
ago the mountain was bought by JOSEPH
S. Sargent. He set about erecting a large
substantial house. 1t was, of course
attended with many difficulties, but he
was persevering and energetic, and he
has now upon this lofty elevation beau.
tiful and commodious hotel, while the
mountain has become one of the most
favorite resorts in New England" The
article speaks of Lovewelrs Pond
which lies near the base of the mountain
as celebrated for the skirmish between
Capt. John Lovewell and the famous
Indian chief Paugus,'' from which it ID
evident that the writer of the article did
not know much about Lovewell's Fight
for, had he done so, he would never have
spoken of a battle which lasted all day
and which was of most desperate and
sanguinary nature as "skirmish."
