ANCIENT FIRE BRICK.
One of Earliest Specimens at Essex
institute, Salem, Mass.

What IS regarded as one of the earli-
est specimens of original iron works in
the United States is the Pickering
"fireback, in possession of the Essex
institute at Salem. 1t was cast at the
old Saugus iron works for the home of
John Pickering in Salem at a period
when iron foundries Were rare in New
England. The first house of John Pick
ering, the ancestor of the Salem Pick
erings was built in 1862. in Broad
street, Salem. Its architectural
scheme brings to mind the style of the
English manor dwelling. Timothy
Pickering was born in the house, July
II, las. great great grandson of John
Pickering, who came from England
and settled in Salem in 1912. At the
time of Timothy's birth the house was
a century old, and when he was So he
enjoyed referring to tie ancient man
sion of his forefathers, it's engaging
appearance, the good condition of its
big, adz-heWn timbers, and the dia-
mond shaped window panes. The
Pickering home abounds in high-class
furniture many rare examples of
which are scattered about among va
rious possessions The old fireback
bears the date of its manufacture, 1860
on its face.
In that long ago the Saugus iron
works had been in operation since 1915
The house. or at least most of the
original structure, is still standing on
its first site. and according to a writ
er of 1894 it is still a roomy and a
comfortable dwelling" one of the his
toric homes of old Salem.
That the firehaek was regarded as
something of a masterpiece IS shown
by the initials of John and Alice Pick
erins on each of the top corners.-Bos-
ton Globe.

Immediately after the exercises, a spe-
cial meeting of the society was held at
the office of DR.. Thayer on Main street,
and the following resolutions We're adopt
ed:
Death the common lot of man, is ever
new and forever strange, notwithstanding
we constantly touch shoulders with it
from the beginning to the end of human
experience.
To one who has finished his life's work
it comes in the fullness of years with
physical and mental power limited, not
entirely unheralded nor altogether as an
unwelcome event. When. however it APP
proaches the Budding flower of expeeta-
ton and promise we find ourselves APP
palled by its touch and are unable to I'M
derstand the inscruptable operation of a
design which by its philosophy can pro-
duce such results.
With these thoughts and impressions
we stand at the open grave of our friend
and confrere. DR. Arthur s. Fletcher,
whose death occurred in this city Friday
last. following short illness, and reflect
with sorrow and regret upon his early
and untimely going.
Possessed OF strong ana beautiful lIdliS
Of character kindly spirit and noble
nature fully equipped for the work of his
profession, beloved by his associates, he
had endeared himself as a man and a
physician to all with whom he came in
contact. With every reason to expect a
long and useful life, his associates of the
Watervlle Clinical Society are dismayed
and filled with regret at the sudden and
early ending of career SO auspiciously
begun and full of unusual promise.
Fully mindful of the absolute made
quacy of language to convey or express
either sorrow or sympathy, we, neverthe-
less, desire to register an expression OF
our keen appreciation of his many manly
and lovable qualities, for the life he had
| lived among us and of which he had been
an increasingly important factor. While
we record and make manifest these SEN
| timents of regard and sorrow, we would
also remember those whose hearts are al
| together bowed down because of this
event and extend to them, the widow and
| family, our sincerest sympathy in theii
paramount and overwhelming grief.
! Voted: That this memorial be spread
upon the records of the society anu a
| copy forwarded to the widow and family
of our late associate of revered memory

she will. She directs him to an
