A short distance from Brighton, on the bank of the 

 Charles river, stands one of the United States 

 arsenals, where are every day seen flying the stars 

 and stripes. The arsenal occupies forty acres of 

 ground, and contains a large amount of the munitions 

 of war. 



At Newton Corner, I called to see Dr. W. F. 

 Teulon, who formerly lived in Newfoundland. He is 

 now a Universalist minister, and also practises as a 

 physician. This place was called Nonantum by the 

 Indians. Here the red men first heard of Christian- 

 ity from the puritan apostle Eliot, in 1646, and here 

 was erected their first house of prayer.
