In Bradford, Watertown, Gardner, Mendon, and Templeton, they exceeded five dollars to each inhabitant; in Washington, six; in Somerville, seven; in West Cambridge (Arlington), eight; in Leyden, nine; in Longmeadow, ten; and in Belmont, ten. The attention of the Committee was not drawn to the work done by the women of the State; and therefore the contributions made by them in money, clothing, books, and hospital stores, are not mentioned or even referred to in the Report. The Legislative Report, from which the above extracts are taken, gives the war expenses incurred by the Commonwealth up to January, 1866. Since then they have been increased nearly two millions and a half of dollars, chiefly

at which point was an Indian stronghold or fort. At that time (before the Agawam cut through its upper mouth, a century ago) an extensive shoal stretched out from the west shore and the river was fordable at low water. After crossing the river the trail westward became the Mohawk trail. And still further west, crossing the Hudson, it was the Iroquois trail. Southward from the crossing of the Connecticut another trail on the east side led round the shoulder of Longmeadow hill through Longmeadow gate, crossed the river at Windsor, and so to Hartford. This was sometimes called the Longmeadow path. In many of the towns along the way the first settlers located their meeting-houses and town centers on the Bay path. This was clearly so in Grafton, Oxford, Charlton, Sturbridge and Brimfield. And perhaps I may speak of the settlement of Sturbridge as possibly more or less typical. J. G. Holland says: It was wonderful what a powerful interest was attached to the Bay path. It
