There were no time-tables, and the coming and departure of trains was announced by an old Revolutionary soldier, a veteran corporal, who became well known to all the boys in town, Corporal Pitman, and the local rhyme ran: "Who rings the eastern railroad bell, And makes its notes with power tell, And who can do it half so well As Corporal?" Two years afterwards the eastern railroad was ex- tended to Beverly, two miles beyond, and to accom- plish this, what appeared to our childish imaginations t...o be an enormous tunnel was dug through the centre of the town from river to river, at least fifty feet deep and still more broad, which cut the town in halves, and when it was finished and the trains ran through to Beverly and beyond, Salem had awakened from its lethargy and was really in touch with the rest of the world. We were very proud of our local celebrities, es- [49] pecially if they had attained to great national and public reputation, and one of my earliest reminis- cences is being sent home from church one hot Sun- day afternoon, at the close of the service, to make room for a grown person to attend the eulogy to be pronounced upon Doctor Bowditch, the great mathe- matician and navigator.
