In* memory of Deac. Thomas Bidwell, who departed this life Dec. 3d, 1802, in the64th year of his age. Unshaken in the great truths of the Gospel, in this he was asan iron pillar, and steadfast as a wall of brass. He lived and died in the confidence ofhis brethren. But though dead, he yet speaketh to the Church, to his family and to all who knew him. Thou tomb shall safe retain thy sacred trust,Till life divine reanimate his dust. 72 EAST HARTFORD.

The most strikingfeature in the appearance of East Hartford street, is the long row oflarge spreading elms situated in the center of the street; these, withthe shade and other trees on both sides, afford in summer a delightfulprospect to the eye, which is rarely equalled. The meadows in this town, adjoining the Connecticut, contain anextensive range of some of the best land in the State. In the springseason these meadows are usually overflowed by the freshets of theriver, which render them very productive.
