although particular portions are more specially designated.   The road winds up a slight rise from Tower's Bridge, and High Street, a few rods beyond, runs west to Weymouth.   Just off this street is WHITE-HORSE POND.   Free Street is opposite to High, on Main Street, and runs east to Lasell Street.   Just north of Free Street is a small conical height, called CROW HILL, formerly a famous resort for the birds of that feather.   Near by is CROW-HILL SWAMP.
   A short distance further south Main Street crosses the stream coming from Cushing's Pond by WILDER'S BRIDGE.   From this bridge to Mayse's (Liberty Pole) Hill, is GLAD-TIDINGS PLAIN.   After surmounting another rise in the road, we find on the west side the church of the Second Parish.
   This village is South Hingham, and the street is very wide and straight for a long distance, running between extensive bordering lawns and fine rows of trees.   Back of the houses on the east side is a high granite ledge, known as GLAD-TIDINGS ROCK.
   In King Philip's War, a famous hunter, John Jacob by name, went out to shoot deer near where the church now stands.   He is said to have frequently declared that he never would allow himself to he taken alive by the Indians if he encountered them.   They ambushed and shot him dead near this rock, and one tradition says that his friends, overjoyed to find that he had been killed outright and not captured to be tortured to death by the savages, called it Glad-Tidings Rock.   Another tradition recounts that a woman, lost by her friends, was discovered by them from the top of the rock, and that from this circumstance the ledge received its name.
