e first public gathering in the new building. The winter term (1819-20) was kept by Daniel Russell, who had been in charge for three seasons, and at the close the commendatory word was that the school had passed an examination which was highly creditable to themselves and their instructor. Paige, in his History of Cambridge, p. 650, states that Daniel Russell was eldest son of Philemon R. and Martha (Tufts) Russell, born about 1793; long in office at the State's prison, Charlestown; died Ipswich, December 11, 1849, aged fifty-six. Wyman's Charlestown makes the same statement, but we have it on the best authority that Philemon R. Russell had no such son. The settlement of the estate of Mrs. Russell's father, wherein the grandchildren are named, confirms the fact that there was no Daniel. I have come no nearer than this in my attempt to learn who Daniel Russell, the teacher, was. At this time the school had an enrollment of ninety-two. It continued to increase in numbers, as th

Major Sylvester Osborn, then 16 years old (he was the youngest member of his company), was one of the guard detached from a Danvers militia company, which marched in advance of their regiment to Menotomy, and had charge of two baggage-wagons, loaded with provisions and ammunition, which were taken with eleven British soldiers on their way to meet Lord Percy. One man was killed, and another wounded, before they surrendered. The prisoners were lodged in Ipswich gaol.—Note to King's Danvers Address. Hanson, Hist. Danvers, says the company to which Osborn belonged captured a wagon near Medford, which was carrying supplies to the British. He and others were detached to escort the prize to a place of safety, and they heard the report of the fire-arms, immediately after leaving the main body.—See Hist. Danvers, pp. 106-107, 108, 217-218. Gordon, Hist. Am. Rev., i. 313, speaking of the British in retreat, says, Before they reached Menotomy, a few Am

two persons chosen to confer about a public stock; he had a house near the Wear burnt in August of the same year; and on April 1, 1634, the Court granted him a farm of 500 acres between Stony Brook and Waltham Plain, in which Mount Feake was included, which was long known as the Oldham Farm. After his death the General Court ordered the land to be laid out for Matthew Cradock, of London, to whom Oldham was indebted. This farm then passed into the hands successively of Simon Bradstul, of Ipswich, Thomas Mayhew, of Watertown, and Richard Dummer, of Newbury. The latter, and his wife Frances, sold the N. E. half (250 A.) of the farm to Richard Gale. December 24, 1684, Jeremie Dummer, goldsmith of Boston (son of Richard), and Anna his wife, sold the other, West or S.
