it his consent to the bill; but he told them his instructions forbade him. A similar committee waiting upon General Gage received the same answer. In the year 1770 a servant of Richard Lechmere, of Cambridge, stimulated by the general discussion of the slavery question and by the advice of some of the zealous advocates of emancipation, brought an action against his master for detaining him in bondage. The suit was decided in his favor two years before the similar decision in the case of Somerset in England. The funds necessary for carrying on this suit were raised among the blacks themselves. Other suits followed in various parts of the Province; and the result was, in every instance, the freedom of the plaintiff. In 1773 Caesar Hendrick sued his master, one Greenleaf, of Newburyport, for damages, laid at fifty pounds, for holding him as a slave. The jury awarded him his freedom and eighteen pounds.

al curios of the Medford Historical Society, and to him are due thanks for their preservation. But whence came they, is the question. Either they were brought there and buried by some one now unknown, or they were fired there from cannon; but who knows or can suggest who the artillerymen were? History records no battle nearer the spot than Bunker Hill. The British ordnance at that time had not so long range, while the direction would be highly discreditable to the gunners aboard the Somerset, British man-of-war. It is hardly to be supposed that the colonists of 1775 would have taken the trouble to carry any heavy weights to such a height to secrete from General Gage, when many secluded spots easier to dig into were to be had on level ground. Again, the fact of the broken ball would show that with the force of a projectile it hit the outcropping ledge beside which it was found, while a similar force embedded the others at various depths according to the nature of the soil th

at night. Formal dedication took place on the following Wednesday afternoon. The Rev. George C. Lorimer, late pastor of Tremont Temple, Mayor Lovering the builder, and other men of prominence made addresses at a banquet later in the day. At this dinner were over one hundred invited guests, besides those who had come to see their dream and the dream of the Rev. Mr. Abbott realized. Rev. Mr. Cambridge resigned March 5, 1899, and on November 24 of the same year Rev. Truman O. Harlow of Somerset, Mass., was called to the pastorate. He resigned January 6, 1901, to take effect on March 1, but twelve days later, on January 18th, the society chose a pulpit supply committee, which shortly reported in favor of hearing Mr. Nathan R. Wood of Newton as a candidate. He was chosen at a meeting on the 29th of March, and read his letter of acceptance the following Sabbath. Mr. Wood was not then an ordained minister, and this was to be his first charge after ordination. Thursday, April 25, a

attack, sometimes in personal encounter. Among the troops that followed the British down into Charlestown were the Minute Men of Medford. So ended the battle of April nineteenth, and while the women and children of Charlestown were fleeing in terror across the marshes to Medford, the Medford company proceeded to Cambridge, which became the headquarters of the American army. But how looked at these events Hugh Earl Percy, whose men that night recrossed the Charles in the boats of the Somerset, which swung in the tide as Paul Revere, the night before, passed under its shadow? On August 8, 1774, Percy wrote to Henry Reveley, Esq., Peckham, Surrey, The people here are a set of sly, artful, hypocritical rascalls, cruel, & cowards. I must own I cannot but despise them completely. On April 20, 1775, in an unofficial account of the retreat, he wrote General Harvey, We retired for 15 m under an incessant fire, wh like a moving circle surrounded & fold us wherever we went, till we

An Ancient Tree blown down. --The well known "Old Elm," of Somerset, Mass., which grew near the river, in the centre of the village, and supposed to be from 400 to 500 years old, was blown down a few nights ago, in a fierce gale. It was 100 feet in height, and the girth of the trunk was 66 feet.

ent directions, lay four other dead bodies. One of them held in his hand a small pocket almanac. Across a ravine upon a hill to the right of the earthworks was the camp of a Mississippi regiment. The men were gathered in little groups all over their camp, with their arms in their hands, in a perfect state of consternation. --Col. Bausenwein ordered the prisoners to fall into line and deliver up their arms. The men came forward and piled up their guns — of all descriptions, like those at Somerset. --In this camp there was about a cord of guns and two or three bushels of bowie-knives and revolvers. Passing a little to the north of the last-named camp was the camp of the Issaquah Artillery, from Louisiana. This was really a fine looking, well-uniformed set of men. Their uniform, like all their artillery, was of light gray, with red trimmings, their caps having a wide, red band. The three officers in charge of this battery were Lieuts. Spencer and Gibson, of Mississippi, and Lieut.
