stone, set in silver; and my bunch or brush of spun glass. Item. My good servant Worcester,--I give him his freedom, and discharge him from any demands of my heirs or executors on account of his being a slave; and order my executor to reserve in his hands £ 50, sterling, to and for the use of my said servant, if he should be unable to support himself; the same to be given him at the discretion of my said executor. When the town determined to set the meeting-house where it was built in 1769, Mr. Turell remonstrated. He wished it placed beside the old one. He accordingly erased from his will the section in which he had given his dwelling-house to the town! The system of exchanges, by which neighboring ministers preached in each other's pulpits, was in full activity during Mr. Turell's ministry; and the Medford church was instructed occasionally by Rev. Messrs. Colman, Cooper, Gardner, and Byles, of Boston; Prince, Warren, and Clapp, of Cambridge; Stimson, of Charlestown; Coo

This plan was adopted, and the house built on the spot now occupied by the meeting-house of the first church. Another important vote was passed, providing that a subscription should be opened, and the citizen who subscribed the most towards building the house should have his first choice of a pew; and so the rest, in the order of their relative sums. Forty-five gentlemen subscribed. March. 13, 1769, voted to have a spire, whose cost should not exceed £ 66. 13s. 4d. May 15, 1769, voted that there may be conducting-rods put upon the steeple, if they cost the town nothing. Price of labor at this time, for a man, 3s. 6d. per day; for man and team, 6s. 8d. By the usual courtesy, the pastor took the first choice, and selected pew No. 27; which thereupon became the minister's pew, owned by the town. The pews in the meeting-house were chosen according to the vote of the town and the ten

As to the strangers who are mentioned on our records, I find that Adrian Lubert Andriesse, of Batavia, was born in Boston, Feb. 9, 1799, and baptized at Medford, July 7, 1805. Charles Dabney's child, which Mr. Albree had to nurse, was baptized July 4, 1742, and named Charles. Of those not of American birth or parentage, I find, besides the slaves and their children, that Jacob Auld, one of the Scotch-Irish, had, by wife Ann, a daughter, M
