oolmaster Kendall his account from July 7, 1780, to Sept. 2d., £ 407 4s., including two weeks boarding at £ 50, per week, and allowing £ 8, per week, above what he charged some time before, for eight weeks board. Oct. 1, 1780. Allowed to Mr. Wm. How £ 90, for boarding Mr. Kendall two weeks, and £ 55, per week, for boarding him four weeks, £ 220, being in the whole £ 310. It is too much, and the account was allowed by the selectmen for prudential reasons, but sorely against their wills. Dec. 18, 1780. Allowed Mr. Kendall's account (schoolmaster's) to this day, at £ 380, if paid within one week, otherwise to be £ 400. Soon afterwards a more stable currency was introduced, and the former was withdrawn. The electmen, May 9, 1781, allowed Master Whittemore's account of £ 1,000, in old emission, to be paid in new emission at one for forty. Under this new state of things Master Kendall's salary was fixed at thirty pounds and his board, as appears by a vote of the Selectmen, April 7, 1

Wyman, £ 1,000; another horse of Locke's £ 1,000. The sad state of the currency appears also from sundry votes of the town: June 20, 1780, to assess £ 15,000 for the purpose of hiring soldiers; June 22, the same sum, and June 29, £ 50,000, for the same purpose; Dec. 18, 1780, to assess £ 60,000 for the purchase of 35,255 lbs. of beef for the use of the army,— being at the rate of very nearly six dollars per pound. On the 17th of October, 1777, Gen. Burgoyne surrendered his army as prisoners of war. They were ordered to Cambridge, where they arrived in the following month, and were placed under the charge of Gen. Heath, the commander of this military district.
