Dr. Colman, of Boston, whose graceful form and brilliant eye allured one's attention from the exceRev. Dr. Colman, of Boston, whose graceful form and brilliant eye allured one's attention from the exceeding brunette in her complexion, he preached on the first Sabbath after his marriage from this text: Cant. i. 5: I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem. Mr. Turell lost the children he had by his first wife. His second wife was Miss 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; Coolidgereciation of a most interesting woman in the family and a pious member of the church. His sketch of his father-in-law, Dr. Colman, is a labored and successful eulogy of every quality in the deceased which could ornament a man or sanctify a preacher.

ue in those days than in ours, so that at times it was necessary to vote the amount of the salary each year. In 1749, for instance, the salary was made five hundred pounds (old tenor). There are traces of humor in Mr. Turell. He married Miss Jane Colman, daughter of Rev. Dr. Colman, of Boston, with whom he studied theology after leaving college, and evidently found something more interesting. The first Sunday after his marriage to her—she was a very handsome brunette—he preached from the tRev.

The first Sunday after his marriage to her—she was a very handsome brunette—he preached from the text in the book of Canticles, I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem. He continued his ministry until 1778, dying of old age, it is said, in his seventy-seventh year and the fifty-fourth of his pastorate.
