It was a natural creek, enlarged and deepened thus far, from which point, turning westerly, it extended along the southerly and westerly sides of South and Eliot streets, and crossed Brattle Street, where the town ordered a causeway and foot bridge to be constructed, Jan. 4, 1635-36. On the fifth of the following July, provision was made for the payment of Mr. Masters, when it was Ordered, That there shall be levied out of the several plantations the sum of thirty pounds, for the making of the creek at the New Town, —but no portion of this sum was assessed upon the New Town. Again, Feb. 3, 1631-2, It was ordered, That there should be three score pounds levied out of the several plantations within the limits of this patent, towards the making of a pallysadoe about the New Town; viz.

In 1721, the small-pox prevailed more extensively and fatally than ever before in Boston and its vicinity.* A statement of results was made officially in the Boston News Letter : Boston, Feb. 24, 1721-2. By the Selectmen. The number of persons visited with the small-pox since its coming into town, in April last past, having been inquired into by direction from the Selectmen, amounts to 5,889:—844 of whom died and were buried in the preceding months, as follows:—May, 1; June, 8; July, 11; Aug., 26; Sept., 101; Oct., 411; Nov., 249; Dec., 31; Jan., 6. The extent of the destruction of life in Cambridge, by this scourge, is not known with exactness; but references to it are found in the New England Courant: Cambridge, Thursday, Nov. 30, 1721. This morning died here William Hutchinson, of Boston, Esq., of the small-pox, in the 38th year of his age. (Dec. 4, 1721.) Last week died one of the Indian hostages (mentioned in our last) of the small-pox at Cambridge. (Jan. 22,

Wherefore your petitioners pray, that you will take their peculiar case into your consideration, and provide for their relief, either by appointing a committee in such a way as to you may seem most fit, to explore, view, and mark out new highways from the westerly end of said Bridge to

Josiah Parker, who purchased the estate in 1699, and was an inn-holder as late as 1725, and perhaps until he died in July or August, 1731. It does not distinctly appear whether Samuel Gibson was an innholder; but in 1672 he was punished for unlawfully entertaining students.

he church was formed Sept. 3, 1827, which was publicly recognized by a council convened for that purpose four days afterwards. The first pastor of the church was Rev. John E. Weston, who was ordained Oct. 10, 1827, having preached to the society for several months previously. He was a graduate of the Newton Theological Institution, and was a faithful minister of the church. He resigned April 4, 1831, and was invited to take charge of the Baptist Church in Nashua, N. H.; but in the month of July in the same year he was unfortunately drowned at Wilmington, Mass. Rev. Jonathan Aldrich, B. U. 1826, a graduate of Newton Theological Institution, who had previously been pastor of a church in Beverly, entered upon his labors here June 2, 1833, resigned June 19, 1835, and took charge of the First Baptist Church in Worcester. Rev. Bela Jacobs, formerly pastor of the First Baptist Church in Cambridge, was installed here Aug. 23, 1835. His pastorate had a tragical termination on the morning o

Also that the wings of the town shall have the same allowance in proportion. Subsequently the present territory of Cambridge was divided into three, and still later into five districts: (1.) Old Cambridge, south of the Railroad; (2.) The section north of the Railroad; (3.)
