per, and Daughter of Capt. Josiah Orne of Salem. Her remains were interred at Salem the Thursday following. And again on Feb. 22, On Wednesday evening, last week, departed this life after a short illness, Mr. Ebenezer Hall, in the 27th year of his age, for many years one of the Printers of this Paper—having survived his Wife only six weeks. His remains were respectfully interred at Medford the Saturday following. Samuel Hall, original and surviving Publisher of this Paper, intends to continue the Publication of it as usual. His being seized with a violent sickness just after his brothers illness commenced, will, it is hoped induce his kind customers to excuse the disappointment of a paper last week and the printing of but half a sheet this. In April, the paper was issued from new quarters in Boston on School street, next below Mr. Brackets tavern, and later in the year sold to Powars & Willis, who changed its name to The Independent Chronicle and Universal Advertiser.

oved. The parish was very kind and generous to him, supplying the pulpit at its own charge during his long illness. Indeed there is nothing in the history I have been reviewing which has impressed me more profoundly than that of the friendly relations between Mr. Tebbetts and this parish. He became its minister with a considerable minority against him, but in the brief period of his active pastorate he so won their respect and affection that they were to him the kindest of friends. In April of the following year, 1861, Mr. Edward C. Towne was installed. Educated at Yale College, he brought to his ministry a competent education and gifts of mind of an exceptional order. To these were added fervor and force, combined with a power of presenting truth that should have made him one of the leading minds of the church he had elected to serve. But controversies vitally affecting the Unitarian Church were then foremost, and deeply interested him. He was not sufficiently reverent of o
