regarded with favor by the Crown. In point of fact, we know that by 1635 Charles was intending to suppress the Company. He would very likely, from Holyoke Street on the east to Brattle Square on the west. By 1635, the streets now called Mount Auburn, Winthrop, South, Holyoke, Dunshe Town until it should be properly filled, before going beyond. By 1635, there were sixty-four house-lots within the Town, of which about fi covered with slate or shingles, not with thatch. Before the end of 1635, there were at least eighty-five houses in the New Town. Eastwardhe Town from the river, and at its mouth was a ferry, established in 1635, connecting with a road on the south bank through Brookline to Bostotick, but the candlestick would not stay. In the course of the year 1635 began the exodus from the Charles River to the Connecticut. In Junes of those who departed were filled without delay. In the autumn of 1635, Rev.

seed of the Washington Elm by Mr. John Owen, was presented to the city, and planted on the westerly side of the Common with suitable exercises. Several thousand persons were present, together with the city government, and among the features of the occasion were an address by the mayor and an original hymn sung by the children of the public schools. In 1882, a fine bronze statue of John Bridge, in Puritan costume, one of the most prominent of the early settlers of the town, selectman from 1635 to 1652, and representative for several terms in the General Court, and deacon of the First Church, was presented to the city by his descendant, Samuel J. Bridge, and erected in the northeasterly corner of the Common. It was dedicated November 28, after an interesting address by Colonel Thomas Wentworth Higginson and remarks by the mayor, President Eliot, and General Charles Devens.

here our sires laid down Their smiling babes, their cherished brides, The patriarchs of the town; Hast thou a tear for buried love? A sigh for transient power? All that a century left above, Go,—read it in an hour! O. W. Holmes. As early as 1634-35, one John Pratt was granted two acres of land, described as situated By the old Burying Place without the common pales. This deed indicates the first land used for burials, which was located, as nearly as can be ascertained, on the northerly cornea measure protected the little town from Indians and wild beasts. This burial-place was discontinued when the present ancient ground on the corner of Massachusetts Avenue and Garden Street was set apart for burials, and ordered paled in, early in 1635-36. One hundred years later, 1735, the town, with the assistance of the college, built a substantial stone wall in the front, on Menotomy Road, Now Massachusetts Avenue. at a cost of £ 150.

hool beginnings, the record of those beginnings would not be the scant and incomplete story that has come down to us. It is not until 1643 that we find any authentic account of a school in Cambridge. In that year the curtain suddenly rises on Elijah Corlett's faire Grammar Schoole, by the side of the college. There is abundant reason for believing, however, that Cambridge was not without a school for some years prior to this date. We catch a glimpse of the Boston Latin School as early as 1635, in the pathetic record of the town that our brother Philemon Pormort shall be intreated to become its master. Salem, Charlestown, and Dorchester also had schools before 1640. The conditions for the early existence of a school were as favorable in Cambridge as elsewhere in the colony. When the town was founded in 1631, the intention was to make it the fortified political centre of the colony. It speedily became instead an important residential and intellectual centre.
