r on he was asked to render an account of the money so received. This must have been considered satisfactory, as he was made deacon of the church February 1, 1713, and signed the covenant. He was elected Selectman in 1712, and Town Treasurer in 1714. He was married twice. His first wife, as I have said, was Rachel Eliot. She was a niece of the Apostle Eliot, and widow of John Poulter. When she died is not known, but he married Rebecca Cutler June 3, 1724. He died February 22, 1739, and hver, N. H. He represented Malden and Billerica in the General Court, and died in 1697. His son John Lane, father of Mary Lane Whitmore, was born in Maiden in 1661 and married Susannah Whipple of Ipswich in 1681. She died in 1713 and he died in 1714. They lived in Bedford and had a large family of children. He was very active in Indian wars, and held many positions in the militia, being appointed Captain by the Earl of Belmont in 1699, Major in a regiment of horse and foot in 1711 by Govern

ngraving in the Usher history of Medford, printed in 1886. And again to the steel engraving in Brooks' history, making later reference thereto. Now, let us look into the history of this old place on High street, also at a little of history and genealogy not written by Brooks or Usher. An old resident (of somewhat noted Medford family), Caleb Swan, left a record soon after 1855, and our quotations are from his writings, now in the Historical Society's collection. Benjamin Leathe, born 1714. He lived in the house at the foot of the hill, formerly called Meetinghouse hill, taken down by Mr. Thatcher Magoun about 1835. Mr. Leathe was a shoemaker and made the shoes of Mrs. Samuel Swan [his mother] when he was quite young; his wife made ladies' stays, or corsets, They were very worthy people and members of the church. Their children were John b. 1742, d. in his father's house Sept. 1815, aged 73; Sally; Richard (a baker in Watertown); and Francis b. 1762, d. Mar. 19, 1840 in Mr.

probably be contracted by this time twelvemonth. In other words, the Americans are now creating a national debt at the rate of £60,000,000 a year. We entreat the reader to observe for a moment what this implies. Such a course throws all our borrowing into the shade. In all the nine years of the American war, from 1774 to 1783, we only borrowed £104,000,000. In the twenty-two years of the great Revolutionary war we averaged less than £30,000,000 a year, and in the tremendous year 1813-14 the loan was but £36,000,000. But this is but only half the battle. The burthen of a loan depends not so much on the amount of principal as on the rate of interest. We borrowed our money even in 1813 at a little above four and a half per cent., and in 1856 at a little above three per cent. The Americans, however, began by an offer of seven per cent., and are at this moment compelled to pay ten or twelve per cent. We find, therefore, that while £60,000,000 annually would be added to their na

Such a course throws all-our borrowing into the shade. In all the nine years of the American war, from 1773 to 1783, we only borrowed $520,000,000. In the twenty-two years of the great revolutionary war we averaged less than $200,000,000 a year, and in the tremendous year 1813-14 the loan was but $180,000,000. But this is only half the battle.

lian, who was Emperor of Germany, as well as King of Spain, inherited the low countries, and transmitted them to his son Philip II. All who have read Motley's history of the Dutch Republic will recollect in what manner the seven United Provinces became severed from the crown of Spain. The "Catholic Provinces of the Netherlands," as they were called, ten in number, and constituting what is now called Belgium, were transferred a second time to the Crown of Germany by the treaty of Utrecht, in 1714. They were among the first conquests made by the French Republicans, in the beginning of the Revolution. They were afterwards annexed to France by Napoleon. But the Allies, by the treaty of Paris in 1814, united them to Holland, and made the Prince of Orange sovereign over both them and Holland. By the treaty of Vienna, in 1815, the low countries were clubbed together, christened the "Kingdom of the Netherlands." and made to receive a "King of the Netherlands," in the person of the afores

Delaware, 9,000; Maryland, 80,000; Virginia, 165,000; North Carolina, 75,000; South Carolina, 110,000, and Georgia, 16,000. Total in 1776,502,132. The first introduction of African slaves was in 1620, by a Dutch vessel which brought twenty from Africa to Virginia. In his work upon the slave trade, Mr. Carey, of Pennsylvania, says "the trade in negro slaves to the American colonies was too small before 1750 to attract attention." The same writer says that the slaves numbered 55,850 in 1714 of which 30,000 were brought from Africa. The importations between 1715 and 1750 are estimated by Mr. Carey at 90,000; between 1751 and 1760, 35,000; between 1761 and 1770, 74,000; between 1771 and 1790, 34,000; between 1790 and 1808, 70,000.--Total, 333,000. The number in the last- mentioned decade is considered by the census to be evidently too small.--Charleston alone, in the first four years of that decade, imported 30,075, which were consigned to 91 British subjects, 88 citizens of Rho
