I could never see That Sin's and Error's ugly smirch Stained the walls only of the Church;— There are good priests, and men who take Freedom's torn cloak for lucre's sake,— I can't believe the Church so strong, As some men do, for Right or Wrong. But for this subject (long and vext) I must refer you to my next, As also for a list exact Of goods with which the Hall was packed. Referring to her husband's Hudibrastic production, Maria Lowell wrote from Cambridge to Maria Mott Davis (Ms. Jan. 8, 1847): ‘I wonder if you enjoyed his description of the Fair as much as I did. I saw Garrison the other day, and he seemed to be especially pleased with it, and the account of Stephen Foster delighted him. Of that and Maria Chapman he spoke most particularly. Miller made one error, and only one, in his copy, and that was sweet instead of swift eyes. Mrs. Chapman's eyes are not sweet, but swift expresses exactly their rapid, comprehensive glance.’ The author of the Biglow Papers had alread

ome to see how the new teacher was doing. Another primary school was started that year in the Leland district near by. This school was held in a room hired for the purpose, and Miss Frances B. Adams was the teacher. At her examination October 2 she had an enrollment of sixty-eight pupils. Meanwhile on the lot of land recently purchased, at the corner of Milk and Kent Streets, a schoolhouse was built, the duplicate of one that was being erected at the same time in East Somerville, and January 8, 1847, it received the name of the Franklin School. One room was given to a new grammar department, and Miss Frances B. Adams took charge of the primary scholars. At the February examination, 1847, in consequence of these changes, Miss Sanborn's school was reduced to a total of sixty-four scholars, and her numbers continued to diminish. The school report for 1847 says: The Primary School at Milk Street, formerly one of our largest, embracing nearly or quite 100 pupils, contains at the prese

ys longer the attacks of their adversaries. Fortunately for them, the naval division of Commodore Stockton was waiting for them at San Diego, and a detachment of marines and soldiers, sent by the latter, brought them on the 11th of December the succor they had so greatly needed. Resuming his march after fifteen days rest, with his troops reinforced by more than four hundred and fifty men from the garrison of San Diego, Kearny dispersed the Mexicans at the river of San Gabriel on the 8th of January, 1847. The next day he again defeated them at Los Angeles, and being joined by a battalion of Mormons which had arrived from the north, he at last occupied Upper California in concert with Lieutenant-Colonel Fremont. During this expedition, which secured to its general the title of governor of the new State, the two regiments of cavalry that Kearny had left at Santa Fe did not remain inactive.

Americans were still obliged to repel the attacks of their adversaries for two days. Fortunately for them, the naval division of Commodore Stockton was waiting for them at San Diego, and a detachment of marines and soldiers, sent by the latter, brought them a relief of which they stood greatly in need. After resting for a fortnight at San Diego, Kearney's small band, reinforced by more than four hundred and fifty men, resumed its march under the supreme command of Stockton. On the 8th of January, 1847, the Americans dispersed the enemy's forces that had rallied against them at Rio San Gabriel, and beat them again the next day before Los Angelos. After a violent quarrel with Stockton, who disputed the command with him, Kearney continued his march, overtook a Mormon battalion on the 21st, which had arrived from the North, and finally occupied Upper California, in conjunction with Lieutenant-colonel Fremont.
