and the Medford church was instructed occasionally by Rev. Messrs. Colman, Cooper, Gardner, and Byles, of Boston; Prince, Warren, and Clapp, of Cambridge; Stimson, of Charlestown; Coolidge, of Watertown; Flagg, of Woburn; Lowell and Tufts, of Newbury; Parkman, of Westbury; Parsons, of Bradford; and many more. This wide connection in ministerial brotherhood shows Mr. Turell to have enjoyed the respect and esteem of the clergy, as well as the approbation and confidence of the churches. President Allen, in his Biographical Dictionary, speaks of him thus:-- He was an eminent preacher, of a ready invention, a correct judgment, and fervent devotion, who delivered divine truth with animation, and maintained discipline in his church with boldness tempered by prudence. An anecdote is told of him, which may mean much or little. It was reported that Mr. Whitefield was to preach in Medford the next sabbath. A man from Malden came, and took his seat in the meeting-house. He thought he

fe I do not admire very much, and that is windy weather. The cook had to hold the oven on the fire the other night to keep it from blowing away with the supper, and the dishes — tin cups and plates — never stopped goring until they got in among the forage wagons. Gen. Stuart's headquarters are in a house just outside of this encampment. The only charge of cavalry which broke the enemy's lines in the battle of Manassas was made by this 1st regiment, led by Gen. Stuart. Capt. Carter's company, of Loudoun, were in front, and met with serious losses. The Clarke cavalry were next, but lost only one man, the gallant Lieut, Allen. There is great shouting in camp to-night, the soldiers applauding Mr. Blandell, the celebrated bugler of Martinsburg. The music is very beautiful. Excuse mistakes, as camp life does not afford every convenience for letter-writing. I am writing on a table left behind by the Yankees in their retreat, with a bayonet for a candle- stick. B. C. L
