e hill where we stood, for in a few moments the smoke was discovered issuing from their batteries of rifled cannon, and before scarcely a word could be said, the peculiar whiz and hizzing of the balls notified us that their aim had been well taken. Several balls fell in a field immediately behind us, and not a hundred yards from the spot where the generals stood. An officer of Gen. Beauregard's staff requested us to leave the hill, and as we moved away a shell burst not twenty feet off. Col. Bonner calculated with his watch the time taken by the balls to pass us, and made the distance 1 miles from the enemy's battery. The enemy no doubt discovered the horses of the generals, and thought it a good opportunity to display their marksmanship, and credit is due to them for the accuracy of their aim. Providence, however, who governs all things, covered the heads of our generals as with a shield, and preserved them for the hazardous service in which they were in a short hour or two to be

. This gallant regiment, which has never been surpassed by any troops in the world, for gallantry, subordination, and propriety, was commanded by the heroic Captain Marsh, and, after his fall, by the equally heroic Captain Latham, who shared the same fate. All the officers of this noble regiment, present at Sharpsburg, were killed or wounded. Their names deserve to be preserved. Captains Marsh, Latham, and Osborne, Lieutenants Stansill, Colton, Allen, Parker, Brown, Weaver, Crawford, and Bonner, Sergeants John Troutman, and J. W. Shinn, Corporals J. A. Cowan, and H. H. Barnes, and private J. D. Barton, of this regiment, were greatly distinguished for their courage. Private J. B. Stinson, of same regiment, acting as courier to General Anderson, was wounded in three places at Sharpsburg, and there, as on every other battlefield, behaved most nobly. Colonel Bennet, of the Fourteenth North Carolina, commends Captains Jones, Freeman, Bell, Debun, and Weir, Lieutenants Liles, Mitchell,

ective circulation, nor even of the style of the seven league-booter, and freebooter of fairy lore; but rather of the type of the Arabian genii, who were anywhere and everywhere at once. Fourteen years ago, Fanny Fern made an engagement with Mr. Bonner, to furnish an article every week for the Ledger, and thereby hangs a tale, the most wonderful fact in this veracious biography: Behold I from that time to this, she has never failed one week to produce the stipulated article, on time! Think, mmpted, in times of hurry, or languor, in journeyings and dog-day heats, to break your agreement; but an honest fealty to a generous publisher has hitherto constrained you to stand by; and we like you for it. Other publishers may be bon, but he is Bonner. So you do not demean yourself by following the triumphal chariot of his fortunes (Dexter's trotting wagon) like Zenobia in chains, -since the chains are of gold. As a writer of brief essays and slight sketches, Fanny Fern excels. She seems a

juncture that Miss Burnham resigned. There is no direct reference on the records to Miss Burnham during all these years, and no allusion to her severing her connection with the school. Her efficiency is commended in general terms along with the other primary teachers. Evidently Somerville lost a good teacher when they let Miss Burnham go to Cambridge. There are several now living II this city who were her old pupils. For information about her I am chiefly indebted to Mrs. Martha Ellen (Bonner) Libby, who was a Milk Row scholar, Francis Cogswell, for so many years the superintendent of schools in Cambridge, and Mrs. Harriette Reed Woodbury, a lifelong friend of Miss Burnham, In his school report for 1879, page 40, in speaking of teachers who had resigned that year, Mr. Cogswell says: One resigned after a service in the schools of Cambridge of more than thirty years. When I say that she was associated with me as head assistant (having charge of the English) for twenty yea

re, to be remodeled for mercantile and other purposes. It is the old Mystic House, famous for its hospitality in the palmy days of the trotting park. The long rows of stables were removed last year. The track has not yet been disturbed and occasionally one sees a trotter taking his exercise there, but the Park is a thing of the past, and the names of the streets which are being built across it will alone recall the days when Wright, Billings, Willis and Alexander controlled the place and Bonner's horses under the hands of jockeys like Golden, Doble, Trout and others came under the wire amid the plaudits of thousands. The Mystic House occupied the site of the tenement mentioned in early deeds of Ten Hill Farm. Before 1850 the land upon which it stood was the Nathan Adams Farm. From the Selectmen's records. Some of us who groan at the price of fuel in 1906 may take courage and cease to bemoan the good old days of yore, as we read the following item from the Medford Selectme

igrated to the acres in the form of the concrete block foundations. Some store-building syndicate has erected its structure on Main street, and the Church Extension Society located on a strategic point the temporary chapel of St. John's Church. Across the way, where once was Isaac Royall's farmhouse, not many years since was the Mystic trotting park. Blocks of stores, garage and dwellings now line its new streets. These bear the names of former proprietors and turfmen — Wright, Willis, Bonner, Golden and Trott. Hicks avenue leads to the later Combination park and perpetuates its projector's name. Dexter street recalls a former owner, and in the corner of the city are another owner's children's names — Joseph, Lewis, Edward and Henry. Away back in 1845 Edward Hastings and Samuel Teel laid out the land on either side High street from the Woburn road to the Lowell railroad. A plan of the same has recently come to the Historical Society on which one reads, offensive trades pro

Desecrating the Pulpit. --The Boston (Mass.) Transcript, alluding to Berkshire county, in that State, says:--"They have a new way of advertising newspaper writers in Berkshire, which Bonner should not be slow to adopt. A clergyman in the south part of the county lately announced from his pulpit that the local paper of the succeeding week would contain a poem, and such of his congregation as missed reading it would lese a valuable literary treat. The production was by the minister's wife, and of course was generally perused."

The New York Ledger --Commerce vs. Christianity.--The illustrious Bonner, the philosopher of the New York Ledger, indulges in a short essay on "Long Wars" in the last number of this peerless paper. Bonner thinks long wars are greatly to be deplored. He devoutly hopes that the conclusions of those writers who argue that the facilities of modern communication, the improvement in arms; and, above all, the mighty interest of modern commerce, forbid the possibility of long wars, may be just. to make strong war. He thinks every overwhelming blow is a mercy stroke. He tearfully believes that "the policy, the true Christian policy in war, is to smite irresistibly and then tender the olive branch with brotherly hand." Profound and pious Bonner!--Gay and festiveness! you are doubtless correct. We think that humanity, Christianity, and above all, commerce--Northern commerce — are powerful arguments against a prolongation of the war on your part. We notice that all of your brethren of
