rpshooters were the only North Carolina troops, and they were not engaged until toward the close of the struggle. The front assault of Geary and Prince fell on the brigades of Early and Taliaferro, and part of Campbell. While Campbell's men were meeting the front attack, Crawford, who had been sent to their left, fell on their left flank. Under this double attack, the left regiments retreated in some confusion. General Garnett, who hurried there, was wounded, as were Major Lane and Colonel Cunningham. The double fire was severe, and Campbell's whole brigade gave way. Crawford pushed on until he struck Taliaferro's flank. This brigade was already hotly engaged with Geary, and as Crawford's men rushed steadily on, a part of Taliaferro's brigade, after a gallant resistance, also fell back. Early, however, manfully stood firm. Ronald moved up his reserves to fill the gap left by Campbell and part of Taliaferro's force, and the battle raged anew. Taliaferro had energetically ralli

, a fire from both sides was kept up for about three hours, till at last the British were able to set fire to the house. In this situation, the besieged capitulated under the agreement that they should be treated as prisoners of war until they could be exchanged. The capitulation was formally signed and interchanged; and yet the Americans had no sooner marched out, than the British hanged Colonel Hayes to the limb of a tree. The second in command was treated in like manner; after which, Cunningham, with his own hands, slew some of the prisoners, and desired his men to follow his example. One of them traversed the ground where his old neighbors and acquaint- Chap. XXII.} 1781. ances lay dead and dying, and ran his sword through those in whom he saw signs of life.

till remains, till recently the residence of his grandson, William Cheney. The Gamage corner had not begun to take on the various additions and alterations, for neither Chinese nor yet Mikado laundry had arrived. Policeman Richardson had not yet come to engage in the livery business, which for over thirty years has been a stable one, though conducted by several proprietors. Edward Shaw with his express came not till ‘71, nor was he located beside Whitmore Brook till five years later. Cunningham's omnibus made no trips to Medford Square, nor did, indeed, till ‘76, while the bobtail car which succeeded the omnibus would at that day have been deemed a wild enterprise. Purchase street (now Winthrop), had been open some twenty-five years, and Woburn street, once the main road to Boston, was but little used, as the northern travel came not up Marm Simond's Hill. Sugar Loaf Hill had not been cut out so widely, nor yet by the action of the stone-crusher granulated and spread on Medfo

West Medford had about one hundred families. Mr. Charles Cummings was principal of the Medford High School, with two assistants, and the one hundred pupils of West Medford were housed in the Brooks schoolhouse, under the instruction of three teachers. Mr. Ober's was the only store. There was no physician. The post office was in the railroad station, Reuben Willey being both station agent and postmaster. Some families attended church at Medford, but there was no public conveyance, Cunningham's omnibus line not being in operation till five years later. The West Medford Christian Union held preaching services in Mystic Hall, but there was no church organization which could build a meeting-house, and no joint action of different denominations seemed feasible. The Baptists, under the lead of Mr. Horace A. Breed, agitated the question of a Baptist church and were satisfied to give it up. Then the Methodists discussed the matter, but took no public action. It remained for the C

e little chaps from the Latin school. Other schools need noting, where we were taught dancing, singing and drawing, all by private tutors. Mrs. Barrymore came out weekly from Boston to teach a class in dancing in the Day Academy. To it came Helen Porter from the George Porter house across Forest street; Catherine and Rebecca Adams, daughters of Deacon Adams, came from the slope of Winter Hill; Susan Emily Porter came from the Royall farm. She was our best dancer. She later married Mr. Cunningham of Baltimore. Amelia and Caroline Blanchard, daughters of Capt. Andrew Blanchard, came from the house shown on the outside of the Historical Register; Apphia and Mary Fuller, daughters of Dr. Fuller, from the next house east. The drawing class was instructed by Miss Hannah Swan, daughter of Mrs. Peggy Swan and sister of Sam, he of the brazen rooster. The singing school was a large affair. It was kept in the Martin Burrage house opposite the Unitarian church. It was attended by m

er's, and was enterprising enough to put in the first Medford telephone, running a wire up the river side to Macy's little store in West Medford, where he took orders. He tried to interest town officers and citizens in it, but with no success. They had no use for the plaything. One day Macy told him there was a fire up there and George rushed across Main street to the police station with the message, but it fell on incredulous ears—and there was nothing doing. About a half hour later Cunningham's omnibus came down on its regular trip, and the driver told people of the fire and inquired where the fire department was. The old Dr. Tufts residence was torn down in 1867, and in 1872 Dr. Weymouth built a substantial wooden building, with Tufts hall on the third floor. This, with the three-story brick Hall house and the modernly called City Hall annex, all gave way eight years ago to the socalled Medford building. This annex is worthy of more than passing notice. It was the home o

, while Macy had the one over the oven. It was to this that George Delano ran the first telephone wire from his coal office in Medford up the riverbank and offered the town the use of it for fire and police calls, but found nothing doing—no use for any such plaything. One day, when the Usher block took fire from locomotive sparks, Macy called Delano loudly, who repeated across the street to the bird-cage (police station), Fire in the Usher block! and got no notice taken of it. By-and-by Cunningham's bus-driver got downtown inquiring for the fire department. Artemas Poole had bought a dwelling (the first built in 1870 on the Smith estate), and moving into it had a one-story structure built close beside the railroad. It had his shop in the rear end and a little store in front, with an array of gaily colored boxes on its shelves for about a year, when Joseph Leach came in with him and began to sell shoes. One Bixby opened a barber's shop in the front corner of the Mystic Hall te
