the 21st Massachusetts, instantly rose and rushed over the Rebel breast-works, chasing out their defenders and following them in their retreat; securing, by their impetuosity, the capture of the larger number, as no time was given for their escape from the Island. Their loss in killed and wounded was but 55; but among the former were Capt. O. J. Wise, son of the General, and other valuable officers; while their loss in prisoners was not far from 2,700, including Cols. Shaw and Jordan, Lt.-Cols. Fowle and Price, Majors Hill, Yates, and Williamson. Our loss in the bombardment and assault was about 50 killed and 250 wounded. All the cannon, small arms, munitions, provisions, etc., on the Island, were among the spoils of victory. Com. Rowan, with 14 gunboats, was dispatched next evening up Albemarle Sound and Pasquotank river in pursuit of the Rebel gunboats. He found them, 7 in number, at Elizabeth City; where, after a smart fight, they were set on fire by their crews and abandone

e scale, as at the Mont Cenis and Hoosac tunnels, and is extensively employed in coal-mining, serving to ventilate the shaft besides performing the functions of a motor. The drilling-machines to which it is applied are various, very great improvements having been made within the past 20 or 25 years, previous to which time the old systems of turning the drill, and boring or pounding by hand, held undisputed sway. In 1849, Clark and Motley, in England, invented a machinedrill, and in 1851, Fowle devised a similar machine, having the drill directly attached to the piston cross-head and provided with an automatic feed-apparatus. To this succeeded the Hotchkiss and Gardner machine. It has an automatic feed, and the drill is air-cushioned to deaden its shock, enabling it to be worked very rapidly without injury to the stationary parts. The Mont Cenis and Hoosac tunnels gave a great impetus to this class of inventions, among which were a number intended for excavating the whole face

n the line of the Opelousas Railroad. July 31.—The regiment was ordered North, and arrived at New York Aug. 8, proceeding to Boston, and was mustered out of service at Readville, Aug. 20, 1863. The Forty-third Regiment was in the Department of North Carolina. It left the State Oct. 24, 1862, and reached Newbern about Nov. 1. On arriving, it was ordered to camp on the banks of the Trent River, Nov. 30; two companies were detached and ordered to Beaufort, N. C., under command of Captain Fowle, where they remained till March 4, 1863. The regiment joined the expedition to Goldsborough, under Major-General Foster. It was under fire Dec. 14, at the battle of Kinston, but, fortunately, without any injury. Dec. 16.—It was again under fire, at the battle of Whitehall, where it lost one killed, and three or four wounded. Dec. 17.—It was detached from the main column, and sent, with a section of artillery and one company of cavalry, to Spring Bank Bridge, where the enemy was<

d Socrates. Mr. Jackson contributed to the Boston Courier, the Boston Commercial Bulletin, the New York Independent, and the Atlantic Monthly. He wrote many songs, and was the author of a popular opera-cantata, called The Cranberry Pickers. He died December 9, 1898, aged fifty-eight years. As a means of preparing for an easy transition a little later from the men to the women writers of Somerville, let us speak of the Munroe family. Edwin Munroe, of Scotch descent, married Eliza (?) Fowle, of Lexington. Three children of these parents, a brother and two sisters, have intimate relation with the literary history of Somerville. These are Edwin Munroe, who married Nancy Thorning, Eliza Ann Munroe, who married Rev. Henry Bacon, and Martha Fowle Munroe, who married Rev. Elbridge Gerry Brooks. The son of the last-named marriage is known to all residents of Somerville, and to many throughout the land. In industry and consequent fruitfulness, it is not too much to say that Elbr

as ordained as pastor of the First Church and Parish in Weymouth, which office he retained until his death, Sep 17, 1783, in his seventy-seventh year. He was a graduate of Harvard in 1725. In reading of Charlestown it is well to remember that at one time Charlestown entirely surrounded Medford, and that in 1754 Medford acquired considerable of Charlestown territory in two parcels. This Rev. William Smith (who until his ordination was Mister William) was the son of Thomas and Abigail (Fowle) Smith. Thomas Smith was styled merchant and had a farm of eighty acres (and house), bounded north by Mystic river, south and southwest by J. Dickson, and east by James Tufts and C. Crosswell. It was situated, as will be thus seen, at the bend of the river and at the end of the old rangeway, now North street. In the division of the estate, nineteen and three-quarters acres fell to the son William, which he seems to have improved by fencing, building a barn and planting an orchard. Rela

ond where the Middlesex canal formerly crossed to the long point (now a part of the Metropolitan park reservation) which reaches out between the upper pond and what is now known as Bacon's. The squa sachem described that boundary as the south end of Mr. Nowell's land. A witness, in the suit to be mentioned, described the [southern] as the little brook that runneth from Capt. Cook's mill to Mystic pond. Col. George Cooke had early built a mill a little above the present site of the old Fowle grain mill and was a man of repute. He returned to England on the breaking out of the Civil War, was made a colonel under Cromwell and was killed in Ireland in 1652. Administration of his estate in this country was granted to Henry Dunster, first president of Harvard, and Colonel Cooke's older brother Joseph in 1653.
