Several acres were subsequently added to Cambridge, bounded westerly on Coolidge Avenue, extending to and including the Cambridge Cemetery. Some excitement was occasioned as late as 1754, by the appearance of a bear in the easterly part of Cambridge, long after we might suppose this section of the country to have been rid of wild beasts. The Boston News Letter of September 19, contained this paragraph. On Tuesday last, a Bear, that had wandered down to Cambridge, was discovered on Lieut. Govr. Phips' farm, This farm embraced East Cambridge, and extended westerly nearly to Columbia Street. Five years later, in September, 1759, Dr. Belknap, then a student in Harvard College, made this record: A great many bears killed at Cambridge and the neighboring towns about this time, and several persons killed by them.—Life of Belknap, p. 11. and being closely pursued took to Charles River; whereupon several boats put off from Charlestown, and one from the west part of this town, which

token of his investment with full authority from all. As to what has happened, he added, I believe it has been ordered by our Great Father above. We are of different color from the white people; but the same Great Spirit made all. As we live in one land, let us love one another as one people. And the Cherokees pledged anew to Carolina the friendship, which was to last as long as the light of morning should break above their villages, or the bright fountains gush from their hill-sides. Lieut. Gov, Bull to the Lords of Trade, 23 Sept., 1761. Terms of Peace for the Cherokees, in the Lords of Trade, of 11 Dec., 1761. Then they returned to dwell once more in their ancient homes.

William Willis, a lunatic. Laid on the Table--The joint resolution for the relief of the securities of P. P. Winston, late Sheriff of Richmond city, was, on motion of Mr. August, laid on the table.

Hdqs, Gov's Mounted Guard. Camp Ashland, May 11, 1861. the Governor's Mounted Guard desire to return their thanks to Messrs. J. F. Scott and Wm. A. Grills, and Troopers J. H. Rives and John Allan for their very liberal contributions in money. Also, to Messrs. L. D. Crenshaw and Wm. A. Grills for the use of two valuable horses for members of the corps. (but for which liberality on their part two Troopers would have had to remain at home.) Also, many thanks to the Rev. Mr. Nolley for his great kindness in furnishing provender for our horses on our arrival at the camp. The corps wishes also to express their thanks particularly to their former associate, Quartermaster Jos. H. Crenshaw and Surgeon Francis W.

of so long and arduous a tramp. There are quite a number of Virginias in our corps, the Missouri Governor's Guard, the color company of the regiment, in which corps your correspondent is one of the color guard. So if there is a fight, I will be in for it; and if I do, though I have no particular wish to be a mark for a Sharp's ride, will do my best to send Montgomery to the same place to which John Brown was ticketed by Gov. Wise. The command consists of eight companies of infantry, two companies of engineer battalion, and one each of artillery and cavalry — in all amounting to 600 men. The match aggress with me splendidly, and my general appearance would astonish some of my Virginia relatives and friends, who think that I am safely perched upon my stool in St, Louis. Shortness of time, and weariness consequent upon being up all night on guard, must excuse this hasty and illegible letter. If anything interesting should occur I will write you again. "Gov's Guard."
