The Rindge gifts. Ex-Governor William E. Russell. Until 1887, Cambridge, while distinguished in many ways, had not been specially favored by any large gifts from her citizens for public purposes. She had been conspicuous for her educational institutions, for her many and varied industries, for her sturdy citizenship, and especially for the part she had taken in the struggle for the independence of our country, and later for union and liberty. Intelligence, patriotism, and many other virtues were characteristic of her people, but their wealth was not great, and it had not been devoted to a large extent to distinctly public objects. The year 1887 marked a new epoch in her history. Then began a period of larger things, of grander municipal life, of greater public spirit in works of philanthropy and benevolence, and of devotion to the charities that soothe and heal and bless. The privilege of starting this movement was given to one of her younger sons of ample fortune and of g

William Whitmore was a graduate of Harvard College, and at one time a schoolmaster, but ill health prevented him from engaging in active pursuits. His death was somewhat peculiar, as he died in consequence of an illness produced by a dread of small pox. His death occurred March 10, 1760, and his widow died October 10, 1765. With him his line of the family name became extinct. When Francis and Mary Hall Whitmore went to Maine, they took with them their eldest son, Stephen, who

Fatal Accidents. --At Rindge, (N. H.,) on Thanksgiving Day, two sons of Mr. A. A. Bradford, aged 11 and 14 years, had permission of their parents to skate round the meadow edge of the pond. The eldest ventured out too far, and broke through the ice. His little brother, being anxious for his safety, rushed to his rescue and succeeded in getting hold of his clothing, but the ice being only half an inch thick, it broke under him. Both were drowned. At Troy, the day before, two sons of Stephen B. Farral, aged respectively 10 and 12 years, went skating on an artificial pond, made by blasting and excavating rocks, some 70 by 30 feet only, but the water some six feet deep. They both broke through the ice, and, no help being near, they were drowned.
