was assigned to Ferrero's (2d) Brigade, Reno's (2d) Division, Ninth Corps. It was engaged at South Mountain, where it won praises from all who saw it in action; Colonel Wild received a serious wound there, resulting in amputation of an arm. Three days later, the regiment fought at Antietam, the casualty list at that battle footing up 48 killed, 600 wounded, and 6 missing; total, 214. It was also actively engaged at Fredericksburg, sustaining there a loss of 63 in killed and wounded; Major Sidney Willard, who was in command, was killed while cheering on his men. The Thirty-fifth accompanied the corps in its western campaigns in Kentucky, at Vicksburg, and at the siege of Knoxville, Tenn. Upon its return to Virginia it was brigaded in the First Brigade of Stevenson's (1st) Division, from which it was subsequently transferred to Potter's (2d) Division. At Poplar Spring Church the regiment, under Lieutenant-Colonel Hudson, lost 6 killed, 19 wounded, and 156 prisoners,--the latter loss o

indeed a rich inheritance and an inspiration to those who take up the work of the next fifty years of the municipal life of Cambridge. During the fifty years of the charter, twenty-two citizens have served as mayor. The years in which each administered the office, and also the important personal facts regarding them, may be gathered from the following table:— Years as Mayor.Born.Died.Native of. Occupation.

Esquires. This wall was removed some forty years since, and a wooden fence built, which in turn was taken away, and in 1893 the present substantial iron fence erected on Massachusetts Avenue, Garden Street, and the northerly boundary. This God's Acre, as it is often called, contains the dust of many of the most eminent persons in Massachusetts: the early ministers of the town, Shepard, Mitchel, Oakes, Appleton, Hilliard, and others; early presidents of Harvard College, Dunster, Chauncy, Willard; the first settlers and proprietors, Simon Stone, Deacon Gregory Stone, Roger Harlakenden, John Bridge, Stephen Daye, Elijah Corlett; and, later, the Lees, the Danas, Allstons, and Wares. It is much to be regretted that so many graves remain unmarked, and equally so that the names of tenants of many costly tombs are unknown by the very imperfect registration, or want of registration, in the town records. Some tombs of once prominent families, who have become extinct, were built on a level

agination of thousands of persons who never saw them its river, marshes, and bridges. It adds to the interest of living in any place that famous authors have walked in its streets, and loved its highways and byways, and written of its elms, willows, and chestnuts, its robins and herons. The very names of Cambridge streets remind the dwellers in it of the biographies of Sparks, the sermons of Walker, the law-books of Story, the orations of Everett, and the presidencies of Dunster, Chauncy, Willard, Kirkland, and Quincy. Cambridge is associated in the minds of thousands of Americans with scientific achievements of lasting worth. Here lived Dr. Benjamin Waterhouse, the first Hersey professor of physic, who introduced the kine-pox into America, and John Winthrop, Hollis professor of natural philosophy from 1738 to 1779, one of the very earliest students of the phenomena of earthquakes, the friend and correspondent of Benjamin Franklin, and the man whose lectures Benjamin Thompson (Cou

A respectable number of delegates were in attendance. Hon. Sidney Willard, of Cambridge, was elected President, and E. L. Capron and Amasa Walker Vice-Presidents. When the roll of members was about being made out, I rose and suggested, that, as mistakes often occur in procuring signatures, each individual should write his or her name on a slip of paper, &c.; thus mooting the vexed woman question at the very outset. There was a smile on the countenances of many abolition friends, while others in the Convention looked very grave. Several of the clergy were
