Medford Historical Society Papers, Volume 18., An old-time Public and private School teacher of Medford, Massachusetts. (search)
cceeded by Mr. Henry G. Carey. Mr. Hathaway was a kindly man and was much beloved by his pupils; to illustrate this we quote from a letter from a lady, formerly a pupil of his school:— Aaron Kimball Hathaway was a true Christian gentleman, kind and sympathetic, a genuine scholar of the old school, his mind far out-reaching his frail body. The foundation of my early education is, in a measure, due to his intellectual influence. I attended his school, with my brother, in the years 1851 and 2. He always opened the school with devotional service, often supplemented with interesting talk on some moral subject. He was many sided, and interested in everything that was uplifting. He was most happy when seated at his desk, teaching. Helping to develop the minds of the pupils before him, he never discriminated; he had no special favorites, at least it was not evident. I think he made warm friends of nearly all of his pupils; his personality was such that the most unruly feared and re

arnett and Carter ran up. I heard Barnett say, what on earth are you going to do, Bernard? Are you going to kill a man on the ground? or shoot a man when he is dead?--or something of that sort. He had the pistol cocked and presented right at me. He did not make any reply to this. --Barnett ran right in and he and Carter took me up. I did not strike him at all at any time. I had nothing in my hand when he shot me. I had took up the little bed and brought it out and dropped it down. The time I had the cedar brush in my hand, was away out near the stable. I think when I overtook him I took hold of him — I think of his coat or arm — but did not strike him at all.--He pulled loose. We then went on to the house together, as stated." No further testimony was introduced for the Commonwealth, and the counsel for the prisoner did not desire to make any defence at this time. The magistrate then remanded the prisoner, to be examined before the County Court at the February ter

Virginia State Convention.Seventeenth day. Tuesday, March 5, 1861. The Convention was called to order at the usual hour. Prayer by the Rev. C. H. Read, of the 2d Presbyterian Church. Explanation. Mr.Mallory, of Brunswick, desired to explain the intent of his resolution, offered yesterday, having reference to a Convention of the Border States. In offering it, he had no ambition to gratify, and no expectation of winning laurels; but his position here required that he should explain it. He was sent here as a Union man, and he wished that the Union might have been preserved forever; but his constituents desired him to make no dishonorable sacrifices after the last effort had failed. The Peace Conference had failed to accomplish its purpose, and now he thought Virginia ought to take some action; hence he had proposed a resolution for a Conference among the Border States. He was opposed to the idea of a Central Confederacy, and if the question were presented to him

he child was between the wheels when it was picked up by Toppin. The horse was going pretty rapid. Haberstraw commenced whipping the horse about ten steps past the corner of Broad and 17th streets, pulling the reins, &c. The animal appeared to fret under the lashing. Henry Haberstraw, (the lad in the wagon,) testified that another wagon was before that of his father — about fifteen yards in front.--The dust flew up so that he could not see the child. Did not go fast — was walking a little — no body was whipping the horse. Witness had a whip in his hand. The Mayor said there was a conflict in the testimony, but that he should have to remand Haberstraw. It was out of his power to discharge him, the case being one of manslaughter. He would bail the accused in $500, for his appearance for examination before the Hustings Court, on the 2d Monday in the present month. George Lintz living near the Armory, entered himself as bondsman, and defendant was released from cust
