It passed into the hands of William Parker, of Cambridge, who moved a small house from Cambridgeport to this place, which was the first dwelling-house on Stony Brook. After the Messrs. Roberts purchased the property the wooden buildings were burned, and the present establishment arose from their ashes.

nd insured for the benefit of the Town. In 1863 Father Ryan died, borne down by the weight of his toil and labor. He was succeeded by the Rev. Thomas Scully, who had been an army chaplain, and while in the South with the Massachusetts soldiers was captured and confined in Libby Prison. This broke down his health, as it did that of so many others, causing him to resign from the army when he was freed. He was assigned to Medford and Malden, where he remained until 1867, then going to Cambridgeport. Two brief terms of service of the Revs. John McShane and Michael Carroll were followed by the long and notable pastorate of the Rev. Thomas Gleeson, which extended over sixteen years. Although the Church of St. Mary was in Medford, it was near the boundary of Malden, and was much better adapted to the wants of the Malden people than to those who lived near the center and on the other side of Medford. As the latter town increased in population and wealth, so did the Catholics incr

Eastern Items. Boston,March 16. --Four Gloucester fishing vessels, for the Georges Banks, have been missing several weeks, and are probably lost, with from thirty to forty lives. The Methodist Church on Harvard street, Cambridgeport, was destroyed by fire at about midnight. Loss $15,000--insurance $5,000. Nearly one foot of snow fell between ten last night and this morning, which is greatly rifted by the strong northeast gale. It ceased snowing here at about noon. There has been no serious obstruction of the railroads, the various trains due this forenoon being behind only from one to three hours.

ss for a long while, he had the reputation of standing A 1, and from a general knowledge of this fact does the surprise at the occurrence principally arise. In 1857 the firm of Bigelow, Ball & Knight failed, but they gave the excellent dividend of eighty cents on the dollar, and continued under the new title of Bigelow & Knight. So organized, the firm remained until a month or two ago, but recently Mr. Bigelow purchased the interest of his partner, (Mr. Samuel D. Knight, who resides at Cambridgeport,) and paid him with his own notes endorsed by a brother at the West. These Mr. Knight still holds, and there is at present the possibility, if not the probability, of his being one of the greatest sufferers. On Friday night last, on leaving the store, Mr. Bigelow told his book-keeper that he should return at 12 M. on the following day. The promise was not fulfilled, nor has he, up to the present time, made his appearance. As surprise began to be created at the store at his non-arr

Disturbance at Harvard College. --The faculty of Harvard College have suspended nine students of the Sophomore class for terms of one to two years, for an attack on two freshmen, followed by some riotous demonstrations. On Wednesday an express wagon was procured, into which the expelled students were placed. A long rope was attached to it, and the Sophs drew their disgraced classmates around the square, and took especial pains to make a marked demonstration in front of the President's house. From thence they proceeded on their way to Boston, dragging the wagon in triumph. On reaching Cambridgeport, a ring was formed around the wagon, and a dance peculiar to the students, and utterly indescribable, took place. When this ceremony was concluded, the march was resumed for Boston.
