The militia were engaged in the distant conflict, and the main body of the detachment met no opposition in Cambridge, beyond the removal of the planks from the Great Bridge at the passage of the Charles River. These not being removed altogether, but piled by the bridge, were speedily replaced, and caused the main body little delay. But the wagon-train carrying the provisions and supplies for the troops was detained so long by this occurrence, th

The names of only three of the occupants of this grave, and these belonging to what is since West Cambridge and Arlington, are at present known. A plain obelisk of pure New Hampshire granite, about nineteen feet in height above the level ground, and encircled by a plain substantial stone and iron fence, which now stands above the grave, contains this inscription, inserted in the main shaft of the monument on a marble tabl June 24, 1848. The remains of the twelve occupants of the common grave were disinterred, and placed in a stone vault, now under the monument, April 22, 1848.

result of this advice Mr. Joseph Gardner was chosen minister on May 27, 1737, but after some extended negotiations which came to nothing, he sent a final and negative answer. Joseph Gardner, H. U. 1732, was afterward settled in the ministry at Newport. Mr. John Langdon Sibley of Harvard University furnishes the following note: Joseph Gardner of Bath, H. U. 1732, on May 15, 1740, was settled colleague pastor with Rev. Nathaniel Clap of Newport, R. I., and dismissed June 10, 1743; was justicNewport, R.

concealed, and kept running from front to flank, and from flank to rear, loading their pieces at one place and discharging them at another. This fire was continued till sunset. Beyond Lexington the troops were attacked by men chiefly from Essex County and the lower towns. Gordon says there were never more than about four hundred provincials together attacking at one and the same time, and often scarce that number. The British flankers entered the houses on the line of march, plundering an Salem Gazette for May 5, 1775, states, On Thursday the twentieth past, the bodies of eleven of the unfortunate persons who fell in the battle, were collected together and buried at Medford. Menotomy is occasionally confounded with Medford by Essex county writers on the battle. On the morning of the 20th, Capt. John Battle, of Dedham, was ordered with his company of militia, to pass over the ground which had been the scene of action the preceding day, and bury such of the slain as he should

e Boston Transcript enumerates the following earthquakes in Massachusetts. In 1663, two; in 1665, one; in 1727, a dozen shocks in one week, one of them of great violence; in 1728, sixteen in the month of January, and over a dozen during the spring and summer months; in 1729, twenty-seven; 1729 to 1743, fifteen; 1743 to 1770, nineteen. That of November, 1755, was the most violent, being felt in Europe and America, and resulting in the destruction of Lisbon, where 60,000 persons perished. In Boston many chimneys were demolished, and other singular effects were experienced throughout New England. The publications of the time are full of the matter. Another (No. 1328—June 14, 1772) conveys an impression that religion suffered neglect in the towns and parishes of New England at this period, for which the calamity of the time [the presence of British troops in their midst] was esteemed a judgment. Another (No. 1336—Aug. 16, 1772) states, We may well tremble under the apprehension

Samuel Cooke's diary is the following: 1740, Jan. 27. Preached twice—Heb. 11:6=vespere—conversed with Mr. Ammi R. Cutter. This was the noted Ammi R. Cutter, youngest brother of Dea. John Cutter, baptized at Cambridge, May 6, 1705, a graduate of Harvard College 1725, first settled minister of North Yarmouth (in Maine) 1730 to 1735, afterward a physician and keeper of a trading-house for the Indians, and captain in the Massachusetts forces at Cape Breton in 1745, where he died in the military service in 1746. April 20, 1740, Jason Russell was admitted to full communion by this church. He was one of the earliest members thus admitted, and was the same Jason Russell who was killed by the British here on April 19, 1775.

often practice to over-reach and cheat one another, and often to betray our friends and country for the sake of gain. * * * For though these vices are not universal, yet they are too commonly to be found among us. In the closing passage, we are counselled to live comfortably, and to be public blessings; to live desired, and die lamented. 1757 Aug. 13 or 14, 1757, Mr. Cooke preached a sermon on occasion of an eclipse of the sun this day, and the awful news of the surrender of Fort William Henry, the 8th instant. The text was Zech. 14:6, 7, and the subject was divided into two discourses. The sermon was repeated at Stoneham, Feb. 23, 1758; on June 4, 1773; at Lexington, Sept. 5, 1779; at Watertown, Sept. 12, 1779; and on May 21, 1780.
