ficent, might bear me bravely on. It was easy in those days to arouse that spirit of obedience to the will of the Lord, which, rather than adventure, leads men to deeds of noble daring. It was easier to move the cold nature of our New England men by exhortation than by allurement; they were rather Puritans than Cavaliers: and what Puritans can do when their blood is thoroughly up has been proved on many fields of battle. It was on the twenty-second of September, on Sunday, that the Rev. Dr. Lothrop, of Boston, while on a visit to our camp, preached to the Second Regiment in the front yard of the single house near its encampment at Darnstown. The enclosure was crowded with companies of our regiment. The road beyond and the edge of the adjacent field was filled with men from the division, silent and attentive. Out of his heart the preacher spoke, as if inspired. How could it be otherwise? There on either side of that river, where reposed the ashes of the Father of his Count

For the right of free negroes to bear arms in the public defence was at that day as little disputed in New England as their other rights. They took their places, not in a separate corps, but in the ranks with the white men; and their names may be read on the pension-rolls of the country side by side with those of other soldiers of the Revolution. In the Memoir of Major Samuel Lawrence (by Rev. Dr. Lothrop, pp. 8, 9) the following passage occurs:— At one time he commanded a company whose rank and file were all negroes, of whose courage, military discipline, and fidelity he always spoke with respect.

made famous by the sittings of the Radical Club. The parlors were very roomy, and were well filled by those who came to hear me. Among them was my neighbor, Rev. Dr. Lothrop, who, in speaking of these occasions at a later day, once said, I think that they were the best meetings that I ever knew. The conversation that followed thrty; Duality of Character; The Fact Accomplished. My audience consisted largely of my society friends, but was by no means limited to them. The elder Agassiz, Dr. Lothrop, E. P Whipple, James Freeman Clarke, and William R. Alger attended all my readings. After the first one, Mr. Clarke said to me, You have touched too many chordhat it would not follow. My last corrections were made in accordance with this feeling. A general regret was expressed when my little course was ended, and Dr. Lothrop wrote me quite an earnest letter, requesting me to prolong it if possible. I could not do this at the time; but while the war was at its height, I made a secon

rd Beers was an original proprietor, admitted Freeman March 16, 1636-7: Selectman most of the time from 1644 to 1675; Representative thirteen years, 1663-75. He was a grantee of seven lots, including twenty-five acres in 1st Great Dividend. His homestall was near Fresh Pond. He also purchased another on the south side of Mount Auburn Street, west of the old burying ground. He was for many years a licensed innholder.—Bond. of Watertown, was making ready to come to its relief. He and Captain Lothrop had been sent to Brookfield with their companies, from Boston, August 7th. On the 4th of September, as he drew near the town, still ignorant of the attack that had been made upon it, he was ambushed and himself and twenty of his band of thirty-six men were killed. He was one of four men sent out in 1669 by the General Court to examine this section of country, and was one of the first white men—perhaps the very first—to be buried in its soil. And it is not unlikely that his grave is v<

bookkeepers and artisans whose places of employment were in Boston, would abound in factories. In 1872, a mattress factory was built on Auburn street, and operated by A. J. Kittredge for a short time, when it was destroyed by fire. In those days a good way to observe the citizens of the village was to take position near the railway station about train time, which not being as frequent as in later years would assemble the villagers in compact gathering. To the earlier trains would come Mr. Lothrop from his home on Purchase street, the Wilson brothers, whose homes have just been removed to make room for the new church, William McLean and Franz Diebold, Franz Gockeritz and Thomas Osborn and Charles Hippisley, the printers, John Pitman, the fat and jolly boot maker, who kept the old curiosity shop in Brattle street, with his son Tom, and others also.

en. I think we were commencing to leave (slowly to be sure) the clinging vine period, which attitude was then considered the proper one for women. However that may be, I find on the list the names of Mrs. Sigourney and Grace Greenwood (Mrs. Lippincott). Among their male associates were Rt. Rev. Manton Eastburn, D. D., Bishop of the Diocese of Massachusetts; President Walker, of Harvard; President Sears, of Brown; Judge Bigelow, of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts; Hon. Rufus Choate; Rev. Dr. Lothrop, pastor of Brattle Square Church of Boston; Hon. Charles Sumner; Henry W. Longfellow; Father Taylor, of the Seamen's Bethel; Dr. D. Humphreys Storer; Gen. John S. Tyler; and others, too numerous to mention. I find that all the different religious denominations were represented, save the Roman Catholic, and I have not the slightest doubt that if Mrs. Smith had started her school fifty years later, Cardinal Gibbons would have appeared on the board, for she was very energetic and persuasi

ought safety in flight. Among the last to escape were two brothers, named Lothrop and Bates Cook, the former of whom, a few days previous, had had his right leg amputated above the knee and was now a helpless invalid. Lothrop, who in his crippled condition had no hope of escaping the scalping knife of the savages, beggement of the moment he urged his team to a faster gait; but a cry of pain from Lothrop caused him to slacken speed again; and catching up a gun he had the forethoughinto the sleigh, the prepared to defend his helpless brother to the last. Lothrop now perceiving the danger they were in, and knowing, in his feeble condition, d ran off to one side of the road, to draw the Indians, if possible, away from Lothrop. The ruse partially succeeded; but as a fierce looking Indian pursued Bates mns. Bates Cook afterward became Comptroller of the State of New York, and Lothrop occupied many positions of trust and distinction, but both now sleep their las
