The courteous customs officers furnished us her registration as of Boston and Charlestown, June 24, 1825.

xiliary societies in the various states, both north and south, and from these we quote an extract reproduced from the Norfolk (Va.) Beacon of February 26, 1826:— Ship Indian Chief, Capt. Cochran, sailed from this port, Wednesday last 5th, for thRev. Horace Sessions, an agent of the Society, who proposed to return in the same vessel, and also the Indian Chief from Norfolk with a much larger company. . . . The first sailed from Boston on the fourth of January and arrived at Liberia on the second of February, the other left Norfolk February 15, arrived March 22. Eighteen of the emigrants in the Vine were just before their departure at their own request organized into a church and the impressive exercises of the occasion were attended wins a half column letter of Rev. Lott Cary, telling that the expedition from Boston has suffered more loss than that from Norfolk, and expressed gratitude for the recovery of Rev. Mr. Holton, whose sickness had been alarming, but that he preached las

to begin at Northfield gives additional interest. In the fifth generation of Holtons we find that grandfather Nathan Holton was born in Northfield in 1753. He was the youngest of his father's family of six daughters and three sons, whose home was on the slope of Grass hill, where is now the Mount Hermon school. There, also, King Philip made his last stand against the settlers, a century before. The genealogy in History of Northfield mentions Nathan, but tells of his removal in 1800 to Vermont. How much we wished for the missing pages of that letter! But we took up another clue, that of the colonists it mentioned. After a long search we found, in the Massachusetts State Library, reports of the American Colonization Society. That society was organized in 1816 for the purpose of transporting free and manumitted negroes to Africa, and in 1819 Congress appropriated $100,000 in aid of its work. Henry Clay was a long while its president and Francis Scott Key its vice-president,

tal records of Gill, Mass., mention his birth thus: Holton. Calvin, son of Nathan and Hannah, b. Mar. 16, 1797. As Gill was incorporated in 1795 and Nathan Holton removed in 1900, there is no other mention of the family. Of his boyhood, education and young life we have as yet found nothing, until the following in the Watchman of December 2, 1825:— At Rev. Dr. Abbott's meetinghouse in Beverly, Mr. Calvin Holton was ordained an evangelist; charge of fellowship by Rev. Mr. Nelson of Lynn. He is destined for the American settlement at Liberia. On March 8, 1826, Captain Grozier of the Vine wrote from Pernambuco to Ropes, Read & Co.:— I had thirty-four days passage to Liberia, where I landed all my passengers in good health. They were received as brothers and sisters by the other settlers. They were much pleased with the place. It is a delightful place. I was detained ten days, the Governor being absent on my arrival.

We quote from its page 5:— He sailed Jan. 1826, with Mr Sessions, agent of Colonization Soc., Mr. Force a printer, and a large number of colonists in the ship Vine, arriving at Liberia in thirty-four days. He died July 23, 1826, of climatic fever. At once this query arose, To whom did the pronoun he refer? And the lack of the preceding but mhe rigor of the pilgrims' first winter and its mortality, the taking off of half their number. This letter of the Vine's captain is the beginning of bad news from the African colony. On June 9 the Watchman said: We are sorry to state that Mr. Force, late of Boston, after publishing a few succeeding weeks of the [Liberia] Herald, has deceased. Mr. Sessions is also dead. Dr. Peaco is sick, but Mr. Ashmun and the colonists generally are in good health. The issue of June 16 contains a h
