ions of land have been made on the northern boundary, and by the further purchase of the Winchester estate on the south, so that to-day the whole area is more than sixty acres. The Broadway ground was disused in 1865, by authority from the General Court, April 29th of that year, as follows: Resolved, That the City Council of the City of Cambridge is hereby authorized, at the expense of the city, to remove the remains of the dead from the burial-ground between Broadway and Harvard Street in Ward number Two in said Cambridge, to the Cambridge cemetery, or such other burial-place in the vicinity of Cambridge as the relatives and friends of the deceased may designate and provide. Said ground shall be surrounded by suitable enclosures, and shall forever remain unused for a public street, unoccupied by any building, and kept open as a public park. This was faithfully carried out by the city council of 1868. Suitable walks were made, and ornamental trees, shrubbery, etc., planted, thu

ridge. Thus, in 1843, the three sections or wards of the town had each its high school, with a man for its principal and a woman to assist him. The high school of Ward One, as we have seen, was for girls. Inasmuch as it also contained girls of grammar school grades, it was as often called a high and grammar school as a high school. The high schools of Wards Two and Three were for both sexes, that of Ward Two being the only one in the town not associated with grammar school pupils. In 1847, the plan of uniting the high school pupils of the three wards was revived. A high school for the city (Cambridge had ceased to be a town May 4, 1846) was opened entire city. The ideas that had long and fruitlessly sought to make the high school organized in Cambridgeport in 1838 a high school for the town rather than for Ward Two had at last triumphed. One happy result of the triumph was the reduction of sectional jealousies and the growth of more sympathetic relations between the some

Esq., & Doct. Tho's Foster, which had been appointed in February, reported the following list of articles that they had procured, which were then exhibited to the Society, viz.:—3 Bathing Tubs, 2 Block tin bed-pans, 2 Block tin pint syringes, 1 Block tin half-pint syringe, 3 urinals, and 1 bed-chair. It was determined that these articles should be deposited in the hands of a suitable person resident near the centre of the town, The town at that time was but a small portion of the present Ward One. Probably there were seven hundred inhabitants. who should engage to keep them safely, and to deliver them to applicants under such conditions as the society might adopt. Inhabitants of other towns were not to use the articles, unless they were too remotely situated to avail themselves of similar advantages in their own towns, from which we are to infer that bath-tubs, etc., were known elsewhere in the vicinity. Every borrower was under bonds to return the articles clean and dry, and

m, proved successful for a few years. Mr. Farrar was esteemed for his social qualities, pure character, and philanthropic spirit. He was a man of considerable culture and contributed often to the press, gave lectures on various subjects, was active in the cause of education, and generous to young men in their efforts to secure its advantages. He was zealous also in promoting all movements in favor of temperance. He was never married. He died January 6, 1859. My informants think that Artemas Ward was a nephew of Mr. Farrar. In the spring of 1835 the trustees were fortunate to secure again the services of Miss Ann E. Whipple, this time to teach the year round, the second instance in the history of this school. The number of scholars enrolled was 116, and a most urgent petition, presented by Edwin Munroe and others, asked the trustees to recommend to the voters at town meeting the expediency of building another school building. The trustees complied, and the result was that by

er; on which Otis, the other chief head of the faction, stood up and declared that Hutchinson had received a warrant from the Lords of the Treasury for two hundred pounds a year out of the proceeds of the new duties; and distributing votes for Artemas Ward, he cried out: Pensioner or no pensioner; surely the House will not think a pensioner of the Crown a fit person to sit in Council. But for the warrant, confessed Hutchinson, I should have been elected. And that, added Bernard, would have put quite a new face upon public affairs. I, said Hutchinson, gave Ward a Lieutenant Colonel's commission in the Provincial Forces, thinking to bring him over;—he is a very sulky fellow. Hutchinson to T. Pownal, 7 June, 1768. The Government, repeated Bernard, should insist upon it, that the Lieutenant Governor and Secretary should have seats and votes at the Council Board without an election.

weight of the colonies. But he admitted that such a rule could not then be settled. In the same spirit spoke the elder Rutledge. We have, said he, no legal authority; and obedience to the measures we adopt will only follow their reasonableness, apparent utility, and necessity. We have no coercive authority. Our constituents are bound only Chap. XI.} 1774 Sept. in honor to observe our determinations. I cannot see any way of voting but by colonies, said Gadsden. Every colony, insisted Ward, of Rhode Island, should have an equal vote. The counties of Virginia are unequal in point of wealth and numbers, yet each has a right to send two members to its legislature. We come, if necessary, to make a sacrifice of our all, and by such a sacrifice the weakest will suffer as much as the greatest. Harrison, of Virginia, spoke strongly on the opposite side, and was very apprehensive, that if such a disrespect should be put upon his countrymen, as that Virginia should have no greater wei

in detestation; and in their letter to Gage, they censured his conduct, as tending to involve a free people in the horrors of war. In adopting a declaration of rights, the division which had shown itself in the committee was renewed. Here, said Ward of Rhode Island, no acts of parliament can bind. Giving up this point is yielding all. Against him spoke John Adams and Duane. A right, said Lynch of Carolina, to bind us in one case may imply a right to bind us in all; but we are bound in none country would at least distress British commerce enough to bring the government to reflection. But since their efforts to avert civil war might fail, John Adams expressed his anxiety to see New England provided with money and military stores. Ward, of Rhode Island, regarded America as the rising power that was to light all the nations of the earth to freedom. Samuel Adams urged his friends incessantly to study the art of war, and organize resistance; for he would never admit that the dange

two hundred and fourteen in number, appointed eleven men as their committee of safety, charged to resist every attempt at executing the acts of parliament. For this purpose they were empowered to take possession of the warlike stores of the province, to make returns of the militia and minute men, and to muster so many of the militia as they should judge necessary. General officers were appointed to command the force that should be so assembled. First of those who accepted the trust was Artemas Ward, a soldier of some experience in the French war. Next him as brigadier, stood Seth Pomeroy, the still older veteran, who had served at the siege of Louisburg.
