n of a fire-engine in Cambridge is dated March 3, 1755, when, upon the motion of Capt. Ebenezer Stedman and others, referring to the town's agreeing with Henry Vassall Esq., who has an Engine and is willing the same should be improved for the town's use on certain conditions, the question was put whether the town would act on said motion, and it passed in the negative. In all probability, however, the town then possessed one or more engines. Boston had one before 1679, and seven as early as 1733; Drake's Hist. Boston, 431, 593. and Cambridge would not be likely to remain entirely destitute. Yet the machines then in use might seem almost worthless, compared with the powerful steam-engines recently introduced. The Town Record of Births and Deaths in the last three quarters of the eighteenth century is very imperfect; all the deaths recorded between 1722 and 1772 are contained on two folio pages.

Charles River Baptist Christ Church.—A comprehensive and interesting Historical Notice of Christ Church, is appended to a sermon by Rev. Nicholas Hoppin, D.
