HANOVER, N. H. Here are deposited the remains of mrs. MARY, consort of hon. B. Woodward, and daughter of rev. Eleazar Wheelock, D. D. born, 8 Sept. 1748, died 26 March, 1807. She was a dutiful daughter and an estimable companion, a tender mother and a kind neighbour. The religion of Jesus shone in her life and brightened her path through the vale of death. Her example hath left an indelible impression on the hearts of her acquaintance, who, while they lament their loss, rejoice in her gain.

In testimony of unfeigned affection the Society of Social Friends have consecrated this marble to perpetuate the memory of their highly esteemed brother, LEVI NEWCOME, member of the senior class, Dartmouth college, who died, 23 April, 1810, aged 20. In Newcomb dwelt a sound and vigorous mind, By science nurtur'd, and by taste refin'd; A heart benevolent, sincere, and warm, A mien combining every winning charm.

With social affection and virtuous mind, BENNINGTON, VER. 316. In memory of the rev. mr. JEdidiAH DEWEY, first pastor of the church in Bennington, who, after a laborious life in the gospel ministry, resigned his office in God's temple for the sublime employment of immortality, 21 December, 1778, in the 65 year of his age. Of comfort no man speak! Let's talk of graves, and worms, and epitaphs, Make dust our paper, and, with rainy eyes, Write sorrow in the bosom of the earth. Note. The author of this collection makes the following statement by the aid of his worthy friend, the rev. William Allen of Pittsfield. The rev. mr. Dewey, who was a native of Westfield in Massachusetts, had not the benefit of a publick education. About the year 1743, or 1744. having commenced a preacher, he became the pastor of a separate congregation in Westfield, in which station he continued about nine years. He then re moved with his people to a place in the county of Dutchess, in the state of New York, called the Nine Partners. In this place he continued for six years. In 1760, or 1761, he took his departure thence to Bennington, in Vermont, and was one of the early settlers of that town. If he had been favoured with a liberal education he would have made a distinguished figure. He was a man of strong mind and of a most tenacious memory. As a scripture textuary he had few equals. The excellence of his character may be comprised in one word. He was an eminent instance of unfeigned piety. WESTMINSTER ABBEY, GR. BRIT. 317. The province of Massachusetts Bay, in New England, by an order of the great and general court, bearing date, 1 February, 1759, caused this monument to be erected to the memory of GEORGE LORD VISCOUNT Howe, brigadier general of his majesty's forces in North America, who was slain, 6 July, 1758, on his march to Ticonderoga, in the 34 year of his age, in testimony of the sense they had of his services and military virtues, and of the affection their officers and soldiers bore to his command. He lived respected and beloved. The publick regretted his loss. To his family it is irreparable. WESTMINSTER ABBEY, GR. BRIT. 318. To the memory of JAMES WOLFE, major general and commander in chief of the British land forces on an expedition against Quebec, who, after surmounting, by ability and valour, all obstacles of art and nature, was slain in the moment of victory, on the 13 of September, 1759. The king and parliament of Great Britain dedicate this monument. Note. The two last inscriptions may be found in a work entitled Westminster Abbey and its Cữriosities. The fall of the brave Wolfe and Howe was equally regretted in Great Britain and the American cólonies, which, at the time, formed a part of her enpire. The history of the gallant exploits of those martial heroes is well known and needs no recapftulation in this place. QUEBEC, L. CAN. 319.
