CHARLESTOWN-Sudden Death.—Mr. Edward Riddle, proprietor of the carriage depository in Haymarket Square, was struck by apoplexy while at the breakfast table this morning and died before the arrival of the physician, who was immediately called. Mr. Riddle was a genial gentleman of great energy and public spirit. He was officially connected with the great Exposition in Europe a few years ago, and was one of the most active citizens of Charlestown, where he resided. His sudden death has cast a deep gloom over a wide circle of friends and relatives.-Transcript, May 11, 1871.

The following notice was published in the Charlestown Saturday Chronicle for May 13, 1871:

EDWARD RIDDLE, Esq.-We are called upon to-day to make the sad announcement of the death of Edward Riddle, Esq., of this city, which event took place at his residence on Thursday morning. He retired on Wednesday evening in apparently good health, but on awakening early next morning complained of feeling unwell. Medical aid was immediately summoned, but before the doctor could arrive he expired. The deceased was a native of Philadelphia, but has been a resident of this city for about twenty-five years. In 1851, Mr. Riddle was appointed United States Commissioner to the World's Fair in London, and his energy and enterprise alone gave the United States a representation in that exhibition. His report to President Pierce was a model document, combining as it did the observations of one who was in a position to see and competent to describe intelligently what he observed. In 1847, when Charlestown became a city, Mr. Riddle was elected to the Common Council, and in the following year, after having been re-elected, he resigned his scat. In his younger days, he was quite prominent in politics, and took an active interest in all the public movements. As a companion he was genial, kind-hearted and charitable. His good deeds were often done by the right hand without the knowledge of the left. Mr. Riddle was one of the original and largest subscribers to the Edgeworth chapel fund, and for some years after its erection supplied it with coal. For about twenty years, we believe, he has carried on the sale of carriages at his mart in Haymarket Square, and the building now Occupied was erected and owned by himself. His funeral will take place this forenoon from his late residence. Rev. Mr. Grinnell will officiate.

P. 183.-EDWARD P.' CUTTER, in a letter dated from office of John D. Cutter & Co., 92 Church Street, New York, Aug. 4, 1875, communicates the following important notes.

Pages 21-22.-ROLFE.-It seems to me almost certain that John Rolfe, of Nantucket and Cambridge, was the son and not grandson of Henry Rolfe, of Newbury (see p. 25). Their ages would appear to forbid the latter supposition. Jolin Rolfe m. Mary, dau. of Samuel Scullard, of Newbury, Dec. 4, 1656. Dau. Rebecca (3d dau. and 3d ch.), b. Feb. 9, 1652. Note t, p. 25, reference to Coffin. -There can be no doubt of the identity of Rebecca, as mentioned by Collin. Besides the chil. b. at Nantucket, named in note, J. Rolfe had (b. at Newbury) Mary, b. Nov. 2, 1658; d. next mo.-Mary, b. Jan. 16, 1660.—Rebecca,`b. Feb. 9, 1662.

P. 58.-BRADBURY.-Dorothy Bradbury, b. March 27, 1708, fourth child and dan. of Jacob Bradbury, of Salisbury, and Elizabeth (Stockman), his wife. She was the granddau. through the mother, of Maj. Robert Pike, of Salisbury, and through her father, of the Rev. John Wheelwright and Mary (Hutchinson), his wife-and on the same side of Capt. Thomas Bradbury (early at Agamenticus, and after of Ipswich and Salisbury) and Mary (Perkins), his wife-all well-known names. Mary (Perkins) Bradbury was accused of witchcraft, when past 80 years of age, tried, and sentenced to death in Salem, Sept., 1692, but not executed, and released after long imprisonment.[Upham's Salem Witchcraft.]

P. 74.-GRAY.-Mehitable Gray, b. about 1739, dau. of Andrew Gray, who was a native of Harwich, Mass. His wife Zeruiah, widow of Andrew Ring (an early resident of North Yarmouth), and dau of Ebenezer Standish, of Plympton-whose father, Alexander Standish, was son of Capt. Myles Standish and wife Mary Alden, dau. of Jolin Alden. It is not certainly known if Mehitable Gray was dau. of Zeruiah, or of a supposed former wife of Andrew Gray.

P. 179.-MITCHELL.-Lucretia Mitchell, b. about 1770, m. Levi Cutter. Her descent is traced on the father's side to Experience Mitchell and Francis Cooke, of the early pilgrims, and on the mother's side (Loring) to the Massachusetts and Rhode Island stock of Loring, Baker, Rogers, Richmond, Paybody and Alden.

Pp. 180-181.-DICKS.-William Cutter, m. Margaret (not Margaret IV.) Dicks, dan. of Capt. John (not James) Dicks, of Portland, and wife Nancy (Stimpson) Dicks. Capt. Dicks was a native of Torphecan, near Linlithgow, Scotland, where the patronymic is Dick. Mrs. Dicks was born in Charlestown in 1772, and survived her hundreth year, dying in Boston in the spring of 1873.

P. 204.-Joux EDWARD CUTTER, in June, 1870, went to Minnesota and there remained till the close of 1872; was engaged in teaching, and partly in pioneering on the frontier. Spent two summers in making title under "Soldiers' Homestead Law," to a tract of land in Murray County, on the head waters of Des Moines River. Has since been in Maine, pursuing teaching and other work.

CHARLES DRINKWATER CUTTER, in Aug. 1871, came from Arkansas to Maine, and 29th of same month, m. Miss Julia Ann Hall, of Farmington Falls, Me. She was b. Feb. 9, 1849, dau. of A. S. C. Hall, Esq., of Farmington Falls, a manufacturer of slate, and d. of consumption, Jan. 2, 1872, after a married life of about four months. She was fair in person, gentle and refined in manners, intelligent and beloved by all; was christian in character, fragile in health, and already at ber marriage pulmonary disease had fastened upon her. After her death her husband returned to Little Rock, where he engaged in the political campaign of 1872. In June of that year he was admitted to the bar as an attorney and counsellor at law, and gave his attention chiefly to collection, etc. In the spring of 1874, when Hon. Joseph Brooks, by virtue of a decision of the Supreme Court of Arkansas, ousted Gov. Baxter from the State-House and assumed the governorship, C. D. Cutter was appointed on his staff as Acting Assistant Adjutant General, with the rank of Captain. On the decision of the U. S. Attorney General against the claims of Brooks, he (Cutter) returned to his former business. During this contest he was married (May 10, 1874) to Miss Mary Wallace Stuart, a teacher in the public schools of Little Rock. Miss Stuart was the dau. of Capt. W W. Stuart, a Highland Scotsman by birth, and in the Sepoy war an officer in the British Army, and subsequently an officer in the U. S. Army in the Mexican war, and in California, during the Rebellion, and who has been a miner in California and Idaho, and is now a stockraiser at Rock Creek, Idaho. Her mother, Martha (Sasseen) Stuart, was of French descent, and a native of Nashville, Tenn. Mary (Stuart) Cutter was born at Terre Haute, Ind., Feb. 1, 1849; was taken in childhood to California, and there remain

ed till 1868; then studied in Missouri, and afterward was three years a teacher in Little Rock; is a member of the Methodist church. In the summer of 1874, C. D. Cutter was prostrated from apparently robust health by bilious disorders, from which he partially recovered. On the 6th of September following, he was attacked by meningitis, and on the 7th, his twenty-ninth birth-day, died-the attack being of 19 hours duration. He lies buried in Oakland Cemetery, Little Rock, and his widow is now (July, 1875) at his childhood's home in Maine. Feb. 28, 1875, she gave birth to his babe:

Charles Stuart Cutter, child of C. D. and Mary (Stuart) Cutter, was born at Sabattis, Maine, Feb. 28, 1875; died on the same day.

The following are extracts from an obituary, written by Hon. Joseph Brooks, of Little Rock:

CHARLES D. CUTTER, Esq., died at his residence on Capitol Hill, at 3 o'clock, Monday morning, Sept. 7, 1874. It was the twenty-eighth anniversary of his birth-day. He was a native of Maine. His character, attainments and manner of life form and furnish an example worthy of imitation. Mr. Cutter was, as the phrase goes, a self-made man. His mother died when he was an infant; his father when he was but six years of age. Thus orphaned in tender childhood, he was carly cast upon his own resources. His education was attained first in the public schools of his native State, and afterward in the Maine Wesleyan Seminary, where he graduated honorably in 1868. After having spent some time in teaching, he immigrated to Arkansas, accepting a position as teacher for a time in the institution for the blind in this city. He has for the brief period of his citizenship here made unusual progress in position and public confidence. * His integrity and fidelity of friendship were of the noblest type. He leaves behind him a bereaved, almost heartbroken widow and bride-their marriage only antedating his death by four short months. So sudden and terrible a stroke is rarely experienced. On Saturday the deceased was in the city in company with his wife; on Monday he was conveyed to the tomb. *** The funeral services were conducted at the Centenary Methodist Episcopal Church, by Rev. Mr. Gillem, and at the grave by the Masonic Fraternity. Of these two organizations he was an honored member. Peace to his ashes!

ALDERMANIC HOSPITALITIES.-The Mayor and Aldermen and a few other gentlemen enjoyed the hospitalities of ALDERMAN CUTTER, yesterday, at his beautiful summer residence and native place, Jaffrey, N. H. A special car on an early morning train and return at night by way of the Clinton and Fitchburg, the Monadnock and other connecting railroads, a ride of several miles about the town and near the base of the Monadnock Mountain, the pure air, which gives invigorated health to multitudes of city people, the enchanting autumnal scenery, with the attentions of the host and of Superintendent Blood, of the Clinton and Monadnock Railroads, and a provisional supply equal to "three days rations," made it a marked fall field-day.-Boston Transcript, Oct. 1, 1871,
