church at Xorridgewock. In January, 1723, a 

 band of 300 men, under Col. Thomas Westbrook, 

 succeeded in reachinjr the mission, burnt-d the 

 church, and pillajied Rasle's cabin. There th.>y 

 found an iron box, which contained, besides liis 

 correspondence with the authorities of Quebec, 

 a valuable dictionary of the Abeua\i language 

 in three volumes. In 1724 a party of 208 men 

 from Fort Richmond surprised Norridgewock 

 in the night, killed several Indians, and shot 

 Kasle, who was in the act of esca])ing, at the 

 foot of the mission cross. His body waa after- 

 ward mutilated b5' the incensed soldiery, and 

 left without burial ; but when the Abenakis re- 

 turned a few days later, they buried his remains. 

 In 1833 the citizens of Xorridgewock raised a 

 subscription, bought an acre of land on the spot 

 where Rasle fell, and erected there a monument 

 to his memory. — Appleton's Cyclop, of Am.
