ADDENDA. 



Hon. Nathaniel Silsbee, formerly of Salem, lias kindly furnished the 

 following note relating to Rev. Manasseh Cutler : 



Mr. Silsbee's father, Nathaniel Silsbee, attended Dr. Cutler's school, 

 and, with Willard Peele, harnessed the vehicle In which Dr. Cutler 

 went to Ohio. Dr. Cutler brought with him, on his return, a tulip 

 tree which he planted in his garden at Hamilton. It is said that 

 the tulip tree grows wild in the Magnolia swamp. 



This last statement has been made by others, although no specimens 

 of the tree have ever been seen from that locality. It is possible that 

 seedlings may have originated from Dr. Cutler's tree, but even 

 this is uncertain.
