Young was born in Boston, in 1800, and was the son of Alexander Young, a printer. He graduated at Harvard College in 1820, and, on the 19th of January, 1825, was settled as pastor of the Sixth Congregational Church, of Boston, as the successor of Rev. Dr. Greenwood, and continued in that office until his death. After the death of Dr. Pierce, of Brookline, he was Secretary of the Board of Trustees of Harvard College, until the expiration of his term of office. Besides a volume of occasional discourses, Dr. Young has given to the world two works, entitled "Chronicles of the Pilgrim Fathers of the Colony of Plymouth," and "Chronicles of the First Planters of the Colony of Massachusetts Bay, from 1623 to 1636," both of which are edited with great acuteness and fidelity. His notes in them are regarded as weighty authority on the subjects to which they relate, even when conflicting with the opinions of other historians.

Oct. 2.- At the Observatory, Paris, in his 68th year, Dominique François Jean Arago, Director of the Observatory, Perpetual Secretary of the Academy of Sciences, and Grand Officer of the Legion of Honor. He was born in the village of Estagel, near Perpignan, in the Pyrenees, Feb. 26, 1786. In the college at Perpignan he studied mathematics with great zeal, and entered the Polytechnic School with the highest honors. In 1806, at twenty years of age, he was appointed Secretary of the Board of Longitude, and soon afterwards he became an assistant to Biot in measuring the arc of meridian in Spain. When the war broke out, Arago was taken prisoner. Liberated by the Spaniards, he was captured by an Algerine corsair, and kept in captivity until 1809. At the age of twenty-three he returned to Paris, and, on the death of Lalande, was elected a member of the Institute of France, in the Astronomical Section, and was soon after appointed Professor of Analysis, Geodesy, and Social Arithmetic in the Polytechnic School. Arago was the author of more than sixty distinct Memoirs on various baches of science. His first essay, read before the Institute on the 24th of March, 1806, was an investigation, in which he was assisted by Biot, "On the Affires of Bodies for Light," and particularly on the "Refracting Powers of Different Gases." He established, in connection with M. Gay-Lussac, in 1816, The Annales de Physique et de Chimie," and on his pressing representation, July 13, 1835, the Academy commenced, under the charge of its Perpetual Secretaries, "Les Comptes Rendus Hebdomadaires." In 1830 Arago was made Director of the Observatory, and he succeeded Fourier as a Perpetual Secretary of the Academy of Sciences. His remarkable activity of mind and unwearying industry led him without difficulty through an amount of labor that would have overwhelmed an ordinary man. In politics he was Republican, and in his political writings are found evidences of a bold and liberal mind, ever alive to the social interests of his fellow-men; as a Deputy, he delivered a great number of speeches to the Chamber. In 1848 he was elected a member of the Council-General of the Seine. He was named a member of the Provisional Government, and Minister of War and Marine, ad interim. He refused to take the oaths to the government of Louis Napoleon. It is said that troubles in his latter days did much towards causing his death.
