Private Advices from Athens.
Communicated by a recent Traveller in Greece
From letter recently received from friend
in Athens, we learn that the Rev. DR.. Hill, for
more than twenty tiveyears missionary from
the Protestant Episcopal Church in this coun-
try, has been seriously i'll, though he is now in
a convalescent state. The ravages of the chol-
era in Athens have been fearful. In many in
stances, whole families have been taken, and
in various parts of the city, one sees numbers
of houses. whose inmates have died, closed by !
the authorities. Everybody that could leave, |
went away; all except the missionaries; they
stayed valantly at their post. The mission
school of DR.. Hill was opened after the summer
vacation, with hundreds of scholars, but was |
obliged to be closed in few days. on account
OF the frighttul spread of the cholera.
To show the esteem and high respect in which |
Rev. DR.. Hill is held by those in authority in
Greece, will here say he was chosen by the
Government as one of the Commissioners sent
to the Island of EubGa, to investigate the affair
of the shocking murder Of Mr.. Leeves and wife,
which happened few months since. All the
documents in relation to this mournful tragedy
were translated into English by DR.. HILL and |
forwarded by him to England.
King Ohio manifests the warmest interest
in the American mission school, and has sever
al times visited it, always expressing great sat
lsiaction at the work there going on. The laws
OfGreece forbid any thing like PROSECUTING, and
therefore the only field there for foreign mis-
sionaries is the schools, which thus far have
been eminently successful. For a quarter of a |
century, DR.. and Mrs. Hill have devoted all
their energies to this work. Hundreds and |
hundreds of children have been educated under

as we'll as in the Greek aud IOnian islands.
Who can estimate the silent, unseen good that
may yet be promoted by these children. Seeds |
of trath have been implanted in their minds. |
which it is to be hoped will spring up and bear
abundant fruit A.E.
