was born in New Hampshire. At an early ago he az
tracted the attention Of Miss W, Of Springfield
Mass, the sister Of one Of most respected State
Senator'S This lady, admrmg the intelligence and genius
exhibited in young Sanborn, assisted procuring him
entrance into Harvard University, where he gradual
with distinction in 1866. Afar this his bsncfac

Sanborn inherited her estate, which, although not very
large, was acceptable addition TO tho capital of

their anti slavery tendencies although its representative

vocate Of hts peculiar IDEAS which are In fact Of
the copsceDce whg" order than anything else Some
time after graduating from Harvard Mr. Sanborn having
studied no proession opened h school for young ladies'
IN Concord, this State This SCHOOL has now been in
sence for about four years. and ut this time nubcrs
some sixty pupils, whose ages vary from the budding
years Of ten and fifteen 10 the bossoming u sixteen
and upwards. From this fruitful feld on moro than one

Sanborn was known TO the Boston public previous TO
his present notoriety account Of his having delivered
poem before the Mercantile Library Association in this
city, we believe in 1858. He is one Of the in
breeches poets of Massachusetts, but his effort this
occasion did mol warrant the Association in undergoing
the expense Of having printed He has been the fund
master OF the Massachusetts, Fmgrant Aid Society and
such, probably knows much about where the money
went anybody in the abolition ranks If he had been
called to Charlesown during the late trials his testimony
would doubtless have been interesting and important
At this distance however, he appears remarkably harm
less just about this time Still there may be something
more behind the Northern abolition scenes and there may
be yet another actto follow the Harpers Ferry tragedy
