NOTABLE CoINoIDENcE.-It is singular
coincidence that Prof. FELTON,, the new presi-
dent of Harvard College, and Dr. Leonard
Woods, the president Of Bowdoin College, in
Maine, should both have been born in New
bury, Mass, in the same month of the same
year. The former was born Nov. 6, 1907 the
latter Nov "A, 1907. The late Dir. Woods. of
the Andover Theological School, father of
president Woods, was pastor of the village
church at the time. In 1919 the town was di-
vided, and the birthplace of the two COLLEGE
presidents has since been known as "West"
Newbury. The late Simon Greenleaf, ID. d..
of the Cambridge law school, was native of
Newburyport President FELTON, has two em.
inent associates in the college, who were born
in his native place, namely-Theophilu Par.
sons, LII. d., Dane professor of law, and the
Rev. George r. Noyes, d. d., professor of
Hebrew and lecturer on biblical literature.

SABBATH SCHOOL UNION MEETING.-Rev.
j. w. Turner, missionary superintendent Of
the American Sabbath School Union for New
England, gave an able address at the Central
church, last evening, on the general interests
of the sabbath school enterprise. In reply to
the question, "IIow is the sabbath school
adapted to secure salvation, or what are its
elements of success ?" he said that an open
and free Bible, prayer, and the operation of
the holy spirit, and personal effort, were
among the first During the last year, 173
schools were organized by the missionaries of
the American Sabbath School Union in New
England, embracing 1884 teachers and 6812
scholars; 500 schools were aided, containing
4lS5 teachers and 40, $50 scholars The entire
number of new schools organized the last year
all over the country by this society, was 2091, =,
with Il, ,225 teachers and 83,278 scholars ;
schools aided, 370l, with 30, ,355 teachers and
2l5, l68 scholars. Total number organized
and aided the last year. 5792 schools, with
AZ, $50 teachers and 298 446 scholars. During
the last ten years, through the direct abors
of its missionaries, the American Sabbath
School Union has organized $4,000 new

The Fiery Visitor.

The extraordinary meteor which was seen
in this vicinity on Friday evening was visible
over large extent of country, and excited
very great admiration and wonder. 1t seemed
to come into the field of vision from the north
west, some thirty-fiye or forty degrees above
the horizon, and to move in southeasterly di-
rection When it was first seen it was of a
bright, blueish color, and was supposed by
many to be sky rocket. But as it moved
on, nearly parallel with the horizon, the me-
teor exploded, the two principal fragments, re-
sembling fire balls ofntense brilliancy, and as
large as the full moon, still sailing gracefully
through the heavens, followed by vast trains
of light, and dropping flakes of flame. The
marvellous spectacle was in sight for two or
three minutes. We have received descrip'
tions of it. as seen in this vicinity by many
persons. which do not essentially differ from
the above statement. Mr.. Brigham, at the
agricultural grounds on the new common
was first startled by the explosion, and looking
to the window, had distinct view Of the two
balls of fire, seemingly about two feet apart
and keeping at an exact distance as they NOV
ed horizontally in line a little south of cast
The noise was like the explosion of rocket
Others speak of hearing low, rushing noise
as the meteor passed over the city. Mr.. La
tlrop Bugbee of West Millbury, at the same
time, looking from his window, saw SO bright
a light that he thought the buildings were on
fire. In an instant, however, he observed the
meteor passing over the house from the north
west, in the direction of the "Ramshorn
Pond" where it had separated into several
balls, all of which were followed by bright
trains of light, apparently upwards Of one hun
dred feet in length. All the accounts agree
that the phenomenon had an apparent eleya
ton of but few hundred feet above the earth
The accounts given Of the meteor in other
places are peculiar and interesting 1t is com,
pared by witness, in the Hartford Press, ITO

at the large ends, of reddish flame color,

STRANGE TORTURE OLA CHILD.-Two per-
sons man and woman named Graf, living
near the "Sauk Trail Road, /" so called, near
the outskirts Of the city, have been-as has
been found out-for the past two years en-.
deavoring to kill one of their own children by
slow and torturing process. Last week com
plant was made to district attorney Kerr, who.
with Dr. Book, visited the interesting set of
South Sea Islanders. They found that the boy,
for the last two years, had been kept in a barn
or hovel, and not been allowed to leave it in a
single instance; and that for the last eight
days he had been confined in filthy hog pen.
with no opening i'll it excepting a small hole in
the roof. He had nothing to eat during the
eight days. Ills toenails were actually rot
ting off from the filth on them The bow
is thirteen years old, t0o feet high, and
weighs t'centy pounds. When young he
was considered bright and sensible child,
but by continued brutal usage he has
become an idiot-which latter is the reason as
signed by the mother for her conduct. The
proper authorities have the matter in hand,
and we trust thai justice will be meted out to
these worse than barbarians.
