moving in snake-like manner and
then as suddcnly disappearing The
gaze of all was now directed TO the spot,
anxious to see if another exhibition would
be vouchsafcd. Nor was their curiosity
disappointed: The same foam, the same
moving, sealy ridges, as if some monster
was propelling itself through the water
again were revealed. This time the sur
face of the object seemed to be some seven
or eight feet in length, and then it disap-
peared, apparently swimming away down
the lake. 50 many gentlemen saw this
sight, and the story told is SO identical in
all its parts, that we are really disposed
to place some confidence in the oft ridi-
enied story OF a sea-serpent or lake SER

| MATTHEW NAssAR--News OF the de.
cease Of Matthew Vassar, founder of the
INassar Female College of Poughkepsic
was given Wednesday. Mr.. VaSsar had
not quite attained his sovcnty-scvcntl
year, having been born in the county OF
Norfolk, England, in l,92. Four Yeas
after his birth his father cmigratcd 10 thi,
country, and in 1901 commenced brew
cry in Poughkeepsie. The deceased fol-
lowed the same business, and by dint Of
hard labor and economy amassed large
fortune. In 1861 he transferred to trus-
tees incorporated for the purpose over
100000 for the founding of the female
college which bears his name. About
two years after the necessary buildings
were completed, and since then the col.
lege has been in successful operation.
Mr.. Vassar always felt the deepest inter
terest in the welfare of the city Of Pough-
kcpsie and did much toward promoting
its prosperity. He was most kind
hearted, liberal man, and in the Vassar
College has left ii monument to his memo
ry which will last for many years
The particulars of the death of Mr..
Vassar, at the college of which he was the
founder, and in the midst OF his farewell
speech TO the trustees, are as follows:
After the election of trustees had taken
place, Mr.. Nassar commenced reading his
and continued until it was nearly finished,
when he found difficulty in enuneiat-
ing a word, and, after making a second
attempt to pronounce it, he leaned back
in his chair, and in an instant afterward
he was dead. 1t is perhaps little singu-
lar, when the circumstances of Mr.. Vas
sar's death are taken into consideration,
that the following was the concluding
portion Of his address: "And now gen
tlemen in closing these remarks, l would
humbly and solemnly implore the Divine
Goodness to continue his smiles and fayors
in yonr institution and bestow upon all
hearts connected herewith. His love and
blessings, having peculiarly protected us
by his providence through all our college
trials for three consecutive years without
a single death in our border or serious
illness OF death of one of our pupils with.
in its walls. Wishing you, gentlemen, q
continuance of health and happiness,
bid you cordial and final farewell,
thanking you kindly for your official at
tention and services, not expecting, from
my advanced years and increasing mfr
mites, to meet with you officially again
and imploring the Divine Goodness It
guide and direct you Alright in all your
counsels and social business delibcra
tons 1t was stated previous to the as
sembling OF the board that he looked un.
usually well and appeared to be in I'M
