RYadfO pd Celebration.

BRADFORD ACADEMY, Mass, May II, 1870.
The imposing edifice of learning to-day, con-
secratedi to the interests ofIChristian Culture,
stands on fine area Of twelve acres, beauti-
full for situation on the banks of the Merrimac
overlooking hi l and valley, mountain and riv-
er, 1t is of crucfOrm shape, adapted to con-
yenience and comfort with delightful promen-
AIDES and every modern appointment. 1t is
built and paid for at cost of $105000 includ-
ing land. The central hall holds 800 and its
acoustic proprieties are pronounced perfect.
The reception room, dormitories, teachers
laboratory, cabinet, &c, are finished in a STYLE
creditable to the builders and those who have
generously furnished the means. OF the his
tory of this pioneer institution of Female Sem
naries, since its founding, June 1903, the Me-
mortal Volume, by Mrs. DR.. Barrows lust is
sued in sumptuOus elegance, by the Congre-
gaticnal Publishing Society, gives full and
interesting account. which renders further de-
scriptiOu needless. That this town regards
with pride the completion of this noble edifice,
and makes this general holiday is but nat
ural. The presence of the Governor and other
honored guests, the musical and gustatOry adj
juncts, to say nothing of other attractions have
made this gala day despite the storm
AT ten O'Clock the exercises began with the
singing of "Gloria" from Farmers Mass. Rev,
Messrs Butler and Kingsbury conducted the
devotional services. Hon. George Coggswell,
Chairman of the Building Committee, deliv-
cred the key to DR.. Rufus Anderson, Presi-
dent OF the Board of Trustees, both of whom
in fitting terms extolled the purposes now re-
allied and the acts now celebrated The key
was then handed to Miss Abby H. johnson,
the accomplished principal, and touching ode
sung to the tune Aud Lang Syne. Rev. Phil
lips Brooks repeated his address given last year
at Brown University with certain felicitous
interpretations which made it fresh and timely
The Prophet scholar, the Philosopher, Worker
and Saint, devoted to goodness, truth, power
and character. The hurried utterance of Mr.
Brooks is serious drawback to the interest
which his choice thoughts naturally elicit.
The reading of poem by Rev. DR.. Barrows,
written by Mrs. G. A. Mason, concluded the
exercises. An abundant collation. was then
served to about 400 in the dining hall, and

THE New York PRESS ON THE MCFARLAND
TRIAL-The Standard says: 1.-The law has nc
real power to protect the marriage relation
Life may be taken, man by man, and the court
will become theatre of the murderer's glory.
Mr.. Graham has assured us over and over
again that Daniel Mcfarland was the defend
er of home, the champion of the hearth, the
protector of the marriage tie, the exponent OF
domestic virtue. So the jury have declared,
and their verdict passes into history. But who
is the defender in human life?'
The Sun hopes that this tragedy, with its
revelations of social corruption, its awful cat
astrophe OF death, and its prolonged exhibition
in The court room, may not be without good
and useful effects. If it shall avail to fix in the
popular mind clearer ideas of the sanctions of
the marriage tie, and of the duties of domestic
life, its darker and more shocking features will

be gathered from its teachings.
The World remarks that ore ground for the
leniency of juries in trials of this kind is that
unless a man takes redress into his own hands
the aggressor goes unpublished. 1t observes
also that juries feel there is no danger to the
community in the escape of this class of man.
slayers. If a burglar is let loose every house
is exposed to his depredations; but nobody has
anything to fear from man who has shot the
seducer of his wife.
The Tribune declines all comment, having
"full faith that the truth will ultimately vindi-
cate itself, and that justice will be done to the

HE ANGEL Acknowledgement
Vi great atrocity seem to have accompanied
the act OF murder of William p. ANGEL of
North providence, whose body was fished ont
ri pond near his residence as described on
Monday. The Providence Press saws tho
condition OF the body proved most conciusiva-
ly that most foul and brutal murder had
been committed. In the breast were fonnd
six bullet holes, huge cash was on the side
of the head, apparently .aade with club or
the head Of an axe. The side and thighs
were bruised as though they had been stamp
ed upon, and the body was otherwise horribly
mutilated. The body had not been robbed as
all his effects were found upon it, including
about SAT- in money. 1t would appear as
though he had been murdered cut of revenge,
or from desire to get him out of the way
certainly not for the purpose of robbery
On the news of the body having been
found being impaired TO Mr.. Angels family.
