The Boston "boy swinder," Albert Henry
Hall, was born in Lowell, in 1854. HIS father
was killed at the battle of Gettysburg, and, at
the application of Gov. Andrew, the boy was
received at the Boston asylum and farm school
at Tbompson's island He was the son of a
hero, poor, and needed a home and education.
Good conduct and good character only are the
requisites for admission at the farm school. 1t
is not, in any technical sense, relormatory in
stituton. As charity, its object is the care of
INDECENT boys. Young Hall remained there for
several years, acquired good education and
became a marked member of the band, for his
musical talent was highly developed. He final
ly left the school, and, needless of the kindness
and advice OF the managers, started Off into the
world with minstrel troupe, subsequently fell
into bad company, which, step by step, has led
to his being branded as a thief and swinder.

AT Lynn, on the morning of the 9th, four
young Irishmen, named James Joy, James Fra
hel, William Dwyer and Thomas Donnelly,
hired boat and went TO the pines on Chelsea
beach for days sport. In the course of the
afternoon one of the party purchased a hatful
of CLAIMS, and they proceeded to dispatch them
raw. Almost Immediately every member of the
party was taken sick, when it was decided to
return to Lynn with all possible dispatch. Two
of the number exhibited the most alarming
symptoms before they could effect a landing.
FTahel walked less than dozen feet from the
boat and fell dead. Joy was carried into a shed
near at hand and survived only few moments.
Dwyer was also in a critical condition, but both
he and Donnelly are supposed to be out of dan
ger. A coroner viewed the dead bodies and de-
cided not to hold an inquest. 1t is supposed
that the effect of the hot sun and use of toe
much Stimulant may have been the partial
cause of the sad affair 1t is rumored, however
that other cases CT serious nature have re
suited from eating clans, and that in one cast
some chickens and ducks were killed by them
The suspicious are doubtless sufficient to cause
stagnation in the Lynn clam trade for the
present.

monument to the first commissioned officer il
the United States finds great favor with tn
military, while the sterling character of the OLE
hero is admired by all. 1t is hoped that by tn

gland, the dedication of the spot can Ibe held a

The proposal by one of the faculty of Viii
liams college, at the recent commencement tina

throughout the country, and it is probable tina

privately, take the matter into consideration

much divided among the alumni at Williams

before either party will be content to yield.
