 MT, John P. Brace died at bus resi- dence in this place on Friday mohing last. The later portion of MT. Braces life was spent in Hartford, and we clip the following obituary notice from the Cour- ant: aqt .,f ,.s,....s 5f,.-..-
 ''Mr. Brace was formerly principal of the Hartford Female Seminary, and for many years was editor of the Courant. Hs held, the latter position up to 1861, anl was then looked upon as a very old man. Subsequently he married second time and wealthy relative'in Litchfeld leav- ing him 8 handsome competence, he pro- ceeded to that place and has since lived there, though for a few years past he has been an invalid and most of the time bed ridden. l..g.gtv MT. Brace was an editor when the daily paper was quite different thing from what it is to-day Helwas able for many years to do all the work that was required to fill it's columns, the editorial variety being small, and the city or local news being only such as accidentally found it's way to the ofice His sanctun, in the old Courant office, on the corner of Main and Pratt streets, was about as dingy place as can be imagined, Many of our old cit izens will remember that old room in the | loft of the building, filled with books on all sides,-a valuable library too-and every thing in it covered with dust and cob webs. It was most uninviting place, yet there Mr. Brace edited the Courant, and very excellent editor he made too
 MT. Brace was the father of Charles l.. Brace, Esq. of Now York, who is we'll known in connection with various philan- thropic enterprises.
 Wo nxtrant tha falln.rri,,l e--,rI Iues<] ~ F | Tribune: szS John P. Brace, one of the oldest land most esteemed teachers of Connecticut, | died in Litchfeld on the 18th inst. He | was first teacher of the famous Academy of Litchfield, which was for so many years the leading educational institution for young ladies in New England, under the superintendence of the Misses Pierce. Subsequently Gin 1832) he became Prin- cipal of the Hartford Female Seminary. which, under his guidance, became equal ly celebrated. In these two institutions Mir. Brace trained d many young ladieslwho have since become leading women in so- ciety, charities or literature, throughout the land; among them Mrs. H. B. Stowe, Mrs. Isabella B. Hooker, Mrs. Cyrus w. Field, Mrs. Cornelius Du Bois of New York, Mrs. Wilson of Brooklyn, Mrs. Marshall O. Roberts, Mrs. Bliss and Mrs. Van Lennep of Hartford, the missionari- es, Mrs. Mccullough, the wife of the Uni 1 ted States Secretary of the Treasury, and numerous others who became wives o1 missionaries No other teacher in the United States has ever had so many in. fuential and intelligent pupils Subse- quently to these efforts, MT. Brace enter. ed the editorial profession, and was for a number of years the editor of The Hart ford Courant. Mr. Braces requirements were vast and multifarious. He was fit ted thoroughly in the studies of the three professions-law, medicine, and theology and could have entered any one with honor His knowledge of ancient and modern history was both wide and minute. In mineralogy he had made extensive re- searches and collections; in botany he was correspondent of De Candolle and oth. CT European botanists, and his valuable herbarium will be found treasure house of collections Even in out of the way subjects of investigation, such as heraldry astrology, the deciphering of ciphers and composing of music, he was singularly well-versed. But his great talent and his serv1ces were in the comparatively unknown but most useful, field of teacher. For the l past nine years he has been living in qui. ct and comfort on the old homestead ir the village of Litchfeld, enjoying the treasures of his ample library, and the society of his friends and pupils who gratefully remembered sssthe faithful teach
 CT" He died in a genial old age, tended witt unceasing care by his devoted wife, and most sincerely mourned by this comnuni ty. The only original literary works that Mir. Brace left behind him were mono graps of scientific subjects, and few DO emsns and works of fiction. His .Rreai work-and one never to decay or pass away-is in the mental training he i'm l parted to thousands of youthful mind. throughout the country, et <
