A Pause i'm a Busy Life.

To-day Rev. Dir. FL. P. Torsey of Kect's
Hill, starts on a journey to Florida, where he
will seek to regain his health which has of late
become much impaired. His long continued,
unremtting educational labors have at last had
their effect even upon bis superb physical struc-
ture, and pause for recuperation is impera-
lively demanded. Dr. Torsey is really re-
warkabe man. His connection with the school
at Kents He'll as pupil and teacher covers a
space of thirty-seven years, beginning at the
age of seventeen, with an interval of only four
years shortly after graduation. At the time of
his taking charge of the school it was a small
and comparatively insi gnifcant institution, but
under his vigorous care it has become the Lang
est institution of the kind in Maine and one of
the best in the country. The catalogue of this
year shows an attendance of over $50 pupils.
The DR. is admirably endowed by nature for
this peculiar work. He is strong in mind and
body, with great, wholesome, hearty, genial
nature, ready insight into character and hap
py faculty in developing and encouraging the
good and REFRESHING the bad in those under his
care. He has always promoted healthful
sports and diversions among his pupils and is
himself a mighty hunter and fisher He enters
heartily into the thoughts and feelings of the
young and wins their confidence and love to a
remarkable degree, justifying the title given
him by the lions Herald of 1.-The Yankee Dr.
Arnold" Thousands all over the land owe to
him an incalculable debt for wise and kindly
direction and instruction in the critical time of
YOUTH and his later years have been cheered by
constant testimonials of affection from grateful
graduates.
Besides his school work he has done much
for che general cause of education in the State
by lectures before Teachers Institutes and in
many other ways. His great life work, how
ever, has been the building up of the school at
Kent's Hill. and the history Of his connection
with this school would make a most entertain
ing volume, which we hope may sometime be
written.
DIR. Torsey carries with him in his southern
journey many earnest hopes that he may be
thoroughly restored to health and may be spar
ed for many years of usefulness.

The Dead Chief Justice

The address of Judge Clifford, as senior JUS
