Obituary.

Prof. Silas II. Pearl, Principal of the New
Hampshire State Normal School at Ply
mouth in that State, died on Monday, the
4th inst. Mr.. Pearl was born at Albany VT,
July p, 1888 and was the son of Benjamin
Pearl of that place. He was fitted for col
lege at the academy in Craftsbury, and en-
tered the University of Vermont in 1855.
lie was graduated with honor four years
later. Among his classmates were Messrs
Charles f. Allen and II. H. Talcott, of this
city.
Soon after his graduation he was married
to Miss Lydia White, of Craftsbury, and en-
tered on his chosen profession of teacher at
Danyille, Canada, where he remained until
1863, when he took charge of the academy
at johnson, Vt. Here he continued to
teach until 1867, when the academy became
one of the three Normal Schools of the State.
Mr.. PEARLS marked success as teacher, as
well as acknowledged influence and inter
est in the cause Of education, induced the
State Board of Education to unanimously
nominate him for the position of Principal
of the new Normal School at johnson, a
nomination which met with the approval of
the Trustees of the School. This position
he continued to hold till 1871, when he
was induced to accept similar position
in the New Hampshire State Normal
School at Plymouth Unassuming in
his manner, possessing a quiet, retir-
ing disposition, with the habits and
diligence of a true scholar, Mr.. Pearl did
not attract public attention so much by the
the brilliancy of his requirements as by the
practical and solid character of his qualif-
cations as a successful educator. His gen.
ial nature and sterling integrity won the
confidence and esteem of those with whom
he had to do, and the reputation he ac-
quired in his profession, during the COM
paratively few years in which he was al
lowed to discharge its duties, extended far
beyond the fields of his labor. His health.
never very firm, gradually yielded to the
confinement of his work, and his death at
the last was not unexpected by his friends.
He leaves a wife and two children to mourn
his loss

in the matter of the petition by the Yer
mont and Canada road, asking to bring an
action of ejectment against the receivers

titles them to resume possession of their

ion in order that he might confer with
his brethren of the supreme court at Mont
pelier this present week.

SEVENTEEN HUNDRED MEN ENGAGED IN IT.
The Port Henry Ironl Ore Company
Witherbees, Sherman & Co., and several
other firms, on Wednesday last discharged
l LOO men, members of the Miners As
ISOLATION, who had struck. 1t seems that
few days ago one of the foremen discharged
man for some good and sufficient reason.
The Miners Association straightway held a
meeting, decided that the foreman was
wrong, expelled him from the association,
and forthwith demanded that because he
was not member of the association, he
could not work in the mines, and he must
be discharged Immediately This, the pro-
prietors, after strict investigation into the
cause of the trouble, decided not to do.
Than the ultimatum came from the mines,
" Discharge him or we strike The
gauntlet thus thrown down, the owners
quickly picked up, with Strike if you
wish = and strike they did. As none Of
them went to work on Wednesday morning,
the owners ordered all the tools brought
up, the entrances locked, and steam blown
off from the hosting engine. This is the
present condition of affairs The miners say
they will go to work when the owners will
come to their terms. The owners decline to
do so and are prepared for n siege. Fears
are expressed that much trouble will result
from the miners movement.

Would you be kind enough to inform me through
the Christian We eky, how many constitute pair
OF twins, whether it Is two or FOUR subscriber.
Ans. A pain of twins is two. In a room
there may be four twins and yet no pair of
twins. Cor no two may belong to the same
family. \ twin is defined by Webster
I" one Of two produced at birth" Two
persons therefore, each Of whom is twin,
would be two twins but they would not be
pair of twins" unless they were each
the twin of the other.
The above Is copied from the New York
Christian Weekly, and in my opinion it is
an entirely erroneous answer to the ques-
ton asked. Undoubtedly-by Webster S
defnitirn-twins mean ttcO, for twin is
lone of tro, &c" Now supposing we
take the terms twos and twins to be synony-
nous, as they may very well be taken in
this &C Sc. Any school boy will tell us how
many a pair of twos are-and necessarily a
pair of twins will be the sane-(i. e. ~
A pair means two and twins mean two, and
in conn Getting them as in the expression a
pair of twins We have two twos.

ENFORCEMENT OF THE LIQUOR LAw-CITI-
zENs' MEETNG.-A meeting of subscribers
to the fund for enforcing the liquor law in
this city was held Friday evening, at the call
Of the committee, Mayor Dodge presiding,
and W. W. Atwater acting as Secretary
pro tenn. The committee reported progress,
and informed the meeting that no expense
had yet been incurred, sufficient to require
an assessment to be collected on the sub
scriptions. Various questions were asked
of the committee, and important sugges-
tons were made, by several gentlemen
present, in regard to the most suitable and
efficient measures for carrying on the work.
Statements were made showing the salutary
effect, to a certain extent, of the demonstra-
tions recently made, and that no change of
purpose was thought of by any ofthose con-
eerned in the enterprise. 4 resolution was
offered and carried unanimously, that full
confidence be expressed in the wisdom and
fidelity of the committee, and that the
thanks of the meeting be extended to them
