Rev. Dr.. JOHN ToDD, pastor OF the First
Congregational church In Pitss6eld, Mass,
died at his home Sunday morning. Dr.
Todd was well known outside his pulpit, hsv.

DR.. Todd was born in Rutland, w., Octo.
Der 9, 1900. His father was Timothy Todd
M. D. Soon after his birth, the family re.
moved to Connecticut, and the father dying
when John was about six years of age, the
latter was left the youngest of large fami.
ly without means and with deranged
mother to support. By hard work and q
strong will, the younger Todd fitted himself
for college, studying for some time in Boston,
and at the age of eighteen entered Yale.
Graduating in 1922, he decided to enter the
ministry, and after three years. study he re-
ceived the diploma of the Andover theologi
cal seminary. He speut another year in the
same school, on scholarship, and on the
third of January, 1897; was ordained to
preach at Groton, Mass.
After pastorate of six years in Groton he
was settled over the Edwards church in North
ampton, which charge he surrendered after
three years to accept a call to Philadelp hia,
where Congregational church had just been
organized. He labored there SIX years,
gathered a large and influential congregation,
and left the church, at the end of that period
in a aourishing condition.
On the 10th oftFebruary, 1912, he was in

AN OLD SHIP TO BE DEMoLIsHED.-The OLD
unfinished ship of the I'm Virginia, at the
Charlestown navy-yard, is to be at once de-
molished! She has been on the stocks in one
of the ship-houses in the lower part of the
yard for half century, her keel having been
laid in 1921. Her keel is lS6 feet long, her
spar deck 2l0 feet, and her extreme breadth
81 feet. She is built of live-oak. She was
intended to be first-class ship, and to carry
"a guys and 1000 men. The ship house
which She occupies was built for her, but is
now wanted as a place for the construction
Of enc of the frigates recently ordered by
G ngress. TIE old ship was to be built un-
der an appropriation for the gradual increase
of the navy, which was made SOON after the
cessation Of hostilities in 1872. The Yer
mont, the Cumberland, sunk by the rebel
ram Merrimack during the rebellion, the
Sabine and Potomac, eisrer ships of Virginia,
were built under the same appropriation,
The Virginia is sound in every respect and is
copper bolted up to the water mark. There
is no document at the navy yard showing
her cost. The estimated cost of putting her
in re ,diness to launch Is $50 600. The esti-
mated cost of her demolition is $50, 900.
A number of old navy officers at the station
regret that she ie to be torn to pieces, being
Of the opinion that she would make fine
ship,to take the place of the Ohio,
which is quite out of repair. Otners hold
that she Is unfit for service, ard should be
put out of the way to make room Tor the
of modern frigates. There are
,tll others who think her demolition is a
political dodge, and done to have more men
employed in the yard. The order for her
destruction was received at IL o'clock,
w ednesday forenoon, and at clock a small
gang of men were at work upon her.-BOston

Rev. AANr NICHOLS of Braintree died at
the residence of his son, j S. Nichols, ESQ :,
on Sunday evening. He :had been for soms
time afflicted with cancer upon his lip, and
this was eventually the cause of his death
" PRIEST Nichols had attained the great
age of ninety-two years, and had to re-
markable degree preserved the powers of his
mind,
He was born in Royalston, Mass, Aug.
lO, 1871 and his family moved to Vermont
in 1887, staying a short time in Bethel, and
in October of that year coming to Brain.
tree. He begun the study for the ministry
with Rev. Elijah Lyman of Brookheld, and
it for time after under Rev.
Iilton Eastman, who was then in the first
years of his long pastorate in Randolph. AZ
forwards he studied with Asa Burton, DID.
of Thetford aud was licensed to preach BY
the Orange Association, Jan. 9, 1905. He
began preaching in Massachusetts, and was
appointed missionary by the Missionary So
ciety OF that State. His missionary work
was done in Northern New York and Vermont.
In December, 1906, he began preaching in
Braintree on probation and was on the 23d
of September, 1907, ordained. For nearly 40
years he continued the settled pastor of the
Congregational Society of that place, when
in 1916 he was dismissed, as he was about to
20 to the West. The next seven years be
preached in Dover, illinois, returning to
Bralntree 20 years ago. Until 1865 be
again preached regularly to his oil en-
gregation. He was town clerk from 1907 to
ls47. Probably no man living in the State
goes back with such clearness of memory to
events of the past century, when the State
was changing from a wilderness to a habita-
bic land as did Priest Nichols, nor will any
leave behind the record of a more blameless
life. The funeral was appointed to be at
noon to-day "wednesday the services to be
conducted by Rev. A. w. Wild of Green's
