Samuel and Ruth w. Poindexter. aged
81 years and months. She was a young
lady of uncommon promise-modest,

heart refined by religion, and gifted
mind enriched by culture. She was q
member OF the Free will Baptist church
six years and her scat was seldom vacant
in tho Sabbath School, or the sanctuary.
and her voice was heard daily at the
family altar. She was 3 successful
teacher, and was just ripening into a no.

wing overshadowed her pathway. Last
July she had lever which left her in a
decline from which she never recovered.
She improved gradually, and on the day
OF her death she stepped to the door for
the first time for months, and playiully
called TO her father. but on retiring al
night she had fit OF coughing that
ruptured blood.vessel in her lungs, and
in moment her gentle spirit had passed
onward 10 the Beautiful Land.
Her funeral was attensed by Rev.
Messrs. Ladd, Lord. TASTY, Merrill and

many eyes told plainly how much she
was beloved. Sadly the dear ones OF the

she was wont to miugle followed her 10

The Sprinatfeld Races.

The races at Springfield this year,
seem TO have attracted more attention
than usual. As was anticipated the Uni.
versity race was very closely contested,
but the result has proved surprise to
everybody,
The first race was tor 500. on five
mile single scull pull between John
Biglin and Ellis Ward. Waid took
the lead aud kept far ahead of his an
tagOuist for about two miles. when he
suddenly dropped his oars aud his head
lell upon his breast. lie was taken from
his boat and cared for by the Amherst
men. His failure was owing to over
training.
The freshman race, which was timed TO
start at o'clock on Thursday. did not
leave Till ALI. Yale, Harvard and AM
herst entered crews. Harvard took the
lead, but WAS soon outstripped by Yale
and Amherst. Yale won the race in Il :53.
The great University race did not start
till 6:l7. Harvard led and held her
position for the first mile aud half. when
Yale took il from her and won the race.
Yale men have had everything their
own way this year, having won in all the
races. They pull the English stroke. 10
which their success is attributed.
The referee has decided that Tale took
the first prize; Wesleyans came in sec
ond; Harvard third, and Williams last.
There is some dispute about the order of
the other boats, and their positions will
not be announced for some time.
Bowdoin is reported as coming in No.
:. Our Maine boys were very unlor.

one OF the last two chances. Great hopes
were entertained that BowdOin would
win, and at one time the pools sold sec.

disinterested parties;
