AS Alanson Butterfeld, about nine
o'clock last week Wednesday evening,
was passing along the road near the
house of Anterior Prescott, he saw
what appeared to be man lying by the
side of the road with his face downward
Coming nearer he discovered the dead
body of Daniel Belknap who lived with
Mr.. Prescott. Notifying one of the Sc.
lectmen an informal inquest was held
and on making further inquiries the
following facts were ascertained Mr.
Belknap was at town meeting Tuesday
and on returning in the afternoon stop.

known he was last seen when passing the
house of Mr.. Bailey one mile and halt
from his home His watch stopped at
half past six. He was 81 years of age
and quite feeble Some years ago be
lost one eye by the fall of a derrick. He
had but little use of one of his legs.
The evening was rainy and very dark.
1t appears that he missed the highwa y
when near his home, and fell into a
shallow pond where he was found par.
TALLY covered with water His cane
was near his right hand and his cap
some two feet from his head
No marks of violence were found and
it appears that being exhausted by his
long walk and perhaps stunned by the
fall, he had not the strength to extricate
himself from the water. The facts indi-
cate clearly thathe came to his death by
accidental drowning.

A Noble Work.

The Rev, DR., Schereschewsky has com.
pleted his translation Of the Bible into
the Mandarin dialect of China and has
brought home with bin bound copies of
that holy volume This he has done
alone The Old Testament has been
translated by him out Of the original
Hebrew, into language understood by
a population four times as large as in all
the United States.
This work of itself is one Of the grand.
est monuments which the human mind
has ever created and it is one Of the no.
blest trophies Of missionary zeal and
learning, When in the old times OF
Greece and Rome, the military hero, re-
turned from the conquest Of province,
an ovation was rendered him by the city
and as he passed along in his chariot.
there followed him the captives taken in
war, the spoils of conquered cities, the
treasures of royal Golfers and SO the
grand procession moved on, in honor OF
him who had added province to an
empire.
But the grandest conquests of the
world mightiest heroes sink into little
ness beside the work this man has done
when he made the Bible speak in the
Mandarin tongue and herald out its sal
walton over nearly half hemisphere.
The tributes to DR.. Schereschewsky' I
learning are very numerous and crafty
ing, and it is with pleasure that we learn
that so distinguished scholar is shortly
to be among US. He will deliver an ad
dress in Emmanuel Church, on Thurs
day night, Nov. 80. The church is free
to all.

ers in the literary and scientific depart
ments, Mrs. +. E. Stoddard, teacher of
music, and Miss Mary E. Bliss, teacher
Of gymnastics. All the classes evinced
thorough drill and accurate knowledge
Of what they had studied. In every
school there is some diversity as to the
ability of students to acquire knowledge,
but all seemed deeply interested and de-
sirous of success. 1t was evident that
the teachers possess, in high degree,
the ability to inspire enthusiasm and
love of learning in the minds Of their
pupils This is owing to their system of
instruction, which is inductve and ana
lytical. They thoroughly explain the
fundamental principles of science, upon
which the rules are founded this rem
ders progress easy. They also regard
the grammer of language as the key
to unlock its hidden treasures; hence,
they first give their pupils thorough
knowledge of the grammar; then the
language is easily acquired They first
lay broad, deep foundation before rear
ing the superstructure. They do not al
low a pupil to advance till the first prin-
ciples are clearly understood, hence
those under their tuition, who are indus
trious, can hardly fail Of success. The
discipline of the school is strict, yet
mild and gentle. Parents and guardians
who are DESTROYS of placing their chill
dren and wards in school where their
welfare will be strictly guarded, will do
1 we'll to send them to Leland d Gray
Seminary. The training Of teachers is
made speciality in this institution. No
one, in common school, can secure
equal advantages in this direction. The
thorough drill in gymnastics by Miss
Bliss, of all the students of both sexes,
has been a means of promoting their
health and of affording them much
innocent amusement. Few teachers of
music are superior to Mrs. Stoddard.
The exhibition Friday evening, though
but little time was spent in the prepare
ton, was decided success, and was wit
messed by a crowded audience. The
committee cannot but regard the advan-
tages to be secured at Leland g. Gray
Seminary as most inviting to the youth
of the surrounding towns
