Sarah #. T0bie.

The Springfield Republican publishes the fol-
lowing tribute, in its issue of the 18th inst to
Miss S. f. Tobie, so well and favorably known
here: A great public loss is sustained in the
death of Miss Sarah i. Tobie tue head of the
girls department in our high school, and teach
er Of English literature, rhetoric and mental
philosophy Few women have been given lar
ger opportunities for usefulness, and none ever
more unpretendngly, devotedly aud successful
ly set about improving them. Her life was CIV
en- to teaching, her character was developed to
rare perfection and most winning loveliness, she
was sweetly patient. inspiring aDd popular in
her life work. Her especial gift was the train
ing of young girls, and the grace Of her own
perfect Christian wOmanhood has helped to
make very many noble women. So will her
death be mourned widely and deeply, and so
does this city sorrow in the loss of matured in
huence for good, ranking in power with our pull
pits. Some of these could certainly be far more
easily filed than will be the special place of
Miss Tobie in our educational system. She had
taught at Lewiston, Me-, at Gorham Seminary,
gers female college, at the Westfield normal
school, and the Fall River high school, She
came to Springfield In September 1876, and the
local knowledge of and love for her comes of
her work here and at Westfeld There she
was valued most highly, and in this city her
labors for the more than 200 young women of
our high school have been visibly and growing
ly fruitful. When taken sick she was helping
some OF the young men IN getting up course
of lectures for the benefit of the high school
and for the improvement of the young people
of the community. Her attending physicians
call her sickness complication of chronic all
ments, with sudden congestion and infiamma-
ton of the abdominal organs. Her health has
not been strong for several N onths past, and
the frequent chills experienced during her
sickness seemed to indicate malarial disease,
contracted either during her residence at the
West or during journey to California in the
summer vacation. She leaves a sister in Cali
fornia, one brother in Portland, Me-, and an
other, one of the editors of the Providence Jour
nal
The vesper service at the church of the Unity
last evening was devoted by Rev. A. D. Mayo
member of the school committee, to a warm
tribute to Miss Tobe's power and skill as a
teacher, her fine social qualities and her Chris
tian character Not only was she most enthu :
siastic and rational advocate of new methods in
education, Mr.. Mayo said, but more than most
teachers she won the hearts of both teachers
and pupils. He knew of no man or woman
who had come to this city and, in the space of
year, had gained position 50 desirable, had so
lntrenched herself in the hearts of the people,
as this woman In one year she really did the
work of two, not only in her ordinary duties,
but in the general impression and impulse she
was giving to study and culture. In few years
no ole here would have had more influence or
been more generally felt as power of society.

MISS KIMBALL's LEcTURE.-Mss Lucia
Kimbail of Chicago spoke at Congress Hall
last evening to very attentive audience, al
though not SO large as it ought to have been,
for Miss Kimball delivered one of the best lie c.
lures that has been given by female speaker
in our city, Her theme was plea for a better
effort in behalf of education Of the children to
the principles of temperance, and warning
them against the evils of drinking. She relat.
ed many affecting incidents that had come to
her!notice in her missionary work in the city OF
Chicago, and eloquently contrasted the bean
ties of life of temperance and sobrety to thai
of intemperancs and dissipation.
deep tone of religious enthusiasm pervad-
ed her address, which was delivered in choice
language, and with clear and musical voice
which was quite captivating. She ought to be
heard by larger audience, and it is to be hop
ed she may be induced to speak again in oul
city upon this subject which she so we'll under
stands.
Mrs. Fitzgerald was announced to speak al
the same place next Sunday evening.
