Young John NIorriSser.

The Hon. John Morrissey's son John,
died in Saratoga on Saturday evening.
Young Morrissey was idoIiled by his
mother and father. lie wa4 their only
heir. lie was born in Troy twenty.one
years and five months ago lie was sent
TO school in Montreal, and was after.
ward in St. Johns College, in Fordham.
lie was passiouatcly fond Of shooting and
boating, and hi1 mother wa1 delighted
with hia skill. lie smoked cigarettes to
excess, and the family physician, DR.. +.
Brady, warned him against his almost
constant use Of them; but the boy did not
heed the warning, aud his lungs became
diseased. lie was threatened with con-
sumption and pneumonia. Last winter
he spent the season in Florida, and when
hC returned to this city he had gained ii.
teen pounds. His health failing in the
fall, DR.. Bradley urged TINT he should he
sent TO more temperate climate, but his
mother wished to keep him under her
especial care in Saratoga. =
On Saturday evening the Young PEG.
pie Of Saratoga, who loved young Nor
ri4sey, went 10 the MorrisScy mansion
and wept with the almost distracted
mother and father. The hose company's
mouse in the village was draped in
mourning. The burial is to be from st.
Peters Church, in Troy, tomorrow.
Father Finnegan, OF st. Johns Church, in
Fordham, was with young Morrissey at
she time OF his death.
When young Morrissey attained to his
majority, five months ago, his father gave
him handsome piece Of property in
Saratoga. 1t was the intention OF his
father 10 send him to Europe this winter,
aud there the young man was 10 finish
his education within two years. Then
he was to return to this city, and to have
the choice of either u profession or Il
trade.

THE RELATIVE LENGTH OF SERVICE
or MEN AND WOMEN TEAcHERs.-Mr.
T. W. IIigginson writes in the Journal Of
Education to reiutc tho imputation on
women teachers that their service is Of u
briefer period than the average Of men,
and that they oftcncr enter the profession
as u temporary make.shift. whave had
no leisure" he says, though l have tried
to find it, to carry this investigation fur.
Their than my own residence, but Of the
permanent teachers employed by the city
OF Newport, for 1856, the Sc women
have had collective term OF service in
this city Of 2S2 years, giving an average
Of SOC years, and the men, now six in
number, show collective service OF %
years, and an average Of A.2S years.
Until other statistics are collected to re-
flute these, | shall continue to suspect
that much of the complaint against
women teachers, on this score, is mere
guess.work."
