RECENT DEATHS.
Gideon L. Soule, Ill. D.

Gideon L. Soule, LII D., of Exeter, N. H.,
died suddenly OIL Wednesday night. DR..
Soule was nearly SO years old, and had been in
feeble health Of late. He was connected with
Phillips Exeter Academy for over fifty years,
and was principal of that institution from 1888
to 1873, when he resigned. He was the second
principal of the academy, DR.. Abbott, who
preceded him, filling that position just half a
century from its commencement, from 1888 to
1888. DIR. Soule was associated with DR.. Alb
bott in the task of instruction for seventeen
years previous to his taking charge. Since his
withdrawal from active duties he has failed
rapidly in body and mind. The great success
of Phillips Exeter Academy is largely due tc
his efforts. His death will be regretted by
many men of all positions throughout the
country, who have been under his care and in
struction. DR.. Soule was born at Freeport
Me- july %, 1856.

The State Prison Report.

Mr.. Newell Blake of Bangor, one of the
Commission which recently examined the
State Prison, in reply to inquiry of the editor
OF the Bangor Wing in regard to the scope OF
the commissions duty under their appoint
ment has written the following letter which
appears in the Wing:
BANGOR, May %, 1879.
To the Editor Of the Wing & Courier:
DEAR SIR:-In reply to your inquiry I would
state that the instructions given in the order
for the appointment of the committee referred
to, confined our duties as follows: "To make
IAN inventory of all the personal property be-
longing to the state in connection with the
estate Prison at Thomaston and to appraise
"the same at its cash value; to examine the
"books, accounts, notes and other assets of the
"Prison and make a statement showing the as
'sets and liabilities of the institution, and re-
port the result of such examination to the
Governor and Council"
L objected to that part of the report fixing
any value upon the accounts and notes. as oui
duty was to classify them, giving full amount
OF balance due as appeared on the books, and
as our examination of them was made merely
for such classification and not with a view to
appraising their value. This view was sus-
tanned by the Governor and Council, but as the
other members of the committee, who were
not then present, had signed the report, the
Council suggested that they had no right tc
alter it, and that had better state my obiec.
ton to that part of the report and sign it, to
which l consented.
Yours resp'y,
NEWELL RTAKF

A STALWART.
A Belfast Man Who Got the Better Of
Boston Swindlers

A Belfast man last week had an encounter
with gang of swindlers in Boston, in which
the latter came off second best He was ac-
costed on State street about ten o'clock in the
morning, by an innocent appearing young
man who called him by name, began glibly
inquiring by name for well known residents
OF that place, and put on such an appearance
OF innocence as to completely deceive our
friend, who has seen much of the world. The
innocent young man professed to be the lucky
drawer of lottery prize, and invited his ac-
quaintance to go with him while he got the
money. The young man led the way to
room in the alley-way leading from Court
street to Cornhill. Having secured the prize,
the young fellow commenced to gamble with
his money, and soon induced the Be last man
to loan him considerable money on bank
checks which he drew. The game was worked
so smoothly and plausibly that several hundred
dollars of our friends cash was transferred to
the lottery dealers till, the till being at last
closed and the money declared forfeited. Our
friend, being man of nerve, proceeded to
knock down the lottery dealer, wrench open
the drawer and transfer the contents to his
pocket. A confederate, who came to the
rescue, was also knocked down. The Belfast
man then finding the door fastened from the
outside kicked it open and gained the street.
Meeting there the innocent young man afore-
said, the two proceeded to steamer Cambridge,
where, on counting the money, our friend
found that he had something over four hun
bred dollars more in good money than he had
when he entered the lottery shop. He returned
to the smooth young man the amount that he
had staked and lost, retaining seventy dollars
IN excess OF his disbursements which he found
among the funds he had clutched. During
the day he was visited by numerous members
OF the lottery dealing tribe and sham police
men, in endeavoring to recover their lost
money. But he brought it away, and keeps
1t as the reward of his exertions in behalf of
the cause of right and justice. And so COM
pletely was the part played that our friend
was long time in arriving at the conclusion
that the innocent young man was the gamblers
confederate, as he undoubtedly was.-Belfast
