At "A meeting of the Board of Trustees OF
GAINESVILLE Female Academy, called to-
gether this 9Th day of April, with special
reference to the death of the honored Presi-
dent OF the Board, which occurred on the
7th inst. S. F. Beaumont was called to the
chair and the following resolution unani-
mously passed.
Resolved, That by the death of DIR. Joshua
Cobb, who was twenty-five years member
of this board, and for fourteen years its
president, the Academy has lost true and
lifelong friend, one who was most persistent
in the advocacy of its claims and devoted to
its interest. 1t was largely by his exertions
that the present buildings were erected and
from time to time enlarged and he ever man
Tested deep interest in the promotion of
female education.
Resolved, That this dispensgtion of the
ProYidedce of God, to which we bow with
humble submission, takes from among us
an honorable, useful and patriotic citizen, a
well tried friend, valued and true, in all the
relations Of life, one beloved in life and
whose death we sincerely mourn.
Resolved, That we tender to the afflicted
family of our deceased friend our heartfelt
sympathies that two of our number be ap-
pointed to act as pall-bearers; that these
proceedings be spread upon the record of
the board, the city papers be requested to
publish them and the secretary furnish a
copy to the family of the deceased.

 s. S. CONVENTION Seven of our teachers attended the Sabbath School Convention at Nerth Canaan, last Wednesday. It was the annual meeting for the North West part of Litchfield County, and was very fully attend ed. Dr. Knight, of Lakeville, presided, and the exercises were quite interesting. The speakers were Rev. MT. Kitchel, Rev. Mir. Hazen, Thomas L. Norton, Rev. Mir. Mackey, Edward Norton. Edmund Lawrence, Rev. MT. Gleason, Dea. Pratt, Rev. MT. Stevenson, Rev. MT. Belcher, Rev. Mr. Reid and others. At noon bountiful dinner was waiting for the great company, and we were served by all the young ladies in North and East Canaan, and came to the same conclusion we arrived at years ago, that the North Canaan ladies cannot be beaten in preparing for great picnic, and making every body feel at home while attending 1t. The meeting closed between four and five, and we felt we'll paid for going, although we found the bridges washed away and the water very deep on the roads in Canaan.

THE YACHT RACE,

The yacht race for the challenge cup to-
day, which was postponed from Monday on
account of want of sufficient wind to sail the
boats, is looked forward to with eager antici-
patton by the great number Of our citizens
who are interested In the most exciting Of all
aquatic sports.
To say that the metal of the magnificent
flyers which are to participate in this race lie
tried and true would not be too metaphorical
The boats entered for the race enjoy repu-
tation for great speed, and are considered the
fastest crafts Of their rig, measurement and
tonnage that float in Southern waters. We
even doubt if Of their class there are superior
sailers on the whole coast, from PASSPORT,
Maine, to Galveston, Texas.
The fact that only five yachts sail In this
challenge cup race instead of having caused q
diminution in the interest attached to it
heightens the interest," If anything, for the
contest is narrowed down to an exciting
struggle among the acknowledged champions
Of the fleet. With attention concentrated or
these few fast contestants, more excitement
will be afforded and more enthusiasm awak
ened probably than in general match, or al
least in few full regattas.
With good breeze and clear weather some
rare sport may be expected at the New Lake
End to-day. ~.~ %.

statutes unrepealed. We know not to what
exigencies we may yet be brought. We have
no reason to believe that there Is any limit
beyond which the partisan Republican
administration will not venture in order
to accomplish its purposes, and, with this
test oath still upon the statute books to be
applied by partisan district attorneys and be-
fore Republican judges, and with iuries
drawn by Federal marshals under instruc-
lions from Washington, there Is no telling
what crimes against popular freedom might
be contaminated In times of heated political
campaign.
It Is certainly safest the mere instinct of
self-preservation commands 1t, to repeal the
law establishing this test oath, and we appeal
to our friends In Congress to insist that it be
done and done at once. The people of the
whole country demand 1t, and no excuse what
ever will be accepted for the failure to wipe
this anomaly and affront from the records Of
the country

The conviction and sentencing Of Benjamin
Mayer, of New York, to hard labor In the
penitentiary for two years and half, prom
ises to accomplish a great deal of good and
to clear the business atmosphere of that city.
Mayer was member Of firm that obtained
$4,000 worth Of goods on the representation
that his firm was solvent, whereas it was at
the time insolvent, and soon after went into
bankruptcy, with liabilities of nearly ninety
thousand dollars. Suits were Immediately
begun against Mayer for swindling. Finding
the prosecutors determined In their case.
Mayer became alarmed and offered, with the
aid of rich relatives, to pay the amount he
had attempted to swindle his creditors out OF,
If they would discontinue the criminal cases
against him. They refused, preferring to lose
their money and vlndicate the law, and Mayer
will, therefore, spend a considerable period OF
his life at Sing-Sing In sentencing Mayer
the Judge laid down the sound principle that
any person who obtains goods from another
