New Haven Colony Historical Society.
 paper was read before the New Haven
 Colony Historical Society last evening by
 Prof. Franklin B. Dexter, of Yale College,
 upon the theme. 'sThe Influence of the Eng
 lish Universities in the Development of New
 England" Thomas R. Trowbridge, Esq.,,
 presided. The court room was well filled.
 Many distinguished men in letters and prom
 inent and influential men in business and
 other circles were present. The very able
 lecture was heard with much interest and
 pleasure. The paper gave abundant evidence
 of extensive research and 8 thorough acquaint-
 ance with the field of inquiry embraced
 in the subject. The influence of the Eng
 fish universities New England-wise was
 strikingly shown, and names of leading edu-
 cated men, prominent in the early days of
 New England history, lived again in the pa ges of the manuscript of the professor,
 names which must ever give lustre to that period of New England history. Incidentally the speaker alluded to the fact of the estab- lishment of a common school in New Haven during the first year of the existence of New Haven colony, fact unparalleled in the his- tory of any other of the colonies. A Deacon Brewster for Plymouth colony, a Thomas Hooker for Connecticut. and a John A. Daven- port for New Haven colony, mad done world of valuable service, and to such men and others less noted, but also liber- ally educated and actuated by the same broad, enlightened ideas, New England owed great debt. To such influences was due the elevated position she immediately was enabled to assume and much of her power and influence. The influence thus ex- erted appeared more conspicuously when her progress was viewed by the side of that of other colonies. The speaker cited Virginia for an example, and compared the standing of the two colonies at the end of the first seventeen years of their respective histories. The paper concluded with very just and per- tinent reflections suggested by the course of thought addnoed.

Terrible Accident

At the burning of German boarding house in CollinSville, on the west side of the river, December 26th, the charred timbers and chamber floors remained standing. On Fri day morning, February 9th, A. F. Alderman & Son, with company of workmen, were re moving the debris preparatory to putting up new building. The supports of the cham Der floor having been nearly all removed, the workmen were ordered to stand from under, and all but Carl Schultz got away but he, strong, bold and fearless of danger, knocked away the other support, when the whole mass fell, crushing him to death instantly. He leaves wife and two children. They have buried three. The following particulars in the life of MT. Schultz are probably in the main correct. His father died in Germany, leaving him and little sister in care of their mother, who afterwards married and the little family started for America. The mother died on the voyage and was buried at sea. On the arrival of the step-father and the two children at Castle Garden, N. F., he deserted them and the children, Carl, aged 7, and his sister, aged 9, were turned over to the public charities. A gentleman from Wethers- field, being in New York, saw the little boy and consented to bring him up, and he lived there till the age of 16. During the war of the rebellion he enlisted in the United States navy, and after his discharge he went to Cali fornia in the employ of g herdsman on a ranche. Returning again to Wethersfeld he met Miss Charlotte A. Carrier Slaughter of Edmund Carrier, of Collinsville), who was temporarily employed on Wethersfeld avenue, and married her. They have lived mostly in or near Oollinsville. MT. .Schultz's age was 31. Ed oIl Ia ko ok kaiv, I,s- sister after he left her in New York twenty four years ago.

There is an old specimen of architecture standing in the southern part of Enfield. It is the old Chapin homestead, whose timbers went up in the old colonial days of 1751. This veteran house-from authentic records dates it's erection to 8 time four years prior to the commencement of the French and In- dian war, incredible as it may seem. It is now in such good condition as to still render it a comfortable and desirable habitation.

Evergreen Cemetery.

Tine Annual NIeetKng-ElectI0m of Dl-
 rectOrs-ReductiOn Of Debt. :
 The annual meeting of the Evergreen Oem- etery Association was held last evening ct room Mo- 15, Insurance building, the presi- dent, MT. James G. English, presiding. The annual report of the president reviewed the affairs of the association for the past year. There had been accomplished @ considerable reduction of the indebtedness of the'associa- tion, the amount having been lessened about $1, 900. This had been done with an unusu- aI diminution in the receipts from the sale of lots, the sale having been much less than in late years, or since '69. Nothing had been attempted in the way of improvements during the year past, the cemetery now being in fine or- der, and efforts had been confined to giving the grounds the usual necessary attention and to the reduction of the debt. There have been many more beautiful monuments erected on the grounds during the year past, adding much to their fine appearance.
 The secretary and treasurer reported and the reports with that of the president were accepted and ordered on file. The meeting proceeded to the election of board of di- rectors for the ensuing year. the result being the election of the following gentlemen : Messrs. John P. Futile, James G. English, James D. Dewell, George Blakeman. E. O. Beecher. Messrs. N. D. Sperry and Freder- ick H. Waldron were elected auditors.

EDUCATIONAL CONVENTION.

General Garfield to Attend-Papers to be
cad and Reports to be Presented.
WASHINGTON, June 27.-The National Edu-
cational Association will hold its nineteenth
annual meeting at Chautauqua, New York,
next month, beginning on the 18th and con-
be an interesting and profitable one.
Charles Francis Adams, Jr., will read a
paper on "The Development of the Superin-
tendency; President McCosh on "The I'M
portance of having the Primary, Secondary
and Collegiate systems of Education fit into
each other' State Superintendent Orr of
Georgia, one on "Tne Education of the Negro;
its Rise, Progress and present status; Superin-
tendent Harris of st. Louis is down for two
papers, one on "Text Books and their Uses,'
of Study; Professor March of Lafayette
College will discuss "The Relations of Educa-
ton to the Spelling Reform A number of
other papers on educati onal subjects will be
read and discussed.
Among the reports to be presented is one by
a committee appointed to procure statistics
Showing what proportion of convicts in
prisons and penitentiaries received full or par
tial education in universities, colleges, normal,
high, grammar or primary schools, public OF
private"
Before General Garfield left Washington to
attend the Chicago convention he promised to
attend the meeting of the association, provided
Congress was not in session at the time. Gen.
Garfield then had no expectation or hope that
he would be nominated for the Presidency by
the Chicago convention. When he was here
few days ago, Gen. Garfield, who is very deep
ly interested in public education, held out
some hope that, Notwithstanding the changes
that had taken place in regard to himself, he
would attend the meeting of the association
and deliver an educational address. No de-
finite arrangement to that end has yet been
made, but those of Gen. Garfield's friends in
Washington who are especially interested in
the public schools are very hopeful that he
may be able to carry out his first intention

A Result Of Bourbon Crime.
After the murder of III. M. Dixon in Yazoo
City, by Barksdale, Frank P. Dixon, brother
of the murdered man, was driven out of the
state by the Democrats, who promised to kill
him if he remained there. He came to this
city and has lived here ever SINCE The widow
of his brother, with her six young children, re-
manned at her old home. Frank P. Dixon re-
ceived telegram today saying that Mrs.
Dixon was at the point of death, and asking
him to return to see her before she died. At
first it was withheld from him by his friends,
life to be taken by those who had before prom
ised to kill him; but when he secured it he de-
cided to go home iftt should appear thatIthere
was any probability that he could reach Yazoo
City before the death of Mrs. Dixon. He is
now awaiting information on this point He
knows the great danger which will attend a
visit to his home, but will risk it in order to
see his murdered brothers widow before she
dies.
