A plausible explanation Of the death of G.
F. Blake is given in narrative of q CONVEX :
sation held by him with A. c. Hobbs, In
Boston. February 10, when he spoke of
his delight in visiting the neighborhood
of the North River at night. This.
it is believed, will account for his going there

believe that Mr.. Blake's death was accidental.
The funeral took place yesterday at Trinity
Chapel.
