p The last mail from tina Coast brings news
of the death of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
The poet was born at Portland, Maine, on 9th
February, 1907, and had therefore, but lately
completed his seventy-ffth year. Longfellow
was for many years Professor of modern Ian
guages and bellies ietfres at Harvard, but his fame
rests on his contributions to the literature of the
English language rather than on his scholarship,
which was however, of a wide range. His
funeral was to be entirely a private one.

on Monday evening when the grounds were
crowded with listeners, amongst whom were a
large number of officers and men from the

of one another al round the stand and the seats
occupied by the audience.

her the seeds of the disease from that city. After
the experience of 1878 the s~trictest quarantine of
the infected premises ought to be enforced, but
it is hardly to be hoped that SO much prudence
will be displayed.
