Capt. Edward A. Warwick, of this city, is
one of the finest specimens Of an "old salt
we have had the pleasure to meet. On June
sth of the present year Capt. Warwick
rounded out the fftieth year of his active
service, having sailed from Maine wharf as
cabin boy in the brig Florida, Capt. Eben
Corey, June Sth, 1886 The brig was aban-
doHea at sea in 1888, when loaded with log
wood, and bound to Cork for orders. The
captain was not in her at that time. The
past eighteen months the captain has been
out of health but is now, he says, as well
and active as ever, and in the fall will take
command of the bark Rose Inness again.
The captains first command was the brig
Holder Borden in 1850, bound to Valparaiso,
and he has since then had charge of the ship
Chester, briggs Napoleon, Harry Lerdes,
Washington, j. Polledo, Castilian, barks
Lizzie jackson and Rose Inness The most
of his experience has been in the South

Death of Frank Modoc.

Frank Modoc, the converted Indian, who
had been attending Oak Grove Seminary to
fit himself as teacher, died at J. j. Fryes,
Woodford's, Saturday night, He was about
45 years old and was one of the 200 warriors
taken prisoner by General Candy, in the
Modoc war, and transferred to Indian Ter
ritory in 1872. Under the influence of Mr.
and Mrs. futile, in charge of the Quassaw
Mission, Frank became converted. Later he
eyinced strong desire to return among his
people in Oregon and teach them also what
he had learned, At length the government
took an interest in his case and allowed him
to go to Oregon, paying his expenses. He
labored among his tribe with such zeal and
eloquence that he converted about fifty. He
quickly saw the benefit of an education, and
became DESTROYS of thoroughly fitting him
self at white mans school for his chosen
work of a missionary and teacher among
the Indians.

any extraordinary effort to increase the
amount of school work so near the end of
the year. 1t is too late to remedy poor
years work, if any such exists, and certain
ly unwise to harrass faithful children.
