Nelson Rhoadcs, Jr., Assassinatetl In
MexicO.

The school bonrd, teachers, scholars
and many Of our citizens have heard with
deep regret OF the untimely death Of Nell
son Rhoades, jr, who last winter had
charge Of our public schools for several
months. during the illness Of Prof. Boiles.
Prof. Rhoades was experimenting the
construction OF bridges for new railway
near Chihuahua. He had under him
1000 men, three secretaries and 40 fore
men. Some weeks since he wrote home
of the responsibility and danger OF the
position, us he had to deal with the low
est and fiercest of a vagabond rnce, many
already criminals, and all, by birth and
breeding, users OF the knife. No details
Of the manner OF his death have been re-
ceived.
Prof. Rhondes was an educator Of re-
markable proficiency and had the faculty
OF imparting knowledge aud drawing to
him the affections Of his pupils. Places
in the line Of teaching were ever open to
him, but poor health caused him to seek
the climate Of Mexico and out door activ-
ity.
