G. ADAMS, Editor & Proprietor. Memorabilia of Yale College. It was in 1845 that my brother John and myself entered Yale College as Freshmen. My brother was taken Kick, and lost a year, and graduated in the class of 1850, and 1, 2 years the youusj er graduated in the class of 1849. Our mother and sister and younger brother Joseph accompanied us to New Haven. Our father was Domestic Missionary on Martha's Vineyard, and while we were In College sent as Delegate by Dukes County, Massachusetts to the Evangel ical Alliance in London. He travelled through England, Ireland and Scotland, France and Belgium. He was in Paris when Louis Philippe was dethroned, and the last Napoleon took the imperial crown. The different denominations on Martha's Vineyard gave our father $1500 in gold to" pay his expenses in Europe, When we first lived in New Haven we rented a house in SaTem Street, then one in George Street, then one in York Street. Before we graduated our moth er, younger brother and sister returned to New Hampshire. Jeremiah Day was President of the College. He was soon succeeded by Theodore Dwight Woolseyd James Kingsley was Professor of Latin, T. A. Thatcher Assistant Professor. The elder Silliman, Professor of Chemistry, Hadley, Professor of Greek, Mr. Olm- stead, Professor of Astronomy, Em ergon was Tutor of Mathematics, a tall sui-iuuier. a e students oi my class were about half of them from the Southern States. The father of Bishop who sat next to me was so poor when he entered college, he had not credit enough to buy a sack of flour, yet the"year Bishop graduated he left each of his children a million and a half apiece. Bishop has since been Com missioner of Patents and Member of 'Congress from Connecticut His fath er's name was Isaac Bishop, and all the ' flaS in Connecticut were at half mast at the time of his death. He built a railroad through New Jersey. The class was divided into 3 Divisions. The 1st Division had those whose names commenced with the first letters of the alphabet. The character of each lesson was marked. Two absences from pray ers were followed by expulsion. Pray ers were at 4 A. m. in the College Chapel. When we first went to New Haven we boarded with a family by the name of Warren. They lived in a beautiful place, had a large garden of all kinds of flowers. They had one daughter living at home named Adeline Warren. She kept a private school. She was quite talented as a writer. She marriel a man by the name of Bostwick. He was an incorrigible drunkard. She got a divorce and married a Mr, Beach, I think a son of Moses Y. Beach of New York City. He was very ricli. and ed ucated the Bostwick children in splen did style. Mr. Warren had another daughter married to a Protestant Meth odist clergyman. She was very beauti ful. Mrs. Warren was French by de scent, and had more executive ability than any woman I ever knew. She had -charge of the infant pjrt of the Sabbath School in the Methodist Church where -my brother John was Superintendent Quite a number of the richest people in New Haven attended the Methodist Church. Among them was the owner, of a large part of the townsite of New Haven, an old Methodist preacher, worth a number of millions. He was father-in-law of the Gilberts, a firm deal ing in. leather. Their sign was a speci men ot antiquity. 'They were an an cient firm. One of the Gilbert girls married Colonel Pardee of WasJ;;iIgt.on Territory. When we lived on George Street we rented a house of Be v. Mr. Bartlett, a Methodist preacher. He was too fee ble to preach but made telescopes.. One lady asked him if he had seen lately, that quadruped star. It was a quadru ple star she wasfalking about but was not posted. vThe same lady gave a party, and said the grapes on her arbor hung in clutclies. She meant clusters. They got in clutches as soon as the visitors were turned loose on them. On George Screet lived a family of Barbera The old gentleman" was tlie author of the Histories' of Conneticut Massachusets, New York and Virginia. He was an engraver by trade, and the histories were fully illustrated by his own hand. He and his daughter Eliza beth Gertrude wrote a book of allegories by which they made $40,000. The book was nothing extraordinary in a literary point of view. The father made the pictures, and wrote the prose, and the daughter composed a verse at the end of each allegory. It took s immensely, and and is probably published to this day. Allegory is something very interesting to the average mind. Miss Barber was an excellent player on the guitar. I think she was of Spanish descent on her mother's side. She had a sister married a lieutenant in the Navy. Miss E. G. Barker I think married a Bancroft in San Francisco. I used to beau her round and also a lady by the name of Day. Her father was a rich carriage builder. Miss Day married a Trow bridge, belonging to one of the most aris tocratic families in New Haven. Day was very rich. His sons are bankers. The Days were Methodists. So were the Barbers. The only family we knew in New Haven when we came there were. Mr. Ge rard Halhick's family. He was the Ed itor of the New York Journal of Com merce. His residence .was at Oyster Point, which runs down one side of New Haven Bay. His mansion was a perfect English Castle with towers and turrets more splendid than anythin New Haven. The grounds were mag- nificent and rose in terraces from the beach. His wife was an old acquain tance of ours. She was a native of Chilmark, Martha's Vinyard, an only child of Deacon Ezra? Allen. Every thing was in keeping about the mansion. They had a chaplain to pray anil say grace at meals He had a salary, and in this Coast parlance, had a soft thing. His name was Rev. Glen j Wood. Mr. Hal lock was a Con "relational ist. Our being accquainted with the most stylish family in New Haven gave us the entry into the most polished circles. My brother set the fashions as he was called the handsomest man at Yale. The name they gave him was " Lion" Adams he took so immensely among the ladies. Uie tailors donated him many clothes to introduce stvles that were not sala- ble. As soon as he donned a peculiar kind of a hat or suit, they went off like hot cakes. He was not an empty-headed fop, as his scholarship was as fine as his looks or clothes, taking the highest prizes in English Composition and ex celling in Mathematics and To be Continued. Languages. From the Statesman. 1 REST IN PEACE. The funeral of the late Mrs. S. C. Adams on Sabbath last was largely at tended, notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather. The services at the church were impressive ; tears of sorrow and sympathy moistened almost every cheek. The church was tastefully draped and all the surroundings tended to show the great place in the hearts of the com- muuity by the departed one, for it can be truthfully be said of Mrs. Martha Adams, " None knew her but to love her," to love her for her purity of char acter, for her broad sympathy, and for her unselfish charities. ? IN 3IE3IOKM3I. Inasmuch as the providence of our Heavenly Father has removed our be loved sister, Mrs. S. C. Adams, and since, in her death, we nave lost an ex emplary Christian and an earnest mem ber of the board of managers of the Ore gon Children's Aid Society, be it Resolved, That, a members of the Board, we deeply deplore the loss of one whose varied endearments, all devoted to the service of the; Master, made her a most successful worker in His vineyard, and that the memory of her consistent life shall aid us in gaining the haven she has already entered. Reeolved, That we offer to thoso near- i esc and dearest the sympathies with which our hearts were filled, and feeling that their loss is our less, we will togeth er seek comfort in the- promise which to her is fullfilled, "Thy will be done." Resolved, That a copy of these resolu tions be sent to the family of the de ceased, a copy be furnished the Daily Statesman, and the same be spread on the records of the Association. In be half of the Ladies of the Board of Man agers of the Oregon Children's ,s?l Soci ety. ' Mrs. J. H. Moobes, Frea Mr. Joseph Holman, Sec'y. i i In Memory of Mrs. Martha E. Adams. Come up higher! said the X aster, I have need of thee, From this world of parting and disaster! Faithful spirit thou art free. Well done, well done, was the angel's cry. As she reaches their blessed shore, While the bow of promise spans the sky. Where sorrows are no more. Onward thy course from star to star, That gem the tranquil night, Or dwelling in that home afar. Where Jesus is the light ! Thy earth work was in deeds sublime. Shedding incensa by the way, And as Life's rugged hills we climb, Thy memory is a golden ray. Oh ! joy for thee thy "perfect rest, Is unshadowed evermore; And joy for those forever blest- The band that has gone before ! And while our human tears must fall, For such a friend as thee, Ours is the casket, ours the pall , Thine the glad victory. 'Twas but to fold away the vail. The fleeting of a breath, ' ; To clasp the hand of the guest so pale The guest that we call Death; And on thy palms to bear above. The richest jewels won from life Thy Saviour's priceless love ! True Christian, sister, mother, wife. Sarah G. Miner. IN JIEUORIUI OF ADAMS. SIRS. S. C. On Sunday last all that was mortal or perishable of Mrs. S. C. Adams was borne to its peaceful rest in the Odd Fellows' Cemetery, near this city. Her funeral, at the Christian Church, at 11 a. M. was attended by a large number ot her best and warmest hearted and most deeply sympathizing friends, who had known and loved hr so well. The house was tastefully and beautifully draped in wreaths and flowers and ivy festoons. The sweetest singers of the city had kindly volunteered their best services and the music was most pathetic and sweet. The discourse of Elder J. W. Spriggs, her pastor, was calm, dignified and grandly appropriate to the high character and pure noble life of her who was one of the strongest and most beau tiful pillars of the social, religious and charitable institutions of our city with which she was associated. Martha Eveline Adams, was born near St Louis, Missouri, May 12th, 1831, and died in Salem, Oregon, at 1:45 a. m. Saturday Dec 16th, 18S2, aged 51 years, 7 months and 4 days. She was the eld et of ten daughters and four sons, born to Dr. James McBride and wife, all of whom are still living, except her parents and youngest sister. She was married to her now broken-hearted husband Feb rurary 6, 1851, in Yamhill Co. Oregon, whero they resided until October 18G8. The family then visited and spent tbe winter in California, but returned and settled in Salem in May, 1869. Here she lived a useful and highly honored life up to her decease, with the exception of a temporary residence in Cincinnati, Ohio, from 1874 to 1877, and a six months visit, one year ago, with her sister, Mrs. Gov. Woods, in San Jose, California. She was the affectionate mother of four children, the oldest and youngest of whom survive her to mourn their irreparable loss, while she has gone to join her other son and 'daughter in the paradise of God. Of her it can be truly said " None knew her, but to love her. None named her, but to praise." The sentiments of Proverbs 3:12, 28, being " her verses," as it is sometimes said, were peculiarly appropriate in her case: 44 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. Her children arise up and call her blessed ; her husband also, and he prais- eth her." Her memory will be revered for real ctcct i-iai n.nrl wnrt b Jin rl bfr- nrudent o"" ' r- counsels will not soon be forgotten by the church and the social and charitable societies of which she was a devoted and valued member. Her "true religion" was best manifested and proven by vis iting the sick, the fatherless and the widow in their affliction, and her un spotted life. "Her life-work will be her Vrifrh.tesi and most enduring monument While the, great moving world goes on, there will be one joyous home in ru ins, and at least one heart left to all the sad and bitter desolation of bitter lone liness, while he stands in his place and briefly waits till his change como that I he may join her in the beautiful beyond where there shall be no pain, nor sorrow, nor death fore verm ore. A CARD OF THANKS. iTor myself and broken family I de sire to tender our most sincere and heart felt thanks to all the kind and sympa thizing friends who so tenderly minis tered to the relief and comfort of my de parted wife in the bitter sufferings of her last sickness. The sweet singers of Salem who so kindly contributed their best services at the sad funeral hour;. and all the kind friends whose presence then, and through all this bitter trial, has exhibited their, respect and appreci ation of her who now rests in peace, and their hallowed sympathy with us who are left to mourn, will ever be held in grateful remembrance. May none ever want for that which they so kindly and cheerfully gae. S. C. Adams. Salem. Or., Dec. 20,1882. "The Best Practical zine." Art Masa- The Art Amateur for-1883, judging from the publisher's announcement, will amply maintain its high reputation as the-" best practical art magazine" of the day. To an abundance of beautiful, full-size working designs for. painting, embroidery, wood-carving, and other art work, with copious practical instruction for all classes of amateur artists, it will continue to add a profusion of charming illustrations of porcelain, furniture, nee dlework, and bric-a-brac, together with an endless supply of entertaining infor mation on decorative and industrial art Numerous artists' sketches will bf? pub lished as usual: the leading exhibitions will be largely illustrated and piquantly criticised, and artists of merit will be bi ographically noticed. A series of beau tiful embroidery designs from the South Kensington Royal School of Art Nee dlework, and a number of articles on china painting by Miss McLaughlin of Cincinnati, will be published during the year. It is not too much to declare, with the Londonn Academy (which pla ces i; above any magazine of the kind in England), thatVTun Art Amateur is a " marvel ofvariety, beauty, and cheap ness.". This opinion may be readily ver ified by sending thirty-five cents for a specimen copy to.Monta'gue Marks, Pub lisher, 23 Union Square, New York. The subscription price is $4 a year.

We trust that some in telligent and energetic lady among our many readers will take advantage of the opportunity and secure the agency for this vicinity. It is surely worth trying for.
