The persuasive accents of ' the intmerant

by the number of his pails. -
Miss Kellie Walton has gone to the city.
The attendance at the various churches on
Sunday was very thin, owing to the rain and

joyable time and the fair hostesses did all ‘ in
their power to make the “enterprising sur-

The mad-dog excitement has spread over
our town, and our Justices of the peace,
Messrs. M. Rowlandgand S. Parsons, have
very wisely issued their proclamations and

The “Weston Cadet,” published by the

Gen. A. S. Jarvis had over twenty men at
work last week filling up his icebo‘use. We
suppose the general goes on the principle that
“a bird in the hand is better than two in the

an inferior quality, is certainly better than
none. ‘

The roads are in a very bad condition, and

The movement looking to the building of

prevails that, while such a building would

quiring our attention. now, as for instancees
a graded school, and the introduction of

horse railway, and natural marine advantages
are assisting her. But a too rapid ascent
may cause her to stumble, and it is better
that her good friends pause rather than
hastenthings. For the present Sturgcs’ Hall
and National Hall are adequate to the re-
quirements of town business. In the first
named hall we have elected from time to
time, good democrats to represent us, and, as
will be remembered, it wastbere we suc-
ceeded in eucherlng an aspiring democrat
and chose astaunch republican. In' view
therefore of a creditable past and an encour-
aging futurc, it may be well to continue
using the old hall if for nothing more than
for the good brought about within it, until
such'time as our voting list has increased to
such proportions that voters cannot crowd
themselves therein and fail, as a conse-
quence, to deposit their ballots within the
hours prescribed by the constitution or nam-

Auburn Theolo ical Seminary, In the
First Presbyterian Church of Auburn,
Oct. 25th, 1877. Printed at Auburn, N.

nal Office. Memorial discourse by Pro-w

Dr. Hall among the Students, by Rev.
Willis J. Beecher. Resolutions of Re-
;cht by the Presbytery of Syracuse, the

of Cayuga and the Synod of Geneva,
This is a summary of a pamphlet just put
forth in most becoming style. Dr. Hall's
life is divided by his friend and former asso-
ciate in the Fairfield County pulpits. into
three nearly equal periods of about twenty
years each. 1. «The educational and prepar-
atory pcriods,_cxtending from 1811 to 1832.
2. His pastorate in Norwaik from,1832 to
1855. 3. His professoratc in Auburn from
1855 to 1876. ~ g .
He was born in Granville, Washington
County, N. Y., Jan. 11th, 1802, son of Ira
Hall, M. D.,a graduate of Dartmouth Col-
lege, 1792, who was the son of Nathaniel
Hall, of Lebanon, N. 11., who was the son
of Nathaniel» Hall, a native of Mansfield,
Conn. His mother was a nativeof Torring-
ton, Conn., her maiden name being Rebecca
Parker. Thus hewas wholly of New Eng-
land, and what was originally Connecticut
. stock.
He began to study Latin in 1811, but in
1813 was partly diverted from it by the
illness of his father, and for three years was
his clerk and assistant, sleeping in the office
on a buffalo skin; and studying the most of
of every night. On his father’s death he
went to work on' his farm. In 1818 he taught
aback district school at $8 a month; the
next year in Hartford, N. Y., at $9; the
next year at Whitehall, N. Y., where he had
123 scholars. During summers he worked
upon his father’s farm. But now he became
thcsnbjcct of a revival of religion; and then
feeling it to be his duty to’ study for the min -
istry, he renewed his studies at Castletdn,
Vt., and soon' greatly distinguished himself
by the amount and thoroughness. of his ac-
quisitions, as also at Middlebury College,
which he entered in 1822; returning to the
Academy for half the year as a teacher, but
keeping up with his class and pursuing sev-
eral extra studies. In his Sophomore year he
he carried off the boners of his class. To.
ward thc close of his Junior year he was
again compelled to teach,'when he became
the successor of his cousin, the brilliant Wilt
115 Hall (afterwards Attorney-General of the
State of New York, until smitten by paraly-
sis) in the “Presbyterian" (Congregational)
Academy in Norwalk, at $450 a' year._- Still
he kept up with his class in college, a dis-
tinguished class, whose valcdictorian he be-
came. During the summer vacation he
worked on a farm at‘ $14 a month. Now, as
often before, he was very ill, so that for three
months he bled from the lungs, and his life
was despaired of. But again compelled by
necessity, he took the Academy at St. A1-
bans, Vt., though unable to read as much as
one verse of the Bible aloud. His- small
school became a large one; butbeforc the end
of the year he became tutor in Middlebury
college, where, having the entire instruction
of the Freshman class, he nevertheless found
time to study Hebrew and Theology, until
he was licensed to preach; but being not yet,
sufficiently strong for a pastorate, he took the
Academy in Middlebury and preaced in
neighboring places, as a labor of love. _
He was married Sept. 2d, 1828, to Miss
Fanny Hollister, of Granville, N. Y.
Before his time closed at Middlebury he
accepted an invitation to preach at Glen's
Fallsand Sandy Hill, on the Hudson, half of
the Sabbath at each. Thence starting on a
missionary tour, he was the means of organi.
zing a Presbyterian church at Caldwell, on
Lake George.” Returning to Glen’s Falls he
was thrown from his horseand received such
injuries that he was disabled from preaching.
In this emergency he was invited by the
Presbytery of Newark to take charge of their
séhool, where his health so improved that he
demands to preachin Morristown, Newark
and New York, in vacant pulpits.
So, finding himself equal to resume preach-
ing as his occupation, be determined, as be-
fore, to go West, but on the very day of re".
signing his charge of the Academy, he re-
ceived a letter which brought him to preach
in Norwalk, in March, 1832, and was install-
ed by Consociation, over the First Church,
July 18th. ‘ -
We have given this brief resume of the
first period of Dr. Hall’s life, as divided by
_ Dr. Atwater, because so little has been
known‘ of it, even here in Norwalk. The
second period, which commenced here, was
known and read of all men who lived here
.as his contemporaries; and its record is fresh
in' their memories and not unknown to those
who grew up or came here afterward; for he
made a deep mark here, whose impression
remains, not only upon the First Church and
Society, but also upon the whole town, and
especially upon its-schools.
He loved Norwalk enthusiastically. To
him there was no other. such place; and all
through the 'third period‘ of his life, at Au-
burn, his feet turned often and his heart ever
to this cherished home of his mature years,
this scene of his only installation as a pastor,
and the birthplace of his children.
‘ Dr. Atwater, "in his discourse, gives a just,
discriminating and glowing history of his
life and labors here, and of the high apprecia-
tion in which he was held by the distinguish-
ed~mcn who were his parishioners, as also by
all his people,and by surrounding pastors and
churches. All honored and confided in him.
His professorate at Auburn sustained the
high reputation which seemed it and attend-
cd him there ; to which a due, honorable tri-
bute is paid, not only by Dr. Atwater, but
also by one of his fellow professors and by
one of his students.
It is a matter of interest and pride to the
citizens of this vicinity that, as Dr. Atwater
records, “It is noteworthy, too, that Dr.
James Richards, the first incumbent of the
Chair of Theology, at Auburn Seminary was
born and reared within four miles of . Nor-
walk"—in New Canaan.
Ring Fame. .
New YORK, Feb. 4th.——Harry Genet, of
Tammany Ring fame, has returned to this
city after years of self-imposed exile. He
entered the court of ,chr and Terminer. this
morning, in company with his cousel, W. A.
Beach, and surrendered himself. , He was
admitted to bail in $25,000. His stay in
court was very brief, and all that could be
drawn from him were assertions of his entire
innocence with regard to the charge of fraud
on which he was convicted, and also that his
innocence would appear before long. It is
believed that Genet intends 'to appeal from
the many judgments against him. It is
thought that the success of sweeny‘, in com-
promising with the city, induced Genct’s law-
yers, Nelson ~S. Waterbury and ex Judge
Beach, to advise him to take this course. By
those persons most conversant with his af-
fairs, it is said that during the few years of
his absence he has never been far from New
York City, and has been in the city several
times.
