A letter from Jacksonville, Florida.brings us the bad intelligence of the death of J. S. Adams, Esq., which took place at his home in Jacksonville, on Sunday, April 23d. Mr. Adams was born in 1820, the son of the late Hon. Charles Adams, of Burlington. He entered the University at the early age of Ii years and graduated in 183S, in the class with Alexander Mann, Calvin Pease, An drew Robertson, and John Gregory Smith. After graduating he taught school in Bur lington and at Winooski, and studied law in his father's oEcc. In 1S43 he was ad mitted to the Chittenden county bar. About the year 1819 he went to California ; but re mained there only a year or two. Return ing to Burlington, he resumed the practice of tho law, and in 1851 was appointed Clerk of tho Chittenden County Court, which of iico he held continuously till he left Ver mont, in 1667. In 165C. tho first State Board of Educa tion for Vermont was organized, and Mr. Adams was mado its secretary. It is in con nection with this office and his arduous and successful labors in behalf of the common" schools of Vermont, that Mr. Adams was be?t known ; and the record and results of his work will long remain a most worthy monument to his memory. Ho found our public school system at a low DOint. lack ing organization, supcrvision.andefficiency. Ho left it, not certainly all it should be, but at a vat advance upon its former con dition. With the aid and counsel nl the State Board, which comprised such men as rresiacni reasc, i. 1'. Itedlield. J. D. Bradley and other eminent citizens of Ver mont, the school system of our State was re organized. Tho school laws were re modeled. The basis of distribution of the public money was changed. Town superin tendents were made responsible to the State. Teachers' institutes were estab lished ; tho existing system of school re gisters as a means of procuring statistical information inaugurated ; uniformity and improvement in text books largely secured ; graded schools put iu operation ; the occu pation of tho teachers and their efficiency as a class greatly elevated ; great improve ment in school buildings secured ; order prougnt out oi cnaos, and new Iilo put into the whole school system. In this work Mr. Adams held the laboring oar, and gavo his time and strength to it with an industry and devotion for which the small salary aimcucu 10 tno ouice was a most inadequate compensation. He used olten. in the later years of his secretaryship, to relato his ex periences in inaugurating somo of tho first teachers' institutes, for which in some of tho back towns he had to ring the tells, build the fires, and sweep out the school rooms with his own bands, often opening an in stitute with but half a dozen persons in attendance, but never closing one without a full hou-e,and a great arousing of inter est in the schools. During tho eleven years that he filled the Secretarvshm. he held in stitutes and educational meetings in almo-t an ino consiaeraoic towns ol the state, and when he resigned ho probably had the widest personal acquaintance in tho State pos-cs.-od by any Vermonter. On his return from California, Mr. Adams associated himself with tho Free boll party, and was active in effecting tho coalition with the Democrats in the Lcgi. lature.m lsj.which gave Vermont tho only Demoeratu governor ol this state in a generation past. He joined the Republican party when it was organized, and was thenceforward an ardent Republican. He was a fiery and effective political orator, as weilas alluent and often eloquent speaker on educational and other public topics. His name was prominent among tho-e mentioned for Representative in Congress, during tho exciting canvass of ItCO, in this I'istrict. lie was a member of tho Cor poration of the Lnivcrsity of Vermont, irom i?ui to iah7. In the Fail of 16C7. nartlv from failing health, partly from u difference with the Board ol Education in regard to the adop tion of a new list oi text-books, Mr. Adams resigned his clSces as Secretary of the Board of Education and County Clerk, and removed to Jacksonville, Florida, where he resided thenceforth. Soon after his remov al thither he was appointed Commis-ioner cf Immigration for tho State of Florida. the duties of the cfiice being to dissemi nate information in regard to the ate, and to direct immigrants thith er, lie was sub-eauently annotnted Collector of Customs lor the nort ol St. Johns, and held that office some threo years. He established a weekly new-paper in Jacksonville, under the title ol lht .Vie uth, which be edited and published until his death. Ho was appointed postmaster at Jacksonville.two or three years ago,and held the office at his death. In July of la-t year symptoms of active pulmonary disease be gan to show thcm-elvcs in one of his lunss which was weakened by a severe attack of pneumonia in IsTO. In last October hewa- E rostrated with typhoid fever. From this c recovered and durinir Januarv and nart of February la-t was able tj go to bis office. lint consumption had marked Into lor its victim. During the two months pat he failed steadily; and on Sunday of last week, at 1 p. m., ho passed away, at tho age ot ai years. Mr. Adams was twice married. His daughter (by his Crt marriage), a lovely and promising girl, died at Brattleboro, at school, a year ago la-t December. A son, al-o by his first marriage, his wife, and his -ister, Mis Helen M. Adams, who gave to him end bis a devotion which wordscan not describe, survive him, and will have the tearful sympathy of numerous friend' in our community in their bereavement. He was buried at Jacksonville, on Monday, the 21th inst. Mr. Adams was a man of many good qualities, and wo caro to remember no others. He was unselfish, public-spirited, enthusiastic, untiring as a worker, of active mind and strong feelings, blunt but kindly in speech, unostentatious, of unquestioned integrity. The State owes him a debt it can never repay ; and he will long be held in grateful memory by the teachers and all who are interested in the common s:hoolsof our State. Richmond. The May-day parties con cluded to DOstpone their fe-tivities to some future time, on account or circumstances over which they had no control. The temperance lecturc,latSibbath even ing, by Mr. IIue, was well attended, and was a very intere-ting and instructive one. the speaker holding tho close attention of his audience for an hour and a half. Ho briefly sketched the baneful influence of in temperance. Tho Koran, he said, forbids tho ue of intoxicating drink.and no Mahometan will use it in any form. If, said the speaker, stars of tho first magnitude, like Webster. Clay. Donglas, and Seward, were bound by this evil, there is certainly danger for the youth of our times. He bad been speak ing for the la-t nino months, sometimes in Vermont and thn in New York, and the contrast was very much in favor of Ver mont, so far as drunkenness is concerned. The first timo he ever -aw a man drunk in Vermont wa last Tuesday, in St. Albans. He urged greater effort on tho part of churches and Sunday-schools in behalf of temperance. But ho should be heard to be appreciated. The choir furnished appro priate and stirring music for tho occasion, and received the thanks of tho speaker.
