The following sketch of a former principal
of the old Towanda Academy, whq died last
week, will be read with interest by our older
citizens and those wl:o were pupils of Air.
GUNN more than thirty years ago. The no
tice is taken from the New York Herald of
last Thursday.
Frederick W. Gunn, principal of •' The
Gunnery" f*ch >ol in Washington. Ct., died
at his home yesterday. Although not strictly
a public man, Mr. Gunn's character and at
tainments made Dim a man of considerable
influence, and the pronounced originality of
hi- professional ideas gave him celebrity as a
icaehi r. lie was horn in Washington in 181(1
and was graduated at Yale College with the
class of is;',7, together with Chief Justice
Waite, ex-Secretary of State EvarG. Profes
sors Silliman and Lyman, Hon. Edwards
Pierrcpont and others. The success of the
school that he started shortly after gradua
tion was interfered with by his advocacy of
abolition principles, in behalf of which he
was most active, speaking in public and as
sisting in the escape of runaway slaves. The
expulsion of Mr. Gunn's father from the Con
gregational Church, for espousing the same
cause, was followed by I Do persecution of the
son, who was forced to seek a living by lead -
ing in Pennsylvania for a time; but he short
h returned and lived it down, becoming one
of the most honored citizens of Connecticut.
Some of the peculiar features of his school
have been chronicled hv Dr. Holland in hi
" Arthur Bonnieastlc," where Mr. Gunn and
the *' Gunnery," appear as "Mr. Bird and tl c
Bird's Nest,'' and by W. Hamilton Glenn, the
a Mist, in his "Pastoral Days." in which with
pan and pencil he celebrated his alma mater
under the name of " The Snuggery," kept by
Mr. Snug in Snug Hamlet. For many years
Mi'. Gunn would have no rules for the ivgu
tion of his pupils; but governed them on the
theory that hoys as well as men know in
stinctively the difference between right and
wrong, and he held them responsible for cor
rect. behavior. His punishments were always
unique and were designed rather for the cor
rection of the faults than for the infliction
of pain or penal! v. lie delighted in nature,
and |.obsessed 3 wonderfully intimate knowl
edge of forest and field, of plant and hud life,
and in his generous readiness to imparl his
knowledge he was to all his friends some
thing better than a Burroughs or a Thoreau.
His pupils were encouraged in every way to
familiarize themselves with nature. He
guarded against the danger of a free use of
firearms by the following order: —"Never
nermit a boy to aim an unloaded gun at you;
if you do not knock him down I will llirash
you. Never mind the loaded guns, they nev
er hurt any otu ; it is the empty ones that do
all the mischief." Every iear he look the
hoys into camp, and " Gunn's Camp" was
one of the features of summer life at Lake
Waramang. In teaching the classics Mr.
(.nun sought first to make his scholars famil
iar with the literature of the authors in hand,
leaving a more thorough grammatical train
ing until the writer's stile and the seope of
hi> work were well comprehended. A large
benevolence, the extent of which few per
sons knew, interfered with hi* acquiring
w alth, although his nstitut on was flourish
ing and prosperous. Among the patrons of
"The Gunnery" were Henry Ward Beeclier,
Mrs. Stowe, General John ('. Fremont, Sena
tor Piatt, Senator Dixon. Dr. J. G. Holland,
A. S. Barnes. John T. Howard and others.
Mr. Gunn was married in 1547 to Miss Abby
Brinsmad?, daughter of General Briu-made,
of Connecticut. Their only son died several
years ago. Mrs. Gunn and a daughter. Mrs. '
John C. Brinsmudc, survive him. The fun
eral services will be held in Washington on j
Friday.
