Lafayette Academy, 149 Lafayette avenne, Brooklyn, N. Y. Rev. D. Marvin, Jr., A. M., Princi- pal, who, in Oct., 1875, purchased from Rev. R. H. L. Tighe, at present minister of Grace (P. E.) Chapel, in
High street, the school known as "Young Ladies' Sem- inary," at 149 Lafayette avenue. In 1877 the name was changed to "Lafayette Academy." At first, pupils of both sexes were received ; now, boys only are received. The school is designed as a preparatory school for college, business, or seientifie schools. The course of study includes classics, modern languages, mathematics, natural sciences and English branches.
Society for the Aid of Friendless Women and Children .- In 1869 Mrs. Abigail Bulkley, who had traveled in Europe and observed the practical workings of benevolent institu- tions there, became impressed with the desirableness of an institution for the temporary shelter and protection of friend- less women. In connection with Mrs. A. Crittenden and others she rented rooms for the purpose, and they com- menced the work of relieving those whoin they found in dis- tress and destitution, and whose only shelter would be the "station house." Others soon joined them in their good work, which was at first carried on at their own expense. This was the nucleus of the association that has since been known as the Society for the Aid of Friendless Women and Children.
The work of these ladies attracted the attention of other benevolent people, who contributed for it, as they saw its good results; and, in 1871, the society was incorporated by an Act of the Legislature. In the same year the building now occupied by the society, on Concord street, between Fulton and Washington streets, was purchased for $30,000. The annual disbursements now reach the sum of $6,000, and the number receiving relief is 600 annually.
The object of this society is to give temporary relief, and to aid in finding homes and employment for those who have been overtaken by adversity.
The first President of the society was Mrs. Bulkley, who died in July, 1876: her successor was Mrs. A. S. Barnes, whose death occurred in October, 1881. Mrs. H. L. Packer was chosen to succeed Mrs. Barnes in the presidency.
Skinner .- The residence of the late Dr. Salmon Skinner, No. 124 Montagne st. (see view, page 948), is the present dental office of his son and sneeessor, David S. Skinner. It is, also, one of the two houses first ereeted on that street.
Humphreys, A. W .- In our biography of this gentle- man, (see page 515a), it should have been mentioned that he is one of the managers of the New York Metal Exchange.
Turkish Baths .- According to Dr. Dio LEwis, the first Turkish Bath in the U. S. was built by Dr. Shep- ard in Brooklyn (see p. 1361); the first in Boston by Dr. Esterbrook, in 1861; the second by Dr. Adams, in 1862 or '63; third by Dr. Adams, in 1863, under Dr. Wood's supervision.

Addenda to the sketch of Hon. EBEN MOODY BOYNTON, page 826.
The record of the Boynton family in England begins with Bartholomew Boynton, Lord of the Manor of Burton Acres, Bryerton, England, A. D. 1014, and continues uninterruptedly to the present time.
Mr. Boynton's social relations have been singularly fortunate and happy. His summer home is on Pipestave Hill, in West Newbury, Mass., overlooking Newbury- port and the lovely valley of the Merrimac, whose tidal waters sweep the base of the eminence. His par- sonage farm was once the property of Caleb Moody, his ancestor; and his tower commands a view of forty mountain peaks, ineluding Mt. Washington. The first Senator of the United States from Massachusetts re- sided there. Senator Dalton, and his brother-in-law, Hooper, entertained upon this hill many distinguished French exiles after the French Revolution, among whom were Louis Phillipe, afterwards king of Franee, M. de Talleyrand, and the young poet, Brissot, who here wrote his sketches of the most beautiful scenery in New England.
Within a half hour's drive are the birth-places of the poet Whittier, Gov. Josiah Bartlett, Hon. Caleb Cushing, Win. Lloyd Garrison, Caleb Moody, Major Ben. Perley Poore, John Newell, and other distin- guished men, while just below on a beautiful island is the residence of Harriet Prescott Spofford. James Parton, the historian, resides a mile further in New. buryport, opposite the old home of Dr. Tyng. The castellated house erected, and for six years inhabited by the British Minister, Sir Edward Thornton, looks
out from Laurel Hill near by, the property of Capt. H. W. Moulton, and his literary family.
Mr. Boynton eame to his present place of residence when he was fourteen years old, to reside with Mrs. Susan Coker, a sister of Mrs. General Peabody, of Newburyport, who had in her household her nephew, George Peabody, the banker, during his early man- hood. The influence of Mrs. Coker, and her daughter Catherine, was of value to young Boynton in the form- ative age, and when he married, she gave him the Peabody clock as a souvenir of the distinguished banker.
In 1872, on May 1st, Mr. Boynton married Anna Bartlett Gale, the only daughter of Dr. Stephen M. Gale, of Newburyport, connected through her father with the Bartletts, Josiah Bartlett being her great- grandfather, and the Websters, on the side of her mother, Hannah Whittier Johnson, with the Johnsons and Whittiers. She is a lady of high literary and musical eulture, uniting these pursuits with domestie tastes. Among their friends are numbered some of the best people in the land. Their union has been blessed with four promising daughters. That their summer home is one of rare beauty and happiness, we ean testify from personal knowledge.
Erratum .- In the sketeh of the Hon. E. M. Boyn- ton, page 826, third line from the bottom, " Gen. George Thorn " should be Gen. George Thom.
JOHN J. HARDY .- This well-known citizen of Brooklyn, was born in Nottingham, England, January 26, 1811, and passed the earlier years of his life in the mother country. Like so many others, he determined to seek his fortunes in in America, and made Brooklyn his place of residence. Mr. Hardy first married Miss Mary Reek, who died in 1832; their son, William T., is a resident of Brooklyn, and has two sons, William T., Jr., and Winfield A. Mr. Hardy married, for his second wife, Miss Anna Reek (sister of his former wife), but she lived only a few years. He afterward married Miss Louise A. Wykes; the result of this union was one daughter, Fanny L., who resides at the homestead on 3d avenue. Some time after the death of his wife, Mr. Hardy married his pres- ent wife, Emily Singleton, who was born in Nottingham also. Mr. Hardy's business career has been fortunate. His industry and integrity have brought prosperity. In 1851, he established the manufacture of axle grease, on a small scale, but gradually extended his operations until the annual product is large. The manufactory is in South Brooklyn. Mr. Hardy is an upright business man, somewhat conserva- tive, yet enterprising, and has the esteem and confidence of those who know him.
ERRATA.
Medical History of Kings Co .- On page 415 it is stated that Dr. Beekman refused to ask pardon of Gov. Slangliter, and was ultimately released. This is an error. Beekman did ask pardon, but was not released until after the arrival of Slaughter's suceessor to the Governorship. F. B. G.
William Matthews .- The name of this gentleman occurring in the history of Flatbush (page 235), and also in connection with the mention of the Episcopal Church in that village, should be spelt with two "t's."
