A VETERAN PRrNTER.-The editor
OF the N. Weekly Messenger, lately
paid a visit to Hartford, (Con.) where
he records the following interesting in.
cident:
Since my arrival in this city | have.
had an interesting interview with the
very venerable George Goodwin, who
is now, believe, the oldest practical
printer in America-being in his
eightleth year-but as hale, hearty
and active. apparently, as most men
are at ffty-fiye and sixty. | found him
in the same place, and at the same EN-.
ployment that did when | called upon
hlm twenty years ngo-namely, set.
ting types for the Connecticut Courant.
When expressed some little surprise
thereat, he observed, that he had been
setting types for this paper more than
seventy years, and he could not feel
%con.ented to abandon his favorite en-
ployment at this time of life.
In 1894 there were but two news
papers published in Connecticut-one
at New Haven, and one at New Lon.
don. During that year Mr.. Thomas
Green removed from New Haven to
Hartford, and established the Connec.
ticut Courant. II was the size ola small
sheet of writing paper, and about 400
copies were circulated in this and the
neighboringtowns. Atthat time there
was no printing office north of Hart.
ford, and one between Hartford and
Boston. 1t is a remarkable fact, that
George Goodwin who went an appren.
tice to Mr.. Green, soon after the estab.
llshment of the Courant, at about eight
years of age, has assisted in the publ.
cation of the paper, either as appren.
tlce, proprietor, or editor, from that to
this, a period Of more than 70 years.
Such is the truly honorable George
Goodwin, who by a steady course of
industry, integrity, and economy, has
placed his family in a%fluent circum-
stances, and who by his conduct, has
set a bright example to the world, AMI
especially to the rising generation.

AN HoNoRABLE EXCEPTION TO Tn

AN HONORABLE EXCEPTION TO THE
COLLAR PREss.-The 'People'sFriend,'
a Van Buren, paper recently establish
ed at Brookville, Indiana, has, in its
third number, the following compli.
ment to Gen. Harrison:
"Gen. Harrison we estecm-wo
hold him in the highest Estimation
We know him to be a gentleman at
home and abroad, unbounded in his
hospitality, and generous to a fault"
The Connersville Waterman, in the
same state, under date ofSeptember Sd
thus remarks on the foregoing:
"When Gen. H's'friends abroad are
apprized ofthc fact hat the above con.
~fession ZONES from a paper within thir
ty miles Of his resioence-and that, a
paper that has been gotten up for the
temporary and express purpose Of en-.
deavoring to defeat his election-ihcy
will, we surmise, be very apt to think
that it tells pretty well for him. This
print, has in this, barely said what it
was compelled TO acknowledge. Thou
sands and tens of thousands of Harri-
sons old soldiers, and the early emf.
grants to the wide region Northwest
of the Ohio River, are yet living and
ready to declare, as the grateful tear
starts in their eyes, We know him to
be a gentleman at home and abroad,
unbounded in his hospitality, and gen.
erous to a fault" Yet this worship
per ofthe New York political huckster
begs an beseecbes the people of lndi-
ana not permit their feelings ofgrat-
itude to console their Judgment" SO as
to induce them to vote for their old CO.
vernon and defender"
1t is getting unsafe for even a Van
Buren, man to abuse Harrison in In
dIana.-N. Y. Star.
