printers of the olden time, living in this section
He commenced his apprenticeship in the Spy Office,
with one of the fathers fprinting in New England,
Isaiah Thomas, in 1890, with whom, and his son,
who succeeded him. he remained until 1896. He
then went to Boston, where he remained in print.
ing-otfce about six months, when under the patron
age of his friends, and assisted by Mr.. Thomas he
went to West Brook6eld, in 1897, and commenced
the publication of the &c Political Repository and
Farmers journal, the Massachusetts Spy being The
only paper then published in the county. Mr. Merri-
am published the Repository three years, using the
press formerly owned by Benjamin franklin when,
for the want of sufficient patronage, the paper was
discontinued Mr.. Merriam then supplied his Office
with the necessary type and materials for dong

The old gentleman is still full of the buoyancv of

The Black SWAN.

Our readers will be glad to learn that this new
musical prodigy, Miss Greenfield, whose perform.
ances in various towns and cities since her first debut
in the early part of the winter, have ELECTED the
praise ofal, will give concert at the Horticultural
Hall, on Wednesday evening, Feb 18Th Her con-
certs in Boston, Providence, Salem, Buffalo, and
Albany, have been attended by the elite Of those
cities, and appears to be the unanimous verdict of
the critics. that she possesses musical talents of the
highest order. We have already published our own
impressions in regard to her talents as vocalist,
and here suboin portion OF editorial notice from
the Boston Commonwealth, the editor Of which, is
acknowledged to be judge in such matters:
owe yesterday had the pleasure of hearing the
singer who Is advertised in our columns as the
"Biack Swan" She is person of lady-like man
ners, elegant form, and not unpeasing, though de-
cldedly African features. Other marvellous powers,
she owes none to any tincure Of Europ. an blood
Her voice is truly wonderfully both in its compass and
truth. more correct information, so far as our ear
can decide, there could not be. She strikes every
note on the exact centre, with mhesaing decision,
and unerrng truth. There is, obviously, WIDE room
tor cultivation, but her singing, apart from the mar.
vel of its ranging from low bass TO the highest
treble. is exceedingly pleasing, and we think, will
take the public, both musical and unmuSica by sur
prise. We should not, to be sure, think Of compar-
ing her with Jenny Lind, with any one else
She is nondescript-an original. We cannot think
any common destiny awaits her."
We trust that the "Swan'' will be greeted here
with an overlooking house, and we feel certain that
none OF those who attend, will go away dissatisfied

CURIOUS FACTs-A writer in the Washington
Union furnishes the following statement of the inan
cia condition of the Collins Line Of Steamers, as
certified under oath:
The cash cost of the Collins line Of
steamers ready for sea, was 1894, l42 II
While the present condition Of the
company is as follows, viz:
Oi the whole amount of
stock subscribed, a.
l32 ,000) there was
paid in 81. 099 900
The government loan was 3S5, 900
The company have bor-
rOwed and issued bonds
for 100000
Their floating debt is now,
exclusive of interest,
say 100000
3,1s4,9OO 90
The company have therefore sunk $50, 900 90
And no dividends have been paid
to stockholders.
The actual average cost of each
voyage to England ard back is So ,2l5 Ga
The actual receipt OF each voyage
has been As, 2S6 SIS
Deficiency each voyage 1929 70
Or for twenty voyages 1856, 574 40
The company have been for some time before
Congress, IN quest OF additional aid, which, fit
does not receive, the line must be discontinued.
When the Cunard steamers first began to ply,
they charged as high as Gl0 and Els sterling,
per ton. As soon as the Collins line started,
these fIeights came down to Is los: and now
freight r. Le5l~I IN tho IInitsd States arc
rvv'aced to ia, and from the United SIapes 81 10
England, to anything that may be obtained, from
Cd barrel flour TO Is cd per barrel Apples,
lard, cheese. beef, &c, ale now carried out to
England at mere nominal freight, and because
steamers admit of superior ventilation, arrive
out In state of perfect preservation. tits great
mistake, therefore, to suppose that it is merely
the seacoast aud the Atlantic States which are
benefited by regular American steam commu-
ncatlon with England. The West and South are
equally benefited by it. Western provisions
have been carried in the Collins line from New
York to Liverpool, for less than they could be
sent down from Albany to the city ofNew York.

MISREPRESENTATION

But although the Wing party has been to
great extent abolitionized, yet there has al
ways been an Abolition organization outside of
the Wing party, not absorbed by it. bit ready
to unite ruth It whenever ii could infict Il blOW
on the Democrlcy'-WashngtOn Union.
Never true of the abolition organization
in Presidential elections In lS44 according
to both Wing and Democratic testimony, the
Liberty men, by refusing to unite with the
Wing Party, permitted James X Polk to gain
the vote of New York, and thereby his election
to the Presidential chair In l84s, by uniting
with the Radical Democracy of New lork-not
the Wing Pary-it defeated General Cass. In
1852 the Democratic leaders are rejoicing at
the nomination of Mr. Hale, because calcula-
ted to reduce he chance of the Wing Party
for success. As to State politics look at Mas
sachusetts. Wing ascendency in that State
has been broken down and offices distributed
by Il coalition between the Democratic Party
and the abolition organization "a coalition
which filled the Governors chair in Massa-
chusetts, sent Sumner to the Senate and the
lamented RantOul to the House of Representa-
tives. In the face of these facts the Washing

organization Las been ready to unite with

DEATH OF HON. ORIN FOWLER.

The Massachusetts, delegation in Congress
has sustained another severe loss in the death
of Mr. Fowler, q faithful representative, most
estimable man. and true Christian.
Mr.. Fowler graduated at Yale, subsequently
entered the ministry, and sustained the relation
of pastor to the Congregational Church at Fall
River, Massachusetts, when he died. He was
true to the cause of Freedom, and was greatly
respected in the House of Representatives for
his purity of heart and life, and his uniform
uprightness.
He died ON Friday evening, at his residence
in Washington, from an attack of pneumonia,
after an illness of five days The funeral took
place on Sunday afternoon, with the customary
honors, and his remains were then placed on
the cars, to be conveyed to Fall River, his at
ficted widow, under the escort Of Mr. SUM
ner, proceeding with them.

MIR. HALE AND THE PIERCE DEMOCRACY.

The Washington Union has made the won
derful discovery that the Pittsburgh move
ment is intended to promote the elecuoh Oh
General Scott that were Scott stronger than
he is the Pittsburgh ticket would not be offer
ed in any State where it night be mischievous
and that Mr.. Hale declines any acceptance oil
the nomination rendered him, from uncertain
ty what is the best course to pursue.
We do not mean any disrespect to our neigh
Dor, but we may as well tell him, that this is
all sheer nonsense. The Independent Democ-
racy form distinct, Independent organization,
with their own creed, their own objects, their
own candidates They have taken issue on the
Presidential Question with both the old parties
war against the policy and platforms OF both,
will enter into no arrangement or coalition Tor
the support of the candidates OF either Mr.
Hale has not yet written formal letter OF ac-
ceptance, but he has accepted the Pittsburgh
nomination, and will soon take the field in
person against both the old parties.
We understand the Union: like the rest Of
the supporters of General Pierce, it was anxious
for the nomination of Mr.. Hale: the announce
ment filled them with joy, for they said at once
that it would secure them Ohio, beyond a
doubt They feared the nomination OF Chase,
under the impression that it would bear more
heavily against the Democratic Party But as
Hale has not by letter publicly signifed his ac-
ceptance of the nomination, they begin to feel
distressed lest he should decline. and thereby
reduce their chances again in Ohio. Let them
put their hearts at rest on this point. The
Pittsburgh Convention was above all policy
the majority determined that Hale should be
the candidate, whatever might be the conse-
quences Men under the controlling influence
Of high moral or philanthropic motives are not
much addicted to calculation Mr.. Hale has
nothing to do but to accept 1t would not do
to hazard the reputation Of such an organza-
ton But we advise the supporters Of General
Pierce to moderate their joy. Mr.. Hale on the
stump will do exact justice to both parties, and
find as ready access, we doubt not, to the hearts
Of Free Soil Democrats as Of Free Soil Wings.
