TIE LAST OF NELSON'S CRRw.-A
veteran sailor, named John Groombridge,
above 100 years Of age, and said 10 be
the last survivor of Lord Nelson's crew
at Copenhagen, made call few days
ago upon some of his old Kentish friends.
1t appears that he was born at Yalding,
was apprenticed at Chatham to Quaker
named White, and was married at twen-
ty years Of age; but on the day of his
wedding was seized by a press gang and
hurried off to Hull, whence he was sent
TO sea, and remained in the service
through the long succeeding wars, com
mencing with that against the reyolted
American colonies. now the United States.
Among the engagements IN which he
took part was one against the now his
torical privateer, or rather buccaneer
Paul Jones. Subsequently, he served
under Nelson both at Copenhagen and
Trafalgar, and has sailed with our present
Baltic and Black Sea admirals, Napier
and Dundas, when the former was boy
lieutenant. He is now an in-pensioneF
Of Greenwich Hospital, the oldest on the
college books, and is, he says, the sole
survivor of the crew sailing in the Vic
tory when Nelson met with his deatl
wound. He retains perfect command
of all his faculties. He adds that be

A CAUTION TO DEALERS IN Poor Ii
oUoR,--A Saltwater correspondent of tire
Minnesota Pioneer narrates the following
amusing incident, which transpired at
The Spring term of the Circuit of Court
St: Crolx County, Wisconsin
The Judge Of the Cncuit Court lately
IN session at Hudson, in Wisconsin, gave
charge to the Jury in a certain action
tried before him, which excited, consid-
cradle merriment in the court room at
the time.
The action was to recover the value of
certain liquors sent from below. and con-
signed for sale to the defendant. Evil
dence was given on the part of the de-
fendant to show that the brandies, &c.
were made of forty cent whiskey and
drugged at that: whereas the Judge ap-
peared quite indignant, and charged the
jury nearly as follows:
Gentlemen of fhe Jtru-Pure, una
dulterated liquor is a wholesome and
pleasant beverage, and as far as the ex.
perfence of the court extends, conducive
10 health and longevity; but bad arti-
Gle oil liquor, gentlemen, or what is worse,
a drugged article, cannot be tolerated,
and If dealers from below will send up
into this country, so blessed with the
smiles of a benign Creator, such a mis-
erable quality of liquors as the proof
shows this to be, in this court gentle
men of the jury, they cannot recover"
From the n. Y. Journal of Commerce
1t seems that the whole town of North.
ampton could not or would not keen one
poor black pauper out of the Aims House.
while the South provide labor and food
for three millions. The following will
show how the town of Northampton, the
birthplace Of several Of our leading Abo-
litlonlstS, estimates the value of a good
old servant, one hundred years old.
NORTHAMPTON.
Poor OLD PRIMUS.-The Selectmen of
Northampton sent, last week, the paupers
in town, who are entitled to a support
from the Commonwealth, to the State
Aims House at Monson and among them
was 50 old Primus," colored man, who,
according to the best information, is at
least ore hundred years old. lie has
resided in town from period Of time to
which the memory Of few can recur, but
yet he had not gained illegal residence"
Poor old man. he disllked to leave the
dwelling place of so many years. and we
almost wish that the Selectmen could
have felt justified in allowing him to en-
JOY the charity of the town for the rem
nant of his days. But he has had the
of taking his first ride upon
a railroad, and We commend him to the
kindly consideration of the accomplished

IRON SUSPENSION BRIDGEs.-The Bur
falo Democracy has no faith iron bridges
and for the following among other rea-
sons
- There is an inherent and latent dc
feet in Iron, that Will for ever make it an
unreliable material for Bridge Structures
OF the Suspension form. 1t suffers gra-
dual loss of tenacity under use. The
very best brands Of iren, and the most
carefully made, are not exempt from this
defect. When constantly subjected to
conclusion, tension, and vibration, the
metal grsnulates. 1t looses in greater
or less degree, that peculiar relation and
arrangement of its constituent particles,
which gives to it the quality of tenacity.
So that an Iron Suspension Bridge which
when new, would sustain an almost un-
limited weight, will at length probably
become unsafe-though not a trace Of
weakness would be discovered In any of
its piers, or ground fastenings.
1t is within the fresh recollection Of
most of our readers, that the vibration
produced by the marching Of part of a
regiment of infantry under arms, across
a French suspension bridge, in the neigh
borhood of Paris, caused it to break down
at one end The soldiers sank in the
river by by platoons-a monster calamity,
So of the suspension bridge at Broughton,
near Manchester, in the year 1881. 1t
was broken down by the march of a sim
gle company of sixty soldiers. The whole
of them were precipitated into the river.
More than one-third OF the suspension
rods of the celebrated Menai bridge were
broken by storm of the 7th of January,
1889. Both of its carriage ways were
rendered impasSable-some 200 feet OF
them being torn down. The chain bridge
in Morpcth, Northumberland, fell down
in 1880, the vibration produced by the
crossing, in dense body, Of crowd re.
turning from the exhibition Of mounte-
banks. The well-known chain pier in
Brighton, England, had several of its
suspending rods broken in storm in
October, 1853, and considerable portion
of its roadway, in two of the divisions,
carried away. On the 18th of May, dur
ing Storm of wind and rain, the superb
suspension bridge across the Ohio river
at Wheeling, was completely blown down
and flung wreck into the water, bottom
side upwards. Its massive cables were
twisted off, and its abutments injured
The bridge was considered in this coun-
try to be a model of architecture, and
among the very best of the suspension
class throughout the world"
The Great Western railroad is to be
connected with the New York central
line by an iron suspension bridge at Lew
iston, now nearly completed, under the
direction of Mr.. Roebling.
