Tribute to Printers.

THE Chaplain of the New Hampshire
Penitentiary, in reviewing the events
of his life, since his connection with
that, institution, pays tho following
compliment to journeymen printers:
81 have the happiness to number
among my friends many printers, but
though it may seem to imply either
lack of ability on the part of the min.
lister, or the want Of the qualities that
are necessary to appreciate good
preaching on the other part, yet will
reveal the fact that / never succeeded
we'll with that class. For nine. long
years, and with all the inducements
offered not one of that trade has, CON
nected himself with my congregation
and I do not think man could be
found, of all who, ever tenanted our
prision, who could set up column of
type. leave the reader to make his
own comments, only remarking
that this cannot be accidental, nor
can the explanation be that the en-
ployment keeps them ignorant Of pre-
vailing vices and immorralities, nor yet
that young printers are removed from
the large masses where corruptions
engender and spread. In all these re-
spects this class is very much exposed.
It is evident, we think, that the en-
ployment has an elevating tendency,
and is favorable to intellectual and
moral improvement" nes's

Death Of Hon. J. NJ. Clayton.

Our exchanges inform us that Hon. John M.
Clayton, of Deltware, died at his residence in
Dover on the 9th inst. Mr.. Clayton was Sec
rotary of State under President Fillmore, and
for a long series of years has been Senator in
Congress from Delaware. He was one of the
few great statesmen of the '.old regime who
fingered behind his contemporaries, giving the
wise counsels of age and experience to his
countrymen. Few like him are left. Mr. Bu-
chanan, Mr.. Cass, Crittenden, Mr.. Benton,
Mr.. Dallas and Mr.. Butler, are perhaps the on
ly men left who may claim to have been the
contemporaries and equals of Clayton, as states
men, The nation will mourn the death of the
veteran as public calamity.

Trial Trip Of the First Locomotive.

Major Horatio Allen, the engineer
of the New York and Erie Railroad, in
a speech made during recent festi-
val occasion, gave the following &C
count of the first trip made by loco
motive on this continent
"When was it Who was it? And
who awakened it's energies. and direct
ed its movement 7 1t was in the year
1928, on the banks Of the Lackawaxen,
at the commencement of the railroad
connecting the canal of the Delaware
and Hudson Canal Company with their
coal mines-and he who addresses
you was the only person on that loco
motive. The circumstances which led
to my being alone on the engine were
these The road had been built in the
summer the structure was of hem
lock timber, and rails Of large dimen-
sions nutchrd oncaps placed far apart.
The timber cracked and warped from
exposure to the sun. After about 300
feet of straight line, the road crossed
the Lackawaxen Creek on trestle.
work about 80 feet high, with a curve
of 355 to 400 feet radius. The i'm
preston. was very general that this
iron monster would either break down
the road or it would leave the track
at the curve and plunge into the lcreek.
My reply to such apprehensions was,
that it was too late to consider the
probability of such occurrences there
was no other course but to have a
trial made of the strange ANIMAL which
had been brought here at great ex-
pense but that it was not necessary
that more than one should be involved
in its fate that I would take the first
ride alone, and the time would come
| when should look back to the incident
with great interest. AS placed my
hand on the Unbelievable handle, l
was undecided whether | would move
slowly or with fair degree of speed !;
but believing that the road would
prove safe, and preferring, if we did go
down, to go handsomely, and without
any evidence of timidity, I started
with considerable velocity, passed the
curve over the creek safely, and was
soon out Of hearing of the vast assem-
blage. At the end of two or three
miles reversed the valve and return
ed without accident to the place OF
starting, having thus made the first
railroad trip by locomotive on-the

There was quite scene Of excite
ment at the Dunleith Ferry landing
few days since. The Dubuque Ex-
press & Herald relates the circumstan-
ces as follows: .=---s.-....
"The steamer Thos. Scott was ly-
ing attwart of the Ferry Company's
floats, when Capt. Bogy came up with
his ferry boat Gregoire, laden with
the mali and passengers for the six
o'clock train. The Capt. hailed the
commandant of the, Thos. Scott in a
polite manner, requesting him to move
his boat SO that he could land her mail
and passengers the only reply which
was returned tothis courteous request,
was for the Capt to 60 to h-ll.
Every one who knows the excita-
bility of the Captain may know how
this speech was received by him, es-
pecially when they learn that he has
been much annoyed of late by steam
ers, in open violation of the law, inter
fering with the rights Of the ferry
The Captain, with some pretty warm
words, Immediately took measures to
run the bow of his boat in to land his
passengers and mail, which he accom-
plished with some difficulty, when he
backed his boat out into the stream,
and after getting to a suitable dis
lance, with her bow directed to the
Thos. Scott-on she came with full
head of steam, the people on shore ca
gerly watching for the result, and the
Captain using his superlative freely.
Nearer and nearer she came, until she
came up with a drive a little aft of
the SCOTS wheelhouse, which made a
crashing and sent two or three molas-
ses barrels and other freight flying
over the deck.a .edi a,aaJ
At this point Of the proceedings the
commandant of the Scott went into
the Texas" as was supposed by
1 some, for firearms, whereupon Capt
Bogy told him to come on, he could dc
something at that business too, and
/ Immediately turned his boat out into
the stream, again giving his orders tc
!" fire up.' Rounding his boat, he
could be distinctly heard on the shore
giving his command to Antoine the
pilot, to give her bearing for strik
| ing the Scott little forward of the
wheel-house. At this moment the ex
element on shore was about as high
as the steam on the Gregoire, and the
Thos. Scott found out they had HARD
customer to deal with, and forthwith
hunglout a flag of truce, which Capt
Bogy Immediately, acknowledged, and
reversed his engine. - -
I The concourse on the shore backed
Capt. Bogy with their sympathy, ant
we presume it will be some time be
fore the Scott's commandant will thinl

We learn that Mr.. Hum, who re-
sides some five miles east of st. Charles,
met with serious accident few days
since. He was hauling wood with a
wagon and pair of horses, when, the
wood sliding forward upon the horses,
they became manageable, throwing
Mr. II. off from the load, and the wood
falling on him, several dangerous
wounds were inflicted about the head.
The scalp was parted across the top
of the head and turned down upon the
forehead. Both eyes were for the
time rendered sightless, and gasl
upon the back of the neck severed one
of the cords. DR.. Fessenden was called
to dress the wounds, and entertains
