An Address BIZ Gen. Hartranft.

Maior-G General John +. Hartranft,
who lives at Norristown when not on ac-
tive duty in the field, was serenaded by a
number of the citizens of that place on
Monday night of last week. A speech
was made by Benjamin L. Hancock, Esq,
to which our gallant candidate for Auditor
General responded in brief address,
which shows that he knows how to think
and talk as we'll as fight. He said:
My Fellow Citizens: l thank you
most sincerely for this compliment to-
night. 1t makes me feel that you en-
dorse my past public life and that | hold
your confidence and support in the polti-
cal contest soon to be inaugurated. al
so thank you, Mr.. Hancock, for the kind
mention Of my military history. Of this
[ will not speak, nor will | detain you
but moment.
As soldier [ feel it my duty to give
my humble aid to the great party which
has during the Rebellion so nobly sup
ported the government in the struggle
Tor its existence and national honor 1t
put forth It's strong arm and assisted the
government in filing our depleted ranks.
If this had not been done, we would still
be digging in front Of Petersburg, or per-
haps been compelled to accept dishonor-
able peace to do this in righteous cause
would have been disgrace to every soldier.
If the soldier is true to himself he must
be true to the Union party. His pension
list, his bounty for his early enlistment,
his right of suffrage, his protection also
appeal to him.
1t need not say that every effort should
be made now to protect and encourage
labor, you will understand that it is the
wealth of the nation. And while this is
true let the people, also from patriotic
considerations, see that all returned sold
iers are honorably employed. 1t is the
highest favor that can be bestowed upon
him or his country. He will then soon
forget his camp life and become an in
dustrious and prosperous citizen.
The military power of the Rebellion is
crushed, may say forever, and the ma
tion looms up amidst the ruins more grand
and powerful than it ever seemed before
But remember the spirit Of the Rebellion
is still alive, and must be most carefully
guarded. Let 1t be shorn of all politica
power, for in that is concealed all its
strength and danger. l hope soon to see
the immense armies of the north and
south in civil and peaceful pursuits, all
adding their energy to restore our happy
and glorious country to its former wealth
and prosperity.

An Extraordinary Story.

The London &C. W) Free Press tells
the following extraordinary story about
man who was without food for three weeks,
and who became "living skeleton"
can American named James Rush en-
ployed by our townsman Mr.. Hunt, at
the Sells mill in Southwold, left his
work last 18th of July for the the purpose
of returning to his home in the States
On the same day he arrived at and dined
in Port Stanley, but finding no vessel
there which answered his propose, he took
the lake-shore road westward, intending
to spend few days harvesting among the
farmers in the neighborhood. Before clim-
bing the bank he, being hot, resolved tore
fresh himself by bath in the ripping
waves of Lake Erie. He felt sick in the
water, and the next thing he remembers in
finding himself naked ON the sandy shore,
with consciousness of having drank raw
enously of water to assuage his great
thirst. He, was day or two getting on
his clothes his skin was cracked on his
face and other places, and filled with sand;
and he was so weak that he failed many
times in the arduous labor of climbing
the bank This he at last plished
only on Saturday, the 5th of August when
he, unable to climb fence, made signs
to two men in the field, who, fortunately
for him, had come to make bargain
about some sheep. The two persons were
Mr.. Mcpherson, farmer, and Mr. Blake,
butcher, Fingal. At first they took the
solitary being for some wandering Indian,
but, after some doubts, decided as they
saw him fall, that he must be drunk or
injured, and then resolved to see what
he was When they came to him, ina
CINE their horror and surprise at the
sight of living skeleton-a veritable
live shadow of death
AThis extraordinary case is to be ac-
counted for by the supposition that Mr..
Rush, who was stout, hearty man, had
had sunstroke and an attack of typhoid
fever, during which he in some way had
obtained water from the lake, the only
support except his own flesh to the dem
ands of consuming fever for seventeen
days. His legs, are now, as, Mr.. Hunt
has remarked, like pipestems;' but he is
now carefully tended and cared for By
Mr. Mcpherson, whose kindness will, We
hope, soon restore this unfortunate man
to health and friends and usefulness"

Employment in Factory Towns.

One thousand persons were added to
the population of Great Falls, n H., in
three weeks by the influx of factory
operatives. A like increase has taken
place in other factory towns. Lowell has
probably made up the six thousand in
habitants she lost 1860 to the enumera-
tion of 1865. When the factories started
up there and elsewhere a few weeks ago
they sent advertisements to all parts Of
New England and the British provinces,
offering such wages that an emigrant
fever at once sprung up. Thousands Of
Canadians in the rawest and rudest state
were collected by runners employed for
that purpose, and rushed forward. In a
train on the Vermont Central railroad the
other day we met one of these agents who
had collected fifty hands for Connecti
cut factory. They were Of different ages,
sizes, and colors-a mixture of English,
French, Indian, and Canadian, showing
in speech and appearance their origin
Such parties can be seen in the railroad
cars every day. There has never been
seen such movement before; it equala
the migration of men to California in
lS49. [Newburyport Herald, August II.

sD- We had the pleasure and honor of
a call this morning from his Ezcellency
Gov. Curtin, and the Hon. VIM. B. Man.
The care and anxiety consequent upon a
faithful and conscientious discharge of
the duties devolving upon the Gov. for
the last four eventful years, have made
somewhat Of an impression upon his health
and looks. But we were much gratifed
to find him in possession at present of
both good health and spirits. The coun-
try has long since learned to look upon
him as being in every respect man and
patriot. May he live long to enjoy his
we!l-earned honors.
Wm. B. Man has long ably discharged
the duties Of District Attorney of Phila.,
and is again the Union candidate for re-
election, and we have no doubt that he
will be triumphantly successful, as he de-
serves TO be.
