Death OF An Old Printer.

]. G. Clinck, one Of the Oldest
printers in the South, died I'm Mem
phis not long ago In the 18th year
Of his age. The Avalanche says that
he had been O resident of Memphis
many, many years. Before the war
he was connected with Jeptha
Fowlkes In the publication OF the
Financial Express. For some time
past he was, on account Of age and
infirmity, superannuated member
of the profession. He was one of the
pioneers of the press In the Western
country, and labored faithfully dur.
ing the years of its progress. He was
one of the few members of the arr
preventative who, to the last, pre-
served a fond recollection OF hand
press newspaperism and the.days O.
monthly journals.

GAINESVILLE, TENN, Nov. L.,
1S69.-One Of your editors, In para
graph referring 10 the poem OF tho
Beautiful Snow" which appeared
a day or two since, made the state
ment that / was dead. The an
nouncemcnt was rather surprise to
me, although I believe this is tho
third time during the present year
that my old friends OF the newspaper
press have killed me off.
1 am reminded of the anecdote Of
old Rumfeldt and the buzzard. Rum
feldt was well-to-do farmer, of
Stewart county, in this State. He
was regular In his attendance at
court Mt Dover, but seldom turned
his face homewards until he had
swallowed more whisky than his
skin could well hold or his legs con-
veniently carry. On one occasion he
got on his Level early, and, about the
middle Of . hot July evening, started
for home. He had not gone far,
however, when he was seized with
an uncomfortable desire 10 take nap.
He dismounted from his horse,
turned him loose to Craze, and rolled
himself into fence corner. He was
sleeping very sweetly, when he was
espied by buzzard, which was sail
ing about In the vicinity, hunting
for something to eat. Smaller aud
smaller grew the circles Of the buzz
card rs he approached his victim,
cautiously taking observations. At
last, but still I'm some doubt, the bird
lit on the ground near its expected
feast. About this time Rumfeidt be-
came aware that something was go
ing on aud he partially opened one
eve, and saw the buxzard, but was
still too drunk to take any active
steps to drive 1t away. He however
kept a close watch. The buzzard
strutted around and around him, all
the time inspecting Rumfeldt closely
aud cautiously, to ascertain posi-
lively that Rumfeldt was dead; he
finally became satisfied that the cor
pus before him was indeed carcass,
and consequently "his meat"
whereupon he advanced deliberately
to Ruinfeldt's head, and gave him q
severe peck In the face. This aroused
Rumfeldt, and striking out la2ily
with his hand to prevent n repetition
of the attack, he exclaimed: 7" Look
err here--yo,s're q t-e-e-tie too damn
smdrt-I AMT dead yeti" s
The anecdote Ia strictly true. You
can make the application to the case
In hand. Yours, etc.

Nov Alcohol Inso.,c.sc..

1t Is not the presence of the alcohol
which intoxicates, but the absence of
oxygen which Is produced by the too
rapid alcoholic combustion. A small
dose of alcohol stimulates combus-
ton; produces, consequently, more
heat, and more cellular activity, but
In the degree that the alcoholic alb
sorption Is increased, and the oxygen,
which cannot DO furnished so quick
by the lungs, Is decreased, and COM
bustion of carbon ceases the blood
of drunken man Is consequently
black. The cellular action becomes
irregular and interrupted; the cells
of the brain (of the small first) lose
their nourishment and give up; and
all motions become irregular until
totally prevented. -e7f .1.sf
A drunken man is insensible, and
can be considered dead until the al
cohol has passed out, and the newly
absorbed oxygen begins again to kin
die up new combustion of the extin-
guished material. Gradually the
cells begin to act again; reason re-
turns afterward motion but 1t Is .
long time before the appetite returns.
The stomach refuses all food until
combustion is in full action again.
When a drunkard awakes he chills
with cold, and he anxiously seeks
the fireplace In the hottest summer.
His nerves shake from the over-use
they had to endure. tt-
His mouth Is dry, SO IL his stom-
ach he feels tired, but cannot sleep
his eyes are dim, yet constantly
open; his skin is cold and dry; his
pulse weak and quick; all the cells
of the animal function have been
abused, and cannot perform their Of
fee until stimulated and revived by
alcohol, or until normal combustion
has re-nourished them; and because
the latter is slow in its operations
and processes under these circum
stances, while the former Is quick and
rapid In its results, he drinks ant
drinks aud drinks again. Cell aftel
cell, therefore, becomes lost, without
being replaced. The stomach, intes.

OF January. lT06. He was the son OF Thomas
Collier who published the Idtchfleld Monitor
Newspaper, at that period. In 1917 Mr..
Collier removed 10 sleubenviile, Ohio,
where he soon afterward engaged In
the practice of the law, which
he continued for nearly. forty years For long
time his legal business was very extensive.
Hon. ID. M. Stanton, Judge W. r. Johnston, u.
s. Code Of Connecticut, Hon. o. II. Moore of
Ohio, and other distinguished men were
among bis students. Although ever declining
candidacy for any political position, he was
active In all pu clio affairs and enterprises hav.
ing cor pscientious regard for his duties as q
Citizen. His strict integrity strong friendships,
and general excellence of character caused him
70 be very highly esteemed.
Since his removal TO Philadelphia, ten years
ago, Mr.. C)liier has devoted his attention
chiefly to religious and benevolent matters.
He was member of the Board of Managers of
the House of Refuge Of the Asylum for the
Blind, of the Presbyterian Board OF Publica-
tioD, and Of other Institutions OF similar char
acter.

a tame surrender to the armed foes Of the

A CASE OF considerable interest and import
ance to merchants and business men was tried
in the District Court yesterday. The plain
tiffs employed attorneys residing in Phil adel-
phia to collect, through an agent or attorney
OF their own selection, a claim against parties
residing in st. Louis, and in their receipts for
the evidences Of this debt they incorporated
clause waving all responsibility for losses
by war, fire, or misappropriation by agents.
The st. Louis attorney collected the claim,
but failed to forward it to his employers, the
Philadelphia attorneys. The question at issue
was the responsibility of the latter, which the
jury decided against them by returning a YER
dict for the plaintiffs. The principle asserted
in this verdict is that collection agencies ara
responsible for the acts Of their employees.
despite any formal waiver; and whatever NAV
be the law on the subject, it seems that in
equity these risks should be borne by the
parties with whom creditors contract for thu
adjustment of outstanding claims In distant
portions of the country.
