President johnson as a Tailor.

A recent letter from Grsenville, Tenn,
says:
had long and interesting CONVERSE
ton yesterday with an old gentleman, a
tailor by trade, who formerly worked in
Johnson shop. He says that Andy was
the best tailor he ever saw, and that
coats made by him never ripped. His
work was not only substantial, but neat
and tidy. All the young bloods about
Greenville who parted their hair behind
and stalked about with gold-headed
canes, used to patronizs Andy, as it was
the current report that a young fellow
who wore full suit of Johnson's cut and
make could marry quicker, and stood
higher with the ladies, than others.
When johnson was elected Alderman
there was as much honor in the position
as there would be in owning hen and
chickens, and it is said that the young
fellows about town elected him for
jske. Two years afterwards he was
chose Mayor. In 1885, when be waa
first elected to the Legislature, be quit
the tailoring business for the time being,
but the next session, when he was de-
feated, be again resumed his old place on
the workman's bench.

A letter from Tamworth, New Hamp-
shire, says that Mr.. VIM. Price, of that
town, caught in a small steel trap white
headed eagle that measured from tip TO
tip seven and one half feet, from the tip
OF the bill to the end of the tail three feet,
weighing eleven pounds. The trap was
fastened to the carcass of sheep that
would probably weigh more than City
pounds, and such was the strength of tie
eagle that he would raise the carcass
from the ground. He showed so much fight
that Mr.. Price was compelled to kill him.

JUsrIcEs OF THE PEACE.-We experienced
much trouble in printing the tickets for the
late election iu consequence of not having

seven we had to pint double set OF tickets
at mnch labor and expense to us. We are
compelled TO change the form eleven times
in printing the ii, ket for the county and are
very desirous Of having the names Of the
candidates for Justices Of the Peace in each

Of the paper, and frcm which to print The
