RENFORTH WELL PICTURED.

Mr.. Smalley of the Tribune gives .
lively and graphic picture of Renforth, the
dead English oarsman, as well as much
incidental information -
sRenforth was a man of mark on many
accounts. / was with him shortly before
he set out for Canada He was an iron
man. and his death is quite inexplicable.
He was only 2S years of age. lie had been
several years a soldier in India. He had
been a sailor. He was the greatest swim
mer the Tyne has produced. Ignorant,
wild and poor. he has been known to
walk so miles, because he was unable to
nav his fare by rail, and swim prize
match at the end OF his walk, win' ana
come back nearly as coatless as he Weht.
Seeing he was man OF courage, energy
and capacity, the proprietor OF the Chrom-
Gle, Mr.. Cowen, gave him encouragement
and wise counsel, which Reniorth had the
sense to take. He taught himself to write,
and, though he had obtained fame by MS
nrowess. he did not know his own name
when written out He was, however, able
eventually TO write decently himself. His
strength and skill were so great that ne IL
nally beat Robert Chambers, the most ia
NOUS oarsman ever heard of, and Renforth
succeeded this celebrated champion of the
Tyne. Mr.. Cowan saw that the savage
was capable of civilization. Renforth
Joined several building societies, and in
stead of wasting his victorious gains on
the river, he accumulated house property,
like prudent hero. In character he was
utterly unlike Chambers, with whom, on
account of his prowess with the oar, he
will ALWAYS be ranked. Renforth was
buoyant, demonstrative Astounding in life.
He sang, danced and whistled as we'll as
he fought and rowed. He had sense,
strength and boundless physical capacity.
On the other hand, Chambers, who was
victorious in more that one hundred races,
and beat everybody at home and abroad.
was as reticent as Carlyle himself could
desire.

TWO MEN BURIED ALIVE IN a WELL |
FIFTY FEET DEEP.

Two MEN BURIED ALIVE IN A WE'LL
FIFTY FEET DEEP.
About halfpast six O'Clock yesterday
evening, directly after the Guginian had
gone to press, the city was thrown INTO an
intense state Of excitement by the rumor
that Three men had been buried alive IN
well which they had been digging in the up
user part of the city. Upon inquiry the re-
port proved true. 1t appears that a col
ored man named Adolphus Dorsey, had
engaged to dig well for Mrs. Meyers.
Dorsey himself started it, and, after work

depth Of about five feet, burying. them all
axcept their heads and arms. The alarm
was instantly given, and spread, like wild
fire through the city. In the meantime,
Dorsey arrived, and, without moments
hesitation decended the well by a rope, fol-
lowed by another man. He had been at
the bottom but few minutes, and was
working like hero, when the sides AGAIN

a member of the Catholic Benevolent Soci-

turned out this morning in regalia to con-

about hundred and eighty-five members,
all of whom are Catholics, and composed
principally of foreigners. The turn out
this morning was the first public one of the
society and gave evidence, by the personnel
of its members, and their neat appearance,
of prosperity and success: Smiths band
preceded the procession, playing appropri-

The Governor Pe.a.oned for the Pardon
of Thos. R. Bird, conr'cted Of Bigdmy.-
K petition, numerously signed by many Ct
the prominent citizens of Alexandria and
vicinity, was yesterday laid before the Gov
ernor, asking the pardon of Thomas r,
Bird, well known sporting gentleman Of
Washington city, who had been tried, found
guilty and sentenced to the penitentiary,
for the crime of bigamy.
We are informed number of ladies
have not only signed the petition, but that
delegation of them will probably visit the
Executive in behalf of Mr.. Bird. Should
delegation of ladies call on the Governor
for that or any other purpose, they will find
him mighty good looking fellow, but a
great humbug as politician or Republican.
In fact we have long since given him over
to his worshippers as unworthy place in
our ranks, and if we are permitted to
Judge by the action of the Convention, his
own friends are getting heartily tired ano
sick of him. We learn he has taken nc
action yet in relation to the application fol
the pardon of Bird.
