colored man, probably the las. survivor Of
the revolutionary war:
Seeing an extract from the Newport

Aunt Hannah" colored. who was l22 years
old, has induced NE TO write you the fol
lowing:
On the farm of DR.. Scott, on the head
waters Of Forkydeer river, near Milan,
Gibson county, Tennessee, there lives an
old negro named Fortune Snow, who is
in his one hundred and twenty fourth year!
10 June, 1877, l went to see him; and l will
tell you what saw when got to the house.
! met an old snaggled tooth amendment
gentleman sixty-tive years old. who told me
his 'grandpap' was in the house, who soon
came tripping down the steps as nimble as
some fifteen year old boy. He told me he
was twenty-five years old when the revolu-
tionary war began. He belonged to Cap
tain Snow, who served. during the war,
| under General Marion: was born in South
Carolina: fought through the war under
his master in nearly every battle. Yet he
never has received pension from the ''best
government the world ever saw
He said when ne was about ninety years
| old lie. went totally blind and remained SO
two years. His hair all came out, which
was as white as wool. Subsequently his eye
sight returned, and new growth of hair
came out. which is now about nalf gray.
Enjoys fine health. On examination with
the ofhh0tmoScope and otOscopc, found his
sight and hearing to be good He opened
his Bible at the eighth chapter of Revala-
tons. and read the chapter distinctly with
out glasses. Goes hunting, and shoots birds
and squirrels without glasses. Is very reli.

the father of thirteen children, the Oldest
of whom would be over 100 years, if living

tfty-three years old.
Old Fortune says he was never sick in his
life, and never took dose of medicine from
a dOctor-never has the tcothache-not an
unsound tooth in his mOuth-nOr any other
kind.
He moved from South Carolina to Alaba.

The trustees Of this institution have ad.
dressed a circular to the police luries.
municipal authorities and friends of the
deaf and dumb in Louisiana as follows:
The trustees OF the Louisiana institution
for the education of the deaf and dumb
call your attention to this unfortunate class,
and the provision made for them by the
State in this institution. All the deaf be-
tween the ages of eight and twenty-five, of
sound physical and mental constitutions,
will be admitted and provided with instruc-
tion, board, lodging, medicine and medical
attendance at the expense of the institu-
ton: and all those in such INDECENT circum-
stances as shall appear by certificate Of
any member of the police jury OF the parish,
or mayor of the city where they reside. to
render such aid necessary. will also be fur.
nished With clothing and travelling expenses
to the institution. The institution also
affords mechanical department in
which instruction is given in such trades as
may be best suited to render the pupils
self sustaining citizens. The education OF
the deaf is Of peculiar importance 10 them
and to the State; but from want of intor-
nation. indulgence or other reasons on the
part of parents, less than half in the State
avail themselves of the privileges afforded.
This is all wrong; hence the trustees call
the attention of all proper authorities to
the duty of seeing that all the deaf in their
respective parishes or cities are informed of
the privileges provided, and that in cases
of INDECENT circumstances means be pro-
vided for conveying such to this institution.
Proper provision will be made for both
white aud cOlored.
In,case of any deaf known at this institu-
ton to be in your city or parish, the names
are appended to this letter. Should you
know or learn Of others, their address is
earnestly desired.

TROUBLE WITH TIE FIREMES.-lt is well
known that Fire Company No. % is an in
dependent company and has no connection
with the Firemen's Charitable Association.
But no one thought, when the company
was organized, that it would come into col.
ilson with the association. II was objected
to No IS that its operations at fires were
only dilatory, and perhaps some hard feel
ings were engendered. At any rate, they
fell under the displeasure of Chief O'Con-
nor at the Marigny street fire. Now, Tom
isn't man TO be trited with, and when he
found that hand engine in the way he got
II out of the way by causing the arrest OF
Messrs. F.. Schwartz and John Aglee, mem
bers Of No. %.
Proceeding in regular course, Chief @ Con-
nor made an affidavit against them for in
terfering with him in the discharge of his
duty, ard violating the city ordinance.
The members of the company did not pro-
pose to wait till the day of trial, but struck
the first thing for the Superior District
Court, where they entered sui. against the
i'iremen's Charitable Association.
