THE United States man of war, Hart
ford, has been anchored in Delaware
river at Philadelphia for some time. We
were one ofa party of Cantonians to pay
visit to this old liner, on board ofwhich
is midshipman Charles Laird a Canton
boy and son of John Laird. Midshipman
Laird did all in his power to make the
visit pleasant, and profitable in the way
of imparting information. The Hartford
is large and fine steam and sail vessel,
carrying many guns and some six hun
dred men. This monster of the deep is
not iron clad and would not amount to
much in contest with one of these i'm

Dead Body Of Henry BrOmn Found

Dead Body Of Henry Bro~n Found.
DAYTON, O., Sept 1.-The remains of
Henry NJ. Brown, the murderer of j IF,
Bolmyer, editor Of the Dayton Empire.
in 1862, were found to-day in a field of
broom corn, near the Asylum, where
they had lain exposed t1 the weather
for nearly six weeks. For the past two
or three years Brown has been much tor
mented with recollections of the murder,
so much so indeed as to unsettle his
mind. He could not sleep or rest, he had
no appetite, and Stunned by his friends,
he was virtually wanderer. Five weeks
ago last Sunday he wandered out in the
country and nothing more was seen of
him until this morning, when his bones,
except his skull, were recognized by the
clothing, and after being gathered into a
box were buried in Wood and Cemetery.
An inquest was held, but no facts as to
his death could be learned He had be-
come so weak and thin from lack of rest
and food that he was unable to get u?
without assistance, and it is therefore be-
lieved that he wandered into the field
and falling, WIS unable TO rise.
DAYTON, O., September Henry NJ
Brown, an old and we'll known citizen oi
Dayton, suddenly disappeared about five

being feeble in mind, and died from ex.
posure. The body was discovered this
morning, in corl-feld on the outskirts
of the city, but few hundred yards from
his sons re, idence. 1t was entirely de-
cayed, and horribly mutilated by dogs
the skull having been carried away. Mr.
Brown was a near relative Of old Johr
Brown, of 0ssawattomie.

carried the hat from the young lady's head to the
street; but Alex was there and wasn't going to
see that hat leave this part of the country il he
could help it, and accordingly he made spas
motto spurt jumped at the object OF his chase
reached out for it Just in time to miss it; then he
went at it more calmly and finally succeeded in
making the capture just then however, his own
hat started for Long Branch and he had another
exasperating chase before he recovered it. But
there was more trouble ahead, and just moment
after he had recovered the second hat, he reached
the climax of his sufferings when his umbrella
turned suddenly wrong side out, We are glad to
say, and we know it for fact, that he is d very
moral young man and knows the duty Of a chris
tian in such emergencies as those above related.

A well.known character of this town took in
too much to drink one day last week and then
wandered off to the woods to take Rip Van
Wrinkle sleep While he lay there in the shade of
the trees, snoring Of the fumes of poor liquor,
and probably dreaming of toads and other ugly
things, some needy tramp espied him, and in a
neat and noiseless manner stole a new pair of
shoes from his feet without having awakened
him. The tramp walks better than he did, and
probably feels that he has the cheapest pair Of
shoes he ever obtained.
