THE JOB PRINTER.

came very near being born in Coven-
try Gore, but missed it half a mile and
first saw day light on the farm now
owned by Ames Morrill,, in Irasburgh,
in 1843, He was quite small at the
time, but has grown to the enormous
height of 5 feet 4 inches and half
and weighs 100 pounds by the steel
yards. For l6 years he worked as an
agriculturist, picking up stones and
longjohn potatoes, piling up brush in
the burnt piece, making dog-wood
whistles, trading jack-knives and go
ing to school six months in year, re
ceiving unmerciful lickings by every
''school-marm" he couldn't lick. In
1859 he entered the printing Office of
A. A. Earle, filing the position of
junior devil, where he had his ambi-
ton somewhat excited every morning
by becoming the sole occupant of a
large Office while sweeping out" and
at other times, bringing all the water
used about the office and editors
house, from Dagget's well, going a
mile rainy nights after the COW, feed
ing the pig and taking care of tame
woodchuck which the boss kept in a
dry goods box for pet, taking charge
of other like work pertaining to the
printing business, and hearing the
senior devils shoot out of their mouths
such words as ssout," 'doublet," s'pi,"
ahell-box," "bodkin," "sheep's foot"
"tympan," ''frisket," ''imposing stone"
and lots of other meaningless things.

DR.. Tanner has shown the world that
good grit and little water, with an
occasional bath will keep a man alive
forty days without food. The doctor is
said to be monomaniac on the subject

began to partake of food in quite large
quantities, which apparently did him
no harm. He has increased rapidly in
weight and strength, and will soon be

words: Consider what Lee and Jackson
would do were they alive. These are
the same principles for which they
fought for four years. Remember the

| is immediate: Consider what Lincoln
and Sumner and Wilson and Seward
would do were they alive. Consider
what the thousands who died that the
Union might live would do. Hear the
cries which come up from Andersonvill'

men Of the South who beseech you t.

In one of his lucid intervals Earle

thus speaks of his old friend Grout:
We are going to let the dead past bury
its dead and support Grout for Congress,
while at the same time we declare we do
not like Grout and do no believe he likes
us. He was nominated two years ago,
and fairly nominated, and by all rules that
govern political conventions should have
been elected, but he was defeated and we
believe from the bottom of our heart that
he would have been elected but for us
still we did not then justify the bolt. He
has again received nomination for Con-
gress, and fairly, and we are not going to
kick, however much people are disposed
to kick us.

bilious pills, compounded, as he de-
clared, according to a recipe obtained of

them. John was arrested and taken to

LATE NEWS ITEMS.

THE following particulars of the loss
Of the steamship City Of Vera Cruz are con-
densed from a statement made by sailor,
one of the survivors: On Saturday afternoon
the steamer encountered strong gale, which
soon increased I'm fury. The sea ran very
high and the Vera Cruz kabored heavily for
some time. Every effort was made to keep
her before the wind. Each succeeding wave
tore away pieces of her upper works
until her deck was finally swept clear,
and as the sea rose over her bows and del
uged her decks they soon reached the fur
nsces and extinguishsd the fires, the matches
being torn from their fastenings by the bill
lows. The fire being out soon put a stop to
the engines. and the City Of Vera Cruz lay at
the mercy Of the waves. Not even the
donkey-pump could be worked to relieve
the vessel Of the water she was rapidly
making in her hold. In this ex-
tremity Capt Van Slice ordered hi. men
to throw overheard the deck load Tho
task had been begun about midnight, but
the sea was too heavy to permit the crew
carrying out the Captains orders, for while
thus engaged several of the men were car
ried off their feet by incoming seas and
many of them were washed overheard. Capt.
Van Size and his officers acted courageously
in the performance of their several duties,
but were one by one washed over
board from their stations as the steamer
labored in the trough of the sea. As
near as 1 can ascertain, the Captain persisted
fully an hour before the vessel finally sue
cumbed, and nearly all hands were lost
the few remaining alive on board now saw
that there was no hope, SO they took the
life-prcservers, the life-boats having al
ready disappeared. Sailors and passengers
then seized fragments of the statc-room
doors or any other movable articles that
would foat, and awaited the end all knew to
be at hand. The vessel was about thirty
miles off the shore at this time, the h-lrri-
cane being one of terrible fury. BY the time
the shipwreclsed men and women had equip
ped themselves with their impromptu
buoys the final catastrophe occurred, it be-
ing then about $3.50 q. m. With one
awful and tremendous lurch the
steamer suddenly sank into the ocean,
the swirl carrying down many OF the living
OF the seventy souls on board before the
storm began only thirteen reached land alive.
Among the lost is Gen. Torbet, who was
proceeding to Mexico to look after some
mining property.
PRESIDENT HAYES and party arrived

a large crowd of spectators. The Mormon
