PIT. Barnum in'Jail.

P. T. Barnum, the proprietor of the great
est show on earth, was, in 1882, editor Of
the village newspaper here, the Herald oil
Freedom and Truth.
: Unlike most other editors of his day, Mr..
Barnum dared to speak the truth, and upon
several occasions was SO outspoken, fearless
and irrepressible that he found himself IN
hotswater. He was sued for libel num-
Der OF times, paid his fines and continued
his truth-telling.
The special matter which forms the sub
iect OF this sketch was an alleged ilbei on
one Deacon Seth Seeley, of Bethel, father
of Professor Seeley, president OF Andover
college,
to him in the columns of the Herald, the
descon caused the arrest of Editor Barnum,
and the case was brought before Judge Da.
vid Daggett, afterward chief Justice of the
supreme court of Connecticut and, al
though Mr.. Baruum produced evidence to
show that the statements In the alleged
libel we're true, 1t was ruled hat the great
er the truth the greater the libel" and he
was found guilty by the jury, and, contra
ry to all expectation, sentenced by the
Judge to fine of 500 and sixty days in
jail, both of which he paid in due form.
Mr.. Barnum was then, as now, universal
ist, and members of that denomination be-
ing heretics we're not allowed to testify in
any court of justice.
The incarceration Of Mr.. Barnum caused
great indignation and strong revulsion
in his favor. He continued to edit his pa
per from the prison, and at the expiration
of his term of imprisonment he received an
ovation which showed that he had vast
number of friends in the community who
were not at all in sympathy with TIE action
OF the court
MIR. Barnum handed the writer this
morning pamphlet, the title page OF which
explains itself. and is as follows:
