MIR. Samuel Stock ton of this city,
while assisting to get out Mr.. Geo. Harris

dash board and his wind was suddenly

We were pleased to have a call on
Christmas from b. B. Blackwell, of New
York, former resident of this city, who
established the 4" Lambertgale Press .
here about 1859, and published it for two
or three years, in the building now .occu-
pied by THE RECORD office. 1t was dis
continued the second year of the war;
Mr. Blackwell is still engaged in print
ing, having job Office at 81 Gold street,
He is the same " Bond I" that lie was in
former years, full of energy, ideas and
hopefulness. He has invented enough
improvements in printing tools to have
made him rich, but unfortunately others
have reaped where he has sown. Yet his
friends will be glad to know that he is
getting along nicely, and is enjoying
himself.
