An Automatic Car-Coupler.

The new automatic Union car-couplsr is
finding much favor with railroad men. 1t is
now in use on the Eastern. This coupler is
designed to be used only on freight cars, and
its principal advantage is that it can be
operated without going between the cars,
thus preventing accident and loss of life. II
is described as follows:
In general appearance it is like the old
style, both in size and shape. But instead OF
the pin there is latch about eighteen inches
long and weighing 20 pounds. This latch is
in general form not unlike fish hook, having
the barb on the outside at the beginning of
the curve instead of at the point. This
latch is inclosed with the coupler and is at
tached by strong pin. thus serving as a
fulcrum. The cavity at the opening of the
coupler is just large enough to admit the
link. and while deep enough to keep the link
horizontal and right angle to the end of
the car. it will still admit of sufficient play to
go round the sharpest curves. The weight
of the latch is sufficient to keep it down. and
when forced upward by the link it falls back
and holds it firmly A chain attached to the
curved end of the latch extends to the top of
the car. and enables the brakeman to uncouple
the cars from the top

There is residing at North Augusta at the
present time an old gentleman named Benja-
min Newman, at the very advanced age OF
80 years. He is the oldest now living of a
family of ten children. whose longevity taken
as a whole is remarkable, and has not been
exceeded or equalled by auv on record as far
We are able to learn. We give their names and
ages rs follows: Jonathan Newman, Sc years
Sarah, G2; Thomas, 76; Robert, 81; Joseph,
81; Hannah, 70; Benjamin, 90; Geo, 80
Enoch, Sc; Eleanor, 70. Their combined
ages is sl2 years, thus giving on an average 81
years and a fraction over, which each have
survived All but Benjamin, George and
Enoch are now deceased. The two latter
reside at Gouldsborough. Mt. Desert, which
was the native place of the family. The
parents, Joseph and Charity Newman died at
the ages of 76 and so years respectively.
Benjamin, as will be seen above, has
lived q greater number of years than
either of his brothers or sisters, and
is vet hale and hearty. His memory is sur-
prisingly accute and he distinctly remembers
nearly all the events of his fourscore and
twelve years of life. He was a ifer in the
war of 1912 and spent lsrge part of the
remainder of his more active days in whal-
ing voyages. The old gentleman now lives
in peace and contentment with his son, and
says his last days are his best ones. He is a
christian. This is a striking example of the
strong constitutions, vigor and hardness of the
pioneers of Maine and their sons and daugh-
tiers. Such cases as these are rare, If ever
met with nova days. In the early days of
the State such instances were numerous.
