bNght Oku Men IN ESs0x County.
Essex county, Mass, has been noted
not only for its legal lights like Rufus
Choate, Caleb Cushing, Judge Story
and others, but also for its deputy
sheriffs, some Of whom have served
many years.
OF one of these men, Daniel Potter,
many amusing stories have been told.
At one time he entered q newspaper
Office in Salem, and addressing the only
scribe who was in sight said:
II thought would tell you that to-
morrow ! shall 60 where / never went

The scribe, knowing his caller,

Of their number in Gloucester. While
they were roaming about the house the
host called the attention Of his guests to
an old clock, 3 great favorite OF his.
He told his friends Of his great attach
ment to this ancient timepiece and grew
quite pathetic at certain points III his
remarks, which he brought to . close
BY saying In voice full Of emotion:
Gentlemen, ! have wound up that
clock every night for more than forty
years.
He had evidently made an impression
On his visitors, when one old depusy,
who had been carefully examining the
clock, turned the tide Of feeling evoked
by the story BY saying dryly:

hat into them, and make turns so short

was an old friend of mine and gave me
permission to ride over the road on the
engine of the lightning express. The
engineer did not appear to fancy ny
presence much, but treated me civi.fy.
We were behind time, the night was
black as Erebus, and terrific thunder

determined to go in on time, and the
way he rushed around those curves and
across canyons was enough to make o

Mr.. W. C. O'Bryan, Of McGregor'

fronted in the county convention with
Clark majority he introduced a reso-
luton protesting against the indorse-
ment of either candidate for governor,
upon the ground that such indorte e.
ment "would be premature and an un.
fair and unjust advantage, and an at
tempt to forestall and stife
the will of the people.
Mr., O'Bryan was perfectly
willing to "forestall and stiAe the will
of the people" when he believed it
possible to commit our county to a
candidate for governor" if that candi.
date was Hogg "for the effect it may
have over the state" In view of the
fact that McGregor Endorsed Hogg,
it is pertinent to ask If Mr.. O'Bryan
voiced the will of his constituency
when he protested against thu in.
dorsement of either candidate for
governor.
