OLD CLARDY.
Cr Veracious Anecdotes of a Man of E’.d!
From the Chronicles of Fan Hirer.
Some thirty or forty years ago, say the 1
Chronicles of that region, there dwelt upon ,
the hanks of the river Dan, an ancient fish
erman, well known to “ those of that an
cient period,” who drew long seines, and
delighted in long yarns, as Old Clardy.
Now Clardy it must he understood was
quite a character in his way, and was much
sought after by all who enjoyed the pleas
ure of his acquaintance, on account of the
marvels he had witnessed both by flood and
field, which lie was never tired of recount
ing to his delighted auditory, and that too
with a truthfulness, and convincing sua
sion of manner, that might have caused
Munchausen himself to burst with envy.
Among the many marvelous incidents
which lie narrated, and to substantiate
which, he insisted that he had, and could
produce, the most indisputable evidence;
was the way in which he secured the lar
gest Sturgeon that ever swam the Dan,
while hauling the seine for shad. You sec,
says Clardy, we’d been making of a pret-,
ty considerable of a haul, when jest as we J
was a gitten inter shoal water, I seed the
master sturgeon ever I sot my eyes on, a ;
flopping about among the shad and green- ‘
fish. I was behind a carryin the lead line,
and I know'd if ever he once struck bot
tom he'd gel sheared, and bust right through i
the seine and make off. I war determined ]
not to lose him; an 1 thought if I could on-1
Jy creep round, and jump upon his back at j
once, I could run him ashore before the
seine got in.
Share nuff’ I creeps round, gits over the ‘
cork line, makes .1 spring, lights upon him, j
and claps both hands in his gills. Bless |
your soul! Instead of gwine the way I.
wanted him, lie busted through the seine,
and before you could say Jack Robinson,
we was bo'll high dry, on the opposite !
bank. You see men, the bank was mighty
slopin on that side, and the critter went so
fast, that when lie struck it, he slid up 1
more’ll twenty feet. : •
I’m a putty considerable of a smoket as!
you all knows, nn I ginerally speaking car-!
ries my pipe with me when I goes in a :
seining. AVell I had it in my mouth at;
that time, and the thing war done so all
fired quick, that though we was under wa- j
ter all the the time, it never put it out.
If any doubt should be expressed, as to
the truth of this wondrous narrative, the
old fellow was always ready. You don’t
believe me men, hell I Well then, jest j
look a here ! rolling up his trowsers and
exposing to view a pair of exceedingly
sore an l scaly shins. Jest loook here, if
you don’t believe me! Iloldin on ter his
gills you see, I war asettin right behind his
side fins, which the critter worked so orful
fast and strong they skinned my legs so
clean, they aint got well to this day. They
do say, that a hurt from a sturgeon fin, is
mighty hard to cine!
Clardy, it would seem, was as spirited a
fowler as he was a fisherman, but not quite ,
so successful, if we may judge by the man
ner in which the wild Geese served him.
I was ploughing one day, says he, down
in the river bottom, close to the bank ; jest
forenent the falls, when herin a mighty i
quackin, squatterin, I creeped down ter the j
fence, an seed the prettiest batch of wild
geese, that ever fluttered in Dan, or Roan
oke either.
They was a dippin, an a divin in the j
shoal water, and lookin so perte, an so
clean, an so nice, that 1 thought I must
have some of urn anyhow. Well, 1 hadn’t
no gun, no powder and shot, no ramrot, ;
no nothin, cept my plough line, an I deter-.
mined at last I’d try an see what 1 could j
do with that. I’d been used to carryin the ,
lead line of the seine you see men, an was
a putty good diver; so l tuk my plough
line off'my mule, an drappin down the liv
er some 40 or 50 yards, with the plough
line in my hand, I swum under water up j
ter the geese, an commenced tying um by
the kgs one arter the other. When I’d got!
sumpin like 30 fastened, 1 ris my head a
bove the water to fetch breth, and by 1
George, away they went. The Lord!—j
Want lin a fix then ? At fust I thought
they could’t play that game long, but they
flow'd, and they flew'd, an they flew’d, till
it sorter struck me, may-he they mout tote
me clur out inter Chcspeke Bay; wherin I
cut loose and let go; and when I found
myself, I was curchug neck an heels in a
holler gum, right on top ot a bar's nest, a
r-ettin on the cubs. An there I was! An
theft I sot for gracious knows how long ;
but 1 thot it war a week, when all at once
a big black cloud seemed to darken the
hole at the top, and presently I felt sum
thing hary bout my face. I felt about a
spell with my teeth, when whew! a thing
jest like a big paint brush jammed itself in
ter my mouth, an may-be I didn’t clamp it.
Bless your souls ! [that was a mighty word
with Clardy.] twar the Old Bar’s tail!
The ole critter riz, and went off squeal
ing an a clawin, an I went with ! er ahol
din on like grim delh, twell vve both hit the
ground. Which war the wust skeered, the
bar or me.-1 never inquired; llftt the ole
thing pulled foot won way, while the way
Clardy claw’d >1 for up stream, war a can
tion to quarter horses. It war a good long j
tramp back home, but when I got there. I
found that the mule had ploughed the patch
by herself, jest as well as if I’d a been a
long. Every thing war gwine on strate ::
so that arter all my fly with the geese, and
playin ole hen to a pa*sel of cubs, thar 1
war no damage done, onless that Bar inout |
a complained some bout her hinder ccnd.
WHAT I LOVES.
1 loves to talk with laughing girl?,
I loves the smiles of widows,
I loves the croaking of green frogs
Among the marsh y meadows.
But Oh ! I loves them critters list
Divided in the middle—
When their hind parts are nicely cooked
In luttcr on the griddle.
Well I does.
I loves the lily aud the rose,
The laurel and the myrtle ;
But O ! I better loves by far
A whopping log mud turtle.
I loves ’em when 1 notions take,
To live on fancy wittlcs;
O, how I’d love one big enough
To fill a dozen k< tiles.
Well I would.

FEMALE PRINTERS.
The late Printers’ Festival, at Rochester. |
N. Y., called out some curious facts j
respecting fepnale effort in our country.
We did not know, and we suspect few ,
people did, that there have been seven-1
teen female printers among us, not mere !
editors, but practical printers, since 17-
32. Here follows a list, which is gath
i cred from the Massachusetts Antiquarian ]
Library, at Worcester, by Mr. J. Snow.
It is from a letter addressed to the Man
agers of the Festival:
| Anne Franklin. —The first paper printed ,
| in Rhode Island, was at Newport, in 1732. j
j James Franklin, a brother to the Doctor, I
was publisher. lie died soon after, and;
his widow continued the business several ;
1 years. She was printer to the colony, sup
’ plied blanks to the public offices, published
| pamphlets. &c. The Newport Mercury, j
I which is now regularly issued, was given j
! out of this printing office in 1756, and is
; the oldest paper in the country. In 1745,
Mrs. F. printed for the government an e
■ dition of the laws, containing 340 folio pa
ges. She was aided in her office by her
two daughters. They were correct and
quick compositors, and very sensible wo- i
men. A servant of the house usually j
worked at press. Gregory Dexter, an ear-;
ly setllcr of Providence, usually worked |
for her when she had a large job or an al- J
manac to get out. It seems printing with j
type was not her only business. Read her j
advertisement:
“The printer hereof, prints linens, cali- j
coes, silks, &c., in figures, very lively and ! (
durable colors, and without the oflensive r
smell which commonly attends linen print- 1
ed here.”
Mrs. Sarah Goddard was also a printer 1
at Newport, in 1776. She was born in :
Rhode Island, and widow of Giles Goddard •
a printer of New London. She received a i
good education, and was well acquainted i
with many branches of literature. She ;
had the management of a newspaper, and
conducted it with much ability for two <
years, when John Carter associated with ‘
her, under the firm of Sarah Goddard & Cos. I ‘
Mrs. Margaret Draper was the widow i
of Richard Draper. She published the
Massachusetts Gazette and the Boston 1
News Letter after his death. It was the |
first paper established in North America.
All the newspapers excepting hers, ceased
to be published when Boston was besieged
by the English. She left Bostou with the 1
British army and went to England, where
a pension was settled oil her by the gov
ernment, for life.
Mrs. Cornelia Bradford was the widow
of Andrew Bradford, who died in Philadel
phia, tn 1742. She continued the printing
business for a number of years, and retir-;
ed with a sufficiency of “ worldly lucre.”
In the same city, Mrs. Jane Aitkin, at 1
the death of her father, in 1802, continued j ;
the business. Her reputation was high,
from the productions which issued from
her press. She was also noted for her j
correctness in proof-reading.
Mrs. Zenger, the widow of John P. Zen-!
; ger, who published the second newspaper!
! established in New York, carried on the |
’ business for years after his death. She j
was a modest and moderate woman; the
j exact reverse or her husband, who manag
ed to have as many libel suits on hand, as
a certain literary character of our time.—
i The consequence was, Zenger got into full j
j intimacy with the prisons, for giving pub- ,
’ lie utterance to his liberal views. Mrs. Z.;
1 conducted the “ Neu> York Weekly Jour-’
aol,” with ability for three years, until
1748.
Mrs. Mary Holt, widow of John Holt, |
and publisher of the “ Neic York Journal,
in 1793, was appointed printer to this
j State. The paper did powerful service
during the revolution.
Anne Katharine Greene was born in
Holland. In 1767 she succeeded her bus- 1
band in publishing the Maryland Gazette,!
i the first paper printed in that Slate. She j
j executed the Colony printing, and continu- i
ed the business to her death, in 1775.
Mrs. llassebotch.—The first printer in
Baltimore was Nicholas llassebotch. He
was succeeded by his widow. In 1773 a
missionary bad a Bible in bis hand ex
plaining it to a party of Indians. He pro
nounced it to be the Gospel —the truth— ;
the word of God.” “VY hat,” said one of,
| them, “ did the Great, All-powerful make |
I this book ?” “ Y’es,” replied the mission-’
ary. “it is his work.” The Indian taking
the literal import of the words, answered
indignantly, “ I believe it to be a great lie.
1 go to Baltimore last month, when I see
• Dutch women make him. The great Spir
it want no more Dutchman to help him*’
Mrs. Mary Catherine Goddard, was sis”
an §it sat® wiasi.l ©tainio
ter to IVm. Goddard of Rhode Island, w ho
(established the Maryland Journal. Com
i ing from a Slate where free toleration was
! allowed, he was apt to write rather harsh
i ly. He was seven limes mobbed and had
i finally to qnit the State, and return to
Providence. His sister Mary conducted
; the paper for eight years, and acted as
i Postmaster until 1784.
Mrs. Hannah Boyle published a paper
■at Williamsburg, Ya ,in 1774. It favored
; the Crown and lived but a short time.
Clementine Bird succeeded her husband
iin llie YhrginiaGazette, in 1773. Thomas
Jefferson was a contributor. She died in
i 1774.
Mrs. Elizabeth Timothee, after the death
of her husband, in 1773, continued pttb
, lishing the Gazette in Charleston, S. C.—
j She conducted the press two years, when
her son took it.
Anne Timothee, the widow of the son
: of Elizabeth just mentioned, after theßev
i olutionary war ceased, revived the Gazette,
1 which had been established by the elder
l Timothee. It had been discontinued while
the troops were in possession of Charles
ton, She was appointed printer to the
State, and held the office until 1792.
Mary Crouch was the widow ofChar.es
j Crouch, and born in Rhode Island. Her
husband established a paper in opposition
to the Stamp Act, in Charleston, S. C.—
; Mrs. C. continued the paper until 1780,
when she removed to Salem, Mass., and
j took her press and type with her. She
5 published a paper at Salem for some years,
j and returned to Providence, with a purse
! sufficient for “creature comforts” during
i her life.
Penelope Russel succeeded her husband
! in printing tile “ Censor ” at Boston, in 17-
71, She not only set type, hut while at
i her case, invoked her muse, and put up
j type on tragical events, in an interesting
! manner, without any written copy.
In Connecticut. Mrs. Watson, the widow
I of Ebenezer Watson, who died in 1777,
: continued one of the publishers oftheCou
rant at Hartford for two years. The Cou
; rant is still published.
There arc other female printers of the
last century but I have wearied your pa
tience.
Permit me to remind you while drink
ing to the memory of the Father of the Fra
ternity in this country, togive the Mothers
of the Art an extra bumper. Respectfully i
yours, J. Sxow.”-
ffeiT” A gentleman putting his arm about a j
young lady’s neck the other day, and dis
arranging her frills, was tartly informed
that she considered it rather ruff treatment.
SHOE BUSINESS IN LYNN.
The shoe business is the life of Lynn.
Only women’s misses’ and children’s shoes
are made here. Engaged in this business
there are of manufacturers, or men who
1 carry on’ the business, 78 ; of cutters or
men who ‘cut out’ the shoes, 175; of men
and boys so employed in making shoes 2,
458; of men and boys so employed but liv
ing out of town, 900 ; of women and girls
employed in binding shoes, 4,925 ; of the !
same so employed and living cut of town, j
1,600; making of employees an aggregate
of 10,058. The number of men and boys
employed in making shoes is more than
seventy per cent. Larger now than it was !
in 1842. The increase of the number of i
women and girls employed in binding shoes
has, we presume, been correspondingly |
great. But it should be stated that the j
shoe business in 1842 was unusually de- !
pressed ; that much less of it was done du- j
ring the last than will probably be done !
during the present year. The number of |
pairs of shoes made during the last year !
was 3,190,000; the number purchased from J
other towns was 350,000; making in all)
3,540,000 pairs. The cost of the material ,
of these was $1,435,545; that of making 1
them $957,030, ; making the cost of the 3, j
540,000 pairs of shoes to have beens 2,392
575. The cost of making shoes now is a
bout one-sixth less than it was a dozen
years ago.— Literary American.
LONDON DRESS MAKERS.
There are about 15,000 milliners and
dress makers in London. They commence
work usually at from 14 to 16—that is to
say, at an age when their future health and
constitution arc determined by the care
they then receive. Avery large portion
of these girls are boarded and lodged by
their employers, anil they often, come from
the country healthy and strong. During the
‘ busy season—i e. from April to August,
j and from October to Christmas—the regu
| lar hours of work “at all the principal
1 houses” are, on the average, eighteen hours
: daily.
A great number of these girls become a
; bandoned, being driven to prostitute virtue
to be relieved from drudgery. How much
guilt belongs to the rich votaries of fashion,
the judgement day will reveal in terrible
distinctness.— Scientific American.
; A NORTH CAROLINA FACTORY.
At Salisbury, N. C., there is the Rowan
| Factoiy which has 3000 spindles and 70
looms in constant operation ; and the num
ber of hands employed, male and female,
is 120. The machinery is propelled by an
engine of fifty horse power, which con
sumes from five to six loads of wood per
1 day. Not less than 60 barrels of flour are
used in starch, and 1000 bales of cotton are
! used up in a year.
The cloth, which weighs three yards to
the pound, and appears to he of an excellent
quality, is made of No. 14 and 15 yarn ; it
is called 4-4 sheetings. Besides supplying
the home demand, there were shipped in
five months, to the Northern market, 249,
000 yards of cloth, and 6400 pounds of
hafts.
A spinning frame in this factory, made
by the Mattewan Company of New York,
produces nine skeins per spindle per day.
Asbestos. —Pliny mentions having seen
napkins of cloth made of asbestos; which
being taken from the table after a feast,
were thrown into the fire, and by that
inrans were better cleansed than if the}
had been washed in water; but its princi
pal use ,vas, according to that author, for
making the shrouds for the royal funerals,
,to wrap up the corpse, so that the human
ashes might be preserved distinct from the
’ wood. —Scientific American.

THE UNWARY FISHER.
I have often been struck with the singu- i
lar attachment hunters sometimes have for
; some bird or animal, while all the rest of
the species they pursue with deadly hostil
i By
j About five hundred yards from Beach's
■ hut, stands a lofty pine tree, on which a
grey eagle built its nestannually during the
nine years he had lived on the shores of
the Raqette. The Indian who dwelt there
before him, says that the same pair of
I birds made their nest on that tree for ten
i years previous—making in all, nineteen
years they have occupied the same
spot, and built on the same branch. It is
I passible, however, that the young may
: have taken the place of their parents. At ;
all events. Beach believes them to be the
1 same old dwellers, and hence regards them ‘
jas squatters like himself, and entitled to;
equal privileges. From his cabin door he i
can see.them in sunshine and storm —qui-
j etly perched on the tall pine, or wildly cra
i died as the rr.ighty fabric bends and sways
to the blast. He has become attached to
them, ami hence requests every one who !
| visits him not to touch them. I verily be
! lieve he would like to shoot the man
j who should harm one of their feathers. —
, They are his companions in that solitude—
; proud occupants of the same wild home,
and hence bound together by a link it
would be hard to define, and } et which is
strong as steel. If that pine should fall,
and those eagles move away to some other
■ lake, he would feel as if he had lost a
friend, and the solitude become doubly
lonely.
Thus it is—you cannot by any education
or experience drive all the poetry out of a
man—it lingers there still, and blazes up
unexpectedly—revealing the human heart,
with all the sympathies, attachments, and 1
tenderness that belong to it.
He, however, one day came near losing
! his bold eagle. He was lying at anchor,
i fishing, when he saw his favorite bird high
up in heaven, slowly sweeping round and
round in a huge circle, evidently awaiting
! the approach of a fish to the surface. For
]an hour or more, he thus sailed with mo
i tionless wings above the water, when all
at once he stopped and hovered a moment,
[ with an excited gesture—then rapid as a
flash of light, and with a rush of his broad
pinions, like the passage of a sudden gust
of wind, come to the still bosom of the
lake. He had seen a huge salmon trout
swimming near the surface—and plunging
from his high watch-tower, drove his tal- j
ons deep in his victim’s back. So rapid j
and strong was his swoop that he buried
himself out of sight when he struck, but j
the next moment he emerged into view, |
i and flapping his wings, endeavored to rise j
with his prey. But this time he had mis- j
calculated his strength—in vain he strug j
gled nobly to lift the salmon from the wa
ter. The frightened and bleeding fish j
made a sudden dive, and took eagle and all j
out of sight, and was gone a quarter of a
minute. Again they arose to the surface,
and the strong bird spread his broad, drip- I
ping pinions and gathering force with his
rapid blows, raised the salmon half out
of water. The weight however, was too
; gieat for him, and he sank again to the sur
j face, beating the water into foam about
: him. The salmon then made another j
; drive, and they both went under, leaving
only a few bubbles to tell where they had j
I gone down. This time they were absent a |
full half minute, and Beach said he thought j
it was all over with his bird. He soon,
however, reappeared with his talons still
buried in the flesh of his foe, and again
made a desperate effort to rise. All this
time the fish was shooting like an arrow
through the lake, carrying his relentless
foe on his back. He could not keep the
j eagle down, nor the bird carry him up—
-1 and so now beneath, and now upon the sur
face, they struggled on, presenting one of
1 the most singular yet exciting spectacles
j that can be imagined. It was fearful to
witness the blows of the eagle as he lash
; ed the lake with his wings into spray, and
made the shores echo with the report. At
1 ist, the bird thinking, as they say West, he
had 1 waked tip the wrong passenger,’ gave
it up; and loosening his clutch, soared
’ heavily and slowly away to his lofty pine
tree, where he sat for a long time sullen
and sulky—the picture of disappointed am
bition. So might a wounded and baffled
lion lie down in his lair and brood over
his defeat. Beach said that he could easi
ly have captured them, but he thought he
would see the fight out. When, however,
they both staid underahalf minute or more
he concluded he should never see his eagle
again. Whether the latter in his rage was
bent on rapturing his prize, and would re
, tain his hold though at the hazard of hie
life, or whether in his terrible swoop he
had stuck his crooked talons so deep in
the hack of the salmon, he could not ex
tricate himself, the hunter said he could not I
tell. The latter, however, was doubtless !
the truth, and he would have been glad to ‘
have let go, long before he did. The old j
fellow probably spent the afternoon in stud
ying avoirdupois weight, and ever after i
tried his tackle on smaller fish, As for the ;
poor salmon, if he survived the severe lac
eration, he doubtless never fully under- j
stood the operatic n he had gone through.—

OUR COURIER.
“We found a veteran in the business,
with recommendations as long as a bill in
Chancery, awaiting us at Mcurice’s. His
bodily presence was not enticing; he might
have been called bullet-headed, if a very
small pug-nose had not broken the globu
lar outline; and his figure was in close
conformity to this crowning roundness. He I
had his good qualities, and would proba- |
bly rank as high in point of honesty as
most of his tribe. A man who receives a ‘
percentage from everybody that his employ
: er deals with, from the hotel-keeper down !
|to the coral merchant or the cicerone, is j
I not likely to be the most scrupulous ordis
’ interested of advisers; but we never sus
-1 peeled or had reason to suspect our Pali
! nurus of any extra-professional taste for
■ peculation. My dislike is to the class,
! rather than to any particular specimen of
| it. My objections relate principally to the
disgustingness of such a presence at a time
! when one would possess one's soul; the
perpetual vicinity of a vulgar mind when
the very zest of the moment lies in forget
ting all vulgar things ; the ceaseless itera
tion of threadbare commonplaces, while the
best powers of memory are tasked to call
up its most precious hoardings. At first
| the intrusive gabble was the great annoy*
; ance; but the time came when the mere
! sight of that intensely meaningless face
seemed always to •find a bare nerve; and
: in the very Vatican I was more sensible of
| his presence than of that of the Apollo, on
; which he stood commenting in a way that
! made one feel wicked. I appeal to any
| reasonable soul for sympathy under such
]an annoyance as this, ‘Ver fine ting dat!
Trcsbien! ah! ver fine ting! Two tou*
sand year old ! Dieu ! qu’il fait chaml’and
so on and on and on—continual drop- i
ping.”— Mrs. Kirkland's Travels.
INTERIOR OF A RHINE STEAM
BOAT.
“Within, the prospect was not much
more lively. A German with a long yel
low beard, and a moustache that fell over
his mouth nearly to the chin, established j
his hands in his pockets and his back a- j
gainst the wall, and slept bolt upright for
hours without stirring. In one corner of
the cabin was a young couple who neither
saw nor heard anything or anybody but
themselves, and between whom it would
have been difficult to pass anything thick- j
er than an ivory folder at any time during
the morning. Then there were children,
but not very interesting or amusing ones,
and an old bluff officer, their uncle, who
delighted to play tricks on them which ir- j
ritated and worried them. One man on
board was at least six feet six inches in
height, and proportionately strut; and he
thought proper to walk the deck incessant
ly, followed almost step for step by a large j
dog, who only wanted a pipe to made a j
complete caricature of his master.” —Ibid. j
