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.

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. ■s* aIS Hall s&&&¥* 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.— Headley's Adirondack. 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 3UfOfrttotmerrto.
