William Garrison. Sr. • A»lliruUlb>flt leatolepa ol the drpert. cd, echo down ibc corridors of lime, we Icudcrlv gather the principal points of Uiek-Hwn ami pieann ilium Hrotir rtadera. In our gull, ry wo have had minUlers. lawyers, physicians, aoldisn, Arc., but the port rail of Ibis week William Garrison, Sr.. is that of , ne ol tlape -May Coiiniy's most etllcicnt and aucceasfill Rhlp-biliiilers. lie followed in tlic footstep, or his father who hull! ships in i I liia this I'ounly many ycara ago. ITe was bom at Uoain n, .August 8Ih, 1TDS, and wat a member of a family of twelve brothers and sisters, and Hie son of Jacob Garrison, who removed to Indiana IBIS ami took all Ida children but and Martha. These two children remained in Ca|ie May County, the latter at Townsend's Inlet, of whose descendants are Henry Swain, Zebulon Swain. Mrs. lienjamin Half, Rhoda Swain and others. William Garrison had five children, 1 Deborah, Milliccnt, Mary, Elitabelb and William, the last three of which arc liv. 1 ing. In looking into the long life of 1 Mr. Garrison, of over ninety "years we ! find him not a selfish being for he was 1 Messing* wherever he went His home : was always home for God's mcsscn- ' gers. and many Were tlic number who ! availed themselves of his ImspiM.ity and I goodness of heart. As a member of the j Iier pastors and all her benevolent inter- ' est". ! Ibt h»t visit to the Goshen church 1 w.i5 at the re-dedicatory tervlee* after 1 its rebuilding, aud his cagcrnesa to help ' erase the debt was mark' d. While engaged in the active duties ot 1 and when largely. immersed in busi. 1 ncss. he over sought' to encourage and assist others In their legitimate efforts to ' procure an honest livlihood. I!y close 1 application to business he was enabled 1 to secure a competency that placed him 1 and Ills family beyond the want of any 1 earthly blessings, and there 1 "are manyTSdav whoTrKiiKa^llly HthT 1 atod that arc largely indebted to the 1 benevolence of hi, heart for many of the blessings they now enjoy. He was : married to Miss IVborah Hand of Dias i Creek, September 28, 1816, by the Rev. 1 John Townsoml. Wo are not able to 1 give the exact number ot vcsstls built 1 Mr. Garrison. They may be forty or There are some people living who remember lha familiar names of 1 vessels, Wnu I'. Corbitt, H. H. Bnscom, Samuel Towniend, Reuben Tomlin. Eli. Townsawl. New Jersey, Ac. . Oae ol Uio vessels built by Mr. Garrison was named Mary and Elizabeth. Not long after this, while under the command of Capt. , Reuben Tomlin. she started from 8a!ctn i for Goshen, with a ctrgo of sheep, and by some mismanagement the veisei cap. . sized and tjie precious cargo went Qvtr. i board. It is said that "shecps head" i were very plentiful in the Bay for a long Mr. Garrison used to relate the following amusing incident of the Revblu- | tion, touching the bravery of the Home GtMMs. While the British were in the Delaware bay with their ships, and frequent land expeditions were made to our shores for the purpose of stealing cattle, ' sheep, Ac.; the male inhabitants st dlf. i fcrent points along tbe Capo ahore I formed military squads for the protection of their movables from these depra- | dationa. While one of these squad, were on duty (at night of course) filing of guns In the meadows toward the bayby some men who were muakraiting war beard and thinking the English were after them, they (the military squad) made tracks for the nearest house and crawled i underneath a 'bed to hide themselves, but were so badly frtglitcned that they - only got part way under, their boots (projecting outside frvm a common center all around. Like the ostrich, they thoughtdf their heads were out of sight - Sh«y were safe. Thta is a little hard on the home guards, but the truths of history must b< told as they arc, without any YanishlUf Mr. Garrison was an""old and an II ardent admirer of Henry Clay. _ though he could never be Induced tr. take any pert In politics. During the great Rebellion he was loyal to the core, and gave liberally of his means toward" Its scncoesful prosecution. In th. balmy days of our coasting .trade pjiei J* there were fortunes "YnHite in the veew I D business, many Cape May men of a gen „ eratkra rapidly disappearing, owe to Mr ™ Garrison, the fact that tiicy were. helped at into the commsad of veaaels carrying J from one to two hundred tons, qtrib- ® large erafu for those days. Then when ra the winds blew from the east Goshen [J core was the harbor for an immense A fleet of coasting crafts. They wottld \l lay there sometime* till tbe locker was id pretty, well emptied of see stores, .and JJ the disheartened captain would hare to «■ go cm ahore and recruit up. A northsi east storm used to frighten those former 5g roasting captains, ami they would not ] move from their safe anchorages till the ts. I winds blew softly from the westward. Hj I and (hen the handspike would come I ORI at|d a rush be pad" {or tboUapea

add Hie seacbasL It was not an unlars per ton th™. and II a trip was ma.te in Amonth or «!x Weeks to B wton there was money' in tjie voyage. Now the captain who w.ujld venture into Goshen cove for a harbor, or to *'- it utj, home .. must be a boW one. or own enough of hit vessel to constitute himself the ship's "husband." Cape May-was more of a maritime community then than now. j Her sons had nothing else to attract ! them lmt coasting, and It was difficult ! to find a family hut that b id some one ! : of Its members engaged in'the business, i r- Mr. Garrison held ait" intimate relation | during all his active business life with this part of the community, and was - evrr rtie rsa'. friend ST those wlr. were engaged In the business. liter in his life hit powers of activity gave wny and lie and bis estimable wife lived at Goshen toa remarkable age. loved and respected by the entire county, for they were well .

Collisions will and must remain the great and really almost the one danger which the North Atlantic traveller need fear. He can barely hope to cross in the run Of some hundreds of miles through fog. especially on leaving or approach, our coast. So long a* 'the Gulf Stream north move on Juxtaporition as they do. »o long will t!.e fug be almost always present upon' the border-laad dividing them. ^How' easy it M r a pri st ship to irrgou. -V blow from a pygmy aahoonar , ery, is lying in a few hours upon the , of skilled labor, as represented by ship and cargo, iu this moment made valuelesa. Who can "overestimate the care and responsibility "upon the man who commands such a ship? In what other calling are they found as such a constant part of flally life ? "Ami Hut* rilly they are paid for it f The only remedy for such an act Idem i as that which befell tho unlucky Oregon i seems to be a subdivision to a greater , t'd in a merchant ship: and that this will come in a degree which will make the • finer rnsscngcg ships practically ttndnk- . able, unless under most exceptional cir- ; eumstanrcs. would seem quite sure.— Srrlbnrr't Mngminc for Slay. A Rua'ston Story. I Society at SL I'cteraburg is ju« now . much occupied with the revival of a very curious story. About three years , ago there was a. spiritualistic seance nt I the Officers' club in that city, at which . the spirit of a famous departed general was railed up. aittl prt^ihpdcd among . other things that there wnuAl be a great war in 18««. in which RuaaU would Ink. the leading part. As the ghost of the deceased warrior mentlonetl among the names of officer* who would greatly dit- . tinguish themselves in the war thooe of . some men who did not even figure In the army list, the affair waaTookcl upon r as ajokr ami nothing more was thought of it. BuL by a strange coincidence, among recent appointments to the rank, 'f nf commissioned officer* the very name* r appear which the spirit had foretold. th« boarez* being men ol oo family, who f have risen from the ranks. As there I, no country in the world where supcrstl £ Hon Is rnrriod to such an extent si le f Russia, tbe Incident has caused quite s sensation. '' Northwoatern Simplicity.

May * . Century Magazine we quote: "The , men, fighting and climbing up the steep b , Itill, sought the roads, ravines, and less > rugged parts. Tho ground was so r . broken that it was impossible to keep a " > regular line of battle. At times their > movements were in shape like the flight ( r of migratory birds,— sometimes in line, 1 t sometimes in mass, mostly in V-shaped enemy. At these points regimental Hags ' i were flying' sometimes drooping as Hie , lu arers were shot, but never reaching " r tlic ground, for ever brave hands were * . there to seize litem. Sixty flags were I advancing up-.the hill. In the faces of its '' . ilefrnders. Bragg was hurrying large ' bodies of men from Hi* right to the center. They could be seen coming along the summit of the ridge in double-quick c time. Cheatham's division was being 1' withdrawn from Sherman's front. Bragg " and Hardee were at; the center, doing ™ : their utmost to encourage their troops. r , and urgiDg them to stand Arm and drive " . back (lie advancing enemy, now so near " t he summit— indeed, so near that the 1 , gtms, which eould not be sufficiently cie- ' 1 pressed, to reach them, became useless '' . Artillerymen were lighting the fuses ol 1 I shells, and bowling them by hundred* ; ,. tlown the hill. The critical moment >r ' p rived when the summit was just within ' P reach. At six different points, and ai . most simultaneously.
