Viewed casually, Gard ner gavo no evidence of unusual pow er] but when stripped his muscular development was tremendous, and it is Infermefl \ th^t?on&" Tf tho ordiu BCpat 'stood five feet ten and a half inches, etect and full chested, and never ex ceeded one hundred aud ninety pounds in weight. The late Charles Long informed 113 thut at one time he saw Gardner lift from a towbont a puncheon of corn, containing at least twelve bushels, an<j, swinging around, deposit it on '.he sand. %n*: so; flo5ngj( he toja.th<? sole off his bdtof. Qri i^no|her ^ocafcignj a nunuLerofmen were trying to lift a stiok of timber. In all the whole crowd only one man could raise it about two inches from the skids. Gardner told four men to sit on it aud then lifted it so high that the men jumped off to save themselves from the fail B?r. McKcan has/requently known him in lifting to break boom poles six inches thick. He has known .Him also with one hand to lift, by the rung of a chair, the chair itself and a man weighing nearly two hundred pounds. On^e when attempting to lift a very |ieaW man he wrenched the rung en tirety from the chair. Gardner was at one time possessed oft a balky horse with which he exer cised great ?patiemjo;. but'^he|ir.pati ence ceased ! to be!aj virtue |he^pul<d fell him to'tbo ground with his clench ed fist, striking hira behind the ear. It is related of Gardner's sister that on one occasion a famous wrestler travel ed all the way from Miramichi to Tom's home iu order to "try a fall witlj liim.fWT lorn Was fcbsotit, but'tl'.e' sister looking contemptuously upon the intruder, declared she would throw him herself, and, suiting the action to the, word, iu a fair trial threw him fairly three times in succession. Tke strapger's experience with the sister was1 sufficient: be never sought a fu ture'interview with the brother. The greatest feat which Gardner was .ever known to perform was on one of tips wharves iu Su John. Mr. Me Keap saw him lift and carry an anchor weighing 1,200 pounds, numbers of other witnesses standing by, some of whom are yet alive. Frequently he has seen him carrying a barrel of pork Under each arm, and <>;iec,he saw him shoulder a barj&v&Kurk i*billMnd-( iug j iu an ordinary brandy box. When about forty }Tears of age Gard ner removed tethe ?nited States; a^d1 never returned to his native province. It'is commonly reported andbcljiev-, ed that he met with a sad adventure on board ' a Mississippi steamer/ j A heavy bell was on board as a portion of the freight, and the captain, a great, poworful fellow, was concerned as to how he should remove it from its place in order to make more room on deck. While captain nnd passengers were at dinner, Tom, in prescneef of the crey,' to their utter am?fcemeut, lifted tiie bell and carried it to the opposite side of the boat. When the captain re turned ho asked how that had been accomplished, Mien Gardhdr laugh ingly remarked thai he carried it there, the former gave him the lie, and as oiie word brought on another, he presently struck Tom in the face. This wtB too much, and for the first time in his life the strong man gave blow for blow; but one buffet was suffi cient. The captain never spoke again, killed dead on the instant. Tom made his escape, wen t^cst, fitful hnjft-nev^fi been heard of since. A Brooklyn nick girl cleared spaco around thirteen ears of green corn at one meal the other day, and picking the fragments from between her teeth with a hair-pin observed : "If ever could get well enough to cat much I think I could live on corn." ^^&leH5flt ^Iv^lt?g^mpanlonT An Eastern paper relates thofollow ing good story : A gentleman who recently passed over the old Central railroad, from Rochester to Syracuse, relates au amusing incident that came under his observation before reaching Auburn. An officer was on the train, haviug in charge two convicts destin ed for Auburn prison. The. hands of tflcl ^onviots^were free, and. they eat opposite :oue.. another with irons on |thQ|rSnniles,;ine^ifficer occupying the ?ne of them. Presently a gentleman, whose hook-nose, old fash ioned silk hat, and geuernMy steady upponranee indicated inepjisitiveness, came along and took the vacant seat beside the convict, not noticing the irons. The convict was au intelligent fellow and eyed bis fellow passenger closely. Presently the passenger eaid : "Pretty slow traiii, ,thjs." Convict? "I suppose At js.rather^ow when one is ? hu\tf^ jl^ar^r?rf'Yes; are you going down the road far?" Con vict?"No, sir; I stopoffat Auburu/' Stranger?"Ah! Do you live there ?' Convict?"I have not formerly." Stranger?"But you think of taking up your residence there, do you?" Convict?"I am thinking seriously of it, yes, sir." Stranger?"What busi ness are you in, if I may ask V* Con vict?"I expect to ba in the employ of > tho State.'"'1 The stranger saw the irons and the sell about the same time, and ejaculated, "Oh ! ah, yes, I see," and went into the next car, A farmer who lives about five miles west of Faiibault,Minn., named Samu el Johnson, was going along the road Saturday last when suddenly a little Svlm-Jwdnd,. whjdbl described a circle ijPlW^tjlyjnotnjofe fhan^tlirjoe ?ej in ?iar?etor, 'appeared id the road in front of him. It took up the dust pretty lively aud buzzed like a swarm of bees, but Mr. Johnson kept on his <a ay toward it, thinking ithad no great amount of power. In fact lie did not tiilukf itj, worth, his while to step one side and lot it whirl past, but kept straight on and met it square in the road. When the}'came together the whirlwind seemed to drrfp every thing olsc and took hold ofMiltfohhabn, and in leas time thanjt^.takeg to, tc\\ it, Mr. Johnson had lost his hat and his shirt and was pitched about twenty feer into the gutter, feeling as though lie had been shocked" by a^battery. Mr. Johnson will uever fool with a whirlwind again. A Great Gun.?The Fraser 81-ton ?uu made at Woolwich Aiseual, Eng land, is the latest sensation in modern irms manufacture.
