A Modern Samson.
* jThomns, or Tom Gardner, as he was
fainiliarly called, was horn on the
riyer St. John, one mile above the
mouth of Mactaquack stream, in the
year 1798. 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."

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

Convict?"I am thinking seriously of

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
