printing had never bceW/diicovercd, at
what a stage of progress would we now
find natural philosophy, astronomy, mechanics,
navigation, and many arts which
conduce so effectually to the comfort and
preservation of mankind? Where won Id
jmw ||p these liberties we hold so dear ?
4pt in the womb of futurity. The discoveries
of a Newton would have been the!
treasure of an exclusive few. Wall and
Fulton would,:perhaps, never have learned;
the llrst principles of mechanics; and
Franklin might never have read a book,
nor published n single principle tending to
the indtepc'ndcuee of his country.
The ancients of Greece and Rome, ccr
laimy number some great aip4 wise men ;
but, beyond the circle in which these learned
men moved, how few received a glimpse
of science, how few ever learned to read ;
and how difficult it was to obtain instruction
books. Now, through the agency
of printing, our tntans of acquiring knowledge
arc unlimited, and its dissemination is
universal. The consequence is, that a
gteater number labor to unravel and make
useful the secrets of nature and the progress
of mankind towards perfection is u
thousand limes more rapid. . |
The printer, us an individual, comes directly
under the constant influences pf the I
instructive and liberal art he professes.
Tiie printer, reads more varied and gener-j
a I information, than the theologian, lawyer,
or avowed philosopher. It is the printer'si
trade totreud constantly, day ul'ter day,
during his whole life; he earns his daiiy j
bread b) reading?ay, and reading sloiv'y
and carefully, for he must follow and put
thu works we read into type letter by letter;
he must dwell awhile upon every sentence. I
Does the merchant know the prices of cotton
and other goods in distant countries?[
the intelligence is perused by a printer he-1
fore a merchrnt touches it. Does thei
politician discuss the affairs of nations?lo*
owes his knowledge to the printer who is
always ahead of him in points of iufhrmat:
" i\ it
nun. mjiics me pnysictan stithy tIk* work j
of somo profound E*culupitis?lot him
look at the title page, and no will see thatl
he owes the work to a printer, who has |
read it over and over to see that not ui
letter*!* wanted, not a comma out of place.]
The same may be said of the lawyer, the"
minister, and the scientific mechanic.
The printer stands at the door of all their
learning, and holds the keys which open ii.
The printer is a great traveller. There
are few printers in the United States who
have not visited every Stale in the Union.
They are sure of finding a printing office
in every village, and consequently do not
| hcsiiate to travel wherever their fancy
may lead them, sure of finding in their
brother typographers, friends ready tq -ossist
them, give them work, or obtain a
situation for them. The printers arc v'qn-j
seqiicnllv thoroughly acquainted with their
country, ni general and in detail; .tone
can know better or speak of it more cor-j

tic; and, while he prints geographies and
books of travels, ho takes occasion to view .
with his own eyes every part of the old
and new world.

From the day of Franklin to the present
tunc, our legislative hulls, our places o| j<
honor, have; been ornamented by talented ji
and eloquent printers. J he bar is often
indeblctl to the printing olliee for some of ,
its ablest members; in this cby we have
living and prominent examples of the
fact.
The printers, wherever lin y can hnite a
sufficient force, generally farm themselves
into a society for tin? mutual protection,
and for the purpose of assisting each other
hi c.i^es of need. These societies lix tin
rates of wages, the hours of w >rk, and
provide, for the sick and unfortunate.?
1 They oind themselves hv the strict! st and
most honorable rules to preserve the dig**!
nity of their art, and to defend each other
against the injustice of grasping employ*
cis. If a printer should dishonor his trade
or work under wages, he is itnmediali lv
stigmatised and disowned. It is very rare
that a printer ran be induced to dishonor
the pledges be has given to his fed lowworkmen.

\V#? have sfiiiicwhcrc read that a private
soldier in a regiment of militia once recovered
heavy damages against his oflicers
because one or inore lashes had been inflicud
upon hini than had been awarded by
the brutal sentence of a brutal court martial.
That sentence, if wo remember
right, was a thousand lashes?i. e. nine
thousand strip&s; or, reckoning that each
of the nine ?ii's or thongs of the instruments
of torture contains three knots, and
that the executioners were then, and are
now taught, on scientific principles, to
make every thong tell?the infernal sentence
would literally mean twcniy-scvcn
' . ..
thousand wounds. The victim in the caae' i
referred to, received this horrid punishment
at three instalments?that is to say,
when the flesh was so dreudfully torn thai,
the presiding surgeon declared his life in
danger front the loss of blood, or from the
exhaustion of unbearable anguish, the
mangled wretch was unbound from the
' triangular rack, and conveyed to the Itos-.
pital. whence, when his wounds WereT-h'eal-.

Of late years some amelioration
has been made to the extent to which the,
aristocratic amateurs of whipcord can in-|
dulge their unnatural penchant for tearing
the'living flesh from men's backs. W??
man can be mangled twice on the same
sentence ; but if the surgeon decides that,
human nature can bear no more, cre the '
number of lashes awarded ugainst the victim
have been administered, the victim is,
pardoned the remainder. C.'otirls martial, 1
too, are restricted in their sentences to i200,

Panther Sii???? iino.? 1 he St. Luav- I
renc.e lb publie oi has an interesting account
of a conical between a mill by the
name of llaiues, of the town ol En wards, ^
in that county, and a large panther, in
which the former was victorious, after cxhibifing
^ degree of hardihood and persevereiK.t,
which fully entitles his adventine
to a place along side of the well-known
wolf a flair of General Putnam. The oto- 1
ry of Mr. llaincs is, ihat on llie lSih ultimo.
while travelling through the woods,
on the Haven tiact, in the town of Pilcaiu, I
he came across the recent track of a pan- t
tlicr; he immediately returned homo <'/?? -
* - t *y* c
his dogs and rille, and started in pursuit. 1
After following the animal in a zig-zag direction
nearly six miles, he came a
ledge, into a iissnre of tvbich the panther
had entered. Adding a second ball to his
rifle, he commenced an examination of the 1
i avrrn.and readily discovered the animal's 1
position, hv his shining eyes, which ser- |
ved as a mark, at which he took aim and s
fired.
*' At lIte place where the panther enter- i
rd, tlx ascent was nearly equal to that of i
ihe ioof of a house, for twelve or fourteen
feet, then extending downward under the j
floor of the entrance, nearly to the place
where I sto?><'?at which place there was '
another opening, hut covered with snow (
two or three feet dc? p. I reloaded my
rifle, and in the meantime, 'he dog and the j (
panther, apparently in 'close communion,*
had descended to the lowest aperture.
Judging from the shrieks of the-j
dog, that the contest was an unequal one,
I threw aside my rifle, dug away the snow,
and immediately pulled him out. The
panther then ascended to the top of the
lower cavern After making the aperture
sufficiently large, I crawled in six or seven
feel, taking my dog and rifle with me,
when, upon looking up, at the distance of
seven or eight feet, I beheld the same
glassy eyes, darling their fierce lustre up
on me. mKc me boy in quest of the!
bird's nest, with mueli ado,' I succeeded
in bringing my rifle to bear upon bis head ;
* lei sliver, sent my dog foi ward and immediately
backed out, re-loaded my ritle,
and prepurcd for another onset, should occasion
demand. Tl(tis I repealed three
times in succession, ench time sending
my dog forward as a feeler. The fourth
time 1 sent in my dog ; they soon come
down to the mouth of the cavern, the dog
hacking out, the panther having him by
the nose, and his claws grappled into his
shoulders, the dog of course having the
t - "i
under jaig of tlTe panther in his mouth';
the objecl/of the dog being evidently to
get out of the cavern, bringing the panthei
with him.- As soon as the panther's head
came in tight, 1 fired a ball ifito his fore*
head ; and here terminated*my sport.
Upon examining the head of the pan*
ther. 1 found that every ball {six iu num*
ber) had taken effect. One eye destroy- f
ed, the roots of his tongue cut off lee'h
