I. ..1. fifty-fourth year of his agn, although h'rs face looks ten years younger. The grandfather. John Gordon, who was ol Scotch-Irish origin, settled at an early day in Northumberland county. The father of Isaac G., whose name was Zaccheus, settled at Lewisburg some years before the birth of our candidate, and for many years followed in tlmt ! Place uis ,rade of eopperstnitbing. At a later dato he came to llrookvillc, where he died m 1872, in the 83d year of his age. During childhood our hero b4 such educational advantages as tin country then afforded, which, it is well known, were not first-clas. His father, from sickuefs and misfoitune, was very poor, aud Ike, as he was familiarly called, when only sixteen years old, found it necessary to support, by the labor of his hands, the whole family, consisting of his father, mother, three sisters or d a brother. This heavy charge and re. spnnsibility, nnder which a more timid youth would have given way, had no difficulties which could not be sur- mounted for young Gordon. The path of uU,J s ue understood it, was plain belre him, and though hardships bad t0 be endurod, struggles made, and great self-denial practiced, ho was found equal to the task. Kutcring Nathan Mitchell's iron foundry, in Lewisburg, as a wane-cleaner, he afterwards letrued the trade of moulder, at which busi. ncss he worked some seven or eight years, part of the time in Danvilln, then Columbia, now Montour county, and pait of the time in Martmsburg, lilair cf)U(. fy abcut tWQ niiIeg from A. . , d , h Lcwisbure oon.i. burg fouu dry by ie ln0,ten ;ron filhng lhe sboe cn ll)e ,eft fooj ,ie WM ,ajd up for sey. , . ... . cluDloveJ ri,i;n- .. s,nJr. nnil durin wi.lcu c ' ' o time he- acanircd a taste for literary as W(. a8 scientific rursaitSf wIlieh hts aJ. ,iered ,0 ,,,, tLr h ,lfc- BACK TO TIIE KOINHRY. As soon, however, as be could walk without crutches, aud long before his font was well, he was compelled, by that stern necessity which knows no law, to lay aside the books and take bis place in the foundry. During these became familiar with their wants aud ideas. bile being one of them, then, in fullest sympathy with the great army who earu their bread by the sweat of their brow, it is not strange that he im bibed those principles of protection to borne industry, general education, and national liberty which have since formed the principal features of his political creed. That he still retains his fond, ness hr mcchauic arts, aud is still re garded among the workingmen of lirook ville as a mechanic cf no mean order, is fully attested by Ibe fact that no one is more frequently consulted on all subjects in which they take an iuterest. mnvixo law. A-classical education being circam veutetf by study daring intervals of labor and at i:g!it, together with three months at the Lewisburg Academy, Mr. Gordon entered the office of James P. Llnn Lewbur& in the year 1811, ,s 8,udcnt of law" For LU first lp?!jl FrecT,or Mr- " t entertained ke)in& "f rtitttds and re!Pect' ai" ways referring to him i a "coble wan, and a good, kiBd friend." admitted to practice in the courts of I'nion county, April, ISf:) the same year he removed to Ctrrtrcnsville, Clcai-field county, and the next year to Clew field, then called Odd Town, tbe county teat of the fame county. Here a partnership wit formed with Hon. Geo. K. Barrett, a gentle man for whom Mr. G. still entertains' feelings of the warmest regard, recog- niiirc in him one who was a friend in Lis early struggles.

Tl..n fl. nfiJnM f Snni Pn.prnn. , I one of the best judges of human na I ture in' Pennsylvania, was not ffiis- placed, (be life of Isaac G. Gordon has fully established. In 1846 he removed to llrookvillc, and formed a partnership with lion. Elijah Heath,-father of John Heath, Ksq', of Alleghany City, which Continued until Judc Heath left tbe town, some time in 1850 or 1 551 ftt August, 1848, be was marri . . tQ' August, 184S, be was married to Mary C, daughter of Dr. John W.

Of tills Jenks family, It might be remarked that while the father was a doctor, tbe boys, as well as Mary, rather inclined to the law, as William P. Jenks, one son, is now the president judge of tbe lirookville Judicial dis trict, while his two brothers, P. V., and George A., are practicing at tor. neys before him, tbe latter, altough l comparatively a young man, standing iu the front rank of bis profession. Gordon's political carker. But to resume this brief sketch, it is noted that in 1856 a partnership in the practice of the law was formed with his younger brother, and the firm still con. finues as I. G. & A. L. Gordon. In the years I860 and 1861, tbe people of tho Representative district composed of the counties of Jefferson, Clearfield, Kik, and McKcan, which was largely Democratic, desiring to be represented by a man of honest integrity, character, and brains, selected Isaac G. Gordon to perform that duty, notwithstanding be bad always been known as an Old-line VThig and Republican. The latter year of bis term of service iu the House of Representatives, he was chairman of the Committee on the Ju diciary, where, as a deep thinker and close ieasoner, together with his thor ough legal knowledge, be was able to render important service both to the people of his district aud the State at large. In April, 1SC6, be was appointed by Governor t'urtin President Judge of the Twenty-eighth Judicial district, composed of the counties of Mercer and Venango, iu which position he served with distinguished ability until the first Monday of December, in the same year, when Ii3 was succeeded by Hon. John Trnnkpy, of Mercer, who was elected on tbe second Tuesday of October pre vious. The members of the Venango bar unanimously requested Judge Gor. don to be a candidate for this position, to whieh he would undoubtedly have been elected, but as his election would have rcudered it necessary for him to remove to Franklin, he was compelled to decline on accouut of pecuniary con siderations Ex. The Opelousas (La.) Jonrnal of the 5th in it., is responsible fur the following: "Down in the parish of St. Martin, an old widow lady, whose children had all mar ried off and left her alone, had been per suaded lo sell her little place and live with tin ni. She soli! her lar.d, buildings and improvements one day for $2,000, and re ceived the money on the spot, iu her own house, where the act of sale was passed be fore two witnesses, the number required by law, and who also witnessed the paying of the money. In a short time she was to give possession, but she remained in the house the nilit following the sale, all alone, or with no masculine adult inmates, as was her custom. That night two negro bur glars broke into lhe bouse and demanded her money or ber life. She gave it to them, but begged them to let her have one hun dred dollars, as she owed that amount, and wanted to wy the debt, when she would be satisfied. They finally consented to let her keep the one hundred dollars. They then ordered her to make some coffee for them to drink. In doing so she bethought herself of some strychnine she bad in the house, and quietly dropped it mto the pot of steaming coffee, 'and placed it on the table, witb cups, spoons and sugar for them to pour out and sweeten to their taste. This they did, and drank in a jolly mood, each one having nine hundred aud fifty dollars in his pocket. But iu a few min utes tiie tables were turned. One gave up the (rhost at the table where be sat in his chair, and the other got up, staggered off a few feet, and tumbled over into eternity. The good old lady recovered ber money, and on examining the persons of the black burglarious robbers, they turned out to be the two witnesses to the act of the sale, both white men blackened for the occa sion both her neighbors, and one her cousin."

A VY'lXALB BllKAKS A.N El.ECTlttC CABLE. The Iudian cable between Kurrachee aud Gwadur, a distance ot three hundred miles suddenly failed. The tcli graph steamer. Amber Witch, started on the fol lowing day to repair the damage, which, by tests, appeared to ono hundred and eighteen miles from Kurrachee. The Am ber Witch arrived on the ground, in a heavy sen and thick fog, but the cable was successfully grappled within a quarter of a mile ot tbe fault. Mr. II. Izaal Walton gives this account of what was found : " On winding in tbe cable unusual resistance was experienced, as if it were foul of rocks ; but after per severing for some time the body of an im mense whale entangled in the cable, was brought to the surface, when it was found to be firmly secured by two and a half turns of the cable immediately above tbe tail. Sharks and other fish bad partially eaten the body, which was rapidly decom posing, tbe jaws falling away on reaching the surface. The tail, which measured 12 feet across, was perfect, and covered with barnacles at the extremities. Apparently the whale was, at the time of tbe entangle ment using tbe cable to free itself from parasites, such as barnacles, which annoy them very much, and tbe cable banging in a loop over a submarine precipice, he prob ably with a Sip of his tail twisted it around him, and thus came lo an untimely end." Tub Altoona Trilmne of tbe 22ad rnst., says : On Thursday evening two men named Wills and Carlin, both resi dents of Huntingdon county, were ar rested for drunkenness by Chief Haro den and after great difficulty were es corted to the lock.up. On bis way to the city prison with the inebriates the officer was attacked by several unknown parties who made an effort to release the prisoners which fortunately proved futile.
