A Wonderful Printing Press.
The old job press that has done duty in the Courier office for the past twenty-two years was on Wednesday set aside to give place for a fine, new pres . And, by the way, that old press was something of a curiosity. It seemed to be endowed with life. At every fourteenth revolution of the fly wheel it would jump up in the air, kick out one leg and utter a noise that sounded very much like d—m it. It would also crow like a rooster, at times, grunt like a pig and neigh like a glandered horse. But just-the same, we are going to keep that old press as long as we remain in the business. It has earned first and last $4,000,000. Morocco Courier.
