Mr. Benjamin F. Avery Breathes His Last Yesterday Morning. Career Of the Man Who Became Greatest Plow Manufacturer in tho the THE FUNERAL TO-DAY. At 7:30 o'clock yesterday morning Mr.

Benjamin Franklin Avery, the great plow manufacturer, died of old age at his resi dence on Broadway and Fourth streets. His death took place in the presence of hii physician and a number of bis children and grandchildren. It was the fitting end of a well-spent and prosperous life. The career of Mr. Avery presents one of the most remarkable examples of well-directed and successful business effort to be found in the counjry.

Starting out. in lifo with nothing but Industry and some judgment as his capital, be roe from an bumble beginning to the highest rank as a manufacturer. Mr. Avery was born in I SOS, at Aurora, New York, to which place his father emigrated from Connecticut, and was tbe sixth of a family of fifteen children. He graduated at Union College in and after studying law to please bis father was admitted to the bar in Sev Vork city.

He had no taste for the profession, and baring a natural mechanical inclination, he determined to devote hieniMslf to tbe improve-' merit and manufacture of plows. Providing himsolf with a small foundery outfit, with S4.0O in bis pocket, he took 'passage on a coasting vessel for Uichmond, where he bad determined to locate bis venture. Receiving but little encouragement, he went to where be formed a partnership with a practical molder named Caleb II. Richmond, and opened bis first plow foundery in a pine log', cabin. They began business witb a single ton of metal, but by industry and frugality, built up a prosperous business.

They continued together a few years, when the owners ojf the land they occupied refused to rent them any longer. They went to Milton, N. where they remained a few years. Again forced to move, they went baek to Virginia. and located at Meadville.

At this place Mr. Avery went into partnership with Mr. Schuyler Bradley, and a year later they went to Rockbridge county, where they settled permanently, as they then thought. They remained together for nine years, Mr. Avery being the business manager, and were very successful.

In 1812 Mr. Avery's father died and he was appointed executor of the estate. The next year be sold his business interest to a younger brother and returned to Aurora. In 1843 be commissioned a nephew, David Humphrey to select, -the best place in the South or Southwest for a plow factory, and after looking carefully the young man pitched npon Louisville. In a few months, he began to feel.

the need of his uncle's experience, and per- made Mr. Avery to come to this city for a short while. The brief stay made him interested, however, and be soon took up his permanent abode. He started in with a small capital, and from this beinnintWhas rien the present immense manuf actoryof B. F.

Avery Sons the largest establishment of the kind in the world. At the outset he de termined to produce not only the very best but the cheapest plow made, and gave his personal atteSuou to improving tbe clumsy tool then in use. He made several alterations, lightening1 it, deepening the furrow and decreasing the dram He also invented and patented a machine for bending wooden plow bandies, Witb. these improvements and bis remarkable busines ability be became very prosperous tiil the war, which brought a slight decline. Peace put the business on a lirrru fooling than ever, and at present the establishment is equaled by no other in the world.

In 1S44 Mr. Avery married Miss Susanna II. Look, daughter of Mr. Samuel Look, a farmer of Central Sew York. Tbe union was a happy one, and the couple bad six children, all of whom, and bis wife, are still living.

Tbey are Samuel George C'Wrn. of this city; ilrs. Lydia A. Coonley. of Chicago; Mrs.

Helen A. Robinson, of this city, and Mrs. Gertrude A. Sjjhanklin, of Evansvdie. The business which broupht Mr.

Avery such a large fortune was not tbe result of an accident, nor the mere of accumulating riches. When a boy -bis attention was called by personal experience to tbe awkward plows then in use, and it was the wish to supply a better tool which led him to attempt its perfection. He had many an opportunity to go into a business which promised vastly better returns, but ha would not chance bis purpose. He aimed at the improvement and amelioration of farm labor, and be succeeded to reap a richer reward. than if be bad been actuated by a' selfish motive.

Though be came from the Cast, bis sympathies were cast with the people of bis adopted section. A striking proof of this is tbe fact that he produced plows adapted only for Southern soil. Larly in life Mr. Avery connected himself witb tbe. Presbyterian cuurch, of which he remained an 8ctive member tbe remainder of bis days.

he first came to Louisville be joined Dr. Humphrey's old church, on Tbird street, between Green and Walnut. He lived up town 'at the time, bis factory being on Main street near Preston. Afterwards be moved down town, and some months later he and his wife joined the Walnut street cburcb, in which he was an elder from several years ago up to bis death. Mr.

Avery was noted for bis nnostenta-tious hospitality. It is said that in all the years of bis successful business life be never refused help to a needy person. He had a larga number of men in bis employ, and some of them have remained with himforneriy thirty venrs. He believed in treating them well, and the long years of their stay show their appreciation. Some years ago be retired from tho active management of his immense business, but he bas always been consulted by nis sons oa important matters.

His vigorous intellect never weakened, and bis advice was invalu able and indispensable. Some ten years ag be founded a monthly paper, the Home and J'orm, which bas become a semi-monthly, and of such a largo circulation as to be an immense business in itself. He always took a bnt quiet, interest In politic. He was an ardent Republican, but gave the party none of bis personal attention, and was never a candidate for any ofilce. A week niro last Friday the old ase.

which had touched him but lightly except at times heretofore, made its last attack. lie was quite ill, and had to take to bis bed, from which be never rose. Up to last Sunday he retained consciousness, bar in the afternoon he recognized his wife and family for the last time. He then sank steadily, bnt painlessly, and finally dropped luto a natural and easy death. Tbe funeral will take place at tbe family THE COURIER-JOURNAL: LOUISVILLE, WED DAY MORNIXO.

A ilastv Glance at ibe Events of Tnst Ianpert- aat Quarter of a Century Liucola's 1're- pbetie Eloquence.

Atlacta Constitution. Twenty-four years ago this morning. Mr. Buchanan, last of tbe Democratic Presidents, sat la the bite House, grave and care worn. Only one day of Democratic rule remained.

Already Mr. Lincoln, in his rooms at IViliard's. awaited, with a tense of con servation, the coming of the eventful day that would usher ia tbe Republican regim'e. At this time the flag of the nited fcitsies wasflyinjr at but three points in the seven seceded States. Two.

months before Robert Toombs bad said in tue Senate: "We are as ready to fight now as wo ever will be. I will have equality or war." Mr. Jefferson Davis bad been President of the Confed eracy for two weeks, and tbe "bonnie blue nag" was to be unfolded taree days later, pue hundred thousand soldiers were under arms in the Confederacy to be compacted into an army during that very week. Tbe South was aflame with excitement and the sentiment of the North was rapidly hardening into resolution. The Anglo Saxon blood was up, iu the veins of Punuo aud Cavalier, and war was inevitable.

It was amidst this gathering storm, soou to burst With un-equaied fury, tbat tbe strong bands of Lincoln took the reins of government from the honest but uncertain grasp of Buchanan. The statesman gave place to tbe hero the diplomat to the martyr. The Democratic party bade a long farewell to power, aud tbe Republicans entered upon a career of splendor and of corruption. A quarter of a century nas passed since that day. A war without a parallel in scope r.nd energy has swept tbe land.

Tbe graves of half a million heroes testify to the valor of the survivors. From the wreck of battle the Union has been saved. Five millions of slaves have ben freed and enfranchised. Ibe right of secession, submitted to the verdict of the word, bas been cut down forever. An indissoluble republic of equal and sovereign States is tbe legacy of tbe war and a tenderer and a stronger and a better people rise up to call it blessed.

President Lincoln, kindliest and greatest of Republ leans, met tbe death that shadowed bis lofty life at the bands of an assassin. Lis party, sinewy and heroic in his strong bands and strenuous times, was corrupted and inflamed under weaker leadership and circumstance. It lost the straight and wimple path tbat, "witb charity for all and malice for none," be had pointed out, and filled the devious ways of passion and partisanship. The high-pulsing emotions that under his tingiug invocation inspired bis soldiers for battle, were prostituted to the doubtful uses of tbe politician. strife sal.
