called to an offer by Mr. Bruce of a prize of $1,000 for the construction of a printing press. Our subject had previously invented a press, while working at his trade in Cortland. He determined to enter the lists, being convinced that he could do so successfully, and the result proved his conviction good. His press more than equaled the conditions of the offer, printing 1,000 copies per hour instead of the 500 specified in the paper, and Mr. Northrup received the certificate, which was signed by many of the leading men of the time, and appeared in full in the New York Tribune, with editorial comments by Horace Greeley. The result of this was, that before our sub- ject could get a company and one press built, he had thirty orders for presses. After continuing the manufacture of this press in Oneida until 1855, he went to Bridgeport, Conn., and began the same manufacture, remaining three years, selling his presses to the most prominent newspaper offices in the country, his trade extending also to Canada. In 1858 Mr. Northrup bought a farm at Marcellus, where he has since lived, and where in 1885 he built his web perfecting press. Mr. Northrup has one daughter, Mrs. James D. Mather.
