Ask almost any one about the firm and he will tell something; yet ask who are the individual members of the firm and there comes a pause.Robert J. Morgan is a well known figure on the streets; and in social, convivial, political and club circles, but his partner, Major Anthony O. Russell, is not so well known. .Mr. Russell admits this, but says he doesn’t care, as a man sixty-seven years of age is not very particular about anything so long as he is prosperous, unless he has a longing after fame, which Mr. Russell has not.Mr. Russell’s father was a tinner, and the son Anthony was the youngest of seven children. Anthony was born in Southington, Ot., December 4, 1826, and thus started in life a Yankee. When about four years old the family moved to MeConnelsvillei, Morgan County, this State, and when Anthony was ‘eleven years of age he was apprenticed to a printer In his native town. This man subsequently removed to this city, and in time became a foreman at the Enquirer office, where, in 1844, having served his seven years, Anthony was fr^ed and allowed to go where he pleased.ctANTHONY O; RUSSELL.
