A Peters, Which Has - Been Handed Down From Past Generations. " Decidedly the oldest thln : in "the form of a newspaper which the Mole Pen , ever saw was -brought In yes terday, by Colonel Peters, the same being the property ; of Mrs. Peters. The paper la a copy of The Boston News-Letter, - dated "from , , Monday April 17th to Monday. April Mtb, 1704. How la that for antiquity? The paper was Issued from the press at Boston loar before George Washington,' the first President of the United States, saw first tho ught of day and nearly three quarters of a century before the Mecklenburg Declaration of Indepen dence a signed. The paper, which has to ba read In order that the difficulties of the -let- terlrs may be overcome, is one snoei, printed an both sides, each page be ing divided Into two ' columns. The Issue Is No. 1. which perhaps ac counts for the lack of advertising. At the end Is the only thing In the nature of an announcement, this states that the paper will be continu ed weekly and "all perfona who have any Houfee. Lands, " Tenemenets, Farms. Khios. Veffels. Goods, Wares or Merchandises to be sold or let, or Servants run away,, or goods stole or lost mar have the same Inserted at a reasonable rate, from twelve pence to live shillings and not to exceed: Who may agree with John Campbell Poft-mafter of Bofton."

Consequently "the- Mln Ifters of the Highlands and the North gave lu great lifts of them to the Comn ittee of the General Assembly 1 1 be laid before the Privy Council." The politico-religious situation Is discussed at length. On the last page some local U found. "Mr. Nathaniel Oliver, a principal merchant of this place, dyed April It was decently Interred April l"." The Isst observation Is comforting at any rate. 'A reprint article from The London Gasette, December 10th, 1708, Is In teresting as giving an account of a speech of the Queen of England to the House of Peers. "Her Majesty came this day to the houfe ot Peers and attended with a ufual Solemnity; and being Seated on the Throne In her Tloyal Robes. Sir David Mitchell, Gentleman, Ufther of the Black Rod, was fent with a mefTage to the Houfe of Commons, rnqulrlng their attendance In the Houfe of Peers, whither they came accordingly; and Her Majesty was pleafed to give the Roy al AJTent to An act for Granting an Aid to Her Majesty by a Land Tax, to be ralfed In the year one.thoufand feven hundred and four."
