News Item
An Old Newspaper
We have in our possession an old paper. It bears the name of "The New England Weekly Journal" dated Boston April 8, 1728, one hundred and forty-one years ago last April. It is 10 by 12 inches, made up in two column forms with only two pages and although of such an advanced age it shows good usage. It is of course printed with the old-style type and shows a good clear impression. On looking over this ancient sheet one would be led to exclaim, how fast has the art of printing progressed? The contents of the paper are "His Excellency's Robert Hunter, Captain General &c, Declaration to the Council Jan. 31, 1727;" "The Reply of the Council;" "His Excellency's Reply." Over one column is devoted to foreign news. Among the advertisements is one of two books "Dissensions, the danger of falling away after a profession;" "The History of the Rise, Increase and Progress of the Christian People called Quakers;" one that "Nath Pigott intends to open a school for the instruction of Negros" and urges masters to send their servants; "A discourse occasioned by an earthquake - The Nature and necessity of Repentance, with the means and motives to it;" Two advertisements offering for sale by the Printer - a couple of Negro women. It is certainly interesting to look over the columns of an old newspaper. If people only knew the pleasure to be derived from it, they would never destroy their local papers. The newspapers of today would be very interesting to those who are allowed the perusal, one hundred and forty-one years hence. This old paper is the property of Wm. R. Allen of this town, who kindly favored us with a look at it.
