chamber in Paris. He was miserable looking

$4,000 francs in gold and notes were found in
belt which he wore around his waist, and 100000
francs more were found in his mattress and con

humanely sent a cart to carry him 70 Potters Field,

BOSTON NEWSPAPERS.

As respects the introduction OF printing into this
country. Massachusetts claims precedence over all
the other States. 1t was established at Cambridge
by the agency of the Rev Jesse Glover, for the
benefit OF Harvard College, under the supernen-
dance Of Stephen Daye. in January, 1859. and was
first introduced into Boston, in 1875, by John Eos
Ter, of Dorchester.
Boston has the credit Of issuing the first news
paper in North America, which was commenced on
Monday, April "a. 1TO4, by John Campbell, Esq
under the title of The Boston News Letter. II had
been published Dy Campbell near Ii years, when II
transferred to his printer, Bartholomew Green,
who continued it until his death, Dec % 1889, and
succeeded by his son in law, Mr.. John Drat er,
Jan. A, 1735--Mr. Draper printed the News Let
Ter about so years, and died aged 81, Nov %, l762,
when it fell to his son. Richard Draper. In May,
1774, Mr. Draper took John Boyle as partner The
next month Draper died (June 6, aged Az and his
widow, Margaret Draper succeeded him as propri
etor Of the paper, and Boyle was for short time
her partner but they dissolved before the com
mencrment of The Revolutionary war After the
war began, John Howe became Mrs. DIS partner
aud remained in business with her until the British
troops left here, in 177G; al which time the paper
was discontinued after being regularly published
Tor nearly serenity too gears, II was the only pa
per printed in Boston during the siege. Thus
briefly we have given history Of the paper, the
title of which we have revived. The printing OF it
was commenced and ended in an office in Wash
ingon- street, (see Thomas i. 485 and $3.50 where
the Washington buildings are now erected.
