OLD NswspApsRs.- We have seen ii remark.


ed some where .ecent!y, that The most interest
ing reading mag 'nable is file of old Newspa-
pers, and we subscribe TO its truth. Ii brings
up The very age with all its hustle and every
cay affairs, marks its genius and its spirit more
IN an the most laDored desert pton Of The histo-
rian, and throws an amusing and strong light
upon The manners snd habits Of nstion. We
have recently met with file of the Pennsylvania
Chronicle, printed al Phil Adelphia, in 1867, from
which we make tue following extracts, which
are peculiarly interesting iDasmuch as they
partly refer 20 incidents which are connected
with The history Of cur own Stale. Th' idea,
however Of kindiiag boDh es and drinking his
Msiesty's u, attn sounds al this day rather OBJ.

WILLIAMSBURG, Der g.
We hear from Ililsbovough, in North Carolina, that
on t,t IS of September last the regiment OF militia
of Orange count, were reviewed at that place BY his
exceiency governor rryOn, when there appeared I'M
der arms 1928 men, exclusive of troop of light horse.
His excellency was pleased, after the battalion and
troops had yased in review, and gone through their
frings, accompanied with several discharges OF some
pieces of his msjess artillery, to express great salts
act on at the martha appearance and regular behavior
of the me and officers Of the corps In The evening
bo.fire erected at which his msjcstys health,
prosperity t. the governor and province, and other los
al and public.spred &, were drank, q! each 1t
which there a discharge of the artillery, and The
whole concluded with every demonstration OF aiaciity
and joy
Thee ls scarce any history, either ancient or mo-
dern, hch affords account of such rapid and sud
den incrrsse OF inhabitants IN back frontier c"unry,
as that of North Carolina. roJusy the truth OF this
observation We need only to inform our readers that
twenty years ago there not twenty taxable per.
sons within The limits Of the aforementioned county OF
Orange; in which there four thousand taxable.
The increase of inhabitants, and hourishing state OF
the other adjoining lack Counties no less surrrIs-
ing and astonishing.
The County Of Orange here a'luded 10 is
now the largest in he S ate, and when ihs CEN
sus s taken in 1920 lis population amounted
to IS 500.
