American Newspapers.

The first newspaper printed in North America,
says the Philadelphia Sun, was printed in Boston,
$780, Only one copy of that paper was known
to be in existence 1t was deposited in the State
Paper Office in London, and was about the size Of
an ordinary sheet of letter paper. 1t was stopped
by the government. The Boston News Letter was
the first regular paper It was first issued in 1904,
and was printed by John Allen, in Pudding Lane.
The contents of some of the early numbers were
very peculiar. 1t had speech of Queen Anne
to Parliament delivered one hundred and twenty
days previously, and this the latest news from
England. In one of the early numbers there was
an announcement that by order Of the Postmaster
General of North America, the post between Bos-
ton and New York sets out once a fortnight. Ne
gro men, women, and children were advertised to
be sold and call was made upon woman who
had stolen piece Of fine lace worth 14s. yard,
and upon another who had conveyed piece Of
fine calico under her ridinghood, to return the
same, or be exposed in the newspapers.
This pioneer paper was published for IA years
it was the leading Tory paper, prior to the Revo-
luton. The Boston Gazette the organ of the
patriots, and was issued at Watertown. At the
commencement Of the Revolutionary war, there
were but 81 newspapers in the United States. OF
this number only eight we're committed to the
British Government, but FIVE others were brought
over. The oldest existing paper in Massachusetts,
was the Worcester Spy, first published in this city
during 1770 but removed 10 the western part Of
the State ON the occupation Of Boston by the Brit
sh troops. Our country, although the youngest in
the world, outstrips all others in the number Of
publications aud newspapers sold. The number OF
copies of newspapers printed here is four times
greater than in Great Britain though England has
twice as many magazines. The number of religious
newspapers here and the extent Of their circula-
ton, form a striking social characteristic.

DEAR SIR: have been subject of Dyspepsia, in
its worst form, for the last five years. Such was my
condition for twelve months that the physicians and
all who saw me said / must die. While in this con-
dition, was carried to the watering places in Vir
ginia Tennessee, and North Carolina, but was not
benefited by any water to which / was taken While
my way home, stopped aweek at Rutherfordton,
small village in North Carolina, to try the effect of
Chaybeate water in that place. About the last
of the week went into drug store to get some med
icine for my child and myself There were several
of the village physicians in the store and of them
seemed to take interest in my case, and after
asking me some questions, said he had been dys-
peptc and had been greatly benefited by the use of
"Hoofand's German Bitters prepared by ysu, and
he insisted that would try the Bitters. He also
called the next day at my ROOM and insisted much
that would try them that asked him to get me
one bottle. He did it. and commenced taking it as
directed, and was more benefited by it than all the
water and medicine j had ever taken
After reaching home, one OF my neighbors came to
me for prescription and medicine, Che dyspeptic)
and gave him nearly all the Bitters had left which
effected much good in his case. He has often called
me for more of the same kind of medicine, saying
he was more benefited by it than any other he had
taken, but have not been able to get any more for
him myself since. Will you, therefore, please ship
me a dozen or more as soon as possible.
Respectfully, yours, w. SMITH.
