D. MAcKLEY, ESQ.
DEAR sR-I have just received from my elder
brother, from Wales, Welch Family Bible,
printed In the old English black letter--the same
type as the Germans use the presentday in their
books and papers. It was published in London,
in the year 1920, and is now 249 years old. tits
large folio volume, the second edition of the
Bible in the Welch language. It was edited by
Bishop Parry, the FIRST edition being translated
aud edited by Bishop Morgan. It appears by
some notes penned on o blank leaf. to have been
in our family from the time of its publication.
Ny brother being and old bachelor, he sends 1t
to me with strict charge that 1t shall go to my
son, I. l.. Hughes, Jr., after my decease.
The venerable volume Is In fine condition. and
II not roughly handled, II will stand three or
four more centuries. The publishing price was
G40 equal to 5000 90, the price of at least ten
of the best horses in the parish at that time.
My brother could have sold tito antiQuarians for
a large amount, but no reasonable sum of mon
ey would buy II. 1t Is probably the only copy
of the kind on this continent. / have also an.
ether copy, Of the New Testament only. trans
lated and edited by William Salisbury, some so
years previous, with long Latin preface and
dedication, but my copy Of the New Testament
Is modern verbatim edition Of the ancient one
In the old Bible, the text Is very near the same
as our present standard edition. showing how
well our venerable and dear mother tongue has
held It's own. Let any one compare the Wick.

the English Bible. How the Engll sh language
has changed since Wickllf' g tme--so much that
II Is nearly another language lNeJ. ..

We had no personal feeling against any one
on Big Sandy, as we are not acquainted with

was matter of notoriety and history. More
than thirty years ago we heard of Old Sprinkle,
who made regular business of counte rfeiting,

when a horse was stolen in this part of Ohio,
the thief almost universally made for Big. Sandy,
