The First Newspaper in America. q.

In Buckingham's Newspaper Speci mens' we find that the first attempt to set up newspaperin North America, so far as can be ascertained from existing records or from tradition, was made in Boston in the year 1890. Only one copy is known to be in existence, and this is deposited Tn the state paper office in London. e ,z Number one of this paper, and proba- ply the only number ever published, is dated September %, 1890. Immediately on its publication the legislative author ities spoke of it as a pamphlet, stated that it was contrary to law, and con- tsined t.,, reflections of very high nature, . They strictly forbade '' any thing in print appointed by the government to grant the same" This paper was printed by E Richard Pierce for Benjamin Harris Mr. Pierce is said to have been the first person who carried on the printing busi- ness in Boston. Benjamin Harris, who was was the proprriie- tor of this paper, had printing house in Boston, and in 1892 and 1894 printed the acts and laws of Massachusetts. and was printer to his Excelfency the Gov ernpr, and Council" Harris's commis- sion to .printltAe laws was in the follow ing words:
 stBy his Excellency-I order Benjamin Harris to print the acts and laws made by the great and general court or assem- ply of their Majesty s province of Massa- chusetts Bay of New England, .that we people may be informed thereof. fC. s.WhdiAM PHRPs.
 Boston, December 16, 1892.
 This is @ curious, interesting and~i portant history, showing that the advent of the newspaper to this country took place hundred and eighty years ago !!

Aneed6te of Ezekiel Wehster.

In these latter days, when the office of the Surrogate is the theatre of so much unseemly, wrangle over thayWills of.testal tors that men who have property to leave may sometimes despair of their wishes being consunmated, an anecdote of Eze- Hel Webster, brother of the ss godlike, D may be aptly quoted:
 When in full practice he was employed to defend the. will of Roger Perkins, of Hopkinton:z The physicians made affiis davit that the testator was struck with death when he signed his will. MT. Webster subjected his testimony to a most thorough examination, showing, by iquoting medical authorities, that doctors disagree. as to the precise moment when dying man is struck with death some affirming that. it is at--the- com mencement of the fatal. disease, others at its climax, and others still affirming that we begin to die as soon as we are born.
 ''I should like, to know" said MT. Sullivan, the opposing counsel, "what doctor maintains that theory % F-
 pr. Watts," said Mir. Webster, with great gravity: ,-'-..' . -. : '..''. The moment we begin to live,o a:.. We all begin to die."
 Phe reply convulsed the Court and au: dience with laughter.
