A QUAINT OLD NEwsPAPER.-A very old
newspaper is in possession of DR.. J. H. Cesse,
of Delaware, Ohio. 1t is a copy of the New
England Courant, and bears date "from Mon
day, February 4, to Monday, February IL, II
2S." The paper is, therefore, 149 years old.
1t is printed on very coarse material, very much
resembling in texture and appearance that on
which Confederate newspapers were printed
during the stress of war times. The type is
the real antique style, and looks old enough to
the eye familiar with the modern clear-cut Ro-
man. But that which gives most interest to
this strange relic of the past, says Delaware
paper, is the fact stated in the following i'm
print printed and sold by Benjamin Frank
lin in Queen street, where advertisements are
taken in"
Franklin was born in 1706. He was, there
fore, at the time of the publication of this
sheet seventeen years of age. In the course of
short Introductory article, the editor says !:
"The main design of this weekly paper will be
to entertain the town with the most comical
and divcrting incidents of human life, which,
in SO large place as Boston, Will not fail of a
universal exemplifcation. Nor shall we be
wanting to fill up these papers with grateful
inte-spersion of most serious morals, which
may be drawn from the most ludicrous and odd
parts of life" The advertisements are curious.
Here is a specimen: ga servant boys time,
years, to be disposed of. He is about 16 years
of age, and can keep accounts. Enquire at the
Blue Ball, in Union Street, and know further" "
The editor makes the following gratifying
announcement: "This paper having met with
so general acceptance in town and country as
to require greater number of them to be prin-
ted than there is of other papers ; and it being,
besides, more generally read by vast number
of borrowers, who do not take it in, the pub
Usher thinks proper to give this public notice
for the encouragement of those who would
have advertisements inserted in the public
prints, which they may have printed in this pa
per at moderate price,"

NEW YORK, Nov. THE jury in the case of
Louis g. Samuels, victim of the Ward island
outrage rendered the following verdict We
find that deceased died from exhaustion caused
by improper treatment at the hands of ignorant
and incompetent attendants; that the testimony
shows very lax and improper administration of
affairs of the institution; that the wardens and
attendants should be persons of temperate
habits, with proper amount of intelligence for
their positions, and that they should cooperate
with the resident physician instead Of obstruct-
ing him in the discharge of his duties that in
