A Hundred Years Ago.


one hundred years old. 1t is the first
number of the Maryland Journal and
Baltimore Advertiser, bearing date Fri
day, August 20. 1873. 1t is very di-
miuutive affair, being about one-third
the size of the DAILY RECORD, and has
quaint appearance, owing in great de-
gree 10 the use of the long "s," which
has the appearance Of the If" now in
use. On the first page is the salutatory
of the publisher in which "the great
Difficulty" Of obtaining "a proper As
sortment of Printing Materials " and
"au inadequate Number of Subscribers
TO defray the Charge of printing week
" Newspaper" are advanced as an
apology for the papers failure to be
issued at an earlier date. Another disa-
bility under which the publisher labored
was the absence of a special post from
Baltimore to Philadelphia. The paper
promised to publish whatever was sent
.'in Favor of Liberty and the Rights of
Man. Kind" promising that the paper
should be free and of no party; and fur
Their undertaking to make Agriculture
and every Branch of Husbandry"
primary Object of Attention" etc. In
conclusion W. Goddard, the publisher
makes grateful Acknowledgements "to
those philosophical gentlemen who e1-
erted themselves in a remarkable Man
ner for the establishment of this Paper
and the Printing Business in the town
of Baltimore" The remainder Of the
first page is devoted to "A Letter from
the Bishop Of c. to the Earl of Bella
mont, on his late duel with Lord Towns
hend."
The second page contains some mis-
cellaneous matter; also news from Lon
don of June IA, 16 and 10, New York of
August II, and Philadelphia of August
II; also marine intelligence and market
report.
The third page contains letter to
Messrs. Chase and Paca, and "Poeti-
cal Chronology" besides advertise
ments.
The fourth page is filled with adver-
tisements, including "A List Of Letters
left at Mr.. William Adam in Baltimore,
by the Frederick-Town Post" One is
an advertisement for runaway Irish
servant named Owen McCarty, offering
t10 for his return. Two other adver-
tisements are for runaway slaves. An
other is that of Absalom Bonham, who
"begs to inform the public that he rides
Post from the town of Baltimore to
the town of Frederick (once q week.
from whence another Post rides to the
town of Winchester, in Virginia An
other is for an active faithful Man,
who can write tolerable Hand, and
keek fair Account, and is otherwise
well qualified to ride as a private Post
or Carrier between this town and Phila-
delphia, once week, and is willing to
undertake the Service Immediately.
There is also an advertisement on the
fourth page which cannot fail to interest
Vernon in Virginia, July Is, 1873" and
bears the signature Of George Washing
ton. The advertisement offers large
tract of land for sale.
BE CAREFUL.-Now when new stoves
are being put up and old ones brought
from outhouses to do service in their
former places, is the time to be careful
to take every precaution with regard to
fire. 1t has been so long since the cry
Of fire has sounded in our ears that we
are apt to forget how easy il is to burn
our town. The moving OF a stovepipe
an inch or two to the right or left may
cause or prevent great conhagration.
Those who do business in fire-proof
buildings should also be careful with
their stoves, for in too much confidence
there is danger. From this time for
ward. until the snow falls. there is more
danger than in any other part Of the
year. Let us therefore try to prevent
fires and be ready, and prompt in our
efforts to extinguish them, should they
occur.
SAVAGE DoGs.-As may be known to
those who travel out towards the RECORD
printing Office, there are several savage
dogs on the road between it and the
Courthouse. Yesterday evening, about
half-past o'clock, lady walking along
the road near the point where it turns to
the west, was set upon by some of these
brutes, and very badly frightened, though
not physically injured. 1t is an outrage
that these animals should be allowed to
roam abroad at night. Their owners
should remember that however good the
dogs may be as watchers, they have no
commission to guard the public high
way. Every man has right to walk the
streets and to defend himself. When
troublesome animals, whether men or
beasts, make q show of interfering with
this right, they should be shot.
The TIMrs.-We have heard a great
deal said Of late by certain parties, to the
effect that times are unusually dull in
Phoebe. This fact must be admitted.
the times are dull-for Phoebe. But We
have the consolation, il il be a consola.
at all, OF knowing that there is not q
ivelier town now in the State. People
come here from all parts Of the State,
and from the mining camps Of Utah. and
oil unite in saying that Phoebe, dull as
we may think it is, is the best camp they
nave found. However much a man
growls about dull times, il you ask him
why he don't leave. he will reply, .'be-
cause there is nolplace to go to. Other
camps are worse than this And this
is true.
WINTER SUPPLIEs.-Our merchants are
now wisely laying in their supplies of
goods for the coming Winter. Yesterday
Main street was crowded with big teams,
bringing in immense loads of -four, and
all sorts Of groceries and provisions.
Barrels of liquor might also be seen un.
loading. Cords Of wood were piled up
IN front of stores and saloons, and wood
leans were continually coming in with
their loads, suggestive of bright warm
nres within, and Wintry weather with
out.
They WILL TALK.--Just now the town
tax is mostly about the coming mining
suit between the Raymond & Ely and
Kentucky companies. OF course those
who are interested are perfectly satisfied,
whichever side they may be on, that their
party is in the right. Ill.natured people
say that some of the term-jurors were
Ill A. Al.
