Old Documents,

A bunch of old amanacs have just
been handed to us by Clifford, must, ,
with age, but in d remarkable state o1
preservation, considering the tim, thai
has elapsed since they were printed
The oldest is tor the year l772. and was
printed by Joseph Cruikshank, Market
street, betwe Second and Third streets,
Philadelphia. Besides a II onthly calen-
dar, the almanacs have table interests a
summary ofannual events, and a miscel-
laneous collection of news, proverbs,
maxims and odd sayings.
One almanac in the collection, pr MT
ed in 1876, was labeled the Father Abra-
ham Almanac. The weather calculator
was Abraham Weatherwise, Gent, and
was printed and sold by John Dunlap
at what he called "the Newest Print
ing office, Philadelphia.
Joseph Ward, a former employee of the
REPUBLICAN Office, has also shown lis
a couple of old written documents
which he found amongst some old rub
bish about the old Court house.
One Of these related to case in
Chancery in which Ann Robinson and
Lewis Rees, surviving executors of Jno.
Robinson, We're plaintiffs, and John
Rees and Elizabeth, his wife, surviving
executors of William Ball, were de-
PENDANTS. The document was signed
by George Read, rs attorney for plain
titis, and was dated February 25th,
1869.
The other document was a lengthy
complaint OF Hugh Thompson and his
wife against Evan Morgan, tatherin-
law of Thompson, for Withholding a
portion from then which was
promised before they were married, and
which, it seems, was Withheld from
them. The document is interesting to
read, and gives an insight into,the APP
paren1ly strange manner OF doing busi.
ness in our forefathers' time. 1t is da-
ted August 10th, 1867.

morrow will say:
" Extreme Inactivity continues to
characterize the milling business. The
production of -four by the mills in this
city will be comparatively lig ht, but
fully large enough to suit tn" views Of
our millers. On Tuesday there were
twelve milsin operation, the produce
ton averaging about 1000 barrels per
day, against 1900 barrels last week;
the latter low figure resulted from The
week containing u holiday, The flour
markets are less favorable than week
ago, there being comparatively no in
quiry from abroad. They were picking
up to some extent at the close of last
week, but were again greatly depressed
by the break in wheat in Chicago. The
wheat stored in the Minneapolis eleva-
tors, including the transfer elevator, Ju-
" 10, was 1,262,00O bushels. There
were about 475, 900 bushels in the mills.
The wheat stored at st. Paul is about
2lS,00O bushels. The wheat in store in
the Duluth elevators is 330, ,O32 bushels. y

The Man With two Bundles

When woman gets on train with
eleven bundles and hat box or two,
it is inspiring to see her examine each
one and carefully stow it away on the
seat beside her with no trou bic or ex-
citement. The more bundles she has
the happier she seems to be. But if
man happens to have more than two
bundles he gets excited at once. He
goes through all his pockets for
piece of extra string.--Then he gets
out his knife and places it between his
teeth and commences to tie his bund-
les all up in one package. First one
bundle falls to the floor, and he picks
that up another bursts open, and as
he is gathering up tt pieces the con-
ductor comes along fer his ticket. In
the excitemen. he forgets where he
put it and hunts over his entire person
to find It, when the conductor picks it
up off the seat where he had laid it
down. By this time he is ready to
tackle the bundles again. He puts one
N top OF the other, plants his knee on
them, ties all the string he Can find
around them, places the package On
the floor beside him and never takes
his eye off it until the brakeman opens
the door and yells the name of his
station
