 N. Y, for a fac simile of the first news paper ever printed in America. The ti- tie of the paper is 'sThe Boston News Letter" and the first number appeared Monday, April 24, 1704 The proprie tor and publisher was John Campbell, who was postmaster at Boston. The paper is folio, size 8x12 and the color is like manila wrapping paper. The contents are chiefly extracts from Lon- don papers. It was published weekly for 72 years.
 The New York Times of October p, also the Hartford Evening Post of same date, contain Richard Hadley's confession of his connection with the robbery of the Woodbury bank. The confession duplicates several of thePad- dy Ryan gang. This confession occu- pies an entire newspaper column and is very interesting reading, as it tells how the job was done, the tools used, etc. Hadley could now furnish another in- teresting item if he would only send some newspaper an account of his es- cape from Sheriff Porter.
 "A party of ladies and gentlemen from New York have been taking a pleasure journey with horses and car riages up the Hudson river valley to Lebanon Springs and are returning via he Housatonic valley. They drove five splendid double teams and were accom- panied by four groomsmen, who were slso supplied with handsome team and oaggage wagon. They took dinner on Monday at the Stevens house. Just for port they registered under military titles and in one or two instances named fictitious residences, but we think some ,f their acquaintances will recognize hem. even if the register reads, Com nodore F.J Allen and wife, ,Astor house, '. r.; Captain c. Sterling and wife, | Orange, N. J.; Admiral N Hunting and l vife, Glenhurst, N. Y.; Corporal Robert { Brown and wife, Sing Sing, N. r.; Pri- ate U. R. Undui, Daneman, N. Y.; four srooms, (anywhere), 12 horses
 We have received copy of the Port Chester Journal of October IS. The Journal devotes it's editorial column Q discussion of the question of the county judgeship. The Republican county convention met at White Plains, N. T., October Is, and it appears that MT Edward B. Cowles was the favorite candidate for county judge. Judge Clifford having served 12 years declined , re-nomination, but he felt that he should be permitted to select the candi- date and when he arose and spoke in very warm manner in favor of Isaac N. | Mills, he was received with such storm | of applause that the delegations forgot their promises and supported the retir- ing judges nomination. While the | of MT Cowles had no objec- tions to urge against MT Mills, they still think that MT Cowles's nomination would have been equivalent to an elec- tion. MT Cowles's father was born at North Canaan, Conn, in 1916. Our space will not permit us to cxtol Mir Edward Cowles, but we will take pleas ure in showing any readers of the NEWS the column article of the Journal, which shows the great esteem in which MT Cowles is held by the people of Vest chester county:
