Some Old Relics.
From the Kn orriVe (Ga,) Trfbun

Ffort The KIN orttIIe IGd,) ITtbure,
Mr.. Adam Hortman, of this place, has
three relics that are considerable curIosities
in this day and time. One is a queer old
book, something more than hundred years
old, printed half in German and half in
Latin. The book is bound in sheep skin,
full thickness, and is well preserved for its
age.
Another is an old compass which was
used by Mr.. Hortman's grandfather, who
was sailor. The compass is similar to the
one used 10y Columbus and the mariners of
that day, and is crude affair.
The other relic is pocket knife, which
is the first ono MIR. Hortman's grandfather
owned As Mr.. Hortman is more than
sixty years old it is plain that it has been a
long time since his grandfather was a boy
not less than hundred years ago.
