| AN almanac printed in $40 and
left at this Office by Mr.. Oliver Brooks
of Easton is very interesting docu-
ment Besides the usual data gener-
ally given by almanacs it contains
great deal of political information OF

were the democratic and the federal
parties. There is list OF the MEM

house Of representatives with the his

the methods used in politics at the
