Old Papers.

We are indebted to Mr.. NJ. NJ.
Swimley for number of old papers,
including a copy of the Virginia Free
Press dated November Is, 1865,
another copy of the same valuable
paper dated June 3, 1852, and one
dated December IA, 1S48. He also
handed us a copy of the Lutheran
and Visitor, dated June 3, 1869, and
one of the Baltimore Weekly Ameri-
can, dated March 6, 1853. The
typographical work on these old
papers is perfect, and they are much
more literary than our latter-day
journals, showing that the writers of
those times had more time and talent
in those days than they can find in the
later day hustle and hustle. We
note many queer advertisements,
among others the following advertise
ment in the Free Press tissue Decem-
Der IA, 1848):
ga negro woman and two children
for sale. Will be sold at private sale,
a negro woman and two children.
The woman is about thirty years of
age-the children two and i've years
of age. The woman is sold for no
fault, but because the owner has no
use for her. She is a good cook,
washer and ironer. Inquire of the
printer. Nov. 80, 194S, st."
Mr.. Swimley also exhibited to us a
number of old and rare stamps.
