The journals of the first legislative
sessions OF the New England states.
These books, printed a century ago
contain laws that today remain in
.orce The old style type was used
and in the spelling it is noticed
that the letter IS" had but little
consideration, "f'' taking its place
in almost every instance. The pap
er. although slightly believed with
age, shows but little evidence of the
wear and tear of century, and
the various enactments can be plain
y read. The editions appear as a
favorable testimonial to the print
ers craft OF the beginning OF the
last century.
The statutes and reports of every
state in the union are to be found
in the law department as well as
the reports of England and India.

the Stone House Farm, which place
he had manag ID for fourteen
years. Under his management he
drained and ditched the swamp land
and made a paving proposition of it.
Mr.. Kuvkendall offered it previous to
Mr.. Hershberger's management for
twelve thousand dollars; now he is ask
ing thirty thousand for it. 1t is a fine
old historical place; the Braddock Road
runs the entire length of the farm;
the Stone House was at one time the
home and hotel of the famous Jesse
Tomlison, and was erected in the early
part of the last century; it was the
scene of many gay and festive occasions,
as presidents and congressman and
Henry Clay, the Father of the National
Road, were entertained there. The latter
passed over it many times during his
forty-fve years of public service.
Tomlison died in the year 1910, aged
eighty-seven years. His wife died in
the same year and both are buried in
family burying ground on the farm.
