The prosecution of Zenger for libel was the first case of the kind on this side of the Atlantic, and aroused great public excitement. and when Zenger was acquitted it was considered great victory for the principles of free speech and free press. Zenger was born. in Germany. but came to America at the age of thirteen, and was engaged as an ap- prentice by William Bradford, the founder of the New York Gazette, the first paper in that city. Bradford could never forgive his German pro- tege for establishing a rival paper, and the two carried on bitter per sonal and political warfare in the col ums of their respective papers.

 FOR OLD JUNK

 This community has already suf- fered seriously from this source.
