The first paper company in Massachusetts was granted a patent in 1728. The mill was started in Mil ford in 1730.

Mr. Cheney, a farmer of Indiana, hav- og a married daughter living in Ne braska, was shocked by a telegram from her husband saying that her body would arrive the neit evening. The family was overcome with ^the sudden blow. Hurried preparations for mourning gar ments and the preliminaries to the fune ral were made, and, on the dismal even ing, dressed all "in black, they went to the station to meet the corpse. The hearse and two or three carriages were drawn up in line, and a numerous crowd, attracted partly by curiosity, partly by sympathy, accompanied the bereavtd household. As the train approached a solemn silence settled upon the assem- Wy, and aa it stopped there was re- »j>ectful hush until the ceremony of » re solving the corpse was concluded. But the train hand* did not share this feel ing.

At about midnight he went to the house of Peat Maxwell, accompanied by two men named John W. Poe and T. M. McKinny, whom he had brought from home with him, The two men were told to stand cm guard at the gate, while Garrett went on and entered the room of Mr. Maxwell. The latter was in bed at the time, and Garrett quickly informed him of the object of his visit Ha had scarcely done so when in walked “ Billy the Kid,” armed with knife and revolver. Garrett dropped behind the head of the bed and remained there in a crouching position.

The null was, however, only for reducing the fiber to pulp by stamps run by water power, end was in no way like our modern mills. In 1588 a German made such good paper that Queen Elisabeth knighted him and gave him a*monopoly of gathering rags in the kingdom for tea yean. The real value of paper-making liegan to be best appre ciated when the art of printing was dis covered in the fifteenth century. Hod printing been discovered earlier there would have been little use for it, as neither the bark nor straw paper of the Chinese, the papyrus of tLo Egyptians, nor the parchment of the Greeks would have been sufficiently plentiful for the demands of the printing press. Ger many, using cotton, flax and mgs, and her water and wind power for their re duction to pulp and fiber, was ready for the printer and his press, and these made possible the Reformation. The rag engine, by which the raw ma- teiiaTia reduced to pulp, is a German invention lees than 200 yqars «dd. As late as 1756, in this land of ingenious workmen, rags were reduced to’flulp by stamps or in mortars. In 1798, Louis Robert, of Frimoe, invented theeo-esllod Fourdrinicr machine.

Buell rode ahead and skirmished with the rebel pickets, keeping them Lack until Gen. Strong got the body into the ambulance. They drove back with all speed to where Gen. Logan and the other officers were. Dr. Hewitt hastily opened his coat and dis covered that the bullet had passed di rectly through his heart, killing him in stantly. The body was taken at once to Gen. Sherman’s headquarters, from where it was sent, in charge of Gen. McPherson’s personal staff, to Marietta, where it was embalmed and sent with the same escort to the home of his aged mother at Clyde, Ohio. Capt. Knox, who accompanied the General, said they had gone but a short distance down the lane when a shot was fired from an ambush, taking effect in the shoulder of the General's home.

He was promised $20 for a suitable article. “How long shall it be?” inquired North. “As long or short as you please,” was the reply; “quality, not quantity, is the object.” Thereupon North indited this powerful article: We had rather see the whole world get drunk of its own free will than one man kept ■obir by compulsion.
