There will be exhibited at the Williamsport Centennial a hand press which is 153 years old, being one of the first presses built in this country and the oldest one now in existence, which was secured by Grit Publishing Company, for the antiquarian display. The press was built bv Thomas Draper in Boston in 1742 and was used for many years by the early printers in the eastern and middle states. It was exhibited at the Centennial in 1876, and was also one of the greatest attractions in Machinery hall at the World's Fair. A curious feature of the old press is the two cabbage like pads accompanying it, which once served to ink the type in place of rollers used for that purpose.

llay Brown of Lancaster, who is ex-Attorney General II disci's law partner, to lie a judge of the Court, has Biirpriscd the whole stale.
