Now I and perform all my bouse can use these facts as The letter Ls dated Princeton, August 21, 1783, the Congrem then being in session in the New Jerey town, and was addressed to"Mrs.Thomson. Corner of Spruce and 4 Street, Philadelphia." It was proposed that the residence of Congress be removed to Elizabeth town, N. J., but, according to the let ter, there was opposition on the ground that "lodging" In Elizabeth town would cost $4 a week whereas It could be obtained for $3 a week in Princeton. Whether the "high cost of living" in Elizabethtown Anally swayed the Congress in rejecting it is not dis closed, but history records that the Congress met in Annapolis, Md., after le&ving Princeton, and at no time eat at Elizabethtown. Tho letter, in part, which recently ' came Into the possession of Mrs. Rex i Worthingtoij. of Harrison, a descend ant of Mr. Thomson, follows: "Dear Hannah: "I have received yur letters dated Monday 12 o'clock and Tuesday 10 o'clock at night and acknowledged the receipt of them Mr. Rend was misinformed respecting tho ad journment. They met on Monday but they might as well have adjourned till this time for any business they have done. I am very apprehensive that nothing but some calamity will awak en the states to a Kcnse of their situa tion . . . The President of Con gress has not provided a hou.se for himself nor is likely he will find one here to suit him. I find Elizabethtown has been alked of at his table as a proper place for the residence of Con gress. He has a house there which he says ha twenty rooms and which he will let for tho use of the President. It is true the place ls infested with mos quitoes in summer and lying low and near marshes may be liable to in termittent in the spring and fall, but these are trifling, when t is considered that by fixing the residence of Con gress there the value of his estate will toe increased and he will have an op portunity of letting his Vouse at a good rent. But yet I am inclined to believe this will be opposed by his colleagues, for Mr. Condlt has found a lodging in this town at 3 dollars a week; which enables him to lay up money. And there is reason to fear that at Elizabethtown. which is so near New York, it will cost him at least four. This would be a clear loss of 52 dollars a year which Is no trifling consideration, and which I daresay will have due weight with some oth ers. -There are other weighty consid erations -which jn1rht.a.T " i DAY DOLLAR Wednesday The 19th More For Your Dollar , Than Ever Before AT THE DRESS GOODS SHOP 400 MAIN STREET New Britain, Conn, 36-IN WOOL PANAMA, blue and grey 1 Yard 36-IN ALL WOOD SERGE 1 ,Yard PART WOOL PLAID SKIRTINGS 1 Yard 36-IN WOOL CORDUROY .... 1 Yard 36-INCH FANCY DRESS SILK 1 Yard SILK PONGEE . 1 Yard 40-IN DRESS VOILE 4 Yard KIDDY CLOTH 4 3 Yard 36-IN LININE, All Colors 3 Yard DRESS GINGHAMS 4 Yard CURTAIN MARQUISETTE . 4 Yard 36-IN CREATION, Fast Colors 3 Yard 36-IN BLEACHED SHIRTINGS 5 Yard 36-INCH BLEACHED SHEETINGS 5 Yard 36-INCH UNBLEACHED SHEETING .... 6 Yard.
