WE have neglected to acknowledge the receipt of the Almanac for 1873, issued from the Philadelphia Public Ledger establishment on the first of the year, and sent gratuitously to the eightyodd thousand subscribers to that popular journal. It contains a large variety of useful matter, general as well as local, and much scientific information. The Public Ledger, as a newspaper, under the management of its proprietor, Mr. George W. Childs, has achieved a broad fame as a reliable and instructive journal. Its news always shows a far-reaching ability to gather what is desirable to the public to find in a newspaper, and the pith and point of the same only is given. Precision seems to be the characteristic tone of the contents of the Ledger, from the beginning of its editorials down to and even through all its multitudinous May 24 advertisements. In fact, it is a model newspaper 31 in the hands of a model proprietor.-Oxford June 24 Press, Chester county, Pa., Jan. 22, 1873. 17 18 Mar. 17 29 Apr. 2 ELECTORAL AND POPULAR VOTES FOR PRESIDENTS OF THE U.
