Two Autograph Letters from General Peter Muhlenberg, a member of the Assembly, to Israel Bringhurst, great-grandfather of the exhibitor, as follows :
March 11, 1798.
Dear Sir ; I have received your note and am sorry to hear that you are unwell. but not so much on my own account as yours. If you had called upon me to day, you would have dined on rock fish &c etc. in company with good democrats, thus you see what you have lost by pretending to be sick. The Election District passed the House, unanimously on Friday last. It will be discussed in the Senate on Tuesday next. Your letter had the desired effect. * * * These confounded Democrats push the bowl so briskly that I can hardly see to write, and can there- fore only say God bless you if possible Yours P. MUHLENBERG.
PHILADELPHIA, March 26, 1798
Dear Sir : Yours of the 14th did not reach my hands until this morning. The fate of our election districts, you are by this time undoubtedly acquainted with. The bill passed our house without opposition, but in the Senate, through the intrigues of Messrs. Potts and Evans, it was amended in such a manner that its original features were totally lost. They fixed districts at
and one at Pottsgrove the other at Snyder's was to be abolished. In this way it stood. But finding the amendment stood no chance in our house, they postponed the bill generally, so that it now sleeps, and is at rest : hoping for a joyful resur- rection. *

CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.
Fate and destiny combined with the aristocrats are hurrying us precipitately into a ruinous and bloody war, and the chance of escape is a slender one indeed. You will see by the papers, that an attempt was made in our house to instruct our Senators in Congress to maintain the peace if possible, but strange to tell, all the Quakers, Old Tories &c voted against it, so that they are for war and the fighting men for Peace
A Report is in circulation that our Ministers in Great Bri- tain have concluded an alliance offensive and defensive with that nation, how true I know not. You can see by this scrawl that I am not very well calculated for writing this day.
With respect and esteem I am dear sir
Your most obedient servant

Perkiomen Bridge Lottery Ticket. The present bridge structure over the Perkiomen creek at Collegeville was built by the county of Montgomery. In order to raise the necessary funds, the Legislature of Pennsylvania, February 21, 1797, passed an act "for raising by way of lottery the sum of twenty thousand dollars to build this bridge." Twenty thousand tickets were sold. One of them is in possession of the exhibitor, and reads as follows :
No. 246. PERKIOMEN BRIDGE LOTTERY. Class the First.
This ticket entitles the bearer to such prize as may be drawn against its number, if demanded within twelve months after the publication of the fortunate number, subject to a deduction of 20 per cent.

Autograph Letter. Wright Armat to Israel Bringhurst, giv- ing the origin of the name of Wright A. Bringhurst, as follows :

The Second Parte of the Christian Warfare; or, the Con- tempt of the World. Tending to arme and confirme the weake Christian against the tentations of prosperity, and to preserue him from the immoderate loue of earthly things: by prouing vnto him, that both the world and worldly uanities are so base and worthless, that they deserue not to be esteemed and loved of a Christian, in comparison of God's spiritvall graces and hea- uenly ioyes.
