REALITY BITES The first mentioned bottled beer By Maciej Wójcik In the history of the Tychy Prince's Brewery 1824 was a very important year. In this year the system of bottling beer was introduced. No bottle which remembers this date exists now, but it was probably a stone bottle, closed with the cork, resembling the shape of a bottle from the end of the 19th century. Philomaths & Filarets (by Ernest Jarosławski) With my closest friends - Tomasz Zan, Jan Czeczot and others I set up a secret COMPANY OF PHILOMATHS (Lovers of science) and next the COMPANY OF FILARETS (Lovers of virtue). During the meeting at the University of Vilnius on 3rd of October 1817 at 8 PM A discussion will be conducted which is supposed to prepare youth for activities in various areas of life of the nation devoid of its own nationhood. Adam Mickiewicz On the 5.04.1851 the authorities of the capital city decided to build the railway from Warsaw to Petersburg. Railway will combine the capital city with the Russian administrative centre and develop trade and industry in the places situated near this railway. All the people who are willing to build railway please go to the town hall or straight away to the construction site. Łukasz Kuroń
