A LITTLE SNUFF.

The following is only another kind Of snnf, it is
not calculated to titlate the olfactory-to sneez-
ing but has little dash of RosE-spatsr to affect
the senses and hull them into stupid confidence, in

connection. The following is the kind of trash,
which is attempted to be thrown in the eyes of

But the Gazette of Bronson affects soft Ian
