what are you thinking about?" The coun-
tryman, pausing little, scratched his
head and coolly replied-"I have been just

dish my bacon face and your CATS head

Nepspapers.-The following singular
advertisement is copied uerbatim from an
old Norwich newspaper, printed by Hen
ry Crossgrove, in the year l73s:-''This
is to inform my friends and customers,
that on Saturday next, this newspaper
will be sold for penny, and be continu

still be taken in gratis, as formerly. The
reason of my raising it to penny is, be-
cause the number print is too prodigious
great to be given away any longer: and l
hope none of my customers will think it
dear at penny, since they shall always
have the best intelligence, besides other
