filled so large space in the travellers eye, as he
passed through the fertile town Of Hanover, Cha
taque county, on his way to Ohio, vas some three
wears since, by terrible wind, tumbed to the
round. This giant of the forest, whose gi,th was
about so feet was seized upon by Spectator, who
followed out piece of its trunk, and converted il
into grocery and this mighty giant who had
withstood the rage of the elements and the ffoWns
of thousand winters, was now compelled to bear
in its bosom the inebrating draught, to dispense the
intoxicating fluid, and to hear the twice told tale
To pluck this remnant of the aged aborigine from
so ignoble on employment from thradom so vile,
some men Of enterprise have stepped forward, and
are now engaged in removing this remnant from
Hanover, by way of the canal, to the famed me-
tropolis of this state; to be there fitted up, not
for the taste Of usquebaugh, pumpkin pies and
Ohio cigars, but to dispense to the fashonabes Oh
the battery, the choicest confectionery, the racy
champaigne and the exhiIaratng cigar Of Havana
