affair Of Honor Our readers will learn
with singular qualification that the cele.
brated Calven Edison, otherwise called the
Living Skeleton. has not been killed BY a
worm, as has been feioniously reported,
and circulated by the newspapers with in
tent no doubt to iDjure his reputation with
posterity We have the pleasure to an
nounce to our readers that Calvin is at
present jumping alive somewhere in the
neighborhoou of Boston in pretty consider
able health and spirits, though but litle
flesh; and that he contempiates visi, 10

Of which he has desired us 10 certify to
bis being a giniwine man, lest his friends
and admirers should mistake him for
ghost. IL IS with regret, however we state
that CALVIN being skeleton, of undouot-
ed courage, and not having the fear OF
death before his eyes, has challenged the
editor OF certain newspaper who was the
first to give publicity to the ignominious
story OF the worm, and swears he will
make worms meat of him. The editor a.
foresaid, though person of equal valor,
demurs TO the meeting being somewhat
corpulent, unless Calvin will either eat
himself TO his dimensions. or wait until he
has starved himself to the dimensions Of
Calvin. and thus the affair rests at present.
