~ mas been said that ] run away from Louis
vile and (ainong other places) had made tracks for
the Naeara-theIeore resolved on Tuesday last, trpr
&c Cincinnati, for one day only; returned again las
night. begin to feel that very important ndi-
vidal, as this instant the Journal of this city put
INTO ~ hand, stating, amongst a great many ohe'
things, that had actually run away from Louisville
to escape the effects of the wonderful magnetic lie
Of doctor Snip the knight of the thimbe, alias 5 $,
N.Y. RETURN however, proves that the fable of the bo
and wolf, is applicable to the Journal The fable is
"a boy was employed to watch and give the alarm
when the wolf appeared; he being either footmun,'
talors sn p or liar, frequently cried out the wolf in
coming, to the great dsmay of the citizens I'll w,
last found out his real character: that he was liar
and not to be believed even when he spoke the truth.
The fact IS that must produce their effects. So
it will prove, of the all wise writer's, DR.. Snip & Co.,
the Journal. / would advise them to provide them
selves with steam eng tine press, order meet the
wonderful demand and increase of that paper, as it is
we'll known, there many who seek for nothing bu,
talsehood of sheerlOe to the vendors of thar arti
Gle. But unfortunately for Goliah Snip, of needle and
thmble celebrity, the great mass of the millions of A
mericanpeople, famed and far famed lovers OF
truth Therefore they will las effects produced by the
cast 81 naturally say, want to read paper, that
may rely on therefore viii seek out such, and become
subscriber to the other journals, whose statements
will not prs>L false. Their las statements pal
