IL your book, COS noboby'il never believe IT,
The people that live round about there all lose
their speech, and never hear each other speak
for years, with the noise OF the cataract! Fact

Philosophy, Baron Munchausen, tho Pilgrims
Progress. Joe Miller, Washington Irving, and
Bells Life in London. 1t is violent and stu
pendous political print, and the government of
the country has endeavored in VAIN to suppress
1t. One of the peculiar marks about this extra
ordinary city is the entire absence of those small
quaorupeds OF the genus most commonly known
