Worcester daily spy., 1858-09-02

II OerInan importing mouse at New
\ ork lately received an invoice of real Ha-
vans cigars, which were appraised at the Gus
tom house at three dollars per thousand. The
importers thought this too high, and under
their oath sthe cigars were admitted at one
dollar and half Their evidence was that
not particle of tobacco entered into the COM
position of said ciggrs, bat that they were
wholly composed Of oak and other leaves
soaked in strong tobacco ley. This may not
be pleasant information to smokers, but we
suspect the oak leaves smoke just as well as
the weed.

fore it left, less only the time exhausted in
making the circuit? If SO, then, with a con-
tnuous telegraph line around the world, why
not send dispatch around and around until
it reached back to Adam, and let him know
what his children are about these q latter
