LARGER BEAR.-The Importance of spell.
ling correctly is seen by the following,
especially the necessity of spelling lager
beer as it should be. Mr. Todd, wishing
supply of Fourth of July beverage,
wrote as follows:
BUNGv1LLE, July |, 1860.
Messrs. Blotch & Drinkcr sen me up
as soon as posibal cask of Brandy and
one Large Bear for forth of juli sen the
Bear by express. in Haist
REUBEN ToDD.
The answer comes as follows:
Mr.. ToDD.-Dear Sir: We send YOU to.
day one cask of brandy and the bear, by
express, as requested. You must feed
h'm on raw meet, and be very careful
that ne does not escape, as he is very
savage. He cost $4OO, and we will let
you have him for the same. Please for
ward payment. Yours, respectfully,
BLorcH & DRISKER.
The CONSERVATION of Reuben Todd
was complete when the furious animal
was landed at his shop door, with a half
scared curious crowd around it, and it
was only by a sacrifice of the cask of
brandy for keeper, and Il couple of trips
to New York, that he got rid of his ugly
property and learned how to spell lager
beer.
