NOTHING LIKE Tive verify believe
there is more beauty in the city of Petersburg
than in any other place Of its size on earth
Let any one who doubts this, walk up Syca-
more street any morning or evening, when the
weather does not keep the fair ones at home.
Pretty faces and handsome figures are visible
by the dozens Bachelors, come to Peters,
burg?
We clip the above from our wide-awake
neighbour, tho Express. Hold u bit, Mr.. En-
press Have you ever been to Norfolk No
Well, we thought not. Now don't write any
thing more about pretty girls until you do
visit this city. If you'll only spend a fcw
days in this old borough, you can go home
and expatiate about beauty and all that to
your hearts content. Norfolk is the place for
pretty faces and handsome figures, and if the
dear creatures would only stop wearing those
waterfalls we believe they call them-bun-
dies at the back of their heads, that look, for
all the world, like bladders of Scotch Snuff,
tied at the back of their neck, they would he
tie prettiest creatures in the round world BY
the by, we remember some years ago when an
agricultural fair brought large number of
the fair daughters together in the Cockade
City, that the Richmond WH9g-we presume
some old bachelor penned the article-wanted
to know where in the name of Heaven so
many ugly women came from +? Richmond
is pretty near, and it is but reasonable to SUD-
pose that some of them came from that CITY:
but there is little doubt but Petersburg was
also Norfolk has always been
proverbial for its pretty ladies and we cannot
acknowledge that even the Cockade City can
beat us.
