THAT LUcKEY FOX.
see in your issue Of May 26, that y.u
have received a communication from here
from an animal that il known by the name
OF Fox. Judging from its character it
seems that our ghost has metanior phosed
into n skunk; but that IL nothing strange,
as it would be strange for the sinking
beast to remain one thing for twenty
four hour. He says that it is the gem

Luckey Fox" was written by Christopher
Columbus Layman, Esq. In answer 1

hands and show him up in his true char
acter to the public, 30 that all may know
, what sort OF thing he is, 30 that he can
not impose himself upon so many ~ he
, has in the past. He claims TO have been
scandalously and indecently attacked
, His own medicine is coming home and

, For years he has been scribbling and

, trash, that had not one grain OF truth in it

, ing whole families, traducing their char
