has letter on the front page addressed to
the public, detailing the difficulty of pub
fishing a newspaper in Baltimore.
The paper has fairly good list of adver-
tisements Of runaway slaves, of taverns
and local industries. 1t also contains the
startling information that "a few weeks
ago a large rattlesnake was killed on a
gentleman's plantation in the neighborhood
Of this town, in the body Of which were
found three middle-sized rabbits. The snake

about thirteen years DID,
Probably the most interesting thing in
the journal is an advertisement by George

that the subscriber has obtained patents
for upward of twenty-five acres of land
on the banks of the Ohio and Great Ka-
