were taught to bow most profound
ly to a certain nail, the professor
standing conveniently near, and by
no means disinterested part in the
performance, has been brought to
the front of the lot on the upper
side of North Street, converted in
to double dwelling, and with the
finish the painters brush has given
it is an inviting place of residence
