The first number of your sprightly
little journal has been received. The
following is a never-failing remedy
for the destruction of this nocturnal
crupu : If you have not one your
self, borrow of yotn'neighbor, abroad
tace hammer and sad iron, thence
proceed to the place of concealment,
invert your iron, catch the little in
nocents one by one, place them

chaical stroke with satd hammer the
victim is yours, l^asiest thing in
the world.
