V/riting Paper l‘W Bale at the Mr* Printer, please 10 insert the following advertisement. I HAVE for nearly a year loft one of my young curs, end on Saturday last found him a feccnd time in your Paper. Although, he will aiifwer to the names of Bombardittion, and Zulus, his true name is Snarler , a full blooded defendant of the old Manger Breed. It was never my intention to trouble the pub lic with the feretching or yelping of nay fiom my kennel. But this fellow by nature is an itinerant, and frequently cfcapesme. I hope the next time he attempts to pa<w upon any part of your paper, you will secure him aud fend him home. There is Tomething extra • ordinary in this young tatterdemallion; he was never known to have a tooth ; he can growl and hiss like a serpent ; and fonietimes slobbers on his prey but never bites '* and yet I have fecn some little folks as much pleai'ed with his Jrorb , as <f he could actually seize. The fa*hcr cf Snarler, old Maiiger , ran himfelf to Heath that he might keep the alie nators in a neighbouring pond from eating light-'wood-knots ; and Zcila, his mother, was found theninth day driving the buzzards from the bones of a polecat, and at lift expired by the mouth of a megopher’s hole, where she had lain twenty days keeping the owner from en joying his habitation.
