_Curious Advertisement._--The following genuine advertisement is copied
from a recent number of the _Connecticut Courant_, published at Hartford in
America:
"Julia, my wife, has grown quite rude,
She has left me in a lonesome mood;
She has left my board,
She has took my bed,
She has gave away my meat and bread,
She has left me in spite of friends and church,
She has carried with her all my shirts.
Now ye who read this paper,
Since she cut this reckless caper,
I will not pay one single fraction
For any debts of her contraction.
LEVI ROCKWELL.
East Windsor, Conn. Aug. 4, 1853."
