A remarkable dog is on exhibition in Salem, March 24, 1807.
THE SAPIENT DOG.
_AT WASHINGTON-HALL_,
TO-MORROW EVENING.
The extraordinary sagacity of this Animal, supercedes the
necessity of puffing advertisements or exaggerated
bills--that the Sapient Dog is a great curiosity, the
Proprietor feels no hesitation in affirming, that his feats of
activity are more various and pleasing than any preceding
exhibition of a similar nature, all of which will be made
manifest to every spectator, by his dexterity and precision in
exhibiting the following performances--viz.
_He illuminates the Exhibition Room, himself, by Lighting
his own Lamps._
By means of Typographical Cards, (in the same manner
as a Printer composes,)
_He Spells, and Reads Print or Writing._
By any person's watch in the company,
_Tells the time of the Day,_
Both the hour and minutes--the date of the year,
day of the month, and week, and distinguishes colours.
As an Arithmetician,
_He Adds, Subtracts, Divides and Multiplies,_
Tells how many persons there are present,
_Discharges a loaded Cannon, and jumps through a Hoop._
To conclude--the proprietor will suffer any Lady
or Gentleman in the company, to make choice of a
card, and the Dog, notwithstanding the face of both
packs are concealed from him, will discover the card
so drawn.
--> Tickets at 25 cents, to be sold at Cushing &
Appleton's Book-Store, children half price.--No
money received at the door.
