An advertisement like the following is not only "quaint or curious," but
it is also rare:--
ONE evening last week, a piece of Gold was passed, through
mistake, at Beverly Ferry, to Asa Leech's Ferryman, with
coppers, for a copper.----The owner may have it again,
applying to said Leech, telling the marks, and paying the
charges.

In 1798 a "Learned Pig" was in Salem, and we notice that about the same
time a learned dog was exhibited.
