Mr. PINCHBECK

RESPECTFULLY informs the Inhabitants of SALEM, that he has

just arrived in this town with that great natural curiosity,

the

Pig of Knowledge,

And flatters himself, after exhibiting before the President

of the United States with unbounded applause,

and in every principal City in the

Union, to have the honour of gratifying

such Ladies and Gentlemen

in this place, as may

favour him with their

Company.

_This extraordinary Animal will actually perform the following

surprising particulars, viz._

He reads print or writing, spells, tells the time of day, both

the hours and minutes, by any person's watch in the company,

the date of the year, the day of the month, distinguishes

colours, how many persons there are present, ladies or

gentlemen, and to the astonishment of every spectator, will

answer any question in the four first rules of Arithmetick. To

conclude, any Lady or Gentleman may draw a card from a pack,

and keep it concealed, and the PIG without hesitation will

discover the card when drawn.

Those who doubt the truth of the above are informed in case it

don't answer every expectation the advertisement can excite,

and prove a real living Animal, shall have the Money returned,

or be at liberty to pay after they have convinced themselves

by seeing him perform.

To be seen in a convenient room under the western side of

Concert-Hall, Market-Street.

_Admittance, for grown persons, one Quarter of a

Dollar.----Children half price._

N.B. Strict attention paid to keep the place fit for the

reception of Ladies.
