THAT Mr. _Stetson_, on leaving the SALEM HOTEL, shut the door
after him, is probable enough: it is what is expected of every
well-bred man on leaving any house; but
_GRAY & CARTER_
beg leave to inform the public that the _door_ is now _opened_
again, and though the Hotel is not so spacious as the
_Prince_-ly Mansion of their neighbour, yet being an old and
well accustomed Stand, they flatter themselves that those
gentlemen who have long frequented it, will not discontinue
their custom, as no pains will be spared to accommodate
Parties--Fire Clubs--steady Boarders, and all who may honor
the house with their company. --> Particular attention will be
paid to Gentlemen's Horses and Carriages.
July 13 [1814].

We seldom hear nowadays of so scandalous an act as is here set forth;
although there was a time in England when it was proved that murders were
committed solely for the purpose of selling the bodies of the victims to
surgeons for dissection.
