A CURIOSITY.

E. COPELAND, Jr., has for sale a most elegant Gold SNUFF BOX

set with Pearls, &c. It is about 2½ inches long and from the

top a beautiful _little Bird_ rises at command and sings a

tune. The movements of the wings, beak, eyes, &c. are

perfectly natural, and all its motions while singing are in

complete unison with its notes. This is probably as

ingenious a piece of mechanism as was ever seen in this

town. It will be sold a great bargain.

is thereby enabled to sell his different kinds,
