The news and advertisements of early days were naturally quite different from what is found in current newspapers, as they reflected the customs of their time. One of the stories from Vienna told of the burning of several persons convicted of witchcraft, among them ‘“a_ midwife who had baptized 2,000 children in the name of the devil.’ A local item related the experience of a negro slave who struck a white man in an argument over a dog fight. The negro was sentenced to have one of his ears cut off “pursuant to the law in such cases.” Among the advertisements was one announcing the arrival of a cargo of “about 200 choice slaves, which will be exposed for sale on Thursday the 22d of this stant.” In its issue of October 21, 1762, the | In the evening, remove the from the bedroom windows so mosquitoes can get in to you.
