Indianapolis Locomotive (Newspaper) - October 7, 1848, Indianapolis, IndianaAn anecdote occurred at a hotel in this City n few Days ago which certainly exceeded anything of the season. The landlord having just Laid upon the floor of i Reading room a new Oil cloth carpet Hud provided several handsome Spittoon for the accommodation of the lovers of Iho Weed. The room being filled with persons on the evening referred to and among them was quite a number of tobacco chewers who is �3 generally the Case were squirting at random Over the carpet with but one honorable exception who invariably used the Box. This was noticed by a Green Sun who was standing by a Friend of the landlord who thought i10 would be doing him a great kindness by informing him of the depredation Iho gentleman was committing upon the Nice Little Box.

The last vessel that left the Toast a us obliged to ship an entire Crew and pay each fifty dollars n month.
