Wondrous African Beasts and Local Coal Trade Rumors
An exotic letter from Paris describes a vast African isle with gigantic birds able to carry a man, mountain tribes called Jeribotts with courtship and religious rites, and a dangerous ape. It also reports Irish debates against coal importers, mentions a sale of petrified dough curiosities and new filtration troughs from the Grand Canaries. Advertising notices follow for property near Portarlington, shipping to Philadelphia, and a Dublin shop selling drugs, remedies, and shoes with Thaddeus Gaddis offering ready made footwear and upstairs rental.
