I hav written sevral very poplar obituary notisses ov the krow, but find
that i hav stated a good deal about them that wazn't jist so, and left
unsed mutch that waz true. The krow iz az cunning az a Tombs lawyer, and
just about az mutch ov a ded beat. Yu kant ketch one in a trap, and if
you should, yu could not bile one in a pot, soft enuff to eat, in 3
weeks. A tame krow, and a civilized injun, may be a moral triumph on the
face ov it, but when yu cum to examine the other side ov it, yu will
find that yu hav overdid the bizzness. If all the krows, and injuns, in
this world were tame and, civilized, yu could bid fairwell to all other
manuel, and mental labor, and spend all yure time, and talents, studying
the pesky, infernal kritters. Krows assemble in the fall ov the year, 30
thousand ov them, or more, in council, and appoint their deakons for the
following year. At this grate kawkuss, rezolushuns ov a inflamitory
natur are passed, daming the farmers for putting up skare krows in the
kornfields, plans are laid for next years stealings, and each krow
swopping wives, the meeting disseminates, and the krows fli away.
_HOLD!_
Dont keep but one dog, no one but a pauper kan afford to keep three.

If yu are going to make amuzements a stiddy bizzness, ketching flies iz
az good az enny.

Waz the only thing 'twould kure him,----
Liv on a jill of soup a day,
And they offered to insure him._
