* * * * * _Speaking Figure._ THE Proprietor respectfully informs the publick that his exhibition will remain in _Boston_ until sold or removed to _New-York_. More fully to gratify the curiosity of the publick, the Speaking Figure is moved to a part of the room which intirely removes the suspicion of any one being concealed in the chimney.--Those who wish to see this most pleasing phenomenon of art will please to call soon, as this will positively be the last day. Those who have viewed the exhibition in its former situation will be charged half price for re-admission--those who have not, are admitted at 1_s_6. each, from 3 o'clock in the afternoon until 9 in the evening, by the Publick's most obedient, SAMUEL PRINCE. _Boston, Oct. 16, 1790._ _Columbian Centinel._ * * * * * We frequently find in old Boston papers advertisements of rare beasts to be exhibited,--in December, 1800, a "Beautiful Moose," and in August, 1801, a "Beautiful Lion." [Illustration] _TO THE CURIOUS._ A beautiful African LION, To be seen every day in the week (Sundays excepted) in _Brattle-street_, next to Major KING'S, near the _Market_, where a very convenient situation is provided for those Ladies and Gentlemen who may please to favor the proprietor with their presence. THIS noble Animal is between three and four feet high, measures eight feet from nostrils to tail, and a beautiful dun colour; 11 years old, and weighs near 500 wt.--His legs and tail are as thick as those of a common size ox. He was caught in the woods of Goree, in Africa, when a whelp; and brought from thence to New-York. Great attention has been paid in providing a strong substantial Cage, and to have the Lion under very good command. The person who has the care of him can comb his mane, make him lie down and get up at any time; and it is said by those who have seen Lions in the Tower of London, and many parts, that he is really worth the contemplation of the curious. --> _Admittance 25 Cents.--Children half price._ Aug. 13 [1801]. _Boston Gazette._ [Illustration] _A Beautiful MOOSE._ THE curious in Natural History are invited to Major KING'S Tavern, where is to be seen a fine young MOOSE of sixteen hands in height, and well proportioned. The properties of this fleet and tractable Animal are such as will give pleasure and satisfaction to every beholder. _Price of admittance, Nine Pence._ _Dec. 9, 1800._ _Massachusetts Mercury._ * * * * *
