We have before noticed the tastes of the people formerly for wax-work. In 1805 there was another curious collection in Salem. WAX-WORK. STREET and GROSE respectfully acquaint the Ladies and Gentlemen of Salem that there is now exhibiting at Washington Hall a new and elegant collection of well executed WAX FIGURES, (large as life,) consisting of the following characters, viz. A striking representation of the late unfortunate DUEL between General Hamilton, and Colonel Burr. In this interesting scene the General is represented as supported by his Second, after receiving the fatal wound, while the Second of Colonel Burr urges him to retire from the field. An excellent likeness of the Marquis De La Fayette. The Austere Father Frowning upon his DAUGHTER, finding her with her Gallant. The handsome Coquette. PROSPERO and CALABAN, a scene from the Tempest. OTHELLO and DESDEMONA: this scene is taken from Shakespeare's celebrated play of the Moor of Venice. Othello is represented as meditating on the murder of his amiable and beautiful wife.
