Many persons have supposed that bull-fights were never to be seen except in Spain; but it appears that in June, 1809, according to an advertisement in the "Essex Register," there was to be a bull-fight on the Salem turnpike, near the "Half-way House" (to Boston). As there were no reporters in those days, we are unable to give an account of the exhibition.

The Boston Evening Bulletin of Wednesday last contains the following:—"A Card. If Mr. Edwin Forrest, the Tragedian, thinks that more effect can be produced by reading Tragedy than can be by reading from Scripture, Mr. Nazro, Instructor of Elocution, from Roundhill School, would deny it fully, and offers to meet him, Mr. Forrest, in any town in the United States, and read from Scripture, and Mr. Forrest shall read from Tragedy.Boston, 25th Feb., 1829."
