The wonderful exhibition of a living, speaking Turkish head was exhibited on Saturday, a few doors above the post office on Main street, to as many as could gain admittance, and received the endorsement of all. It has been pronounced to be the greatest wonder of the nineteenth century. To the visitor it has the appearance of a living head, which talks, sings, whistles, etc., sitting upon the waiter on a table under which nothing can be seen. Aside from anything intended to have a leaning toward "puffing" this show, it is something which can not fail to excite the wonder of any who witness it. It makes think he can't believe his own eyes. The exhibit will continue for a few more days.
