Successful Scientific Experiment
The rebels were electrified at Edward’s Ferry, the other day, by several severe shocks from Franklin’s battery.
Is that all the paper reported? No details of the how? The editor appears to have left his readers in suspense.
This caught my eye because the entire thing was a pun based on the Franklin’s battery. 🙂
Anxiously awaiting the “shocking” details…
I think the pun was the point. 🙂
