  1. There once upon a time a family by the name of Noonans living in the New-castle west. They got in the Electric light early in the morning. They left on the light all day and when they were going to bed that night they wanted to put off the lights and they not know how to put it off. All the family stood around the light and began to blow it out, and it would not go out for them so they had to send for a man to put off the lights
