A dramatic tale from the Boys' and Girls' Magazine recounts Voltamad and his horse rescuing fourteen sailors during a fierce gale at the Cape of Good Hope. After multiple heroic swims, the rider perishes, while the horse survives. East India Dealers honor him with a monument, and a moral urging honest labor over fraud appears in the text.
A set of satirical vignettes and anecdotes on conscience in court, a methodical housemaid, self-made men, and humorous quips. The pieces poke fun at religious scruples, diligence, and street wisdom through sketches by Durham Advertiser and Punch Almanack references.
A practical farmer describes seed corn preparation to resist depredation by animals. The method coats corn with tar and copperas, then dusts with lime or similar material and dries, promising good emergence.

The York American notes a name closely tied to the Navy’s bright history, promising to be recalled during daring hours of the mid watch.

Arrest details describe Adam Horn, suspected Baltimore wife killer, arrested in Letitia Court after suspicion and a tainted transfer request. Evidence includes a 999 year deed, a dated mortgage, and a peculiar blue coat, suggesting Horn’s guilt and motive to flee. The case hinges on witness testimony and circumstantial items found on him.
Adam Dorn was arrested on Thursday and faced a second hearing before Alderman Redman regarding the Ball County murder. David Paul Brown and Walton Engr appeared for Dorn, with further testimony from Rev. Burgess yielding no new facts.

The prisoner was committed for a further hearing pending governor’s stationery.
