Pigeon Mountain eruption stories and wild field notes

A letter from the Augusta Chronicle describes a living volcano on Pigeon Mountain in Walker county Georgia near Lafayette. Earthquakes, a brilliant light from the crater, and rising smoke and ashes follow, with springs vanishing and the depth of the crater uncertain.

Bridge Destroyed on Central Railroad in New Jersey

A bridge on the Central Railroad near Bloomfield was burned and destroyed on Saturday night. The fire spread rapidly wrecking a 150 foot trestle with four piers, but passenger service was not interrupted thanks to quick arrangements to run trains on either side. A crew worked to rebuild, with completion expected in about ten days. A separate notice reports Rev. Benaine McPhail of the Presbytery of Sunfield and Worcester area committing suicide by jumping from a steamer deck. A local flood and railroad washouts caused damage to tracks and rolling stock, with horses and goods losses noted. Further items include market prices for flour, wheat, corn, and potatoes, and various advertisements for medicines and household products.
