Love and sausages tale from the Cincinnati Gazette
A humorous 1830s clipping recounts a young man named Jonathan who travels, courts, and travels to propose to his beloved in Cincinnati. After visiting a refreshment house he buys oranges, pockets a bundle, and accidentally drops a bag of sausages into his lover’s lap, prompting a comical scene as her parents arrive and he flees, leaving the sausages with her. The item also cites anecdotes about Elizabeth of Russia, a French court officer, and political letters from 1830 era.
