A fragment from a Savannah Journal item recalls a wife reading her husband's letter and the shock of its contents, then shifts to a brief joke about a printer's nine year subscription bill and a city rector's social tidbits. The page also mentions European snow sledge fashion, Central American dispute commentary, and brief humor exchanges about a normal settlement misunderstanding.
A Pennsylvania bill reported in the legislature proposes selling the state's public works for not less than 20 million dollars. Delware division canal priced at 2.5 million, main line Philadelphia to Pittsburg 12 million, Susquehanna and North Branch division 5 million, West Branch 0.5 million. The piece ends with aphorisms about industry and motion.
A great apple tree in Litchfield Connecticut owned by Solomon Marsh measures fourteen feet around the trunk and is 130 years old. It yielded twenty bushels of delicious apples last season, with a long history of nearly 100 bushels per year before 1835. The tree was brought from Hartford by early settlers. An editor asks subscribers to contribute to a similar playful effort.
