A Tale of a Nose on a Midnight Hudson Steamer
A dream tale aboard the Dewitt Clinton describes Aunt Deborahs warnings about prudence and a nosed tragedy. The narrator endures a nightmare of torturous grinding on a night boat to New York, then awakens to find his Kentucky neighbor sleepily pressed his fist on his face. The piece ends with a comic moral about not overestimating one’s nose or sleeping in crowded steamship cabins.

Scarcity of Hay Causes Cattle Deaths in Calais Me
The eastward hay shortage is severe with many cattle perishing. In Calais, Maine, 130 head died, a stark example of the crisis. The day’s papers discuss the French Indemnity issue, noting M. Bignon’s bid to set twelve million as the maximum due, a move seen as a tactic to lower the bill’s support.
