Destructive Ice and Flood Devastate River City Streets
A fogged Mississippi flood paralyzed St Louis with thick ice and rising water. Dwellings are banked to second floors, streets blocked, and the river is spanned by shattered steamers. Levee work and salvage efforts dominate daily life as boats sink or wreck under the ice.

Debates on Small Bills and Specie Currency Rise
The piece discusses state legislatures weighing bans on small bills, a shift toward specie currency, and a decline in bank paper circulation by about thirty million dollars. It argues the shift strengthens internal prosperity, stabilizes prices, and reduces speculative risk while praising domestic banking growth and national economic momentum. It also mentions a donation event for Hey Daniel Stansbury and a school term starting March 16 with admissions.
