Fragmented excerpts blend a Civil War tableau with a comic tale of Sally Brown and Mike, a Bethel meeting, and a puddle misadventure. The piece shifts to social notes on colors, chess and Franklin, then public health mortality tables, and ends with Wisconsin farming society law and 1868 state approval.

The Subduer's Anecdote Of A Yorkshire Horse Trainer
A North of England yeoman famed for horse breaking relates a tale of a colt stubborn on the high road. After hours of patient effort, the master sent a keeper to fetch dinner, then supper, and finally provisions for a midnight meal. The horse finally yielded, obeying his master without whip or spur. In a separate note, about 25 000 volumes were found in the Capitol basement, stored long ago and badly damaged by time and filth.
