Archaic Crime Tale Echoes Balaam Reference

The piece likens Gen Hazen to Balaam’s assistant as resolutions are framed and drop away in weeks. It suggests Charlestown crime was committed, not merely an arrest for complicity. It laments removing lamps to reveal a common monstrosity, per the Watchman, noting some folks remain easily satisfied.

The Ephrata lore reuses the headless ghost motif once more with references to Ichabod Crane and Bram Bones. The familiar tale, long a staple of spooky folklore, resurfaces as a light local cultural nod to classic fright.

Inauguration Report About Tilden Cleveland Hendricks Rises Doubt

A report suggesting Mr. Tilden will attend the Cleveland and Hendricks inauguration stirs mild sensationalism but appears lacking solid basis. The item presents rumors without verifiable evidence.

Cleveland and mugwumps in a shifting political mood

The piece reflects on Mr. Cleveland receiving mixed reactions from journals and Democrats in Buffalo and Albany.

Winter miscellany and railway notes from Rochester

A ponderous column of brief items spans winters woes luxuries and curiosity. It notes worries over postal cards in China, safety of buildings after collapses, Salini’s wine output, and right after, a long Rochester railroading feature praising consolidation of Boston and Maine with Eastern lines.

No Calm Acceptance of Change in Dix Era Observances
