Governor Russell urged reform of Massachusetts State Prison
Governor Russell presents a detailed plan to reorganize prison management in Massachusetts. He argues the current system spreads power among warden, commissioners, and other officials, hindering discipline and accountability. He proposes abolishing the superintendent of prisons and granting the warden and the Prison Commissioners clearer authority, with the Governor retaining removal powers.

Bermuda Cricket Tour Ends With Draws and Social Bustle
The Philadelphia trio faced a tough Bermuda tour beginning March 10, recovering from sea legs to post a credible 168 in the first match as garrison hosts scored heavily. A hard-fought second game at St George yielded 266 for seven by the garrison and a possible American win, while the final clash ended in a draw after a mid game revival by Captain Caunter and Wentworth. The visitors enjoyed smooth weather and festive social scenes, and Bermuda hosts invited a spring return.
