Mortuary notes and a blunt pay dispute at West Meriden
In the Great Barrington Courier mortuary column four deaths are recorded with an average age above 91. A Connecticut court case exposes a stingy $1,800 annual clergy salary reduced to $600 for Rev. Worcester’s West Meriden Baptist services. A reader’s London to Boston query meanders through imagined delivery delays and cable timing, ending with a joke on transatlantic communication.

Sir Roger de C and the Reinvention of Grace
A literary portrait notes how a character named Sir Roger a de C. loses courtly elegance in England through Christmas rioting, yet Italy promises restoration. The piece recalls Sir Roger as Sir Roger de C. in playful disguise, likening him to Beery of Flaxley and to historical figures once celebrated by Pepys and Charles II.

Letters of the People and reader queries from 1883
A Boston Post readerful page includes letters debating Vanderbilt ball wealth claims, a grammar question about singular versus plural usage, a complaint about a Chinaman laundry check and delay, and a snow-depth report. The exchange cites New York valuation figures and Boston tax notions, plus a note on linguistic intent and a local gripe about service delays. The Snow piece records winter snowfall totaling 6 inches with a 41 year run and invites rival records.
