At the twenty sixth annual New England Agricultural Society meeting, Col. Nexonax notes Western crops are large but money value favors New England. He says corn and wheat fetch more money in New England due to living costs, urging relieved farmers to return to deserted farms as profits improve. The talk emphasizes farming viability and regional resilience.
The author argues race antipathies are greatly exaggerated and far stronger antipathies exist within a single race between good and bad individuals. He asserts hostility between a respected professor and a student can surpass that between average whites and blacks.
A compact treatise argues for reducing divorces by aligning marriage with mutual comfort and purpose. It rejects the idea that love alone sustains marriage, emphasizes companionship and noble duty, and condemns forced or unjust unions. It cites spiritual and social aims, urging marriages based on shared life goals and support.
A reader letter argues unions merit contempt and cites flawed motives behind marriages. The author suggests appointing a court to judge fitness for marriage and banning unions unless couples are physically capable of healthy, virtuous, and mentally sound companionship.
A garbled notice promises readers prizes of 100 990 and 40 for solving the mystery titled The Bent to the Pane. Readers are urged to send solutions before March 1 and renewing subscribers are warned that prizes require active subscriptions. The piece then shifts to notes on public speaking methods by Mr Davien, stressing thorough study, knowledge of the subject, and preparation, along with examples and reflections on extempore and prepared orations. It closes with a brief, opaque sketch about a mysterious figure in Africa seeking to marry, detailing his absence from civilization and rumored romantic exploits.
Curiosities in name records show unusual spellings and long names in older English registries. Examples include Hath, Laub, Jordan, Dear, Stajth, and a famously long name linked to a patron saint, with notes on name diversity, printing oddities, and social customs.
A jumbled prose piece recalls a departed traveler on a train, a newsboy delivering Looking Backward, and a flood of scattered names.
