A miscellany of brief items from Lowell and other cities recounts quirky news. Notes mention a college girls' modesty, a California apricot problem, a Virginia City building boom, a Bancock city naming homage, odd professions in Louisville, a Newburgh midnight gathering, and a New York author bid.

It also notes political mentions of Senator West and a medical case of tongue cancer in New York with smoking links, plus Senator Maxey’s steady senate influence and a Texas reelection view.
