Prussian impostor and crimes amid potato disease reports
A dubious claimant presents as a Prussian nobleman with letters from the Duchy and a possible connection to a New York murder case, lodging at a hotel in Allentown and leaving unpaid bills. The piece also covers potato blight destroying crops, a shoplifting case in Barre, religious Millerite notes, Dr Lardner’s entertainments, a fatal wagon accident in Providence, church and civic details, and a sea chart correction from the Phenix ship.
