Quiet year across nations ends 1875 with peace and reflection
A Boston era weekly notes the twelve months as unusually quiet globally, praising the absence of major wars and viewing the year as a protest of civilization against barbarism. It mentions Nelson Lowell’s fatal New Year’s Eve fall, municipal debt focus in Massachusetts, and a completed work by the late Vice President on The Rise and Fall of the Slave Power, with calls for reform in politics.

Notable Ex Governor Clifford Honored in Mourning Obit
The article mourns Ex-Governor Clifford of Massachusetts, praising his stand against wage reductions by the Boston and Providence Railroad and his willingness to sacrifice half his salary for workers. It contrasts his character with others, notes general contempt for premature judgments, and includes a Milwaukee reader’s weather prognostication tale along with a New York Letter previewing 1876 Appleton publications and a playful note on New York papers Sun and Tribune.

Bristol Tiger Cat Story From Revolutionary Times
Two Lieutenant Benjamin F. Tilley of the U S Navy joins the Hartford flagship under Mullany and sails from Norfolk for Port Royal to patrol the West Indies for Cuban contingencies. A 106 year old Bristol resident, John Bullock, died after a long life dating to 1769, noted for work, honesty and voting history. Town Council and probate court actions reviewed, including guardianships, accounts, and appointments. A tale of the tiger cat, a night prowler blamed for killing dogs in Bristol during the Revolutionary era, survives in local memory with a dramatic account of a near-miss with a flintlock gun.
