Men who held the office of hangman in France and England
A historical recount of executioners from France and England. It traces the Sanson family lineage in Paris, their hereditary role as royal executioners, and how the guillotine replaced the old methods during the French Revolution. It contrasts England’s system where the high sheriff delegates the duties to professional hangmen, highlighting notable figures like Calcraft and James Berry and their personal incidents on the job.

A Quaker Relic and Bowne House History
The Bowne House in Flushing, built in 1661, remains largely unaltered and is to be sold by Real Fetus Exchange in New York as a Bowne family heirloom. John Bowne, a 17th century settler, faced Quaker banishment, while descendants include Walter Bowne, mayor of New York. A separate piece recounts social scenes and a Washington Society lady's bold rebuke to criticism at a reception. The column also covers prudent farming advice urging Western farmers to grow their own food, store crops, and reduce reliance on distant markets, plus notes on horse blind spots and humane care.

The Solar System Motion and Early Arbiter Concepts
Astronomical notes discuss proper motion of stars and planets once thought parabolic but now seen as drift in space. The piece recounts historical figures and trials, including Fox and Bowne, tracing beliefs about celestial motion and personal fortunes through 1600s Holland and England. It also argues for arbitration in contracts as a peaceable settlement method.
