Strong for U S Senator Nomination in Pennsylvania
The Pennsylvania Independent Journal discusses the upcoming U S Senate election set for January 13, 1857. It nominates William Strong of Reading as a capable, honest candidate and urges Democrats to elect the best man, while noting recent notices about Morse and Mehaffey’s Minnesota moves and a New England magazine venture. It also covers Virginia voting issues, a Navy officer’s suicide in New York, and a Providence bank clerk’s $20,000 defalcation.

Audubon’s damaged portfolio by rats sparks renewed effort
In a vivid anecdote, Audubon returns home to find his treasured drawings box gnawed by Norway rats that have reared a whole brood among the papers. The shock unsettles him, yet he recovers, resumes work, and for three years steadily rebuilds his portfolio through renewed sketches, notebooks, and hunting.
