A long, rambling collection of jokes, quips, partial anecdotes, and truncated news notes. The items reference varied figures and places with faded details, including politicians, farmers, actors, and a few local incidents, all relayed in a satirical tone with minimal context.
A disparate jumble of names and incidents from June includes Mrs Tonatall's claim of a nephew's betrayal in the Cluverius murder case, a note on TJ Cluverius, and scattered remarks about Ad dress publication, a fatal sentence, and a hospital transfer. Also reports on Grants health, postmaster appointments and a comic fragment about mourning purchases.
A group of six anglers gathered at a fishing tackle shop sharing odd tales from the countryside. A dramatic eel claim leads to a belt prize as shopkeeper ends the chatter and a government notice on judicial circuits and counties follows.

United States Marshal Jo. J. Lyons reports the bust near Jamestown in Flattens county Friday night. Four men Madewell and Stephens were arrested while the hidden still and one operative escaped. Officials Taylor Daf Walker Moore Freshour led the raid. First arrest by the new revenue administration.
