A Wisconsin paper presents a satirical Oshkosh anecdote about a missionary’s failed frontier foray and local depravity. It also notes a telegraph blunder swindling a merchant, a charity plate quip, and declares General Garfield’s unopposed nomination by acclamation in Ohio.
The piece blasts the 1867 Ohio General Assembly for repealing a law that allowed crippled soldiers at the National Asylum in Dayton to vote, accusing Democrats of disloyalty to Union veterans and asserting the Republicans protected veterans' rights. It contrasts with editorials defending the move and cites a 1866 vote dispute at the Soldiers' Home and the subsequent Dayton law. Also included is a separate note on business success and practical farming tips.
The piece warns farmers to keep good household records, protect tools, repair fences, and avoid cheap purchases and neglecting stock. It urges knowing soil, suitable crops, optimal timing, and proper storage. It notes people like Qolfax and David Stiles, aging Freemasons, as historical mentions.
