Ghostly floating corpses alarm Dover town readers
Residents along the river near Doverton Barracks witnessed dozens of decayed bodies drift along the water in coffins and grave clothes after being disinterred from a cholera burial site on Arsenal Island. Coroners collected thirty eight caskets while fears swelled of further coffins washing away as the island erodes.

Successful Confidence Operation on St Clair Street Swindle
A Pittsburgh Commercial report details a bold confidence scheme on St Clair Street near Penn where George Fox of Russelville PA was swindled of 1250 dollars. Fox, a rail man now teaching nearby, withdrew the funds from a local bank and was approached by three strangers who gambled on his funds and goods, promising delivery to the Allegheny Valley Depot. They produced a forged check from Lafayette Bank Cincinnati and fled with no arrest likely.

Mark Twain on Car Peddlers and Fidelity
A fragmented reminiscence blends Mark Twain quotation style with a comic scene of a car peddler hawking sensational books and sweets to travelers while the narrator clings to a poem idea. The piece pivots to a generic reflection on fidelity, friendship, and adversity, touching on moral warmth and tests of character before a sarcastic aside about total illness.
