Washington Inauguration 100 Years Ago Aboard History
The account recalls Washington’s 1789 inauguration at Federal Hall with Livingston borrowing a Bible from St John's Lodge after a delay. Cannon roared as he took the oath, then proceeded to St Paul’s Church for Te Deum prayers with Chaplain Provoost. The era’s ceremony featured regalia, ceremony, and street pageantry amid early republic rites.

Judge Puzzele and Witness Confuse Court Over Soberness
A witness testified about a party’s sobriety in court last week. She first said the party was not sober, then corrected herself, saying the party was perfectly sober. The judge seemed puzzled by the remark's intent. A Somerville Journal aside asks about marrying a minister for a big fee and notes a tavern sign hanging on one side.
