Fragments from a bustling era spark a curious collage
A jumble of snippets recalls storms in Wethersfield, oyster seasons, Brigham Young lumber theft rumors, a Pennsylvania man teaching a rattlesnake, a Norfolk house centennial talk, and odd vignettes from travelers and courts. The tone mirrors a busy old paper with varied items.

Foreign Gossip Sifts through Oddities and Notices

New Postal Cards Adopt Esign and New Stamp Design
The Post Office Department adopts esign for postal cards with new printing plates arriving in the city soon. The color is gray with reduced margins and standardized text. The upper left bears the monogram and Postal Card heading, the right corner stamp is nearly square with U S age, and the bottom reads One Cent. The center shows Liberty and the stamp ground is filled. Watermarking and higher quality paper will support increased consumption. A report by Assistant Postmaster General Barber notes 107,616,000 cards issued in the year ending June 30, a rise of about 18 percent from the prior year, while factory supply exceeds demand.
