Ferry Discontinued Cuts Brooksville Castine Link
County commissioners at Brooksville and Castine ordered the long established ferry shut due to legal licensing gaps and inadequate craft. The service, shared by Castine and Brooksville since 1862, failed to meet requirements and harmed local business. Officials plan to reestablish a licensed ferry, seeking a county license and a suitable vessel, with hearings in Stonington on a proposed highway project and property-owner impacts surrounding Main Street.

Potter Palmer and A. T. Stewart Deal Across Credit
In Civil War Chicago Potter Palmer sought $110000 of dry goods from A. T. Stewart. Stewart, sensing risk, feigned reluctance to extend credit but then handed Palmer 110000 in cash, asking for a receipt and inviting future business as he planned to take the next train home. The caper underscores sharp merchant tactics of the era.
