Brigham Young's polygamy stories and gossip in Salt Lake
In Salt Lake a New York letter recounts Brigham Young and his polygamy circle. It describes Cannon as a polygamy healer, Brigham’s wives, Townshend House, and the social scene around the hotel. The piece portrays complex marriages, proxy wives, and local gossip about Amelia and other figures, ending with hints of court cases to come.

Michigan Towns Devastated by Lake Michigan Fire
A massive lake fire in east Michigan swept Forestville White Rock Elm Creek Sand Beach and Huron City while Rock Falls Port Austin and Port Hope suffered partial damage. Five children died and thousands donated for relief as telegraph lines and many buildings were destroyed. The relief mission brought fifty women and children to safety and Hope College professor Charles Scott perished. A stirring anecdote concludes with a rural parable about faith amid tragedy.
