In a charged political piece, exhortations urge Whigs and citizens to vote, rallying “Old Men, Young Men, Rally” and condemning poll blocks. The column reports a murder in Buffalo, a Massey shooting, a Davis arrest, census figures for Erie County, postal rate contrasts, and various political opinions on Harrison, Van Buren, and Jefferson, with headlines from papers and protests across states.
A satirical letter questions party prospects and national politics while criticizing government food for sailors. It notes four bread specimens sent to the Log Cabin and claims the bread contains worms, challenging Whig assertions about the Sub Treasury party and labor conditions.
A bustling note from the era reports two hundred English farmers gathering for Illinois, steamship routes beating signals to New York, and a dire Armenian earthquake near Mount Ararat. It cites vast rail and telegraph improvements, St Petersburg dispatches, and election security measures with detailed steps for ballot sealing and inspector duties.
A cryptic October 29, 1940 note requests a person to furnish 30 cords of good hard waxed wood, with payment terms mentioned. The writer expresses concern about promisers and mentions calling on someone for the case, indicating a formal request or bargain in a wartime or trade context.
An agitation for readers of the New World announces a second volume in quarto form, available from June. The publisher cites growing circulation and lists notable contributors including Dickens and Longfellow, while promising neutral political coverage and broad literary content for subscribers. Terms are five dollars annually, with post-paid letters and agent commissions noted. A printing apprentice is sought at the Winchester office.
An 1840s ad lists a New York supplier offering dry goods, linens, groceries, drugs, and hardware at low cash prices, alongside a mortgage sale notice for Henry and Mary Franklin of Leon. The sale, to satisfy debt, occurs April 15 at the Lodi House in Persia, with a land parcel described in lot thirty five.
An early 19th century advertisement extols Brandreth's Pills as a universal remedy for pain and aging. It warns of counterfeit pills and lists authorized agents in various towns, urging buyers to verify signatures and authenticity within the past year.
