Curious census ages and political jottings mix in brief items
In a neighbor county census many girls prove to be sixteen or younger with reports of twelve in one family. The piece notes Nelson’s eulogy of Johnson before his presidency and criticizes coverage of inauguration day. It mentions Capron’s anti dog stance and seven million “useless animals” incurring fifty million yearly. It cites Mercer’s expedition misfire, Train’s Dublin imprisonment, and a surge of self inflicted deaths. It closes with a note on the Quincy Whig sale to Ballache and Baker and a forthcoming possession.
