Weak Banks and Daguerreotype Discoveries Highlighted
A chaotic colonial era column notes banks in Ellsworth and Hallowell marked as weak while reporting on a Philadelphia inventor claiming to daguerreotype living lungs. It covers banking circs in Ohio, a petition to Congress for physician review, an invention offering colored pictures, a New York critic’s jab at Banks, and scattered local items including rail accidents, a bridge fire, and social notes from Boston and Cleveland.
