It notes improvements at the Lunatic Asylum and Deaf and Dumb Institute, calls for a new building, and argues for compensating trustees. It also covers state tax law, school funding, militia readiness, and land policy shifts, with reference to William Medill’s Columbus address.

It warns at length about North-South divisions and predicts government support, while reporting Democratic nominations at Columbus for Norris and Miller.
