A long opinion piece reflects on Fanny Ferns writings and the influence of women’s role in medicine and society. It praises feminine gentleness as counter to harsh treatment, advocates coeducation, and urges joint study, work, and practice among the sexes to achieve happiness and reform.
The writer discusses Ohio legislative action and a Fremont mayor council ordinance on liquor sales. The piece notes a Sub-Treasury bill debate, party fault lines, and a militia bill’s fate, with a promise of further editorial response once copies of bills arrive. It questions motives behind the Fremont ordinance and hints at local political maneuvering and public interest in governance.
A letter argues the new Constitution limits licensing and municipal control over liquor sales. It contends the council lacks authority to ban sale by the drink, urging readers to defend free trade and resist monopoly. The piece critiques local advocates and cites state law, warning of overreach and selective enforcement.
The village weekly defers a detailed discussion on the prohibition of intoxicating liquors, noting others will likely address the ordinance. The editor invites readers to contribute short propriety notices, with free columns for both men and women who follow decorum.
On Monday morning the 14th both houses of the Ohio Legislature adjourned aine die amid reflections on the recent winter scenes of prodigality and rowdyism. In the Senate a Sub Treasury bill amendment failed, the Treasury department remains under existing laws, and the Auditor's printing claim was discussed and withdrawn. The House praised the session's mass of legislation and adjourned with cordial farewells, marking the first Legislature under the new Constitution.
The Sandusky County teachers announce a county Teachers Institute in Fremont from March 31 to April 2 to form a County Teachers Association, adopt a constitution, elect officers, and deliver daily addresses. Female teachers may attend free, with lodging provided on request. Everyone involved in education is invited to participate in universal education efforts. The notice notes major local bridges destroyed by incendiaries in Cohoes and Waterford.
We note Behiller's Wallenstein passage praising women's reasoning while mocking mere gab and venturing that a thirteen or fourteen year old girl can predict marriages and fashions. An evening exhibition by Mr J B Rice’s school pleased most, though a few rowdies spoiled order. A forthcoming concert by Mr Kurtxovesruen at Buckeye Hall promises notable music including pieces by Gungle Weber and Kleinguenther with 26 cents admission. We also announce the first issue of the Railroad Record edited by E D Mansfield from Cincinnati Ohio, outlining coin balances and money in circulation with tables and extracts useful to Ohio and the West.
The document notes a strong harmony between President Fillmore and his Cabinet, including Webster. It asserts continued trust and cordial relations among administration members, despite public speculation about personal or political tensions during the presidential race.
A long letter from Wasuisurox dated March 8 1863 commends President Fillmore for dedication and cabinet harmony while reflecting on official duty and friendship. It includes a humorous anecdote about deciphering a cryptic inscription and notes changes in civilization reaching the Far West with a piano and a cab humor piece. It closes with items on mortality, an auction scene, a snowstorm rumor, meat joke, and political moves related to Mazzini.
A humorous item contrasts domestic virtue with advertising death notices. It recalls a shop death notice from Fleet Street for Edward Jones, praised as amiable and upright, yet mocked for claiming his beaver hats and stock were sold cheap to aid his widow. The piece satirizes sales tone and widow's loss.
A quotation attributed to 8 Ponch draws inflammatory gendered comparisons, asserting the sun as masculine and the moon as feminine while linking the church to the state and Time to the Indies. Critics say the remark stigmatizes women and nontraditional metaphors, prompting calls for caution in public discourse.
A loquacious lady asks her husband if he has seen perpetual motion. He replies with gallantry. A gentleman is accosted by a loafer seeking charity. The loafer promises repayment, only to declare he deals on the cash principle.
