A poetic fragment by Felicia Hemans retells the Pilgrim Fathers landing on the New England shore. Exiles arrive not as conquerors but with steadfast faith, singing amid storms as the forest and sea welcome them. The verse contrasts hardship with devotion and the quest for worship and freedom.
Correspondence recounts early settlement along the Wisconsin River and Mississippi in Crawford County. Notes include Crauford County first settlers, the Prairie du Chien area, Fort Crawford history, Missionary Rev Alfred Bronson, and Copper Mine near Towerville. References to Lynxville, Towersville, and local villages, with details on transport routes and roads.
The article reports extensive floods in Russia with the Dniester and Dnieper causing damage and Kremenchug suffering. Sweden also experiences high water levels interrupting navigation, while Spring appears propitious for crops. It notes Sioux warriors crossing the Mississippi near Watah en route to Chippewa hunting grounds seeking revenge for a Maine Prairie massacre. It concludes with an estimate that one fifteenth of Britons are addicted to strong drink.
