A lyrical piece traces a young Italian bride from joyful betrothal to departure from Italy, marriage rites in a vine shaded home, and finally her decline and death in a other lands. Enna New York.
In Chicago a young Irishman died after being run over by a hose cart en route to a fire. He was buried on Friday and his sister, an orphan, attended the funeral and collapsed from the shock, joining him in death as they lie side by side.
The narrator recalls a clear Rome day atop the Capitol with seven hills visible and no trees in sight but cyprus and stone pine. He notes workers in the Forum and Colosseum ruins, pale shadowy figures in ragged cloaks as ghosts of Romans in a ghostly forum.
The excerpt describes Rowe with bright tones and orange Nehen light shaping roofs and obelisks. It contrasts architecture and nature with shifting colors and prismatic shadows, and notes artists loving old Rome while contemplating living for art rather than humanity as Mrs. Stowe observes.
On last Monday Mr Mosher of Chester slipped from a wheat stack and struck a pitchfork handle injuring himself seriously. Mr Currier of Oakfield was badly hurt by a fork falling on his chest and puncturing a lung. A storm damaged a barn owned by Mr Qweno of Oak Grove, and Mr Hinckley of Braver Dun had a stack of wheat struck and destroyed. A horse near Fox Lake was killed. Dolye County Citizen.
A Irishman Patrick Nolan drowned himself in the river at St Paul a few days ago, at the same spot where a German girl had taken her own life a day or two earlier. The cause given is that his wife did not have his dinner ready in time.
A disputed census note from St Louis asserts 14 turns of the census near completion with St Louis as the West’s most populous city. The total is projected around 161000 with a 106 percent figure cited since 1850.
The Racine Journal reports Henry Sheldon suffered losses as nine wheat stacks and two oat stacks were burned, suspected arson. The fire wiped out about 1590 bushels of grain in one hour, a year’s yield. A man became so wrapped in thought he was tied and sent on a “train of ideas.”
A dialog about unfamiliar foreign lands prompts talk of a government situation involving Bill. The exchange hints at ignorance and bureaucratic concerns amid a lighthearted talk about distant places and people with unfamiliar experience.
The saying compares mountains and great men noting that lofty peaks seem higher when seen up close, yet true greatness remains best judged at a distance. It suggests restraint and perspective in assessing achievements and stature.
Reporters note that ongoing census work is expected to reveal a national population surpassing thirty two million, signaling growth beyond prior estimates and potentially affecting policy considerations.
Agricultural note from Triptree Wall England reports J J Mechi states pigs fatten best on coal ashes or cinders and that burned clay or brick dust can substitute. He warns pigs will gnaw brick walls without ashes and notes coal dealers often feed pigs successfully. A neighbor observed fattened pigs consuming ashes daily. The New Yorker cites the claim.
The article argues that cows, sheep, horses, and mules yield the best returns for skilled farmers. It cautions against growing only meat stock and advocates raising superior stock fed on rich perennial grasses with winter hay. It warns that overambitious meat or wool aims fail without proper nutrition and diligent care.
The Michigan Farmer notes the daily hay use is 3.12 pounds per 100 pounds of live weight. For 190 sheep about 7,500 pounds live weight implies 280 pounds hay daily for 180 days, totaling 25 tons. A Merino sheep at 75 to 100 pounds needs roughly a quarter tin of hay per day, with grain saving some hay but wool growth needing full hay plus grain.
