Innocent Granger Involved in a Farm Note Swindle
A Madison county farmer named Smith, friendly with neighbors, arranged a farm sale loan to Thompson. Over payments by Smith using cash and incoming funds, including his daughter Sal and others, Thompson pockets funds with high interest, while Smith proposes extra credits. The tale ends with Thompson exclaiming he is the biggest old scoundrel as money is settled. Separate Paris letter notes Courbet paintings forged in Switzerland and signed with private marks to show authenticity.

Sickly rat defeats healthy alligator in store spectacle
A Magazine Street drugstore kept a tame alligator named Crocky as a pet. To amuse customers a weak rat was placed in a box with the reptile. The rat bravely attacked, outmaneuvered the alligator, and after a back-and-forth struggle the rat prevailed. The alligator was humiliated and banished to the store, while the rat was freed to roam the shop. News from the New Orleans Times.

California can supply dried fruits to the nation
The piece notes New York alone imports prune value near 50,000 weekly, raisins surpass that, and total dried fruit imports exceed 15 million annually. It argues California could relieve dependence on foreign sources, with Alden evaporators at San Lorenzo and new plants at Sonema, Sacrament, San Leandro, and more. War is a newspaper like an army.
