Sowing by muskets and a burning town report
An odd claim describes sowing grain with muskets through rock openings. The Baltimore Gazette reports a new fire engine by Braithwaite Erickson, efficient and portable, used at Argyle Rooms.

A Buffalo Street fire in an earlier era destroys ten stores and multiple dwellings, with Oliver H. Perry and Johns Sail in the Concord’s crew noted.
