The Canine Sulphate and the Clever Doctor Scam
A Philadelphia Times tale describes a "sweet sixteen to twenty five" woman who feigns concern for her violent husband to gain private confinement at a hospital. She recruits a doctor, deserts him after a staged scene, and a hospital attendant is framed and dismissed. The episode ends with a public farce in fashionable circles. A second item recounts a singing preacher and a comic mule-ride exchange. A Worcester Transcript note mocks a New York surgeon promoting a dog remedy with grand ads and clergy freebies, promising a sensational storefront and court action in February.

Mechanical Cooking Principles and Historical Notes
A dated miscellany discusses cooking methods for beef and mutton, praising quick searing to seal juices, and slow simmering to retain flavor. It contrasts boiling with simmering, explains albumen loss in water, and notes early observations on lucifer matches and literary lottery chatter with references to Webster, Douglas, and Lincoln era figures.
