Lost on Boons Mountain A tragic 1868 tale from Hickory Kingdom
A mother and her drunken husband travel Boons Mountain in fall 1868 with a baby and a work beast. Night storms, freezing rain, and a missing horse strand them. The husband dies on the ridge, the wife succumbs to exposure after leaving him to save the child, and the infant is later rescued and adopted. The incident ends with the child named Lyman Palmer and a note of annual taxes in Philadelphia.

The Catholic Candidate and Philadelphia Democracy
The Republic exposes a 29 member Democratic Executive Committee in Philadelphia, noting Catholics =16 and claiming control over city policy and state nominations. It says McCandless, a Catholic, is their candidate for Auditor General and questions his independence. Secretary Boutwell offers five twenty bonds for Dec 1 cashing, totaling $100 million, to fund retirement and debt reduction, promising interest savings and continued funding at lower rates to reduce national debt.
