Oddities across the globe and curious legends

A string of bizarre items from Austria to Maine notes age defying peasant deaths, long vanished heirs in Harmony Texas humor, a Kentucky name change for a son, a Sun day bottle sign in Cincinnati, and oddities from chess terms to a camelot of curious happenings. The column spans railways, tin smelting, lightning kills calves, a nursing cat with a rat, college presidents who play tennis, and a bear tale alongside a joke about a pocket telephone. It closes with curious court actions, a canal obstruction and a street scene in Albany.
