A rambling item notes Col Daniel S and Lamont in Bar Harbor, a Seabright cottage, and plans to ride the Sandy Hook steamer.

It also mentions a pensioner ex-soldier, farming, stock, and a poker club building. It closes with an ad blurb for Hood's Sarsaparilla and a Sun notice offer with ten words free.

Also references Dayton trips, tailor offers, and a three day free room rental notice in The Sun.
