A long miscellany piece reports a New York correspondent tale about a fancy combination lock and a playful anecdote on a stubborn safe. It includes a satire on English spelling and a string of local notices and humorous items from various cities, with brief quotations and curiosities.
A miscellaneous column extols good neighbors and peaceful streets, contrasts with quarrelsome households, and recounts odd vignettes including a butcher practicing animal magnetism, a suit for breach of promise, a tutor in alphabet misfires, a prophesied New World exile of Louis Philippe, and public notices of fires, debts, and a court martial outcry.
A rustic tale traces Uncle Zekiel driving fit oxen to Brighton to sell them for sixty dollars. Buyer Si questions security, but Zekiel recalls a promise of silver payment, guarded by a hoard from saddle bags. The episode ends with trust in an apparently honest man and a cautionary note on gullibility.
