The Thelititz Record laments timely press deadlines and riffs on spring. It rails at editors hoarding poetry while noting a rumored Indian war and a blizzard in Fredericksburg. It mocks Salvation Army pretensions and comments on trades training, ghost sightings, hangings, and Girard College hoax.
A miscellany notes snow tally, clergy marriage ruling, a fatal prize fight in Dubois Pennsylvania, corrections to a past surprise party, and school news from Lititz Pike School Manheim township. Local attorney Owen Beicker visits Lancaster office east King street for consultations.
Historical summary from 1852 minutes tracks Lititz Independent District formation, early directors such as Samuel Gichtenthaeler and Francis Rauch, and teachers at the primary school opened in 1853. It notes tax levies, pupil counts, and teacher salaries through 1867 plus a local Moravian Church membership update.
Vendors urge orders for spring monuments and gravestones to avoid delays. Also advertised are cork shavings for beds, Dr Perrin herbs, Mica Axle Grease, soaps, baking soda, corn starch, prepared foods, nursing bottles, combs and brushes, cigars, meat preservation products, walking sticks, and a Lititz Drug Store tour with clerk Mr Sicling offering assistance.
