It questions Susquehanna navigation costs, cites river improvement ideas, and lists former teachers now serving as ministers and legislators. Mention of Akon ex postmaster, postal issues, and Bucklen's Arnica Salve ends with a Lititz store ad.
A cautionary note warns of increased fire risk as dry cold weather arrives and of rising burglar activity with winter approaching. The piece urges vigilance about soot in stoves and brush fires and mentions Gov. Quay and the hopeful Cooper as examples of public figures signaling action.
