A rambling tract pleads for cash transactions over trust sales arguing that credit fosters oppression and bankruptcies. It condemns delaying payments to workers and artisans, urging a community shift to cash for fairness and moral integrity, with a parable of a struggling couple illustrating restraint and honesty.
An old Rochester column recounts a New Foundland and Saint Bernard mix praised for dignity as a street quarrel ends with a stern paw from a watchdog known as the Peace Maker. It also recalls Matty Morrison the Scotch minister humorously baptized a puppy, plus quips about a good wife compared to clocks and town bells.
A Coventry dye house tour reveals vast silk and wool production linked to global trade. Observers note mulberry cultivation in Lombardy and Lebanon, and describe processes from silkworm to ribbon weaving. The piece contrasts silk's world reach with local dye-house details and historical curiosities about silk's spread.
The article narrates a dye-house scene with pebble-brick sheds, copper pipes, and wooden troughs where raw silk moves through hot and cold water loops. It describes grinding, bleaching, and dye processes, with weights, gum removal, and alchemy of mordants, plus King Charles I’s concerns about deceitful dyeing practices and evolving color innovations driven by Brazil wood and indigo dyes.
