Log rolling on Manistee river spectacle tests lumbermen agility
The Times and Standarte describes a log rolling contest on the Manistee river near Moanwater. Lumbermen used spike poles and boots to gain leverage as they jostled atop sixteen inch logs, whirled them through foamy waters, and battled to stay atop while spectators watched from the banks. The Wheeler brothers were evenly matched until a vessel strike caused one to fall, ending the dramatic test of balance and strength.

Railway Foreclosures and Receiverships Result in Large Losses
The Railway Age reports six months of foreclosures selling 32 miles of lines totaling 2,580 miles with debts of 78.71 million and capital of 19.10 million. Receivers appointed to 16 roads cover 2,222 miles with 31.0 million debt and 38.36 million capital. Proceedings on 2,217 more miles involve 45.0 million indebtedness and 46.0 million capital. Total liquidation reaches 7,215 miles and 129.0 million debt against 11,422 miles and 775.4 million for 1876. Public dogs in the pound are shot after a few days if not claimed, a practice condemned.
Died for Ragland in Scutari Cemetery Tale
A fragment recounts the Scutari Turkish cemetery near Constantinople, where 8,000 nameless English dead lie beneath cypress groves and memorial stones. It contrasts a sunlit burial ground with a grim hospital nearby where Florence Nightingale tended the wounded. The piece moves to a Florence correspondent note on echoes of England and a reflection on a solitary inscribed slab. It also mentions a French anti tobacco study and then shifts to wool production statistics, noting major wool-producing regions and rough global yields and losses.
