It recalls four deaths in Russell County Virginia from poisoned butter, a Missouri disappearance and a recovered skeleton along the Mississippi river, and a long-missing girl enticed by a lover later found strangled and hidden near a creek.

Ex Gov Seymour Letter on Water Routes and Trade Policy
Ex Gov Seymour argues for low canal tolls and water routes to boost grain trade, warning against railroads' high charges and boasting Erie Canal gains. He cites comptroller data, European markets, and America’s need to keep railways in check while expanding waterways. He warns missteps could cripple national credit and industry. In a separate note, observations on myopia in students link eyesight trends to education, recommending lighter study loads for younger pupils.
