Old Mill Reflections and a Farm of Giants Skeletons

Poem about returning to childhood haunt the old mill contrasts with a Cayuga New York farm discovery. Men dig five to six feet uncover two hundred giant skeletons, stone pipes, axes, and beads amid a site hinting at a lost precolonial city. A mastodon bone find earlier fuels locals’ curiosity as visitors flock to view the ghastly pit and speculation of buried treasure.

Vermonter Ducks Town Bullies in Hudson River Showdown

In a small town near Albany on a clear October day, a muscular Vermonter from Vermont intervenes when local youths in green jackets challenge him to throw a stone farther into the Hudson. After wagering ten and then twenty dollars, he calmly defeats the bully by hauls him into the river and repeats the feat, drawing roaring laughter from his spectators. The crowd jeers as the Yank strips to his shirt and bets again, promising a third successful throw.

Printing in Boston and a note on the earths interior

The text discusses early Boston printing with Benjamin Harris and Richard Pierce, referencing historical acts and printers. It then shifts to a late 19th century reflection on newspapers, advice to youth, and a scientific note on Earth’s interior, explaining that the crust rests on molten material, with temperature rises of two degrees Fahrenheit per hundred feet and potential temperatures near three thousand degrees at twenty miles depth.

Turning a galvanic battery into a detective tale

An old case recalls Maj r Stone of the Fifteenth British Hussars in India whose gold watch chain vanished from his drawing room. He gathers servants and uses a fearsome threat of a hidden battery shock to extract confession. The plot shocks the superstitious, leads to fear and a death, and ends with the policeman pressed into action amid a tense pursuit.
