Extracts of Humorous Folklore and Wit from 18th Century Quips
A collage of antiquated jests and social observations, echoing cartoonish dialogue and pithy maxims. Stories feature a waiter, a nurse, a lawyer, and a Dutch witness among others, with sly quips on manners, marriage, and language.
Ohio Act Allows Sidewalks in City Limits
An Ohio General Assembly act permits constructing sidewalks up to ten feet wide on public highways within city township limits. It imposes fines of two to five dollars and liability for damages if sidewalks are injured or obstructed and directs collected fines to township schools. The act takes effect after passage.
