Meigs County Telegraph in Pomeroy, Ohio

Fragmented 1856 news digest with war, emigration and loans

A highly garbled 1856 era newspaper fragment covers British and American political talk, war, and finance. It mentions Britain’s Parliament, French diplomacy, emigration to the United States, ship arrivals and quays, and a San Francisco customs settlement. It also notes a 1855 56 emigration tally, various bonds, life insurance accounts, and local notices. Several names and places appear in truncated form, including Berlin, Paris, Liver Albion, Hartford, and Des Moines, with scattered dates and amounts.
