Odd Tales and Wit From The New York Ledger and Local Papers
A column compiles quirky snippets from 19th century papers. It recounts a sword tale linked to a pawnshop and Muramasa lore, dancing mice behavior, a storm-warning Irish anecdote, Boston’s umbrella skeptic Uncle Noah, a Caribou dentist quip, and a parable about a pig’s death followed by a cat’s lardered theft, ending with a parish clergyman’s amused observation.
