In New England Farmer notes White Wyandots captivate practical poultry keepers, surpassing the Barred Wyandotte Rock for market form, egg production, and maternal traits.

The instructions describe making a hand lever with a cylindrical roll for a tool clamp. It uses block wood, a leather hinge, rubber belting, two 1x2 inch strips 20 inches long as ends, nails to form a stand, and a spreader from an old bed spring.
A collection of humorous anecdotes about historical figures like Dr. von Rokstansky, W. S. Gilbert, Coleridge, and the Duke of Wellington. The notes include jokes about professions, botany gags, a lion in a den of Daniels, and a naval episode with Schley and a hogshead of beer bottles viewed by Sunday school teachers.
In the narrative Schley is praised as a fine noble example and responds with modesty. He contributes a couple of dollars to the ward-room mess for the lost empty bottles that should have been returned to the bottler, turning the incident into light humor.
Notices and decisions cover priority of withdrawals in insolv ent loans, invalid chattel mortgages, tax judgment statutes, oil well adjoining owner rights, injunctions on corporate promissory notes, theater contract enforcement limits, and guest losses at a hotel banquet. Key cases cited include Gibson v Safety Homestead and Loan Assn, Fowler v Bell, Sherman v Langham, Elley v Ohio Oil Co, Sternberg v Wolff, Welty v Jacobs, and Amey v Winchester.
A Civil War anecdote recalls Schley ignoring Farragut’s recall signal to attack a Confederate fort. He pressed the assault until ruin appeared, provoking Farragut’s ire but earning praise for steadfast fighting spirit and later a private drink in the cabin.

A Chicago Inter Ocean reminiscence recalls Civil War volunteers and old foragers who prized fence rails for fuel and shelter. The piece contrasts rail fencing with barbed wire, discusses early three month volunteers reenlisting, and describes hardships of the Army of the Cumberland including the Nashville to Rosecrans campaign and a sergeant who fought on despite fever and wounds.
