Decoration Day and Grand Army of the Republic critique
A konservative critique denounces the Grand Army of the Republic for politicizing Decoration Day and excluding Confederate graves. It laments postwar bitterness, defends floral tributes to all fallen soldiers, and predicts the GAs eventual decline. The piece also notes postmaster postage changes effective June 30 1873 and surveys 19th century newspaper topics and events.

Sentinel to Launch Daily in Fitchburg Mass
The Fitchburg Sentinel plans to start a daily edition, with a positive outlook from local echoes. Earlier attempts paused after four months, but renewed enthusiasm follows. A witty exchange about daily papers and a quip about avoiding accidents with stoves closes the note.
