Self supporting village schemes and Christian social reform
A critical review of essays by clergy on the Church of England self supporting villages for 300 to 400 families. It outlines a plan with shared capital repaid by inmate labour, schools and a church led by a superintendent, and notes strong religious aims alongside concerns about overmechanization and life’s spontaneous energy. It contrasts this with Christian ideals of universal fellowship and social uplift.

Telegraphic Dispatch on Fremont Duel Rumor and Eloquence
A Telegraphic despatch from the New York Tribune notes a near duel between Foote and Fremont after a dispute over Fremonts bill. The bill shielding Ritchie failed, adjournment followed after midnight, with drunkenness reported. A New Englander praises Rufus Chuate’s oratory vision as thunderbolt and cloudward ascent. Fame is an undertaker aiding the dead while barely aiding the living and the money measure of worth.
