North American Swanton Exiles and Prisons Chronicle
The issue details turmoil in Upper Canada and Montreal with political prisoners, royal pardons, and emigration. It notes the North American’s half-year progress, reader support, and plans to publish histories, biographies, and the Journal of a Political Prisoner. It reports on Le Patriote Canadien and Le Patriot, England’s exile acts, and the fate of many prisoners with blank entries for some names. It mentions Dr. M'Cormick's release and return to Newmarket, the Amistad case, and a Jefferson City prison murder verdict, all framed in a periodical sense.

Public dispute over Canada policy and North American criticism
Berkshire, September 3, 1899. In a letter to the publisher of the San American, a reader laments election results and attacks Democrats who align with Tories. He defends the North American for advocating emancipation in Canada, labeling Colborne and Arthur as tyrants and urging unity against despotism. He names Canada as tied to national politics and ends with a signed note.

Destructive Fire Devours National Theatre and Nearby Churches
A major blaze in New York yesterday afternoon consumed the National Theatre at Leonard and Church, with flames spreading to the African Methodist Church across the street and to the French Episcopal and Reform Dutch churches nearby. The fire damaged or destroyed the theatre, three churches, surrounding dwellings, and about 20 to 30 houses, due to embers and roof fires. Firefighting efforts and the extent of destruction prompted astonishment at the scene.
