Portage Sentinel Fragment Avoxes Dying Our Weeping Bedtime Words
Fragment from the Portage Sentinel recounts a dying mother and crying siblings, interwoven with old songs and family tribute. It shifts to a historical meditation on attire of colonial figures, recalling Washington in velvet and a suit of Virginia spun home dress, with a closing verse about a mother’s prayer and a baby's snowflake hair.

Dr Cannon Cholera Remedy Advised By Two Trusty Men
A questionable cholera remedy attributed to Dr Cannon is vouched for by two credible men and includes oils and tinctures with opium. The ad suggests taking a ten spoonful dose every half hour during illness and increasing frequency if pain worsens. The clipping also notes a Louisville case where a husband lost his wife to cholera on the 14th and his new wife died a month earlier.

Senator Taylor and the Whig label in 1849 chatter
The item vents on Senator Taylor as a Whig and criticizes promise breaking before elections. It cites Rome letters on papal power, notes Morford’s San Francisco letter about Spanish, and reports California gold coinage figures from May to June 1849. It ends urging Whigs to speak their minds about California’s value and gold dollars.

Hair as a safety valve to nervous energy theory
Dr. Holland proposes a new theory linking hair to the nervous system as a safety valve and connecting nervous organs to universal forces. He claims hair fullness mirrors prevailing vital energies and that prolixity of the hair reflects energy levels. Senator Fonte of Mississippi prepares a reply to Col. Ben on his Southern doctrines facing rational opposition.
