A garbled society page lists meeting times for Aturlity Aurora and nearby communities, church services and pastors, and town officers. It mentions monthly gatherings on the first Monday and various local groups, with scattered names, locations, and times, amid a generally dated, fragmentary social-notice style.
A New York World overview details the Swiss Bern trial of Dr. Eriman Demme and Madame Trumpy for alleged murder by poisoning. It portrays Trumpy as coldly calculated, Demme as a brilliant but implicated figure, and cites expert testimony and anonymous letters, while noting public fervor and broader press reactions.
An orgy correspondent describes artillery trajectories at night showing mortar shells rising to about a mile, Parrott rifles reaching two to two and a half miles, and their arcs, speeds, and time of flight. The piece notes the tension of bombardment, civilian cover options, and a separate Nashville note on licensed dissolute women paying weekly taxes to the government.
Eugénie Perrault, a nine year old, gives bread to a cold hungry eight year old girl abandoned in Paris. Eugénie invites the girl home, caring for her as a sister with her mother and father endorsing the act. A French princess later sends a gift to the kindhearted child. The tale closes with a moral about courage and generosity in daily life.
A People’s Journal article urges home life built on mutual tenderness and gentle conduct. It argues that happiness comes from shared burdens, patient virtue, and constant kindness, not sensational flashes of emotion, fostering mutual confidence and Christian humility within the family.

Instructions on carving a carcass detailing steps from skinning to removing the backbone and chining the meat. A note on Dan Rice funding a memorial for Erie county soldiers. Brief items include a San Francisco divorce petition joke and aphorisms about marriage and advice. Ends with a stray prison view line references.
