Amorous misadventures and odd anecdotes in a provincial column
A jumble of curiosities and jests from a New York gossip column, recounting a fashionable hotel inquiry about a boarder, a curious remark about pickles saving sugar, tales of a unhappy marriage between Jonathon and Miss Great Britain, farmyard humor, and a dozen quick sketches. It also notes a bemused doctor apologizing for a late visit, a clerical miscue about boiling water, a boy shown the martyr behind lions, and a sprightly exchange with Mrs. Johnson about a time with her son Joe. The piece closes with a sharp anecdote about Coleridge and a Durham turnpike wag joke.
Spiritualist exhibition and bones move in astonishing seance
The Spiritualists of New York host a sensational show featuring Dr Redman and Dr Orton claiming bones drop in various places as part of a miraculous display. A witness recounts a bone thought to belong to a neck vertebra appearing during a seance and the implied possession by a spirit. The tale is joined by other era curiosities from London to Springfield.
