Printing contracts and local politics in Princeton
In 1868 69 and 70 the Princeton Corporation saw bids for town printing with disputes over fair rates. The Clarion and Democrat claim printing serves the public good, while criticising rival Mr Calkins for not meeting advertised rates and use of political influence to secure contracts. The piece argues for equitable town printing unrelated to individual gain.

Henneh Simmons of Dale Spencer county was arrested in Boonville Warrick county on the 30th for murdering her newborn. Investigators found the infant's body in a neighboring well after her disappearance. She was not jailed due to warrant irregularities and fled with a friend to the Ohio River aboard a southbound steamer. Her maid Hannah Conner, recently married to Simmons, faced hardship after the husband deserted her upon learning of the pregnancy.
