A lyric verse centers on a beloved with vivid eyes and beloved lips, praising her hands and beauty while confessing unspoken longing. The speaker laments unattainable love as dawn rises and stars mock his pain, insisting his love endures despite vanity.
A combustible editor at Vass clashes with the council clerk in a heated office dispute. The quarrel ends with a five shilling fine for the newspaper man who struck a servant. Reports note rival paper intrigue across Queanbeyan and Cooma amid drought and unpaid subscriptions.
A memorandum of agreement dated November 9, 1859, through labor agent S Adhlin of Sydney, binds J J Wright of Queanbeyan to Robert Jackson for twelve months as a bricklayer with wages of sixty pounds per year plus board or rations and conveyance costs.
