Smuggling Suit and Bible in Public Schools Debate
In New York the Claflin & Co. smuggling case opens with defense arguing possession of smuggled goods lacks culpability without proof of when or where they were obtained. Reports note failures of Isaac Myers & Co. and Etrosa, Lemon & Co. with massive liabilities and English and German debts. A Cooper Union event advocates reading the Bible in public schools amid colorful speeches and clashes over Protestant and Catholic symbols. Other items include a vivid Pompeii relic description and a health note praising Hostetters Bitters.

Ancient stone ruins found near Port Gibson raise interest
About eighteen miles from Port Gibson and near Brandywing Springs a large stretch of ancient stone blocks was discovered on Mr Quin's land. James Gage Jr retrieved a roughly three by twenty inch sandstone block from beneath pine roots, part of a long wall traceable 250 yards. The find suggests a possible remnant of a fort, temple, or building, with great antiquity likely predating earlier inhabitants. Further study is hoped to reveal more, promising insight and profit.

Raise wages and the case for a gold standard economy
An opinion piece argues for higher wages tied to currency stability, warning that confidence and a ready stock of houses, tools, roads, and food exist but are underutilized. It asserts that only a return to specie payments will revive investment, raise wages, and restore enterprise, contrasting with inflationary threats and the London marriage market’s social costs.
