The New Spaniard and the Watch-Tog of the Treasury
An odd column mixes political boast and Shakespearean allusion with news of a proposed speaker and fiscal posture. It references Henderson as likely House speaker and compares opinions on appropriations to a dramatic aside, followed by a lengthy, curious ad for a bottled water brand "A Mono-Hydride" and a sales pitch from Duerler Co.

Cure for Relumatism Promoted by Elder Whitmer
A sensational claim is printed in the American Deo Journal as Eldee Whitmer credits a cure for rheumatism to an unnamed method. He says his own cure began after partial paralysis and numbness from acratic rheumatism vanished following a single approach, with the elder then performing a skirt dance and asserting the cure would work for others.

Cobweb pictures wow crowds by a rural Italian artist
Anthony Bratty of Mymouth Montgomery county Pr creates cobweb pictures, a strange art he has practiced two years. His work, including a webbed “face” and “battle scene,” has begun to draw attention, though he remains modest in appearance and dress. Others note a remarkable beard story and rising Christian Science movement statistics in Boston and beyond.
