First settler tale of catamount chase in Paris Maine
In Paris Maine a veteran recounts a harrowing frontier episode with a catamount. A lone settler, returning from Rumford with provisions, is chased as he flees toward his cabin. He loses his meat and his garment then casts his waistcoat before fleeing full speed to safety. He reaches the cabin and survives after a frantic night as his wife and children keep guard and the catamount remains near. The tale ends with the survivor reflecting on his fear and noting his hair turned snowy white by the fright.

Notice to Assessors of Wisconsin State Tax 1854
The act establishes a state board of equalization to set the 1854 state tax, requires assessors to file original assessments with county clerks by August, details penalties for failure, and outlines procedures for county clerks and the secretary of state to prepare and publish tax rolls, with the secretary to certify the act upon publication. It also repeals conflicting laws and sets the act into force.
