A garbled temperance fable from Venice sits among scattered notices and society items. The column lists legal penalties, political moves, and local curiosities including a widow’s suicide, senatorial appointments, cholera reports, and a large inheritance in Fond du Lac.
A mix of anecdotes includes rebel money imprinted by the National Bank Note Company and a War Department inquiry, a rumored marriage involving Schuyler Colfax, geese pacing a train on the Hudson River Railroad, Lucy Cobb described in praise, Yale students stealing gates, and satirical lines about Rob in Hood. Also notes on transport costs, hog cholera deaths, a Pittsfield family, and Paris fashion trial of three cornered hats for young women.
