A fragment recounts a drunkard’s ruin and a betrothal tale with blackmail threats, moral advice for boys, and a dramatic Irish marriage chase aboard the ship American Congress, ending with reconciled lovers after a thwarted match and a wedding in port.

Readers debate weights and measures for letters, noting Fairbanks scale and varied measures. Postmaster General may allow a five percent overage on foreign letters, while new weights become discretionary.

An excerpt from the New Orleans Times describes a controversial negro meeting with a colored preacher claiming divine acts to prove black purity.
