In a satirical 1866 piece from Smanvang Wisconsin the writer laments the lack of a clear leader for the paper.

It mentions Gen Joseph E. Johnson’s presidency of the Alabama and Tennessee railroad, a forged bank check by a law partner, and various wartime scars and pensions cases. An Asiatic cholera case in Cincinnati, Brooklyn cases, and an American family near the Rio Grande are also noted along with a fatal incident and a house fire carrying cruel consequences.
