Dentist and the tooth trade in a comic tale
An odd tale from an irreverent weekly features an old man scrounging to barter teeth with a dentist. The buyer insists on half price, then fifty cents, while the dentist refuses. Eventually the man deserts the attempt, dreaming of a circus while the dentist resumes work. The piece weaves humor with vintage dialect and a dash of frontier charm.

Panther Hunts Sleeping Indian in Western Mountains
A Detroit Free Press correspondent recounts a panther stalking a sleeping pale hunter near a cedar thicket on a cliff above a valley. The beast creeps, lunges, and kills the man, then drags the body toward the rocks and disappears, while companions remain unseen. The piece also notes destitution in Boston, citing a worker’s wages and weekly expenses.
