Turbulent early days on the Central Railroad line
Reports recount violent clashes with landowners over takings, obstructions placed on tracks near Tribe's Hill, trains halted by straw piles and boulders, and a near-violent confrontation between local engineers and travellers. Meanwhile, a domestic farce over a missing collar button unfolds with Spoopendyke rhetoric and comic misadventure.

Put Your Shoulders Back Provertsful Glenderness
A early note urges girls to stand upright to improve health and appearance. It cites outdoor life and bodily development, warns against slouching, and quotes Aaron Burr warning that poor posture harms health and growth. The passage mentions Miss Burr, her later beauty, and mental endowments as praise for proper carriage.

Emigrant Routes to the Pacific Northwest in 1860s Guide
The piece compares three main routes to the new country for Eastern visitors. It outlines Omaha to Ogden via wagon road, and a second overland path from Millo Kelton to Walla Walla, with costs around $50 to $100 plus meals, and a third sea route via San Francisco and Portland to Almota or Colfax. It notes the San Francisco to Portland line is cheapest if traveling with others, and praises the Snoqualmie route for horsemen through the Cascades, with emphasis on calm, reliable saddles and comfortable Columbia River steamer travel.
