Our National Finances and a St Joseph Peach Picnic Tale
A long editorial on national debt compares prewar and present wealth, notes per head tax trends and internal commerce growth via canals and railroads, and argues the United States can sustain larger burdens. It cites Massachusetts and Erie Canal figures, Britain’s tax mix, and future securities pricing. A second piece recounts a chaotic Peach Eating Excursion to St Joseph from Chicago with Jemima Jane and Joshua Jopsoimo, describing travel mishaps, a shipboard breakfast in a pail, peaches, and a mass of exhausted travelers awaiting boats and relief.

Ohio 1862 volunteers relief tax act enacted
The act taxes three-fifths of one dollar on state property to fund relief for volunteers and their families. It requires county assessors to enumerate volunteers, report by May, and allocate funds via county auditors and the state auditor. Commissioners manage the relief fund, with borrowing allowed to anticipate receipts and no officer compensation. The measure covers killed, disabled, or imprisoned volunteers and defines eligible beneficiaries and origins of enlistment.
