A narrator recalls Alfred a fragile soul who shuns bustle and noise. They travel from city thrum to a farmstead for respite where Alfred's sensitivity meets pranks, a parrot, and a relentless clock that ticks away his restless mood.
In Naples on October 13 a treasure of sixty four silver vessels was dug from a house near Castor and Pollux in the Strada di Mercurio in the king's presence and that of Princes Leopold and Anthony. The items include a table service for four, eight inch plates, twenty four cups, moulds, and a fine vase. The collection, tied to the Pompeii hoard, is described in detail with ornate handles and figures while a local anecdote about butter and a Chapellhill student adds local color.
In a late excavation two Silver vessels were recovered from a shared wall area between two apartments. The 64 pieces were moved to the Royal Museum on October 15 and later displayed to the public. The report notes the site was disturbed by antiquarians and laments the hiding method as revealing valuable treasure.
Richard A. Leonard of Middletown New Jersey details his method of reviving a worn out 90 acre farm from 1833 to 1836. He doubled production despite a poor season through manure and underdraining, using 400 loads of manure yearly from mail barnyard and surrounding sources and earning a net profit of 912.41 on 90 acres. He warns that many farmers still use land killing methods and notes lime as a possible manure aid.
A Montrose Volunteer extracts an 1830s Western traveler’s note praising Illinois ploughing. The piece claims ploughmen may ride fiddle and plough together, with drivers reading while oxen move in long, even furrows under expert guidance.
The piece discusses substituting potatoes rice and barley in bread and notes uncertain nutritional gains. It also reports an Illinois to Pekin telegraph account of a Wisconsin Territory lead mine by Kirkpatrick with a $10 000 candlelit excavation nearly half a mile long four feet wide six feet deep, vein thickness up to twelve feet and 600 000 pounds raised, claiming exhaustible ore and higher dimensions with depth.
