Day of Rest and Heavenward Hope Amid Prejudice
Poem and editorial note from the Clermont Courier dated November 3, 1860. Includes a devotional verse about dying and meeting God with lines of faith and heavenly praise, followed by a sermon-like diatribe on prejudice as a robber of the mind, urging reason and principle. The piece blends religious consolation with a critique of partisan zeal and social bias.

Early Clermont County Incidents in 1817
In January 1817 the narrator travels from Bethel toward Cincinnati seeking Judge Brown. He notes a bridged Miami River, deep snow, and good sleighing. Near Withamsville he meets Mr Green who bets on a hog weighing four hundred pounds by February. In Cincinnati he visits Dr Fairchild seeking Spanish flies, learning Brown may be in Indiana, with pricing noted.

From a Public Debate on Home Industry and Prices
A narrator recalls years later how contrasting views on home manufacture and cheap goods shaped his stance. He notes declines in foreign goods like Spanish flies, sought Judge Brown’s whereabouts, met a military officer and a sharp-eyed woman, then found Gen. James Findley who aided his search and led to the judge’s anticipated return home in about two weeks.
