A fragmented Pioche record column blends notices with a natural history sketch on insect song. It explains grasshoppers and katydids produce music via wing structures, notes the violin like act of wings, and details hearing organs, while a biographical snippet recalls Mme de Charlemont's nineteenth century life, poverty, and death.
A private named Richard Lee was brought before a magistrate for card play during divine service. He defended himself by saying he carried only a pack of cards without Bible or prayer book. He explained card meanings by scripture and zodiacal allusions, then offered a sly moral about cards being a Bible and almanac. The mayor released him after his description of the knave. A separate note mentions medical boxes to be placed on Pennsylvania Company trains for treating injuries until aid arrives.
