A humorous tale follows Mrs Jones wife of a prosperous farmer as she visits Mrs John Smith to learn cheese making. Stories recount mishaps and a misguided attempt to imitate a neighbor's craft while the lesson ends without revealing the cheese secret.
A letter from London’s Mxeter Hall describes Jenny Lind enthralling a crowd despite fog. The review lauds her voice and stage grace, noting the familiar allure that once won hearts twenty years ago and suggesting her singing remains moving even as critics question its current form. The piece also discusses piano construction and a comet forecast, ending with a quip about Broadway pricing.
A friend aids a sick man with brandy in Fond du Lac and the man recovers. The piece reflects on "good old times" versus 1870s days, cites a New York Tribune summary of pre American discovery prices, and recounts a Texas six shooter stunt. It also highlights Mrs. Hartford of Maine as an early woman’s rights figure who works hard, smokes, knits, fishes, and paddles, advocating Abby Kelly Foster for strong sisterly labor.
