Death tale and wild bargain ends in New Castledrama
A long curious tale recounts Beck faking death at sea after an insurance payout. He returns alive, confronts his widow and her fiancé Myers in a porch brawl, and a tense confrontation ends with Beck leaving and vowing revenge while Myers escapes. The piece then shifts to farm and rural notes about breeding, sow care, and a comically failed attempt by an agent to display a house article amid a dog interruption.

Strange 19th century notes on marriage and wonders
A garbled 19th century column reports on a king selecting seven young women as wives, a Newport christening with diamonds valued at 50, a robe worth 3000, a Boston sculptor's statue titled Rathustaan, and a tale of a Spanish entrepreneur seeking twenty million in capital for a tunnel. It recalls drafts on Africa Europe ties, a rout from London to Calcutta, and a dying plea about marriage.
