An account of violent acts in Pa where a woman was blinded during a railway assault and a man killed his mother with a weapon. A fishwife strangled a boy of twelve at Central Market, and a youth confessed to theft-related crimes. The report notes local investigation and trials.
The account recalls Walter Caltype, MP for Berks, who translated a document and set type in shirt sleeves to publish a speech by 1823. He arranged the press work personally, preparing the second edition by one o'clock, saving the expense of express service and proving unmatched in both intellect and labor.
The author discusses avoiding quaint punctuation in writing for young authors. It cites Cobbett and Lindley Murray, noting which punctuation, such as dashes and colons, should be used sparingly to prevent ambiguity, and argues the term gentleman will define a period marked by personal, incommunicable traits.
Multiple 19th century Warren County sheriff sale notices announce public vendue dates in March and February for properties tied to lien and mortgage suits. Listings cover farms, parcels, a saw mill and dwellings, with descriptions of boundaries, improvements, and owners or defendants, including Burneworth Barrett Towell and Ruth Towell.
A writ of attachment denies the right to a sale by a sheriff in Warigi County. The notice lists two parcels: first a seven acre tract with specified boundaries and a second one acre parcel along a road. Property owned by Oscar Brasington as survivor of John M. Olsey, with John M. Olsey as grantee. Sheriff E. A. Allen, Warren PA, February 6, 1835.
