Warren County Pioneers and Early Builders Chronicle
A nineteenth century Warren County reminiscence details early settlers and builders. It notes Judge Lewis Arnett, Lansing Wetmore, Robert Miles, Daniel Waugh, and others who settled Warren, built mills, homes, and stores on Second Street and near the Keystone Block. It recounts Tanner and Parmler’s merchandise ventures, Dunn’s hotel, and the Russell House fire. The narrative recalls Prothonotaries Miles and Brown, Judge Hackney, Lieutenants Yackney and Hall, and the 1830s Lumbermen’s Bank collapse amid public strife, investigations, and a noted 1841 stabbing tied to the bank controversy.

President's seven propositions on currency and redemption
The President outlines seven financial proposals. He argues for returning to a specie basis, beginning immediately, repealing the legal tender clause with a future effect, redeeming currency in coin from a fixed date, and canceling redeemed notes. He also calls for banning small denomination bills, reducing the debt through excess revenue, and paying savings after redemption in coin or U.S. notes to force bank redemption. Public opinion largely favorable, with Senator Jones of Nevada credited by some papers for authorship.
