Fooling the British Anecdotes of 1812 on Long Island
Special correspondence from Brooklyn recalls a chaotic 1812 era tale of Long Island residents deceiving and amusing a British fleet. Stories blend memory with exaggeration about the Amagansett Hand family, a cow, a cannon alarm at East Hampton, and frontier bravado, ending with local mischief and a peculiar old tale of a detective and sheaves of gunwood.

Morally Immoral Oysters and Honest Pie in a Disjointed Tale
A fragmented humor piece argues oysters are immoral while pie is honest, mixing French phrases and culinary musings with a digression on salmon, beefsteaks, and social manners.
