Tiger fears mouse in Calcuttas British residency
An anecdote from Basil Hall's Fragments of Voyages and Travels recalls a tiger kept at the British residency in Calcutta. The beast, terrified by a mouse on a string, leaped and roared, sometimes forced to advance only by a squib, and often vaulted toward the cage roof in fear.

Fragmented moral reflections and foolish vows in a varied column
A pasted slice from a 19th century paper blends a rustic tale of a father and son stealing corn with whimsical lines on matrimony and domestic comforts. It parodies social foibles, humor, and occasional sharp witticisms about marriage, music, sanity, and hearthside life.
