Eruptions at Vesuvius Move Lava Toward Sea
Eyewitness account from May 55 describes Vesuvius in a major eruption with ten miles of lava flow, a lava lake at the base, multiple craters, and walls of fire advancing on Cereolo and surrounding villages. Royal observers watched as sappers diverted the flow toward San Sebastiano and Massi di Somme, with fear of further explosions and eventual sea entry.

Nature of Clay's Eloquence in Henry Clay Speech
In the Presbyterian Quarterly, Buffam praises Henry Clay's removal of the deposits speech as superior spoken eloquence. He portrays Clay as a western, self taught genius with measured, musical cadence, comparing his delivery to Apollo’s chariot and Demosthenes’ tradition. A final odd note mentions Buffam running a mile and an eighth in six minutes forty seconds.

A Lesson showing perseverance of two New Hampshire youths
Two young men from New Hampshire moved to Lowell and, despite poverty, entered the Teacher's Seminary. They boarded cheaply, funded studies by hard work, and after two terms taught in New Jersey and elsewhere. One became a city high school principal earning $1,000 annually, the other earned $1,200 tutoring and pursuing college, then a Western College professorship, proving obstacles can be overcome.
