Boy Heroes of Kentucky Stand Against Robbers
In early Kentucky frontier life, two young brothers Philip and Daniel Slater, sons of hunter John Slater, defend their family from three robbers. Philip lowers meat to poisoned dogs, shoots one attacker, and with his father's aid, defeats the other two as loyal hounds maim the criminals. The elder praises the boys, and justice moves against the wounded and dead assailants.

Remarkable Magnetic Gestures Attributed To Kossuth Visit

A woman with companions reportedly gesticulated in public as if addressing a crowd while Kossuth spoke nearby, allegedly synchronized by psychic or magnetic influence. The piece attributes the phenomenon to physical sympathy and mental attraction between the woman and the Hungarian leader.
