Hartranft praised for state debt relief and thrift
A tribute to Gen Hartranft from the Harrisburg State Guard lauds credit for reducing Pennsylvania state debt by over five million dollars under Republican leadership at the Auditor's office. It contrasts with Democratic eras, cites no real estate tax under a Republican legislature, and lauds Hartranft's prudence and impartiality. The clipping also includes satirical notes on Pendleton’s escort and a note on steaming hay as a cooking method.

Mosquitoes and mischief at the old Road Hole
A morning gathering of boys at the old Road Hole describes a circular march by a water pool where a peppermint oil distillery stood and a boy bet to endure mosquito bites for thirty minutes. A coal placed on his back prompted exclamations about a horse-fly beyond the bites. A separate hut scene features a traveler seeking shelter and a family planning sleeping arrangements. The Hon. John S. Carlisle, former West Virginia senator now in Baltimore, endorses Grant and Colfax and plans to stump for them.

Cock fight ends in a grisly Panama spectacle
An American ship crew in Panama transformed a bald eagle into a mock game cock. The eagle attacked the panicked bird, but the eagle’s foe was swiftly decapitated when the victor clumsily ended the bout as Sleepy dragged off the head of the challenger.

A New Destructive Insect Stripping State Trees
A Hartford Times report describes a new hard on horse chestnut trees in parts of the state. A white caterpillar enters bark, forms a paper tunneling case, then yields a piglike woolly insect that floods branches, stripping leaves and leaving trunks scarred. The piece also retails political letters and anecdotes about Democratic rhetoric from Seymour and Blair, plus a note on yellow peach double fruit in Ohio and other odds and ends.
