A dispatch from St Johns dated the 10th reports the Steamer Tigress of the Polaris expedition exploded her boilers while seal fishing. Two engineers and twenty crew members were killed.
A discussion favors replacing the three arches with horizontal trusses matching the railroad grade and raising the bridge about twenty seven feet. It would improve navigation, avoid new masonry, but require abandoning or modifying current approaches and face Bridge Company objections over cost and symmetry.
The Mount Denis tunnel wins support for Alpine links with St Bernard and St Gothard routes. Swiss reports note Favre and Colladon directing a 14900 metre tunnel from Goschenen Uri to Airolo Tessine with ends meeting in the center. Observatories and telescopes verify alignment as work begins near year end.
The author explains using compressed air driven by water wheels to transmit motion to perforating machinery. Colladon is credited with first showing the wide reach and low dispersion of this agent. The system also supplies air renewal at the gallery base for respiration and light.
A London Corresponden t recounts a tale of Lord George Gordon seeking marriage approval from nobles and the Queen, leading through Duke of Argyle to Emperor William and Bismarck, who dismiss the fuss. It then recalls Daniel Boone’s 1774 westward surveying mission to the Ohio Falls, and James Harrod building Harrodsburg’s first log cabin in April 1774.
The Danbury News poetically recalls a chaotic spring evening with strong winds, melting snow, and noisy streets. The piece personifies demons in the wind and laments shutter rattles, creaking signs, and dogs as birds fall silent. The fragment ends with a faded garden imagery.
A business announcement states all departments will feature a select stock and top brands. It emphasizes maintaining the firm’s reputation by ensuring the best goods, strict one price policy, and equal treatment for all customers.
A compact 19th century grocery notice inviting patrons to inspect goods and compare prices. It promises best quality and cheapest prices, offers to take country produce in exchange, and points to the N E corner of Main and Market streets in Trey, Illinois.
