Evolution of the Stars and Stripes in Early America
A fragmented retrospective traces the 1777 Congress act establishing thirteen stripes and thirteen stars, noting delayed adoption and later amendments. The piece mentions Hodiman Drake, the Ranger ship, and debates over flag origins, including Washington family insignia. A 1818 bill enlarges the flag and prescribes arrangement, with standards used by War Department and Navy.

Prominent American Lady Seeks Lafayette Tomb Honor
An American lady in Paris launches a movement to place a marble statue on the Lafayette tomb. The inscription would recall the Austrian General Lalazette’s services to the United States during the American Independence era. The current grave stone is plain and unworthy of the memory of a great man.

Mining prospects brighten across district with new tunnels
In Dolly Prnamip notes, prospectors report steady improvements. Griddling Brown and McCormick of Wadeworth start a tunnel to the Red Rover ledge at 200 feet depth to test the bust point and sink a shaft. Monarch face shows ledge matter likely a ferro, with copperish croppings and potential vein. Butcher's claim area yields rich Promide ore and multiple claims show ore in croppings. Lingley widens bore while Con. Virginia near Butcher’s claim shows promising roon stain. Buckeye shaft progresses rapidly with 50 feet dug in twelve days. Sheriff Jones and Dr. Bishop visit Monarch Co. Bromide speculation continues. Tin Mine near Hone reports a two-foot to small ledge on Honey Lake road, with green rock yielding $21 silver. X. L. 1 mine eyed for future sinking.
