Whitewater settlers endure first winter on the prairie
In early Wisconsin days, Whitewater settlers face scarce markets and food as winter tightens. Squire Hawes journeys to Elgin for provisions while Norman Pratt and others haul flour and pork, bees and bears roam the plains, and pioneers like Cutter Marston and Clarke build rudimentary homes. New arrivals, including Richard Henin and David Powers, drain the land as mills and roads slowly emerge.

Curious picnic mishap ends with reunited infant
A Philadelphia Ledger notice recounts a strolling picnic near a grove where a baby girl, left asleep by an aunt while fetching a bonnet, was found by a dog and returned to her anxious parents after a night of misdirection and patrols. The infant was cared for by a neighbor’s family until the father reclaimed her.

Very Hard Case Involving Advertising and Fraud
An item from the New York Times recounts a man who touted a “valuable medicine” to aid mankind and drew an old Albany partner into a venture. The partner’s capital was spent on advertising the first year, and the partner died after learning the improprieties. Five men are mentioned in an Ogden County jail context, with two recaptured and three at large, plus notes on estate and revenue issues tied to California.
