Remarkable Colonial Clock Makers and Watch Craft in America
A fragmented account traces early American clock and watchmaking from Goddard in Boston to Pillan in America and Gardner in Roxbury. It notes British soldiers settling as clockmakers after the Revolution, discusses verge watches, cases, and gearwork, and highlights notable makers like Lay Weg Brass clock inventors, and Obadiah Fotsne, with references to English and Dutch styles and the spread of colonial clock craft.

Mysterious cases and a drunken toddler tale from a New Jersey physician
In a New Jersey tale a work citizen recounts his infant son’s affliction after his father’s alleged intoxication. The doctor calls the child’s condition a permanent impairment with motor and speech difficulties, predicting lifelong drunkenness, while noting no cure exists. A second item describes a mysterious Hoboken ferry passenger, a pale woman with a dog who interacts with deckhands and observers each morning, unseen by others and speaking to no one.
