Endeavoring Sea Man and His Wooden Leg Tale
A crusty mariner with a self fashioned wooden leg recounts his survival aboard a clipper, losing his limb after a gale near Liverpool, then drifting toward New York. He recalls the brutal voyage, rescue, and a bizarre confession by a hostile shipmate, ending with a claim of salvaged items and a odd naval anecdote about a giant clam and a reveal of treasure.

Ancestry of the Present President of the United States
A Washington correspondent reports on claims about the presidents lineage tracing to Virginia's first governor Master John Harrison and the Harrisons of Westover. The piece quotes B. E. Blackford of Washington, detailing a partial genealogical trail from 17th century Virginia to the present president, arguing the president descends from the early Virginian Harrison line rather than Cromwell's general.
