News of Webster death ride and city dispatches legends

A fragmented OCR page recounts Eben Cain delivering the last words and time of Daniel Webster’s death in 1853, racing from Marshfield to Boston with a four-wheeled trotting gig and Harnden’s press team. It also touches on real estate transfers, local notices, and random tips on goods and services, all framed as a vintage newspaper digest.
