The Trenton Turnpike Divorces in a Jersey Tale
A long legend recounts two men Smith and Jones courting divorce bills and a turnpike charter at Trenton. Champagne suppers loosened tongues as clerks misread documents leading to unexpected marital and civic upheaval. A tale of legislature errors, love, and laughter ends with a vow to pursue truth.

Balloon tragedy and heroic ascent told from California to Zoar
A sixteen year old boy ascends in a balloon attached to a hoop in San Francisco with a fragile balloon and frozen risks. The account follows crowd speculation on his fate and the miraculous return of Joseph Gates from Oakland landing at Suisun Valley after fifty miles of airborne travel. The report also covers Governor Wright's remarks at a Miami Valley fair and ends with reflections on the Zoarite community and their patriarch.
