CLEVELAND NEWSPAPER DIGEST JAN. 1 TO DEC. 31, 1838
CONDUCT & CUSTOMS
308 - H&G June 21:2/3 - Not quite half way down Superior Lane stands a
hydrant which is almost as valuable as the famed "Town pump" for its
good office to the neighborhood. Around it, at morning, at midnight,
or in the evening, one may see pitchers and pails, while dusty travellers,
men with hot gullets, teamsters, draymer., and boys that drive
horse carts, waiting each his turn to fill a pail, drink, or water his
team.
Take now "A Rill From The Town Pump" from Hawthorn's TWICE-TOLD
TALES.
Almost every word of the "Town Pump's Soliloquy" might come appropriately

309 - H&G Nov. 22; ed:2/3 - "B-o-o--Bo-o! - "The auricles of our good

visitors repeat the question bday. Really we do not know. - Some

"The truth is we bel ieve that some fellows fond of noise were merely
burning powder for the fun of it." (2)

COUNTERFEITING
312 - H&G Feb. 16:2/2 . We learn that young Brown and Rathborn, recently
committed in Lorain county for passing counterfeit money, have been removed
to the jail in this city for safe keeping. Letters found on them
disclose some of the plans and operations of a league of villains which
have for some time infested the West. We understand the letters give a
