1075 - L Dec. 23:4/3 - "The "self wringing mop" is being manufactured by
Keiney and Company, located at the foot of Champlain and Canal sts. The
mop was patented in October, 1861, and is an innovation dangerous to the “”
existence of the old-fashioned ones. "For what female, after seeing this
contrivance for mopping without touching her hands to the foul cloth, will . .
consent longer to use an article that is essentially filthy?" . . " ... "
Kedney and Company make 600 mops daily, employing seven men. These
mops are shipped to Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Iowa. . (5)

1687 - L May 28; ed:2/1 - The disgraceful attack of an Indiana "Copper-
head" upon Mr. Chandler, of Michigan, reminds us of the old congressional
days of bowie-knives and bludgeons. "It is highly probable that the
brutality of the chivalry will be transplanted entirely into the man-
ners and principles of such northern sympathizers as Voorhees." (3)

1706 - L. Apr. 7:4/3 - Letters by express is a new and important arrange-
ment by the American Express co. The envelopes used for this purpose
are the regular three cent government-stamped envelopes, with the pre-
paid stamp of the express company on them, stating that carriage and
delivery of the same is paid to and from their offices in the states
of New York, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan, Illinois,
Missouri, Iowa, and Minnesota.
(This appears to be the first attempt at "special delivery" of letters.)

2435 - L. Aug. 30; cq:2/3 - Orders from General Heintzleman forbidding re-
ception, transportation, or delivery of arms and ammunition by railroads,
or their sale in Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan, except by special permit,
is a wise move. Due to threats of open resistance of the draft, authori-
ties feel it necessary to take every precaution against insurrection and
civil war.
"There can be no doubt of the intention of the Copperhead leaders to make
the forthcoming draft the occasion of rousing their inflamed and higated (sic)
fellowmen to open resistance. This embargo on powder and lead now, may
save the terrible expenditure of powder and lead a month hence." (8)
