"Dr. Oliver had his fine dog, Frank, killed Wednesday for fear he would
take the rabies and do some mischief. There are a thousand dogs, more or
less, in Corning, from the insignificant and useless and worthless to the
larger and still more worthless kinds that ought to be exterminated. Can't
our town council come to the relief of a long suffering and patient people?"
(Sounds like the animal population was bigger than the human population then
and now!)

"The largest greenback extant is a $10,000. bill, and only one such note
has been printed by the Government. Of the $5,000. bills, the next largest,
there are seven."
