  • Tramping on the beaver, a game (1887)
    Children have a game where someone lays on the ground under a blanket and is a beaver. The rest of the children stomp and sing; once the singing stops, the beaver then jumps up and chases them. If someone is caught they become a beaver as well.
  • A sick note from Bushotter (1887)
    George Bushotter writes to James Dorsey to let him know he won't be back into work until Monday, because although he's recovering from an illness and eating better, he's still not quite ready to be back in the office.
