News of the week

William H. Dutcher, [possibly William Henry Dutcher], who began on his attempt to walk 500 miles in 6 consecutive days in Martin’s Hall at North Adams, the 12th, accomplished the feat, and found on Sat. the 17th that he had 35 minutes to spare; and he must have been brighter than the pedestrian usually is after such feats, for he walked the last mile in 10 minutes.
