Entry #2: Things You'd Find in a 19th Century Newspaper

So I did some trolling about the Internets to find some things one would see in a newspaper article. They were pretty different than today's newspapers. Some of the things I'd found reminded me of those weird infomercials you see at, like, two in the morning. Kind of funny, too. But that's the 1800s for you I guess.
This is a news article and three advertisements you'd find in a 19th century newspaper. Specifically, just after Lincoln's murder.
Enjoy!

On 14 April, John Wilkes Booth, renowned actor and supporter of the Confederacy, fatally shot President Lincoln during a performance of Our American Cousin at Ford’s Theater. Reports have confirmed that President Lincoln passed away at 7:22am yesterday morning. He was fifty-six years old.

            He was in high spirits at the time of the shooting, say witnesses who heard his laughter during the show. The president and Officer Henry Rathbone sat in a private box with Lincoln’s wife, Mary Todd, and Rathbone’s fiancée, Clara Harris (the daughter of NY Senator Ira Harris). After firing a .44 caliber derringer point-blank into the back of the president’s head, Booth then proceeded to stab Officer Rathbone in the forearm. Despite Rathbone’s efforts to stop him, Booth then leapt from the box and landed onstage. Though his leg was broken, Booth shouted, “Sic semper tyrannis!”—Thus always to tyrants, the Virginia state motto. He then fled the theater on horseback. He has yet to be found.

            Witnesses say that they thought it was all part of the show, but Mary’s screams proved something else entirely was going on.

            After the shooting, President Lincoln was transported by carriage to William Petersen’s boarding house, where he was pronounced dead at approximately 7:22am on 15^th April.

            Lincoln’s wife and sons were not present at the time of his death. His eldest son, Robert, was home at the White House when he heard what happened to his father. Young Tad Lincoln was at Grover’s Theater attending Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp. The play was halted when the announcement came.

            The hunt for Booth is still in motion. It is estimated that over ten thousand federal troops, detectives, and police are at work to track him down.

            On April 21, Lincoln's body was taken by train to Springfield, Illinois, his hometown prior to his presidency. A multitude lined the railroad route to honor him during the journey. He will be buried at Oak Ridge Cemetery near Springfield, Illinois, the same place where his son, Willie, is also interred.
