Under cover of darkness, the Confederate commerce raider Nashville escapes Beaufort, North Carolina

The raider C.S.S. Nashville had ran the blockade into Beaufort, North Carolina in late February 1862.  At around seven in the evening, under cover of darkness, she used her speed to outrun the guardships and escape the surrounded port.  Fast but too weak in construction for a warship, she was later employed as a pure blockade runner.  Called the C.S.S. Rattlesnake, she was destroyed by the U.S. Navy a year later. (By John Osborne)

Fire destroys Euphemia Hall, a female Episcopal school founded and run by a Dickinson College graduate

A fire completely destroyed Euphemia Hall, an Episcopal school for girls, at Marengo in McHenry County, Illinois.  No injuries were reported.  Its founder and principal, Reverend Isaac P. Labagh, a Dickinson College graduate in the class of 1823, had invested heavily in the school from his own funds but it was not rebuilt and Labagh moved on to a church in Cairo, Illinois.  He died on December 29, 1823 in Fairfield, Iowa.
