Her er nyt fra ind-og udland, lokale fynske nyheder først, samt avertissementer og navnestof. Regeringsskiftet i april 1784 omtales ganske udramatisk og selvsagt uden kommentarer. En enkelt stor nyhed i slutningen af året 1783 ofres der ekstra på: Iversens læsere har længtes efter 'at see Montgolfiers berømte aerostatiske Machine, hvorom saa meget i denne Tid tales og skrives. (..) Her paa vedstaaende Side sees den efter en i Paris forfærdiget Tegning, saaledes som den paa 1ste December i Paris i Thuilleriets Hauge gik i Luften med de Herrer Robert og Charles. Dens Størrelse og Indretning vide Læserne af Avisen. Iversen'. Volia! Nyheden om de første mennesker i luften når til Odense med historien om Montgolfier-brødrenes ballon-færd. *** Sent i livet, i 1819, blev bogtrykker Iversen en konstruktiv velynder for den nykonfirmerede H.C. Andersen, der drog fra Odense til København med en anbefalelsesskrivelse fra den store fynske publicist.
