Bat while we make these complaints OF

important subjects connected with the

acknowledge that upon other points they
have been more communicative. Though
the dispatches of Mr.. Munroe and Mr.
Pinckney have been locked up in the caol'
net, those OF captain Lewis, doubtless
more interesting in the estimation OF the
president, have adorned the columns OF the
official Intelligeneer at full length. No
sooner did the HORNED FROG arrive
from Louisiana a. the seat of government,
than the event was announced with all due
formality, and the important intelligence
ran, with the velocity of a telegraphic dis.
patch, through every governmental paper
on The continent. That amazing country
big with wonders and sale mountains,
has at length sent forth another prodigy no
less than ground squirrel, or in the lam
guage of presidential philosophy a uuila

frogs and the glorious news is now max
ing the tour of the United States stamped

A statement of the Connecticut Western
lands has contributed TO explain that part
of our history. These lands were granted
to Connecticut by Charles the I'd. In the
revolution, to some suffering citizens OF
that Stete, lands amounting to 500, 600 dol.
lars or SO many acres, were granted, Chief
" east Of Sandusky bay on Erie. After
the peace, part of,he same Grant were sold
TO Connecticut Land Company, in Co.
lumbiana, SO called, and the money appro-
priated for Schools. In 1897, by Wayne's
treaty, the Indian title to the lands was
ceded 10 the United States. In 1900, Con-
nectisut ceded the land west of Pennsylva-
MIA line to the United States, and obtained
confirmation of their former grants. The
lands have now eleven thousand white inha-
bitants. thirteen thousand have been OBJ
tanned for college. The lands west of
Cayahogo, lately purchased, exceeded one
million of acres, as did the other purchase,
and for them an annuity is to paid of 825
dollars. For the cession to Connecticut
the proprietors were to pay 4 thousand doll
lars, besides thousand for the Indians,
and 2 thousand annually for 6 years.
