proves 43 acres of land; he keeps six COWS,
three yearlings, and thirteen sheep. From
his SIX COWS he has made the season past, in
six months, 1900 weight Of cheese, making
an average of 33S pounds to each COW. He
has also made a considerable quantity Of
butter and skim cheese, from the same cows.
He has number OF hogs tatting which will
make 24OO weight Of pork. All this done
from the produce of his 4S acres-and he
will besides have grain sufficient for the use
of his family the ensuing year. Mr.. Spsl-
ding is what we commonly call an old fash
Toned farmer; and does not resort to the ex-
perienced mode Of purchasing manure and
plaster, that many farmers do who obtain
great crops. His land is by no means first
rate, and the labor does not exceed that OF
one man, that could be hired iOr 100 dollars
year.

Their object appears to have been that oil

The senate spent much time IN consider
| ing other amendments as we'll OF The orlg'-
nal provisions as additional provisions pro-
posed to be inserted, with the view of rem
dering lis enactments more clear, OF guard
ing them against abuse, &c. in the PROPOSE
zion and discussion of which. Messrs Van
Dyke, Walker, of Georgia, King, & Walk
er, of Alabama, Eaton, King, of N. York
and Talbot, took part. Oh these PROPOSE
lions. the following, offered by Mr.. Eaton,
as new section, was tine only one which
affected or embraced any important princi-
Pile.
And Be 1t further enacted. Tha! any pur-
chaser Of public land who, previous to the
- day Of last, had actually made a
settlement on the same, shall be allowed a
remission of all interest and twenty-five
per cent. discount on the amount yet un-
paid, and shall pay for the residue in in
staIments of one, two - years, without
interes! Provided, That the settlement
Of any one quarter section or legal subdivi-
sion OF a fractional section, shall be deemed
and held a settlement of all contiguous and
adjoining quarter sections or legal subdivi-
sion OF fractional section, so by him, in his
own right, held, and possessed, not ey-
ceeding one section.
This amendment was opposed for various
reasons by Messrs. King, OF N. York, Tai
bot, Van Dyke. and Edwards, as inexpe.
dent, and incompatible with the original
views which produced the bill, which it
might endaDger; and was advocated by
Messrs. Eaton, aud Johnson, of Kentucky.
on the general ground that the actual set.
tiers and cultivators of public lands ought to
be relieved, as we'll as the very large and
very small purchasers, now only in the
Conte mplatIon OF the bill. Mr.. Talbot was
In favor of con6ning the amendment to a
half section; and Mr.. Johnson, of Ken
lucky, was in favor of one section. Mr..
Lowrie thought the amendment unnecessa =
ry, and was willing to extend the class of
small purchasers to half section OF land
MIR. Eaton modified bis amendment, so as
to extend it to one section OF land. Before
the question was taken on the amendment,
it was with the bill laid on the table and or
dered to be printed.
MIR. Dana delivered in the following re-
port
The committee appointed TO inquire into
the propriety Of reducing the allowances
authorized by law for the two houses OF
Congress, and for the Executive depart
ments, report 4: That they have made en-
quiry according TO the resolution for their

sable at the present time to propose any re-

RESOLVED, That it is not expedient at the
present time to reduce the compensations
allowed by law for the respective houses Of
Congress, and for the principal and other
Offices in the Executive departments.
The report was read.

ofthe day took up the bankrupt bill; but
