shat he mad Just been offered SO 900 for his claim
IN 100 acres, which he rcfused.--Another cvi-
dencc Of their value is, that great portion of
the business Of the lawyers here is in disputed
claims These disputes are tried and settled by
CONSTITUTED authorities" and the registers GER
ti6catc is the legal evidence as to priority Of
claim.
This value is something real, and arises from the
produce to be raised from them, and the high pri
ces Of the market. n squattcr in this vicinity
raiscd from, one acre OF land, SO0 bushels Of po-
tatocs, which he sold in this town for $500. An
other sold the oats which he raised CLAIM. the
first year Of cultivation, for 1900 dollars. Ow-
ing to the increase Of emigration, the demand will
continue as strong for some years as at present.
Any man who makes claim now, between this
place and Rock river, viii; find his land worth from
1Odollars and upwards per acre, whenever ii comes
into market.
The work OF Improvement and Of settlement
is going on with astonishing rapidity. Until tho
Indian war Of 1888. this territory was mainly il
the occupancy of the Indians. Now the place
dsheir wigwams are the sites of fourisfing villa
RI, and their neglectful prairics are cnnycrtc
INTO fruitful fields. Wisconsin will soon bccom
. sister State in the confcderacy, and another an
Brighter star will thus he added to the banner @

A ner cay to make up a rerdict, and get on
Of Jury room.-Onc of the cutest tricks whic
We have heard of for long time, was played o
by Jury in the Supreme Court, which 81

under cOnsidc ration, and, Of course, were on III
clock up" they could not agree, and, rs it va
getting late in the evening, the prospect vi spcn
isg tho night in confinement was any thing b.
agreeable. Tho Judges had been applied To I
release, and informed Of their situation; br
thinking that night spent in debate would pr
ducc unanimity ofopinion, gave orders to Ike,
them together until they made up n verdict, whit
they duly signed and scaled, and giving it to Il
officer in charge, departed for their homes, and "
have no doubt, enjoyed their nights rest all Il
bc,,cr COR its threatened deprivation. The nc
morning, when the Court met, the verdict WI
handed in; the clients in the case were prcscu
and, with anxious faces, awaited the jury 3 awaI
The clerk, with due solemnty, broke the sea
and in audible voice, read the verdict: ~
agree 10 disagrcc." The effect Of this VIC lea
b the imagination Of our rcaders.--Somcth
WIS said about contempt Of the court; but I
soodness Of the joke acted as palliative to I
offence. Its repetition, however, would not,
presume, be safe.-NcrPorf Rep.
