S. G. Goodrich author of Peter Parey's Tales, for
the use of schools. The main purpose of the work
is to furnish FULL accurate, and just history OF the

this subject common school study throughout the
land While, therefore, it is full in point of matter,
it is so arranged to be easily mastered by the pupil
and without excessive demands upon the attention of
the teacher. 1t will be remarked that the work is
largely illustrated with engravngs of and in
cidents together with portraits, plans, and maps, de-
signed to convey correct ideas of men and things, and
at the same time taking that the history shall be
studied with accurate geographical notions.

Balance in favor of,lra U. S.


A very considerable portion Of these
expenses have been paid as fees to
counsel for defending the rights OF the
United States when brought into ques-
ton before justices of the peace, and in
the local courts, by suits for Jorcibls
entry and the like, brought against the
lessees by persons claiming the pre-
emption right, and in some few suits
which the lessees themselves have
been compelled TO institute snits against
the presumption claimants to prevent
them from interrupting the mining OPP
eratlons; and, as no rents at all could
probably have been collected without
these attempts to afford protection to
the lessees, this employment. Of coun-
sci has been tacitly approved. The
many cases however, in which this eff
fort to afford protection has..failed have
been principle, if not the only cause
ofthe neglect and refusal to pay the
rent. But as all questions involved in
those suits are believed to be embra-
ced in that of the United States versus
II. II. Gear, on which the United
States circuit court for, Illinois were
divided i'll opinion, and so certified to
the Supreme court, and as decision
in that case is expected at the ensuing
January term, it is hoped that a final
stop will be put to these harraSsng
petty suits, and that the receipt Of
rents for these mines rwill in conse-
quence be greatly increased, while the
expenses will be lessened."
