IToR.-We have received the October num-
Der Of this valuable work. II is embelished
with a portrait of Professor Liebig, with a
memoir, It il, like the former numbers, re-.
plete with useful information to practical far
mers. This work has the advantage over the
generality of works Of the kind published at
the north, inasmuch as it treats of the agri-
culture and the mode Of operating south as
well as north.

THE PUBLIC LANDs.-We learn from the
Union that the whole amount ~ofpublic ands
sold in 1915 was I ,754, 100 ocres the pro-
Ceeds Of which amounted 10 S2,2O5, $50. The
largest amount of sales was made in Illinois,
being 4S9,4l9 acres--showing the rapid
growth of that young State. The smallest
quantity was sold in Florida, being I4.7I4
acres-owing, doubtless, TO the recent diff
%cuIties, with the Indians in that Territory.
Missouri ranks next 10 Illinois in the amount
Of sales, being 1881 acres: From the LIST
Of January TO the 3lst of August, l845, be.
ing eight months, the sales in all the States
and Territories amounted to / ,083,466 acres;
the proceeds Of (which amounted to 1882,
$50. Here, again, the largest amount of
sales has been made in Illinois the next in.
Wisconsin Territory and the smallest il
Florida. The whole amount of sales for
lS45, if proportionate, will about equal the
sales Of 1914.
The Union then gives a valuable table Of
all sales made in the following States and Ter
r~itories, TO wit: Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. Mis-.
souri,, Alabama. Mississippi, Louisiana. Mich.
igan, Arkansas and Florida, and the Terrific
ries of Iowa and Wisconsin, from January
1914, to August, l845. We learn from It
that the lands sold in this State last year
amounted to 8 ,046,8l acres, and up to Aug
ust Of this year, 66,360,l7 acres; while in
Mississippi during the same periods respect
iyely, 3~0,436,31 acres and 17,033,s7 acres
were sold.

Sheppard Knapp, Esq, President of the
Mechanics Bank Of New York, and Mr.. Ed
nlonds, Cashier of the same institution, were
taken on the 4th inst, before the City Mag
~istratos at tho Tombs, and e examined on the
charge Of compromising a felony on the sub
Iect Of forgery. The father hearing of the
matter was adjourned to the 7th, and the
parties were permitted to go on their parole
The circumstances of The case are singular.
The f2rger is named Higgins, who wrote the
name ofSuydam & Co. upon paper which
came into the possession of the bane. He
was detected, but not at once arrested, and
took up the forged paper by committing yet
other forgeries. He has since been arrested.
tits very evident that there was a design to
let Higgins off, if be could make good The
amount Of the forgeri9s, but the President of
n bank Of two millions is a troublesome Gus
toner TO convict in NewY York for compound
ing a felony.
