Many forfeitures are about to accrue, from failure

barred by adverse possession of three years--that
being the limitation; many titles of lands conveyed
10 the United States, cannot be admitted to record in
Texas, for want Of proper authorization Owing
TO some other of these causes, the best lands
are in a condition to be lost.
Having made it my business TO become acquaint-
