Il Land Warrants.-Congress having, by an
act approved 18th July last, extended the time for
locating continental land warrants in the Virginia
military district, Ohio, and for returning surveys
thereon to this Office until the first day Of January
l84s, notice is hereby given, that the holders OF
such warrants can now locate the same in the said
district
From report made to this Office by the surveyor
of the military district in OHIO, ii appears that the
quantity ofland yet remaining to be located is about
23O 200 acres, lying principally in Scioto, Pike, and
Adams counties.
As the time for locating, and the quantity to be
located are limited, and Congress has made no
provision to satisfy warrants of this character in
scrip, holders will perceive that, if the present OF.
portunity of locating their warrants be lost, another
may not offer JAMES Fl. PIPER,
