The Boundaries.

AS the newly acquired territory is at length def
ntely parceled out and arranged, it may be we'll to
state the boundaries of each separate jurisdiction
First, we have the boundary between Texas and N
Mexico 1t is believed that Texas will readily assent
to it.
1t begins at the intersection of the Tooth parallel
of longitude with lat. sc deg. 80 M and thence runs
due West along said parallel oflatitude long 103
thence South said meridian of longitude to lati
tude 80; thence West along said parallel of lat to
the Rio Grande; thence Southerly down the Rio
Grande to the Gulf of Mexico.
TERRITORY OF New MEXICO Beginning at point
the Colorado river where the boundary line with
the Republic of Mexico crosses the same; thence
eastwardly with the said boundary line to the Rio
Grande thence following the main channel of said
river to the parallel of the thirysecond degree of
north latitude thence east with said degree to it's
intersection with the 103d degree of long. west of
Greenwich thence north with said deg. of long. to
the parallel of SO deg of north latitude thence west
with said parallel to the summit of the Sierra Nadre
thence south with the crest of said mountains to the
37th parallel of north latitude; thence west with
said parallel to its intersection with the boundary
line Of the State of California.
TERRITORY OF UTAH-BOunded on the west by
the State of California; the north by the Terrific
ry of Oregon the east by the summit of the Rocky
Mountains on the south by lat 81 deg
The acts of Congress providing for the organiza-
ton fhose Territories expressly stpulate that when
admitted 1Cith 1CithOut SdUerU as their consttu-
tions may prescribe at the time of their admission
They may each be divided into two or more Terrific
res, should Congress determine or any portion of
either or both of them may be attached to any other
State or Territory of the U. S., according to the
judgment of the same authority.
STATE OF CALIFoRNIA.-Bounded on the north by
(lat. 42) Oregon Territory. the west by the Paci
ocean, the south by Mexico and on the east as
follows beginning at the intersection of lat ~ with
Ion. 100; thence running southery along said meri-
dian Of longitude to lat. 80 thence southeastery
straight line to the river Colorado, at the point
where it intersects lat. So thence down the middle
of the channel of said river to the Mexican Bounda
ry.
Thus it will be seen that the State of California
occupies all the Pacific coast from Oregon to Mexi-
co. some 800 miles, with average breadth of pro-
badly 250 miles. The Territory of Utah lies between
the State of California and the Territory of New
Mexico, but extends southwark only to lat 81
South of that parallel the Territory of New Mexico
extends to the State of California. Utah is there
fore: bounded south and east by New Mexico.
To THE GRAY-HEApED-Thef following is the mix
ture which turned general Twigg's hair from sill
very white to its original color. 1t has been found
ettcacious in every instance 1t does not dye the
hair but seems to operate upon the roots and restore
the color. We wish to put it on record, that
when our hair becomes gray, may have the ben
ett of it. Meantime, don't charge for It's by
others Raj Times
One drachm of Lac Sulphur one drachm of Su
gar of Lead four ounces of Rose Water mix them
shake the phial using the mixture and battle tn,
hair twice day for week or longer if necessary.
