ficer, that he had sent for them to thank
them ia the name of his Majesty, for the
aid they had'rendered the British during
the war, and for the bravery they had
displayed on several, occasions, as well
as to communicate the intelligence of the
peace which had been declared between
the great belligerent parties. He con
cluded by pointing to large pile OF
goods, that lay heaped upon the floor,

presents for themselves. The Little

Some time since, the attention of our
readers was drawn to the question,
whether or not the sections numbered
81 in lands surveyed in Minnesota,
could be re-sold for school purposes,
where right Of presumption had ac-
crued at the date Of our organic act !:
This question has been submitted to
Mr.. Ewing, the Secretary Of the 1nte-
rior; who decides the question in the
following words of instruction to the
Register Of the Land Office at Saltwater.
II am of opinion, that, so far as Con-
gress had the right to make such reser-
walton, that is, so far as the sections 36
in Townships surveyed prior to Sd
March lS49, were at that time vacant
public land and free from any vailed
prescription or other claim, such reser-
walton was made by the 18th section OF
the Act of Sd March lS49; and you
will cause them to be so treated"

For the prosecution, Messrs. Lambert

The cause went to the jury last Sat-
urday afternoon and II verdict was made
up the same day and delivered into Court
sealed, on Monday morning. 1t was a
very expeditions trial, and was conduc-
ted ably on both sides. TWAS suit de-
void of interest; for aside from the mere
casualty, as it may be called, of the rIp-
ture Of blood vessel upon the temple
Of Gordon, the deceased, by blow from
the fist of Mcleod, which seemed per-
fectIy iustifable under the circumstan-
ces, there appeared nothing in the whole
affair, more than occurs in any common
assault and battery, where the parties
are excited by liquor

sworn to try this cause: P. Bottineaux,
H. Rogers, w. Welshons, H. L. Bev-
ans, Hiram Wiley, VIM Evans, War
rem Chapman, H. Kidney, N. Brock Tir-
rel, p K Johnson, Isaac Rose. The
defendant being arraigncd, did plead not
guilty.

sworn, says: On the 22nd or Odd, Cor

he could not drive better than that, he
would not try to drive. Gordon then
made at Mcleod with this stick witness

Leod then jerked Gordon down and
struck him two or three blows with his
fist, when | told him to stop, which he
did. Mcleod was striking like fight

was from Mcleod, who had blood drawn

fire. His face was swelled considerably.
