To The Senate and House Of Representatives. ofthe
United States in Congress assembled The memo
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 18th of September, 1885, that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect or desire reside on the
land thus granted that # patented to them, the
expense Of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge reducing the value of the grant, which
thew could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memoria!ists further represent that the law
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assum ei
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many of them are among the most intel
lgent and respectable citizens of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.

thor of the Book Of the Farm, &c, &C.; assisted
ny JOHN Z. NoRToN, M "A, New Haven, Professor
of Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &C., DC
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over ! 400
pages, with 10 or 20 splendid steel engravngs,
and more than 600 engravings on wood, in the
highest style Of the art, illustrating almost every
implement of husbandry now in use by the best
farmers, the best methods OF ploughng, planting,
haying, harvesting, &C., &c, the various domes-
TIC animals in their highest perfection; in short
the pictorial feature of the book s unique, and
will render it of incalcuIable value to the student
of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi monthly
numbers Of ga pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
engravngs, and is sold at 25 cents each, or SIS for
the entire work in numbers, Of which there will be
at least twenty-two.,

Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but rmaA
portion oftheir contents is devoted to political sub
jects. IL is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand
fessedy far above all other journals their class.

Christopher North, maintains it's ancient celebrity,
and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works Of Buwer and other literary notables
written Cor that magazise, and first appearing in
its columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as "The Caxtons" and an y
New Novel" (both by Bulwer0 "My PeniDsual
Medal, 1.-THE Green Hand" and other serials
of which numerous rival editions are issued by the
leading publishers in this country, have to be rel
