SEABoARD AND ROANOKE RAILROAD. We learn
from an advertisement in the N. Y. Journal of Com
merce that the Company of this Road proposes to
raise three hundred and fifty thousand dollars on
mortage bonds, bearing 7 per centum per annum in
terest, and redeemabe at the Merchants Bank, in
the city of New York, on the lst of August, 1860.
The entire line of road covered by these bonds
tends from Norfolk to South Gaston the Roanoke,
Ia distance of ninety miles. The total cost of this
road including the original outlay, is estimated at
more than million and half dollars. The whole
amount of bonds authorized be issued is four hum
dred thousand dollars, and the three hundred and #
Ity thousand dollars offered issued mainly
for the payment of the heavy II rail iron with which
the Company is now re-laying their track. The

On that day the Germans, with their wives and chill

hold their festival of Penticost. soon
occasoned among them by some DULLES and reckless
boys from New York, and fight commenced which
lasted for hours, and resulted in several deaths with
some thirty TO fifty wounded.
The New York papers TEEN with accounts of the
fight and subsequent examinations before the officers
of justice. The Germans appear to have the right
on their side. They fought only in sedefence. Such
scenes are disgraceful. They occur in the

NorARIEs PuBLIc.-The NEW CODE requires
all Notaries to have seal. on which shall be en-
graved the words s'Notarial Scalp and ''Iowa,"
with the surname of the notary at length, and at
least the initials of his christian name.
This provision will compel every notary here
tofore doing business in the State, to procure
new seal, unless the one he has been using should
happen to have upon it the very words required
by ''rHE CopE.'' No certificate granted bv a
notary will be of any validity unless his seal
should be exactly such as the CopE prescribes
Why it should be required Of the notary to have
these particular words on his seal, and why the
CODE should prescribe words to be put upon it,
which will make it necessary for them all to
procure new seals, we confess we are utterly at a
loss to decide
HOMESTEAD EXEMpTIoN.-The CopE eNempts
from forced sale, except for taxes, half an acre.
within any town, and forty acres, if not within
any town. The Homestead is defined to be the
house used by the owner as home. 1t may con-
tain one or more lots or tracts of land with the
buildings thereon and other appurtenances, but
must not embrace different lots, unless they are
| in good faith used as part Of the Homestead. 1t
shall not include more than one dwelling house,
nor any other buildings except such as are prop
erly appurtenant to the Homestead as sach-but
shop or other building situated on the lot or
land, shall be deemed appurtenant to the Home
stead, if used or occupied by the owner in the
prosecution of his ordinary business and not ex-
ceeding $500 in value.
| The Homestead, it will be seen, is limited to
half acre in town or forty acres, If not in a
town-but if when thus limited in either case, its
value is less than $500, it may be enlarged, till
| its value reaches that amount. We do not see,
however, but what the CopE exempts from exc
cution or other forced sale, the half acre and the
forty acres, without any respect to their value
The buildings and improvements on the Home
stead may be worth fifty or an hundred thousand
dollars, vet as it constitutes the Homestead, it is
I exempt from forced sale.
This is defect so gross, and may lead to frauds
so palpabe, that its immediate alteration will be
required. Certainly it was never intended to en-
empt the Homestead, without any regard to its
value. Yet such is an understanding of the law
as it at present reads.
| AS we continue to get better acquainted with
the Code, we will endeavor to call public atten-
ton 10 some other Of its very striking peculari-
ties.

DEs MONIES RIVER lMrRovEMEST.--Consld
cradle dissatisfaction is fe't on the Des Moines
River, on account Of the slow progress Of the
work, and the unfavorable prospect Of its speedy
completion. A meeting was held at Fort Des
Moines, in Polk county, on the 2lst of June, N
which several resolutions were adopted, urging
the Commissioner to prompt and vigorous ac-
ton, in removing distractions from the river, and
70 the complete discharge of his duty.
The 4th and 5th resolutions are as follows:
Resolved, That the people Of Polk county are
anxious TO discover, by his energy in behalf of
said improvement, that the said commissioner is
warm friend and not an anemy to the interests
ot the people of the Des Moines Valley.
Resolved, That the oath taken by the Commits
sioner that he will ''strive, to the utmost of his
exertions to promote the vigorous prosecution,
and to secure the early and economical compile
ton Of said work, and that he will give his con-
slant and snremitting personal attention thereto,"
Is incompatible with his accepting any other ap-
pointment while he continues to hold the Office OF
commissioner Of the Public works.
