than any other man is qualified to occupy
But this is out Of the question and while AZ

who for the frat time since men were

HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION. The CoDE ex

halt an acre, within any town, and forty
acres, if not within any town. The Home
stead is defined 10 be the house used by the
owner as home. II may cont ain ono OF
more lots or tracts Of land with the build
ings thereon and other appurtcnances, bu
must not embrace different lots, unless
they are in good faith used as part Of The
Homestead. II shall not include more
than one dwelling house, nor any Other
buildings except such as are properly mp
purlenant to tho Homestead as such--bu,
shop or other building situated on The lo'
or land, shall BIO deemed appurtenan, to the
Homestead, if used or occupied by tho own
|er ia the prosecution OF his ordinary bust
ness and not exceeding $500 in value.
The Homestead, il will be seen, is limit
ed to halt an acre in town or forty acres
il not in town--but if when thus limited
in either case, its value is less than $500
!, may be enlarged, till its value reaches
that amount. We do not see, however, but
wha, tho CODE eXempts from execution OF

forty acres, without any respect to their
value. The buildings aud improvements
on the Homestead may be worth fifty or an
hundred thousand dollars, YET as it consti-
tntes the Homestead, II is exempt from
forced sale.
This isa defect so gross, and may lead
10 frauds so palpable, that its immediate
alteration will be required. Certainly il

For long time, doub, and fears have been en-
tertained with regard 10 the prosecution and sue
cess Of the work upon the Qesmolnes ImQlole-
Wspt. Tais general depression OF feeling ha,
retarded tie srolr ofthc State, che cked the en-

dered strange and wrong sectional and political

Of tue kcokak Dispatch. That the de.
preston Of feeling attendant upon the fail
IRE to prosecute the public works on the
Dss MONIES river, has retarded The growth
10! the State, is certainly something new
under the sun. Our cotemporary has
written so much upon the prosperity and
advantages Of the Des MONIES valley, that
one would actually suppose from the above
that he thought, as goes the valley SO goes
ihe State. He will perhaps be surprised,
il be wrote the above beiesingly, when
we inform him that the high waters, losses
and general distress peryading the Des
MONIES Valley, have driven many persons
who came TO Iowa with the intention Of
settling there, higher up into the State
and that they are now crowding into this
portion of it in numbers hitherto unparal
ieled. Yea more, some Of the old residents
of the great and fertile valley OF the Des
Moines, have somehow ascertained thai
that river is the southern boundary of To-
wa, and having suspicion that higher
ground might be found in more elcrated
situations, have actually in their reconnoi.

in this region, as to have returned with
