OBITUaRV.

Died-On the morning of the goth inst. in the
23d year OF her age. Mrs. ELIZABETH L ANDREWS
wife of w: W. Andrews, Esq, and daughter OF
DR.. Isaac N. Jones of this place.
1t is very mournful to part with dear friend
or relative whose years upon earth have reached
the allotted span Of human existence, and whose
earthly labors have been brought to gentle and
long-awaited close,-but, it is inexpressiblv sad
to yield up INTO the hands of God dearly beloved
wife, or tender mother, and an affectionate daugh
ter In the early morn Of her life and Just entered
upon the active and endearing duties of woman's
mission upon tarth. Thus, although in her youth
in the home of devoted husband and deeplv
attached parents-surrounded by many and much
loved relatives and friends-and with long lite
of enjoyment and happiness in view,-God has
seen proper, IN the nscrutab!e mysteries OF his all
wise Providence, to take the wife and mother
from earth. May the bereaved relatives be con-
soled with the sublime and cheering reflection.
that, though ''couds and darkness are round about
Him." yet righteousness and Judgment are the
habitation of His throne"
LEAVES have their time 20 fall
And flowers to wither at the North winds breath.
And stars to set-but all:

THE TREATY WITH SPAIN-We find the

promptly to the call
Yesterday Union asserts that "every cit

IN stipWlatioas, to land on the Island Of
Cuba in the prosecution Of business or for
pleasure Having laid down this broad
proposition, without adducing any evidence
in its support, the, Union proceeds to assail
the Administration for not quarrelling with
Spain because the Captain General of Cuba
refuses to permit Purser Smith to land there.
Our affirmation of the contrary doctrine is
pronounced "monstrous

Union can easily produce them. We ven-

A correspondent of the Milwaukee News,
writing from Salt Lake, says:
A man, having right to as many wives
as he can find and support, takes fancy to
one, goes to justice and swears he is able to
support her, and the marriage comes off
with due ceremony-and SO it goes on, as
he grows richer, without limit.

The Public Lands.

Senator Dodge of Iowa and Col. Benton
have held counsel together concerning the
merits and tendencies of Mr.. Benefits land
distribution bill; and they agree in the opin-
ion that it is an enormous iniquity," :'an
insulting cheat" which the new States are
bound to resist to the last extremity Mr..
Dodge objects to it especially because, under
its operation,a large amount of land scrip
will be thrown into the market, enabling
spectators to buy up all the desirable
lands IN the new States" and because the
grants to the various States wiz lay s'the
foundation of a home scramble and fight, y
to the prejudice of useful objects. Mr. Ben
ton shares Mr.. Dodg ge's antipathy to specula-
tors-objects that the grants to the new
States proposed by the bill are mere 'pit-
tance''-and contends that some at least of
the old States, never having given lands to
the Federal Government, have no title to
any portion of the unoccupied domain. New
York and Pennsylvania are particularized
as benefited unjustly by the contemplated
arrangement.
Attached to Mr. Dodge's letter is a. state
ment communicated by the Commissioner of
the General Land Office, showing the guam
tity of land covered by Benefits bill and
the quantity covered by warrants already or
yet to be issued The statement is in part
