"THs MORNING STAR. This is the utie
of a very neat and spirited paper just started
in Logan and published by Mr.. J, X kocn-
ester. 1t gives assurance of becoming a
valuable auxiliary to the Wing cause and
we trust that it will be kept continually
shining upon that portion of the Hooking
Valley. They need Wing paper there and
every Wing should subscribe and pay for it.
II will also be found very convenient as an
advertising medium for such of our business
men as have trade in that county, and we
might add that many of our citizens, who
are able, can help to support it for year or
two in the way of subscriptions, and longer
if Unnecessary. The Whig population of that
county should not permit the paper to go
down. The young men who have charge OF
it are able and willing to make paper wor-
thy ofsupport, and this they should have. II
will be found much more valuable to the cit
liens of the county, than TO those who viii
hear the burden and expense of publishing j
for the first few years. We trust it will
prosper, grow in size and prove source o
some profit to its conductors.

IyaDortant ArreSt,-Some days slhce; an
aggravated assault and rape was committed
upou the person of young German girl, IN
the vicinity of Toledo. If we remember
rightly, she, together with another was toll
lowed out Of that city by some four or five
persons. They we're only successful upon
one, the other making her escape. Since
then, two ofthem, we understand, have been
tried, convicted and sentenced to twelve
years Imprisonment. On yesterday, having
obtained information that one of the sup
posed guilty parties was in this county ON
GERS Perry and Ebright proceeded to Wal
nut township and arrested him. He is now
in iail. The names of those convicted we
do not now remember. The one just arrest
ed is named William Kuntz. 1t is but prop
er to add, that he denies the offence, aileg-
ing circumstances in extenuation of the
crime. The evidence in the cases above we
have not seen, but the long sentence would
imply high degree of guilt.
The Health of the City.-Never, within
our recollection, has the health of the city
been so good, being free from almost al
kinds of disease and remarkably so from
those to which our citizens are frequently
subjected at this season ofthe year. Indeed
we may say the same of the last three years
if we except the slight visitation of choler'
two years since 1t must be remembered
too, that this is one of the healthiest places
in Ohio, to understand fully the force ofth'
above remarks. We make these remarks al
Introductory to few words of advice abou
cleanliness and prudence. 1t has been un
doubtedly to the exercise of these that W.
must attribute our healthy condition, and al
the season offevers is not yet over, we have
hopes, by proper are upon the part OF ou
citizens and the authorities, we can publisl
the same good news throughout the entir
season of the hot weather.

GODEY'S LADY'S BOOK FOR 1852.
Increase OF Reading Matter

TINE LADY'S BOOK for the ensuing year will
l. present many novel features suited to the ad-
vancing demands of the public taste. 1t has ever
been the object Of the publisher to take the lead
among the popular Magazines of this country; and
the host Of imitators, who have been constantly
following-"toiling after him in vain"-are suffi
cient to attest his brilliant success. The prompt
with which every new idea that be suggests il
adopted by others, is sufficient reason for his not
being very explicit and exact in his promises OF
what is yet to come. He does not wish to lay out
plans for others to follow. II is sufficient however
say that all the existing popular features Of the
LADY's Book will be retained and many new ones
particularly attractive in a Lady's Book and Fami
ly Magazine, will be introduced. The useful and
the elegant will always be kept in view.
To the Magazines alone we must look for the
illusions of the minds of Literature. II il
useless to publish list of names-suffce it to say
that published articles, and have others To
publish from all the best american priters, male and
female.
Godey's Lady's Book for January, 1852, will con :
tain in addition to the most beautiful and numerous
engravings-thr qf Uhich are colored-an add.
tional quantity of reading by American authors
There is question about the fact, and the tens oil
thousands of notices that we have from the con-
temporary press will establish it, that it is the mos
magnificent periodical in the ,corid!
The publisher will give twelve numbers for 1851
that the London Arts Union would be proud of
and their price is ten dollars year.
ii must be observed that the LApY's Book caters
TO the taste Of the American Ladies. 1t furnishes
them win every thing that can interest Lady

vINHE sUBJOINED FORM OF DECLA-
l. RATION, TO be observed by all persons APP
plying to the Pension Office for Bounty Land, I'M
der the act Of 22d Msrch, 1852, entitled IAN act
10 make Bounty Land Warrants assignable, aud
for other purposes" 10 published in connexion
with the act itself.
This form is only 50 far variant from that pre-
scribed under the act of 2Sth September, 1850, as
to adapt it to the recent act Of March 22d.
The Declaration must be sworn TO before some
justice OF the peace or other officer authorized to
administer oaths for general purposes, who must
certify the same.
The official character and signature of the ma
gstrate who may administer the oath must be Ger
tilted by the clerk Of the proper court of record OF
his county, under the seal of the court.
Such certificate must accompany eUoy case.
IL will be perceived, that in the 4tb section OF the
act of 22d March, no provision s made for widows
or minor children, but only for the party who rem
dered the service.
The service contemplated by the act ia that
rendered under call by the authorities of any
State to repel apprehendcd bostiites from any TO-
reign government or Indian tribe, and whose SER
vices have been paid for by the United States sub
sequcnt to the 18th June, 1872.
IL should be specially noted that one whose
service was recognised by any previous act can
claim under this, except where his mileage haf
not been allowed in the computation of his service
Hence, if the soldier has rendered such service
would entitle him to forty acres, any other
amount, under a previous law, he cannot claim ar
increased quantity for other services hrst recog
! Missed by this act.
II the applicant desires to anvil himself Of tn,
9th section of the act, he must, in ha declaration
state the place at which he was enrolled with hi
company the distance thence to the point at which
he was mustered into service, the place at which
ne was discharged, and the distance thence to tn,
place Of his original enrolment 1t must also b,

fled to be credible, that his statements in these
