ASSIGNMENT OF LAND WARRANTS.

The Commissioner of the General Land
Office in regard to the assignment of Land
Warrants, says:
An Executor can only assign Warrant
when directed so TO do by The last will and
testament of the Warran,ee, when a copy Of
the will properly certified by the probate
court with the seal of said court affixed must
accompany the Warrant. In either case the
proof OF lime Of death OF warrants, &c, must
be furnished. (See inclosed circular of
March 2lst, 1852
When the Warrantee dies inteslate after
the issue Of his warrant, il become the pro-
Perty of his heirs al law (undet all the laws,
except under the act of i847, where debls
exist contracted after the issue of the war.
rant aud The want Of other means render it's
sale necessary for their discharged who mus,
unite in the assignment, and where either OF
said heirs are minor, their interest can only
be assigned by their guardian, who will
unite with the adults in the assignment after
he shall have obtained an order of the Cour,
to dispose thereof; certified copy of such
order with the seal of the court attached
must in such case accompany the warrant

2,5uO Acres Timber Land
FOR SALE.

SsEVERAL VALUABLE TRACTS OF
~ TIMBER LAND, comprising about $500
acres, part of which is situated on Tobyhanns
Creek, and part on Muddy Creek, within three
miles of Lehigh River, in Penn forest township,
Carbon County, one Of the great Coal Counties
of Pennsylvania, can be had at a bargain, if sp-
pGcation be made soon.
These lands are thickly covered with the best
timber of that region. While it is believed that
$4,000 feet of lumber to the acre, can be cut from
large portion of the land, the balance will aver
age not much less than this figure. The kinds OF
timber found on the land are Hemlock, Spruce or
White Cedar, White Oak, White Pine and
Chestnut-but principally made up OF White
Pine and Hemlock.
The Tobyhanna and Muddy Creeks are large
and rapid streams, yielding vast amount oil
water power, and are casable of driving large
number of saw mills They empty into the Lehigh'
which stream, with the Lehgh Canal uffolds an
outlet to the most desirable lumber markets
There is, too, under contemplation, railway
leading to the cities of New y York and PhiladelPhia
which runs within one mile and three quarters oil
| the land Through these avenues lumber can be
delivered in either of the cities named, for about
| ST per thousand feet-thus enabling persons en-
gagged in the trade to derive grester profits 'hah
| attend investments generally.
In addition to the timber, conver'l'!r into eve
nv shape of lumber, there is much that will an
swer for spars of vessels-a sort OF timber tha'
ship. p.buiIders have been obliged TO purchase IN
Maine, OF at other distant points.
Unlike most of the lands on the l'ehish there
has, as yet, been no culing of the timber on TINS
property. 1t stands undisturbed by the WOOD
mans axe 1t is, therefore, the more valuable;
The lumber trade OF the Lehigh has been carrieo
ON to such AN extent for years past that's scarcity
Of good timber is beginning to be felt. Every
season necessarily increases this difficulty ino
consequence must be an enhancement oil 'ne
value of timber lands. Those uD-culled uaes
with the advantage of avenues to markst ssen
as the lands offered for sale, possess, cannot IAN
| to be the sources of supply hereafter.
| But the land is not alone valuable tor the unn'
Der it contains II is of good quality for farming
nearly every acre being susceptible OF h!sh
state of cultivation. :,
Capitalists desiring to make investments, would
do well to turn their attention to these lands for

A FHILADELPHIAN IN DISTRESS Through
the intervention Of girls brother, with
revolver, young Philadslphian was obliged
TO marry woman he had seduced. The
affair transpired at Whesling, Va. After he
agreed 10 fulfill his promise Of marriage, his
misery proved too much to keep 10 himself,
and in the excitement OF the moment made
a confident Of a fellow boarder, begging him,
for Gods sake, TO loan him pistol. To
satisfy him, "bul dog" was finally procu-
red and loaded in his presence, but with ball
only, not particle OF powder being used in
the operation. He knew nothing of the de-
cepiion, however, and thought he wonld
soon be, where he said he was bound for,
viz:-the inhe1ihle bar of Jehovah. After
p1,ting on cap, the pistol was handed him.
He clu,ched it savaGely, and raising the
muzzle TO his forehead, recklessly pulled the
trigger. report from the explosion Of the
cap, lncSily, was all tina, followed. Recov-
eTng sober consciousness of his situation,
his anger melted down as wax before the
fame, while few friends talked with him
and administered friendly advice. In fact.
he almost wept. Arrangements were made
during the day, and the parties lef, for Yves,
Alexandria, where they were united in the
bonds of wedlock, and again all seemed
once more, contented and happy.

SIJNBTTRY AMERICAN AND SHAMOKIN JOURNAL.

~ Our Union county friends will have
a hot time OF it this fall The old 'sH's,
mormon-ism included, will all be merged
in the new issue Of division aud anti-divl-
sion. The division nen have evidently
the advantage, as the formation OF the new
county Of Snyder, with Selinsgrove as the
seat Of Justice, gives them q strong local
support in the lower end, whilst the remo-
val OF the seat OF Justice in the old county,
from New Berlin to Lewisburg secures a
strong local support from the latter place.
The truth is, our New Berlin friends will
be placed between two fires or batteries,
and will, no doubt, get good raking, fore
and aft, from the well directed and well
charged guns OF their adversaries. 1t il
hard to say which party will come of best
but the fight will no doubt be interesting tc
all concerned.
