"IMroKrAsT IF TRuE."-The Houston CTex-
as) Telegraph asserts that from recent surveys the
fact has been revealed that belt OF County,. varying
from 10 10 100 miles broad, extends que the
continent, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, which is
so level that railroad can be extended the v hole

CUTTING TIMER ON GovERYMEHr LAND
Eighty-three bills found by the Grand Jures
Gently empanneled at the sitting OF The L. S. District
Court in Michigan, for cutting and taking timber from
Government ands thirty hit pei cons thus charg d
had been arrested at the last accounts.
Statistics are sometime startling. 1t is said, and
in print too, that since 1649, in Great Britain, the
amount of letters posted has increased by 900 ia
has been SO. 900 per day. In Is4l the money orders
Of the Post Office amounted but to t690 900; while
in 1852 they swelled to no less than f9. 400 900!
From DR.. Gales Examiners Report, we gather
some idea o! ,he value OF patents.
A man who had made slight improvement in
Straw Cutters, took model Of his machine through
the Western States and after Of eight months
returned wiih $40 900. Another had machine to
hresh and clean grain which in fifteen months sold
for $50 600. a third obtained pa:sn, for prn.
ers ink, refused $4,000 for it and fnal, sold it Tor
S6O, ,000, These ordinary cases, whie such in
vcnons as the Telegraph, the P!aneing Machine and
the India Rubber Patents are worth Millions each.
Twenty seven Harvests, fifteen p'oughs, twenty
six seed plants, eight hresh!ns machines, ten corn
huliers, and three horse rakes have been patented
during the year, 10 addition to those now IN use.
Six new saw miiis, shinele split'ers, and
twenty new pIaneing machines have been patented do
ring the year.
Seven new machines that epn, .srentN that weave,
and seven that sew, are also described.
