CAUTION TO THOSE ESrEEING prmIC LASps.
1t having been alleged TO the General Land
Office, that "some persons having obtained
1900 acres Of the public domain, under
the guisc Of the graduation law passed at the
last session Of Congress, acknowledging
that they have cvadcd the law on the grou d
that il docs not require them to state when
they design making the settlement under il, "
the Washington STIR states that under the
construction which the Secretary of the In
terror aud Commissioner Of the General
Land Office put oil the laud ia question, no
such swindlng entries will hc patented. The
construction OF the act, which these authori-
tics announce is, that that the reduction of
price Is cooperate only in favor of three elias
scs Of persons:
Ftrst-To persons who were actual set
tiers and occupants at the time Of the enact
ment OF the law, or such as may hereafter
become such settlers, and who may be cnti-
tied to pre-cmtion.
Secoad-To persons who desire the same
for his or her own use, and for the purpose
of actual settlement and cultivation. That
is, where the land is desired for the immcdi.
ate use Of that particular person as n farm
for himself or family, and for no other use
and purpose; and
Wird-To persons who already occupy or
own land previously acquired, who may be
desirous ofsccurng public land adjoining that
so occupied or owned, with view to the
extension Of their present "flrm or planta-
ton" No other person can rightiully avail
himself Of the provisions of the graduation
law in this respect. All entries made under
other circumstances will he regarded by the
General Land Office as Illegal and therefore
void

AygcDorE--A farmer lately died without
will, leaving a large property to fi7o sons.
The eldest OF these "whosc mind proud sci

a friend that it deyolyed on him TO represent
the facts to the Porbate Court of his Coun-

That his father lately died intcstatc, lea
wing five sons, of whom he was the eldest,
and that he wished TO obtain alcttcr of admi-
uistraton, so aS to divide the estate equally
amongst them before il could suffer loss.
Being very much inflated with the idea OF
what an important position he was about to
occupy, he FASTENED to the proper place, and
addressing the Court, thus delivered himself:

a COFFEE pLANTATioN.-The Coffee plant
requires some shade, and hence the panta-
tons are diversified by alternate rows OF Ba-

beautiful gardens that can well be conceived,
in its variety and beauty battling correct d..

tcristcs of the low latitudcs which must be
seen to be understood. An estate devoted to
this purpose usually covers some 800 acres
of land, planted in regular squares of eight
acres, and intcrsectcd by broad alleys OF
Palms, Oranges, Sc, &c. Mingled with
these are planted Lemons, Pomegranates,
Cape Jasmins, and a species of wild Hello.

The Boston Courier gives the following
account Of a remarkable case now occupying
the attention of the Supreme Court:
The Supreme Court room has been thron-

en-, "spritualists' mainly, who are either
interested directly or seeking pleasure in the

accomplishments. These ladies watch the
proceedings with anxiety and apparent car

that Mrs. kiddcr had, on several occasions,
attempted to convert her 10 the free love

Columbus Fact states that recently band
of Indians gave performances in Somerset,
Ohio and that two girls, sisters were so cap
tivatcd with the Glance and the whoop" of
these Sons of Nature, that they asked per-
mission to accompany them. which being
gallantly antcd they proceeded as far as
Putnam, where they were ovcrtaken by the
mother of the girls, n spry widow, who
called on the police to aid her in recovering
her "wild.going" daughters. But alas for
woman's resistance to loves appeals when
pressed in that cloquencc and those
signs of natural affection and simplicity
which these sons of the forest could bring to
bear! After little "talk," and private
interview with the chiefs, the mother dis
charged the police, and made II third "wiling
