An IMPORTANT LAND OFFICE DEc1.
sIoE.-We understand that the Com.
missioner of the General Land Office,
has decided that entries made under
the graduation law of the 4th of August
last, are not assignable until after the
patents may have been issued. So,
there can be. no speculation entries
made under that law. A warrantee
deed for such lands before the patent
has been issued, viii be worthless.

son, the late Keesyille postmaster, who
has been confined in jail here to await
trial before the United States District
Court, which opens this week in Albany,

his escape last night with the aid of a
small saw and rope. Before he at
tempted to escape, he induced fellow
prisoner who complained of being un-
well, to take a dose of medicine, "
giving him chloroform, from the effects
of which the "patient" did not recover
until this morning. He was confined in
the main hall up stairs. By saving
away one of the bars, he was admitted
to the back hall, and therefore had no
difficulty in making his exist with rope
from the rear window.
The following letter was found in his
cell this morning:

senting bill for my expenses with you,
will, no doubt pay it. Any letters
coming here, might be returned to me
