The cash receipts for the quarter ending
September 30, 1855, are less than for the
same period last year, but the aggregate
locations are larger. The reason is that the
bounty land warrants were nearly exhausted
before the beginning Of the last fiscal year,
while the market is now well supplied with
them under the recent act Ten thousand
patents have been issued under the act OF
1855.
In the meantime the important fact begins
TO appear that the public lands are running
out. We have nominaly 100000 square
miles, that is some eight or ten hundred mil
lions of acres but perhaps iive.sixths of the
entire quantity is uninhabtahle and valueless
Already the Government Is unable to supply
lands in Minnesota to actual settlers at the
maximum price Of Sl,25 per. acre. We
sold and give away in lS53-'54, 23,000,OOO
of acres We sold at a nominal sum during
the past year 100000 acres and gave
away to States and individuals property
enough 10 make good the enormous quantity
OF 3O0O0,000 of acres. At this rate how
long will our two or three hundred millions
ofayailable public lands supply the demand
for the purposes Of settlement. TO say nothing
of the cNigencies Of the Treasury IN time OF
war or OF financial distress IN Minnesota
which has $4,000 Inhabitants, the lands TO be
offered this season have been arbitrarily re-
duced from four 10 one million of acres
The lands cannot be surveyed as fast as
Congress gives them away. This is said 10
be the cause of the reduction of the quantity
offered in Minnesota. Ia Utah, already SET
tied by some 10000 Mormons, the base line
has just been established, and perhaps years
must olapse before the Government, so Who'll
ly absorbed Is II IN the work Of graiuiiy. en-
furnish legal title to the lands occupied by

SPIRITUAL PREDicTioN.-Some ago
the New England .Spirifuaiisi published a
communication, received from spirt on the
Beth Of June. We suppose the fact that DR.
Kane has returned to contradict the predc-
ton only shows the spirit was bad one, not
that the whole affair was a mere cheat
The communication was as follows:
Dr.. Kane has recently passed away from
the earth lite, his mortal body having been
crushed by the ice, as he went after his
crew, who had gone in search Of land. His
ships have been broken to pieces ard de-
stToyed, and most, It not at oil his crew, are
in the spirit world. The spirit also stated
that he. 10 company with Dr. Kane. Sir John
Franklin and others, was last night in the
polar regions, aud saw the remains of Dr.
Kane, upon the ice, with clothes. papers aud
his walcu. upon which they saw his name
DR. Kane" he having engraved It thereon,
not expecting to escape, but hoping that II
might be found by some one in search Of
HIM.
