REsovAL OF THE CoUxrY SBAr.--Two petit
tons have been presented 10 the Legislature for
the removal of the county seat OF Iowa County
one containing some 1860 names, in favor Of
locating il at Dodgeville aud Of about 600, in
favor (if removed at alp of Linden To Offset
these some twelve or fifteen hundred names have
demonstrated against any removal. What tie
action of the Legislature will be upon the subject,
we are unable 20 say but we cannot believe that
any large portion of the Tax payers of the county
willing 10 subject themselves 10 the payment
of large sum for the erection of new county
buildings while State and County Taxes are
as high as al present. The county AZ this time is
so nearly out of debt; that for the frs, time since
its present organization, County Orders are worth
over 50 cents the dollar, and it would certainly
seem the heighth of folly, TO create 4 new debt
that would again depreciate that currency to al
most nothing, aal increase the county taxes for
years 10 come.

RAGS pethroned-Rasswood LOOKING Up.

The Albany EreHins Journal of Saturday, comes
to us printed upon Eastwood paper manufactured
by an invention of O. w. Beardser OF ALBANY
The paper has good body, and takes a fair i'm
preston The Journal says that it will xork
revolution in paper making, and compel rags to
abdicate 1t adds
But Mr.. B. is not restricted to Eastwood He
has made experiments which leave no doubt up,
on his mind that paper of texture even superior
to that which he has already produced from that
wood can be produced from other native woods
found in equal abundance.
The pulp is manufactured very cheaply, and by
a very simple process-known, of course. TO him
self alone 1t can be packed in bags. as conpact-
ly as cotton, and sent as readily 10 any part Of
the country world, and at rates which Cif it
shall prove ayailable) must ultimately drive rags
entirely out of the market.
Thus far Mr.. B. has only manufactured so
much pulp as was necessary for the prosecution
of his experiments. But he proposes, as soon as
arrangements can be perfected 10 enter largely
into the manufacture of the article for market
1t can be used in any paper mill, furnished ready
for the finishing engine, and capable Of producing
a weight OF paper equal to the weight of the pulp
used. Consequently. in adopting it, no new ma
chinery will be required, but great deal of the
most cumbersome now used and much Of the most
unpleasant part of the work of making paper
from rags, may be dispensed with

Speculation in Coal Lands.

The Wilkesbarre Record Of tie Times
contains the following account Of the sales
of Coal Lands that are taking place at
present in that region:
Large sales of Coal land continne to
be rumored. Some four or five hundred
acres near this Borough, running from
the Canal over the mountain, have just
changed hands at q figure which renders
the working of them pretty certain. 1t
will give new life and activity to this part
of tho valley. The Coal will be needed
before it can be opened, however active
the Company may be. The purchasers
are Philadelphians.
An old resident of the Lackawanna
Valley, man who has roughed it through
many years of hard times on an upland
farm, has recently sold, we hear, for over
one hundred thousand dollars. Anotb-
er, short time since, sold for more than
sixty thousand. 1t must be terrible
load of anxiety and care for man in his
old age, after enjoying the freedom of a
back woodsolife for three score years or
more. A farm on the Lackawanna, for
which $50 an acre was considered fair
price two or three years ago, is now in
negotiation at $500 per acre, as we arc
informed

bama, stepped to his side and looked con-
fidently up to his eyes with her hands on
his arm, and said ,.'
Il am thine
BY this time his arm was around her
waist and parting her curls-black as the
raven at midnight-looking steadlastly in
her face for moment and signed the
contract with kiss that all the married
ladies afterwards pronounced to be of the
genuine sort, perfectly satisfactory. Rails
ing his dashing eyes with triumphant
expression from the pleasant job just men
toned, he said:
'Where is the parson! Send him here
ON this spot we'll be made one. l never
let such luck pass me by waiting a minute,
SO 60 ahead, and on that spot where first
they met, were they solemnly united for
ever
When the words, what God had joined
let no man put asunder,' died away, a
shout went up that awakened the ochoes,
for miles, every hand was extended to the
happy, lucky, ventursome fellow, and eve
ry lady in that crowd pressed the lips of
his trusting wife. For a moment I wish
ed I were her, but instantly recovered
my self possession, and thrus: the weak
ness from me, (women kissing each other
always seemed a waste of sweetness, but
they know best,) and laughing, shouting
and happy, VIC all returned on board.
Our generous captain sat a splendid
supper, the clerk made out two certificates,
they were signed by the parson and seven
ty-four witnesses-ive more made nine
you know, men and women all told-eye-
rybody signed.
Then we danced, we laughed, we made
children of ourselves-yes I'm afraid we
made fools Of ourselves. Be that as it
may. when the watch was changed at So
lemn noon Of night, the bluffs on the dark
shores of the river returned only the echo
of the hoarse coughing of the engines of
the Emily Barton, for we slept, and our
dreams vainly tried to vie with the lovely
reality of the evening.
