Valuable Information for Land
Warrant Applicants.
OF The COurier q En-
quirer.)

tFrom the Correspondent of the Courier & En-
quirer.)
WASHINGTON, April IL.
Up to the close of Tuesday the 10th,
the number of applications received was
60, 900, representing claims to the a.
mount of 5000, 900 acres of land. All
inquiries as to the validity of particu-
lar cases, the sufi cheney of proof, &C.,
are yet premature. 1 applied to the Com
missioner on behalf of a claimant, to as
certain whether the absence of notarial
seal was a material omission. He repli-
ed that it was, and added that the pa
pers could not be Withdrawn for correc-
ton, because the cases had not yet been
numbered nor classified. But he stated
further that valid claims, when taken
up for consideration, would not lose
their places, on the calender, because of
informality and insuficiency in the &C
companying proofs.
No patents can be issued before the
middle of June. The plate, which is
said to be of ehaste and beautiful design,
is in the hands of Mcssrs. Rawdon,
Hatch s. Co., of New York, who will
not be able to complete it before the
date named above. The Warrants will
be issued at the rate of five hundred a
dag after the issue commences

Take Care of your Eyes.

Few persons realize the value efunin-
jured sight till their eyes become injuri-'
ously effected by improper usage, The
following suggestions Of a contemtorarJ,
which have lately fallen under our OBJ
servation, are highly valuable as we can
testify from experience:
First, never use a writing-desk or Ia
bic with your face nwards a window
In such cases the rays of light come
directly upon the pupil of the eye, and,
causing an unnatural and forced con-
traction thereof, soon permanently in
jure the sight. Next, when your table
or desk is near a window, sit so that
your face turns from, not towards, the
window while you are writing. Ifyour
face is towards the window the obliquo
rays strike the eye and injure it nearly
as much as the direct rays when you sit
in front of the window. 1t is best al.
ways to sit or stand while reading OF
writing with the window behind you
and next to that che light coming over
your left side; then the light iflumes
the paper or book and does not shine
abruptly upon the eye-ball.
The same remarks are applicable tc
artificial light. We are asked what ii
the best light-gas, candles. oil or cam.
phene? Our answer, is, it is inmate
rial which, provided the light of either
be strong enough and do not flicker
A gas fish tail burner should never b.
used for reading or writing, because
there is a constant oscillation or flicker
ing of the fame. Candles, unless they
have self consuming wick, which do no
require snuffing, should not be used
We need scarcely say that oil-wicks
which crust over and thus diminish tn
light, arc good for nothing /; and tn
same is true of compounds of the ma
ture of camphene, unless the wicks ar
properly trimmed of all their quinn,
deposites after standing tweaty-fou
hours.
But, whatever the artificial ligh
used let it strike the paper or boo,
which you are using, whsnever you can
from the left shoulder. This can Away
be done with gas, for that light is stron
enough, and so is the light from cam
phene, oil, &c.. provided it comes thrc
a circular burner, like the argand. Blu
the light, whatever it be, should Away
be protected from the air in the ROOF
by a glass chimney, SO chat the light ma
be steady.

Archbishop Hughes and Senator
Brooks.

The controversy is going on between
these gentlemen in the New York papers,
relative to the ownership of property
by the Bishop. Senator Brooks quotes
from the records to show what property
stands in the name of the Bishop, and
if we may Judge from the temper dis
played by the two, the Arch Bishop is
coming out second best. When a dis
putant looses his temper aud falls back
upon the blackguard's weapon, hard
names, it is fair to presume that argu-
ment Is exhausted, and nothing is left
but Billingsgate. Once get an ~oFponent
to call you a liar, and your victory is
close at hand. In a late letter, the
Bishop says of Mr.. Brooks
Falshood he has been guilty of in al
most every paragraph of his speech on
the 9th of March, and of his writings in
reference to it since.
Mr.. Erastus Brooks has exhibited
himself in the light of a man who has
no regard for veracity, and who is, there
fore, utterly unworthy of notice. take
him consequently, with covered hands
to the nearest open OF a window, and
send him forth with the SINCE mental
observation, eco hence, wretched and
vile insect,-the world has space for you
as we'll as me-"
+ John, Archbishop of New York.
To which Mr.. Brooks makes this
most aoithering reply.
fl had no respect for myself and
hone for the truth of the case of issue,
I might give lie for lie and brand
for /" brand" But IN dealing aolth an
Arch5aShop I choose rather to remember
his high and holy calling than his loao
example. If it is either coed manners,
sound logic or true religion to answer a
proven fact with such words as the Arch
bishop makes SO familiar to his lips and
pen, he is more thar welcome, in this
controversy, to the advantage they give
him.

in a highly prosperous condition, and
then again but barely able to keep up.
Its day Of trial is past, and the day of

position. The number of students in
attendance is now over seventy, and the

THE ISSUE TO BE PRESENTED BY THE
F~usIoNIsTs.- The Lebanon Star, a
very rabid and dirty Wing paper, de-
clares that among the issues to be de-
cided by the people of Ohio at the ensu-

eigner shall be allowed, after 1856, to
vote in the State until he has been here
fourteen or twenty-one years. He adds
that "the KNOWN Nothing party will new

SUNDAY Hook, May 4.
The steamer Atlantic has arrived,
with Liverpool dates to the 2lst ult.
The Vienna conference had been brok-
en- off, Russia rejecting the demands of
the Allies. [
Sebastopol had been bombarded since
the 9th of April, but the result was in
doubt when the steamer sailed.
The new British loan had been all ia
ken.
The Emperor Napoleon, accompanied
by the Empress Eugenie, had been all
the week in England, and they were i'm
mensely glorifed.
The new British loan is for 10000
900 pounds and was taken by the Roths
childs at 100 pounds in %consols at l4s
cd. 1t is the shape of an annuity, end
ing in thirty years.
Increased taxes on incomes, spirits,
tea, coffee, sugars and stamps are pro-
posed.
It is reported hat England assents
to Louis Napoleon taking command of
the Allied army. 1t was, however, re-
garded, as a doubtful rumor.
The Vienna conference was bro ken
off after its 18th session, Russia abso-
lutely refusing to assent to the proposals
of France and England.
There are strong indications that Ats
tria will refuse to act against Russia.
Lord John Russell and NJ. Drouyn de
Shuys had left Vienna. The general
bom~bardment of Sebastopol, from 500
guns, commenced on the 9th aud con-
tinued necessarily but up to the 18th
an assault had not been practicable
1t was tie intention to storm the place if
possible.

The present Clerk made out a statement
to the commissioners of the County of
the amount of these blanks and the pro-
bable length of time they would last the
Office. The present Clerk expressed him
self willing to take of these blanks sufi-
cisnt to last the office a year, and we be-
lieye the bill allowed for the same, was
80 or 90 dollars. The Commissioners,
we understand, refused to audit the bal
anee.-ITn1eS.
Although we left the Office as we found
it, well supplied with blanks, yet the
present Clerk only wishes to take enough
to last one year. Why not all we
took all that was left US. The truth is
to be found in the fact, that the game is
to throw some printing in favor of the
the Wing press. The Commissioners
did not refuse to ratify our account.

e Maine Law.

Every person, heretofore, regarded
the old Main Law as quite stringent
enough; many believed it too stringent,
but the late Legislature enacted another
section which goes far ahead of any thing
we have yet heard of. The following
addition has been made
"If an expressman, cartman, porter,
or any other person, shall carry a bottle,
OF cask, or demijohn of wine or other Ii
quors, to a gentleman's residence, he is
subject to a fine of twenty dollars and
costs for the first offence. For the Sec
ond offence, a fine and costs, and thirty
days imprisonment is the penalty.

It is related of CANUrE the Great,
King of Denmark, that in order to re-
buke a swarm of Courtiers, who endeav-
cred to make him believe he was a God,
he ence had himself carried to the sea-
shore in his Chair of State, and there
commanded the augy a to be still,
but they refused to obey his command.
The people have justly complained of
the high prices at which Clothing has
been sold heretofore, but j. W. Bn0wFx

SMALL NoTEs.-Among the acts pass
ed by the late Legislature of New York
was one repeating the law against the
circulation in that State of small notes
issued by banks in other States. Here
is a fine chance for spectators in rags.
The bogus banks in the District Of Col
umbia have now a field of operations
opened to them by the Solons of the
Empire State. The majority Of the
Legislatures of New York, New Jersey
and Pennsylvania seem, from their acts
to be the special friends of the new
banks and a paper currency.

We are to have a State Fair.

1t affords unfeigned delight to say
that the State Board of Agriculture
have decided to hold the Fair as usual
on the 18th 10Th goth and 2Ist days of
September. At their present meeting
at COLUMBUS, the Journal says, a com
mittee appointed to confer with the Off
GERS of the different roads centering in
Columbus reported that these rail road
companies had restored former facilities
to exhibitors. On motion of Mr.. JOS
SULIvANr, it was una. imously resolved
to hold the Fair at Columbus with the
usual guarantee, of $1,000 and the free
use of suitable grounds which condition
was complied with on the spot by the
citizens of Columbus. The board is
still in session and from the tone of the
Journal are as happy as "clams at high
water"
1t would have been a shame, a dis.
grace to Ohio, the third State in this
Union, and a State of such unlimited
agricultural r%esourcns, to have omitted
the show. The railroad companies in
their zeal to correct abuses were in the
impulse of the moment led to extremes,
but thoy will rectify all such inconsid-
crate action, we doubt not.-CkeUetaad
