Forged Land Warrants,
Correspondence of the N. 7. Tribune,
WASHINGTON. April 30. 49,

WASHINGTON, April 80, 1856.
There is no solid foundation for the statement,
circulated over the country by telegraph, tina. for
gcres of land warrants to the extent of a million
of acres had been discovered here; nor indeed
has any information been received AUTHORIZING
even such an impression, except upon the loose
knowledge of single fact, which will be explain
ed; some time ago. gang Of the parties who
had been engaged in forging warrants were de-
teeted at New Orleans and their whole apparatus,
with large stock of warrants in blank, were
seized and destroyed. No pains were taken to as
certain their nominal aggregate, and the opinion
that itrepresented " million Of acres''-which
was casually expressed-was wholly coniectural.
This is an old transaction, and was only revived
by a reference TO some recent disclosures to which
IL Is not proper to allude at this time.

Gen. Tom Thumb is now 10 years of age,
weighs . pounds, and exhibits himself in New
York.
Gen. Tom Thumb has been 9years old for the
past FIVE years. When we FIRST saw him, fourteen
years ago, on the wharf at Bridgeport, Connec.i-
cut, he was then little dirty face boy, said at
that time to be 10 years old-now he is only 10!
There is policy in making him out young, for the
younger he is the more ladies will kiss him, or
rather allow themselves to be kissed BY him!-
Strange isn't it? Wore only 49,!

THE WEAruER.---The weather Yesterday

---warm is too weak word to express our
meaning. The Suns rays almost scorchcd
clothes and blistered vegetation, and Yet some
Of our sharp-featured Yankees and ple,horc
Dutchmen, exclaim---" IT'S too cold to raise

are almost freezing to death with the cold will

states: that on the 24h inst, about sixty of the
the ladies of Hanover, dby the grand daughter
OF Daniel Boone, ''ths Hunter of Kentucky,'
made demonstration against a large build
ing next door to the Post Office, which had
become notorious gambling and drinking es-
Enlistment. The doors were burst in with
siedge hammer, the decanters shivered the casks
empted OF their contents, and the whole building
pulled down with ropes. When their mission was
finished, the company marched up before the door
OF the Post Office and passed tho following reso-
luton:
Resolved. That we, the ladies of Hanover.

CALIFORNIA MUsTARD.--There is found growing
wild in that most wonderful of all lands, Calfor.
MIA, kind of mustard that is said to be superior
to any other variety. One man has cultivated a
field of forty acres, and last year he ground up
a thousand bushels for market. 1t is said it can
be sent TO New York and sold for profit at less
price than the current rate in this market

CATTLE DYISG.-It is said that cattle and
horses are dying by hundreds on the American
Bottom and in that region in Illinois-supposed
to result either from the effects of some poison
Gus herb growing there, or some virulent diseases,
which has become epidemical among them. All
those attacked manifest the same symptoms, and
it is therefore probable that it is from the same

BY Mp.
Or! bright the besstes of Spring,
AMI sweet are its soft sunny hours,
The Mild warhl,rs notes tune glad welcoming,
And music resounds from the bowers.
Far nature awakcs from her gloom,
Behold the fresh grass Of the vale,
Oh. see where sweet Flora. all rich in perfume,
Spreads loves rosy Joys through the dale.
And look To the wosds of the hill,
Or view the thick groves IF the plain,
wherever their forms the fresh landscape doth al,
They're bright with soft -erdure again.
And many dsep incssy dell,
Bespangled with flowers most fair.
Arouse widest thoughts with the roInsnce they tell,
And charm the lone wanderer there.
No more the rivulets bound,
For hear how enchanting their song,
No more do the fields with tn. cold blast resound,
But o'er them sweet zephyrS play 'lons.
The dark scenes have vanished away,
The sky all res; lendant appears,
And where it was desoiate, now it is gay
There's uaught but happily cheers.
Oh, who the sweet prospect can view,
So veriant, 80 lovely and rrSht,
And feel not joyous strength to renew
The soul, as it thrills with delight.
Ana who has SO harden'd heart,
Bereft OF the feelings Of ovs.
A. not a deep gratitude huulby TO impagt
Inpraise 10 the Author above.

EVASION OF THE LIaUoR LAw.---The fol-
lowing advertisement was found on Sand Pra-
lrie Slough, Minnesota Territory, on the door
of a log cabin:---
"Aney Wone that wants Liquor or VIII skev
---folow the Road "A Bove the Stable over the
hill into the hollow j will Come and Git what
you want"
We wonder if the author of the above did
not see old Nick grinning from behind his hot
furnace, and heard his he! he ha. ha LAS
he repeated over the woros--.''j will Come and
Git what you want!" But such an evasion of
the law won't win---the whole power of the
United States is after the rumselIer on the
West side of TIE river, and like Capt SCOTS
coon, she's bound to come down." "The road
above the stable over the hill in the hollow" is
the road that leads to poverty and Death -
Stop! stranger !---don', travel hot road See
how sere and desola,e vegetation is! Look
yonder !---ihat path is strown with Rowers.---
Take Tit will lead you TO happiness.

WHEAr.-From all parts of the country favor
able accounts come to of the prospect of
good crop of growing wheat. True, wheat has
so many enemies and difficulties to contend with
before reaching maturity, that no certain calcu-
lation can he made from present appearances
vet the chances of crop are much better when
the fields look green and vigorous early in the
season. In some of the Southern States, the
wheat harvest comes on in May and June.
