R. W.. FURSAs, ESQ
DEAR SIR-CoL. PARKHR has arrived
with the books Of the Land Office, which will
be opened in a few days for the transaction Of
business. II is a matter of much interest TO
those who desire to file declaration of intention
to pre-etnpt, as it viii not only save the dol
lars, but also relieve the settler Of that usual
anxiety attendant upon the entry Of land, and
the uncertainty of their papers being fled.
Now is the time for the squatter sovereigns
throughout the Territory to settle all their
claim difficulties, and disagreements as to Hues.
and quantity, preparatory to their attendance
in a body at the land sales to take care of their
respective interests.
In this region of the Territory, the settlers
contemplate appointing a Township or District
bidder to purchase the lands of individuals
as they may be registered, in accordance with
the club regulations in relation to the entry of
claims.
Court is yet in session, and much business
has been done. The United States criminal.
who has been under guard in this county for
several months, cannot be tried in this District
and it appears somewhat doubtful whether any
Of the Territorial Courts have jurisdiction in
the case. Some think he should be court
marshalled; others that he should be tried by
Judge HARDIN; and others argue that he
should be released for want of jurisdiction Ell
Their by the Courts of the Territory or army.
A horse thief had two indictments found
against him, and he was sentenced to impris-
onment in the Penitentiary for the term Of one
year; which is equivalent to putting the Sher
if in prison himself, for he will be compelled
to keep him, as there is no prison in the Terri.

punishment to the officer than the criminal
Active preparations are being made for the
~assemblage of the Legislature this winter
The House is to meet in the third story o
Root & Henry's brick block, and the Council
in the second story, both Of which will be SUI
feiently commoaious to accommodate the re
spectiye Houses comfortably, and have sufi
cient room for a large lobby. Candidates ar
already making their bow to the several mem
bers of the Legislature, for posts in each Hous
, for the inferior Offices. Before the electio,
the candidates for the Legislature appeared t
be anxious to relieve the wants of many {
their constituency, in the way Of oyster SUP
. pers and champaign. Now the programme
reversed, and they are taking a turn at supper
at the expense Of others. Lively times are ar
ticipated in the way of conflicting claims frol
different portions OF the Territory.
The steamer Castle Garden, is now at til

SCHOOL.

1t is gratifying to know that we are to have
a good school here this winter. Mr.. II. S.
THORPE, a competent teacher, opened a school
on Monday morning last. By another season
we feel quite confident that circumstances viii
be such that we will be favored with a school
the entire year. The subject of education is
an important one, and we are proud to an
nounce that Notwithstanding the many other
pressing wants of a new and rapidly filling up
community, that our people are wide awake
relative to this matter, and are determined that
our children shall have the benefit of good
schools.

The WEATHER-The past week we have
had a touch Of Nebraska Winter in earnest,
Monday was cold and rainy that night it blew
up cold, frOze up tight and commenced snow
ing; Tuesday a regular snow storm prevailed
all day-rendering it one Of the most unpleas-
ant days we ever witnessed. We notice {
great deal of stock without shelter. Snch
weather IS killing on unprotected stock. Fht
river at this point is entirely closed. Team
have crossed the Missouri on the ice at Nehnahi
City. None we believe has ventured here
yet it is thought to be perfectly safe. Snow
about ten inches Oh an average, but has il
many places drifted as many feet deep.

R. w. FURNAs, ESQ.,
DEAR SIR Great excitement was pro-
duced here yesterday, in consequence of the
appearance of Shares Of Stock for South Glen
wood, a new town laid out at the intersection
Of Keg Creek with the Missouri Valley. The
arrangements had all been made by a company
who saw proper to transact business in their
own way, and, therefore, concocted the matter
among themselves, previous to making it pub
lie.
The town is designed as the Derot grounds
for the Burlington and Plattsmouth Railroad,
and the Shares by the acre are selling at $3.50.
Many of the citizens of Glenwood are trem-
bling in fear Of the results of this town oppo-
sition.
Considerable interest is felt here in relation
to the opening of the Land Office at Omaha
Nebraska.
The railroad interest is still encouraging to
holders of real estate, and permanent residents
of Mills county.
Chester, at the Salt Springs, and Pawhoceo,
on the Platte in Nebraska, are still sought for
as being towns Of considerable importance, as
their turn comes.
a division of lots in Plattsmouth, N. ~
took place here, a few days since, which has
created some stir inthe town market, and lot:
are on the rise. Yesterday five hundred dol.
lars were paid for a half lot, and that, by ne
means in the most desirable portion of th'
town. Good prices are also offered and some
!, times taken in many other parts of the town
Glenwood appears to be rather dull, at pres
